Prayer Is A Refuge From The Noise And Chaos
It is easy to feel overwhelmed these days. Modern life presents many challenges, from personal struggles to global issues.
We live in a world increasingly dominated by negativity, division and fear, where cruelty and hatred are not only considered acceptable, but even celebrated.
It’s really no secret to the spiritually aware person that there is an increasing battle between good and evil. Negative influences often masquerade as appealing or trendy, making it even more important to stay connected to your inner truth and divine guidance.
I often have to turn off my cell phone and television these days as I see the forces of evil growing stronger than ever. It can be hard to stay grounded in hope and clarity.
Fortunately, we have access to a variety of spiritual practices to help us stay grounded, find clarity, and maintain our inner balance. My favorite is a powerful, time-honored tradition: prayer.
While prayer is practiced in many religions and spiritual traditions, it is universal and can be embraced by anyone, regardless of their belief system. It transcends cultural and religious boundaries and is not tied to any dogma or required ritual.
Traditionally, religious prayer follows specific doctrines, but prayer is an open practice available to anyone to contemplate and express their deepest thoughts, feelings, and desires in a mindful, empowering way.
Tarot Forecast February 2025: Four Of Pentacles
This month’s card is the Four of Pentacles, symbolizing stability, control, and a strong desire to protect one’s resources.
It speaks to themes of holding on to what you have earned, both materially and emotionally. However, this card also warns against becoming too protective or possessive, which can lead to stagnation and missed opportunities.
The overarching theme for the month is staying in the flow. The Four of Pentacles reminds us that while creating security and stability is important, true balance and a blessed life comes from allowing life’s energies to flow naturally.
Holding on too tightly in an attempt to control everything blocks new possibilities and opportunities, while carelessly letting go completely can lead to instability and chaos.
The challenge for February is to maintain a foundation that is both secure and adaptable — holding on to just enough to guide your path, but remaining open to the unfolding currents of life.
Traditionally, the Four of Pentacles depicts a man sitting firmly on a throne holding four pentacles or coins. He’s holding them firmly, with one balanced on his head, one in his arms, and two under his feet. This image symbolizes material attachment, greed, stinginess, and fear of loss. He is so focused on clinging to his precious possessions that he can’t concentrate on anything else.
When Spirit Reveals The Sugar-Free Truth
When you consult a reputable psychic medium, you are receiving channeled messages from angels, spirit guides, ancestors, or loved ones in spirit. Your team of spiritual helpers has a simple goal: to offer you the guidance, insight, protection, and support you need most at that moment in your life.
Psychic mediums are merely the messengers — spiritual conduits who relay information from the unseen realms to you. It’s important to remember this when you receive a reading, because we do not control the messages that come through.
Your guides, angels and soul family who work with you decide what information to share and when to share it. Sometimes what they reveal is exactly what you wanted to hear. Other times it’s not what you were expecting at all.
Often the messages you receive from the spirit realm bring clarity to your questions and resonate deeply with your current experience. But sometimes their meaning is not immediately apparent. It’s only later, with a fresh perspective or as new events unfold, that the pieces click into place.
Your guides and guardians always act in your best interests. Their ultimate goal is to help you grow, evolve and move forward. They don’t want you to get stuck in situations or mindsets that no longer serve your highest good.
But growth and spiritual evolution are rarely smooth rides. Personal development often involves challenges, discomfort, and moments of hard truth. Consulting a psychic or medium is not just a curiosity or a fun activity — it is a spiritual act of courage, healing and growth. It’s an invitation to connect with hidden truths, future possibilities, and higher states of consciousness.
The Miracle Power Of Divine Timing
Patience is considered a virtue, something that makes us better people. But it’s so much more than that — it’s a spiritual principle that can truly transform your life for the better.
In today’s fast-paced, click-now world, where everything is at our fingertips, it can seem a real struggle to practice patience. But being patient isn’t just about waiting. It’s about how you wait.
It’s about slowing down, taking a deep breath, and letting go of the need to control everything. Patience is not about being passive or giving up; it’s about trusting the timing of the universe and going with the flow.
Everything in life happens exactly when it’s supposed to, even if it doesn’t feel that way in the moment. There’s always a bigger plan at play — one that we co-create with the universe through our thoughts, intentions and actions. When you trust this process,you soon discover that even setbacks and obstacles are actually stepping stones.
When things don’t go as planned, it’s easy to get frustrated and think that nothing is working out. But often what feels like a “no” or a delay is actually the universe saying, “Hang in there, I’ve got something better for you. Patience is about believing that everything will eventually make sense, even if you can’t see it now.
