All Signs Point To......
Posted by: "holly@ravenoriginals.com" holly@ravenoriginals.com hollyberrysheart
Mon Aug 1, 2011 9:55 am (PDT)
On my in to work this morning I was greeted right away with the angelic
numbers 222. (222 meaning â€" Have faith. Everything’s going to be
all right.)
This made me smile as I felt blessed and comforted seeing the numbers
there in front of me as I drove to work. I began to think about signs in
general.. what they mean to people and their significance to others.
I also thought for a moment about those who would like to tell us that
we make things up to mean things and that none of it really means
anything .. we just say that it does.
Then I thought … well who cares if it is real or not. If I am able to
find comfort in something as simple as a set of numbers, then whats the
harm… what does it matter to anyone else but me. It means something to
me and that is all that matters.
The truth is that none of us can truly say what is at the end of our
road until that end has come to be. Having faith and something to
believe in doesn’t hurt anyone at all. If in times of stress,
hardship, struggle, loneliness or whatever the case may be .. you are
able to find comfort in whatever sign it is you have chosen to see then
so be it. You are the only one effected by the sign.. so whats the big
deal. Why is it some are so bent on arguing about what sign you chose to
believe in and whether or not it is a real sign or not??? I think maybe
the case is that they have their eyes closed so tightly to what cannot
be explained that they don’t “SEE†.. and when others say that
they have “SEEN†they feel.. .well they feel a bit left out and
since they haven’t “SEEN†any signs then they must not be real.
Finding comfort in finding a feather.. seeing sets of numbers.. hearing
a birds call… feeling like someone of a higher power is watching over
you harms no one. Go ahead and believe as you wish .. it is all our
given right.
Signs are everywhere you just have to ask for them. When asking for a
sign you are making yourself aware of your surroundings.. so what was
there all the while is now visible to you.
Just as that line from one of my favorite songs goes… Only the ones
who believe, ever see what they dream, ever dream what comes true.
So says the raven today… DREAM.. BELIEVE.. HAVE FAITH.. LIVE.. LOVE…
LAUGH and SEE!
Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Stone Soup Opening up and Sharing Emotions
Today lets make our Brew together, remember that story of stone soup?
Lets beging with adding things to our pot, this is a sort of meditation and does take imagination and visualization, you have to live and feel the part of our brew as we share together.
What I'm going to suggest is that simply you say one thing that is bothering you or making you feel down about yourself or life, visualize yourself standing in front of the couldron, feel the heat and see the brightness of the fire glow around the pot and against your body, simply then think of something that would help you or make you feel better and can even be something nice towards someone/or memory to make you feel better then we toss that into the pot as an ingredient. After you toss your Positive good thoughts you will then take a large paddle and stir the brew and as you turn it 3 times you will say your new positive intention and then we move on to the next person until all our good intents are then made into this large good soup together where we heal and share our feelings and friendships.
Ok lets begine, I close my eyes and visualize a huge black cauldron over an amazingly large fire, flames appear soft and wrap it's arms around that pot as it begins to bubble and steam rises as if arms and little hands hold that pot tight for us to add all our good intensions and good ol positive energy full of healing, happiness, friendship and love!
So I walk up to this amazing Pot and I'm going to share:
Next Person Please add your intents to the pot
Cher's Ingredients:
Tired of Arguments that make me feel like I'm invisible with my family so for today only, I will not argue and let these things bother me
I surrender myself and will be the better person and do something that makes me happy today....I think of potatoes LOL because they can change into so many different things as you cook them and I am amazing all all those different ways. I toss my thoughts of good will to myself in the pot and stirr the paddle three times...thank you for listening to my problems today ... Read More... Read More
Blessed Be!

DailyOM: Staying Conscious
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411

DailyOM - Staying Grounded in a Big City or Busy World
Today's DailyOM brought to you by:

Staying Conscious
Staying Grounded in a Big City or Busy World
For a more grounded life, choose not to get caught up in the fast-paced world around you.
1. Live simply and live deliberately. By choosing not to get caught up in the details of this fast-paced world, you are doing your part to slow down. You will discover that you have more time to enjoy being alive.
2. Stay in touch with yourself. Soul searching, meditation, and journaling are just a few of the many activities you can take part in to stay aware and learn as much as you can about your emotions, reactions, likes, dislikes, dreams, and fears. Having a solid sense of self gives you a firm foundation for living in this world.
3. Support or teach others as often as you can. This can help you form connections with people while also giving you an opportunity to make the world a better place.
4. Consciously choose what you will allow into your being. The media bombards us with visions of hate, war, and pain. Be judicious about what you read, watch, and listen to.
5. Acknowledge the beauty that resides around you. Whether you live in a sprawling metropolis or a stereotypical suburb, there are natural and man-made wonders just waiting to be discovered by you.
6. Nurture your ties to your tribe. If you don’t have one, create a community that you can belong to. Modern life can be isolating. When you have a tribe, you have a circle that you are a part of. Its members â€" loved ones, friends, or neighbors - can be a source of support, caring, guidance, and companionship.
7. See the larger picture. Remember the way that you choose to live is not the only way to live. Widen your perspective by exploring other modes of being through research, travel, and discussion.
8. Embrace the challenges that life presents to you, and challenge yourself often. After a time, even the most exciting jobs or lifestyles can seem routine. Never stop assimilating new knowledge about whatever you are doing, and your life will never seem dull.
9. Move your body. In this busy world, it can be easy to live a sedentary life. Movement reacquaints us with our bodies and connects us to the earth in a visceral way. It also restores our vitality.
10. Make time for stillness, silence, and solitude. The world can be noisy, and we are subject to all kinds of noises nearly every waking hour. We are also often “on the go†and unable to relax. Being alone in a peaceful place and making time for quiet can help you stay in touch with yourself.

Fw: About Paganism / Wiccan: Special Edition: Lammas & Imbolc Blessi

From Patti Wigington, your Guide to Paganism / Wiccan
Honor the soul of the harvest.
Image © Getty Images
Lammas is the first of the harvest festivals, and if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, it's coming up on August 1. This is one of modern Paganism's Sabbats that has its roots in agricultural societies, and a time to celebrate the upcoming fall harvest. It's the time of year when the first grains are threshed, bread is baked, and people begin storing up for the coming winter months. In some traditions, it's also a season to honor Lugh, the craftsman god.
Meanwhile, if you're one of our Southern Hemisphere readers, you're probably preparing for Imbolc, which honors the returning sun as spring looms around the corner. In many traditions, it's a time to honor the goddess Brighid as well. Whichever one you're celebrating, may you and your family have a joyful and blessed Sabbat!

Lammas Rituals and Ceremonies
The fields are full of grain, and the harvest is approaching. Take a moment to relax in the heat, and reflect on the upcoming abundance of the fall months. At Lammas, sometimes called Lughnasadh, it's time to begin reaping what we have sown throughout the past few months, and recognize that the bright summer days will soon come to an end. Celebrate with rituals and ceremonies to honor the harvest:
* Decorate Your Lammas Altar
* Lammas Harvest Ritual
* Ritual to Honor Lugh
* Bread Sacrifice Ceremony
