Day 175 ~ Super Cleaning

Although the supermoon is past us, you can still feel and utilize the powers and effects it leaves in it wake. First off is a cleansing or releasing. This can be of negative energy, people who are not helping you to be of your higher self, or just cleaning around the house or office. It is a reminder to de-clutter and refresh yourself spiritually, mentally, and physically.

So drink a lot of water, clean and release your aura and charkas, and make sure your house is clean because this supermoon will continue to help you!

Day 173 ~ Beyond This Life

Many often wonder what is beyond this life time? There are many that say nothing or darkness, some have said that it is the same earth, just everything is grey and they are stuck here, some say a beautiful white light and a chance to be with our creator. What ever you believe, everyone has pondered the question at one point or another.

So what is the truth? I know I've talked about this before, but why wouldn't we have free will in our after lives as we have for our life on earth? Why can't we stay and watch over our loved ones? Why can't we be with our one creator? Why can't we make our own hell if we truly feel we deserve it?

One thing I am certain about, we are constantly learning lessons. We learn lessons in our lives here on earth and we learn lessons in our after lives as well.

Day 166 ~ Being Apart

It is always harder being apart when you know there is someone you are separated from. We have heard many stories of when kids, siblings, or parents just don't feel complete and they don't know why only to find that they were adopted or that they have a half sister or half brother out there somewhere. Those feelings are real because we will always have some sort of connection to family. We will feel that pull.

Day 156 ~ Finding Yourself

The article I found for today talks about the stresses and anxiety of trying to find your life's purpose. She raises the question, 'what if your life's purpose is to relax and take care of yourself' and I say yes, that is part of it. If your are so stressed out and ridden with anxiety, then you won't be able to find your life purpose. You need to first relax and take care of yourself. Once you do that, then you will be able to figure out what's next.
