Every once in a while there is an event in our life that we know will change it for ever. Yesterday was such an event. Started the day by taking a long bus ride to Long Beach and then an even longer Metro rail ride to union Station in Los Angeles where I was picked up by two friends and taken to the even which was our monthly Healing Circle. Only this month we had planned to celebrate the season with a smuging ceremony, meditation and tarot party.I had offered to do readings for the group which I did all afternoon and if everyone had as good a time as I did then a great time was had by all.
Tarot readings are a wonderful way to get to know someone. The reader has to be cautious however not to program the one being read into self fulfilling prophecies. Also when reading someone in front of a group the reader must be discreet in what they reveal for there are things that is no one's business but the one being read for.
Actually I prefer one on one readings. They I can reveal and assist the one I am reading for. It has been a while since I have done this many readings all at one time however it reminded me of my mission here which is to assist in the healing of our planet one client at a time. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and it really gave a huge boost in ego and in the confidence of my gifts and abilities.
It shall be interesting to see where this leads me from here although I do believe this is the beginning of something wonderful.
As we believe so it is and so it is.
Giving is so important that many times we forget to receive. Receiving is important in that we give others the opportunity of a blessing and when we refuse a gift we are refusing to allow the other person to receive a blessing.
By giving we also open the channels for receiving our own blessings.
So many times many of us lock down the channels of receiving by refusing to accept gifts when offered by others. What we are doing is closing down the channels Spirit has chosen to send us our blessings and then many times we wind up wondering why Spirit doesn't bless us when all the time we are refusing the blessings by our own actions.
Giving and receiving are just opposite sides of the same coin. To give is to receive. To receive is to give.
To receive a blessing we must be a blessing.
To receive love we must first give love.
What many people do not realize is that the one we must first give to is ourselves prior to ever giving to others. What we are doing to ourselves we are doing for others and what we are doing for others we are doing for ourselves.