The problem with impatience is that it upsets everything. It’s like trying to push a door that’s supposed to pull — it just creates resistance. When we’re impatient, relationships can crack under pressure. Work can feel unstable or hard to pin down. Money problems seem bigger and harder to solve. Impatience feeds frustration, and frustration can create an energy block that pushes the good stuff away.
How To ‘Face Everything And Rise’ (F.E.A.R.)
It’s okay to feel afraid sometimes – some fear responses are a natural and vital part of our built-in self-protection system. Rooted in our primal survival instincts, fear helps us identify and respond to real threats, such as a raging fire or a dangerous wild animal.
Survival fear arises in response to immediate, tangible threats to our safety or well-being. It’s a necessary, life-preserving mechanism based on objective, real-world risks that ensure our survival. By activating the body’s fight-or-flight response, it enables us to act quickly and stay safe.
But not all fears are instinctual, nor do they serve our highest good. Irrational fears arise from societal conditioning, cultural expectations, false beliefs, past traumas, or imagined scenarios. These fears are learned or imagined, not instinctual.
Unlike survival fear, irrational fears reflect internalized doubts, imaginery threats and false narratives that serve no protective function at all. Instead, they just interfere with our personal growth, decision-making, and well-being.
Conditioned fears are typically exaggerated or irrational, existing more in the mind than in reality. Examples include fear of failure, fear of rejection, or fear of not living up to social standards. Self-limiting fears can trap us in cycles of self-doubt and hesitation, limiting our ability to take risks, grow, and live wholeheartedly.
To live our best lives, we must learn to recognize these irrational fears, challenge their validity, and prevent them from taking control of our life and well-being. By stepping back and evaluating the source of our fears, we can release what no longer serves us, reclaim our joy, and unlock our full potential.
The Past Life Memories Embedded In Your Cells
Have you ever met someone and had the feeling that you had met them before, or that they were somehow a kindred spirit?
Have you ever tried unfamiliar foods that suddenly seemed very familiar or evoked feelings of nostalgia? Places that seemed very familiar even though you had never been there before?
Have you ever smelled a vaguely familiar scent that made you feel a certain way, or took you back to a distant time or place, not in this lifetime, but somewhere, sometime, long, long ago?
These experiences are more than coincidences. They are manifestations of your cellular memories.
The human body is made up of billions of cells that communicate with each other. Each of these cells is a living, breathing, feeling organism and carries energy imprints of all our memories and experiences in our current life as well as our past lives.
Every memory and experience from every life we have ever lived is recorded and stored in the Akashic Records – the cosmic library where the history of every soul’s journey is archived. It is a complete history of everything you have ever said, thought, felt and done throughout your soul’s entire growth journey.
This cosmic collection of past life memories and experiences is embedded in the cellular memory of your new physical body when you are reborn. The cells of your current body therefore carry many energy imprints, not only of your ancestral genetics, but also of your past life memories and experiences, and they affect your life, health and well-being on a daily basis, including your relationships.
Forgiving Yourself Is A Spiritual Necessity
Self-forgiveness is more than just a mental health recommendation – it is a spiritual necessity. It is vital for the spiritually aware person to release guilt, self-blame, and self-criticism, because forgiving oneself is crucial to both personal well-being and spiritual progress. It allows for healing, growth, and the ability to live a more fulfilling and harmonious life.
Failure to forgive ourselves can have profound personal and spiritual side effects. Carrying guilt and self-blame leads to chronic emotional distress and contributes to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Over time, this can manifest itself in physical symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, or even chronic illness.
A lack of self-forgiveness undermines self-worth and hinders personal growth and development. Difficulty forgiving yourself also strains your relationships with others, as it can lead to withdrawal, defensiveness, or projecting negativity onto those around you. Without forgiveness, our negative feelings toward ourselves can fester and damage even our most cherished relationships with our loved ones and friends.
Holding onto guilt and self-blame blocks the flow of positive energy through the chakras and hinders spiritual well-being. For example, guilt often stagnates in the solar plexus chakra, affecting one’s sense of personal power. Self-forgiveness is essential for clearing such blockages in the energy field.
Forgiveness is also essential to achieving inner peace and harmony. Without it, one can experience constant inner turmoil and restlessness. When we hold onto guilt, shame, or self-blame, parts of our spiritual essence or inner divinity are suppressed or disconnected. It causes separation from one’s spiritual path or a sense of disconnection from spirit and the divine.
