Daily Card Reading for March 6th

THE CIRCLE

8

THE ESSENCE:
Unification, interconnectedness, and a sense of continuum is what this card implies. The Circle reminds us we are all One—dancers in a unified continuous inclusive circle. This card reminds us of the cycles of life and the evolving self, ever changing, and always connected: human, Spirit, Nature, the cosmos, all intrinsically connected.

THE INVITATION:
When the Circle appears, it reminds you that you are connected to everything and everyone, including to Spirit. Spirit’s essence beats in your heart and inspires you to co-create your world, knowing that you count, that you have purpose in this world. Imagine even a smile to a stranger can change the course of a life. When the Circle invites you to dance in the sacred steps of life, know that your work, your love, your service brings greater value than you can know. Stay the course; keep dancing, and all will be well.

The farmer may only be planting a seed, but if he opens his eyes he is feeding the whole world.
—Omaha Bee

A traveler journeying through a small village came upon some workers building an impressive structure. “What are you doing?” he asked. The first worker, a young, impatient man, replied in disgust, “I am making three dollars an hour and I’m getting very tired!” The visitor asked another man the same question. “I’m mixing concrete, as you can plainly see,” came the sarcastic reply. Finally, a woman working nearby left her wheelbarrow full of bricks and approached the stranger. “We are building a hospital,” she said with pride. “Now we will be able to care for all the region’s people. Babies will be born here. Lives will be saved.”

The stranger looked at the woman with admiration and spoke directly to her. “I know, for this is my hospital. Only you hold the vision of what it is you are creating.” The wealthy benefactor then put the woman in charge of construction so his hospital would be built by one who truly understood.

Will I see the importance of even the small things I do today?

Meditation for the Day

Fear is the curse of the world. Many are our fears. Fear is everywhere. I must fight fear as I would a plague. I must turn it out of my life. There is no room for fear in the heart in which God dwells. Fear cannot exist where true love is or where faith abides. So I must have no fear. Fear is evil, but “perfect love casteth out all fear.” Fear destroys hope and hope is necessary for all of humanity.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may have no fear. I pray that I may cast all fear out of my life.

Peace

Anxiety is often our first reaction to conflict, problems, or even our own fears. In those moments, detaching and getting peaceful may seem disloyal or apathetic. We think: If I really care, I’ll worry; if this is really important to me, I must stay upset. We convince ourselves that outcomes will be positively affected by the amount of time we spend worrying.

Our best problem-solving resource is peace. Solutions arise easily and naturally out of a peaceful state. Often, fear and anxiety block solutions. Anxiety gives power to the problem, not the solution. It does not help to harbor turmoil. It does not help.

Peace is available if we choose it. In spite of chaos and unsolved problems around us, all is well. Things will work out. We can surround ourselves with the resources of the Universe: water, earth, a sunset, a walk, a prayer, a friend. We can relax and let ourselves feel peace.

Today, I will let go of my need to stay in turmoil. I will cultivate peace and trust that timely solutions and goodness will arise naturally and harmoniously out of the wellspring of peace. I will consciously let go and let God.

No Better Way to Start the Day…

Third Step Prayer God, I give myself to you this day, to build with me and to do with me as You will. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I might better do Your will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them might bear witness to Your power, Your love, and Your way of life. May I do Your will always. — Amen

From the “Big Book” by Bill Wilson

Some mornings, the mind can fill itself with a myriad of thoughts….events of the past day, as well as thoughts about what will transpire in the coming day. And besides a cup or two of coffee, I’ve found this as no better way to start the day:

#30 – TICK TOCK

TICK TOCK

Essential meanings: Timelessness; Divine timing; immeasurable time.

The Oracle’s Message: When humans created time, everything changed and contracted. We have come to look at life in a linear way, imagining that the past is behind us and the future ahead of us. But what if that isn’t true at all? What if everything were happening now, in a glorious timelessness of creativity and beauty, chaos and order? You have all the time in the world to co-create the life you desire, so release your agenda. Let go of your need to form and shape each moment to your expectations, knowing that what is yours will never be withheld from you. Miracles are here right now, and always show up when you need them, right on time.

Relationship message: Love, the fulfillment of desire, and even the body’s reproductive cycles have their own timetable. Some things are preordained and cannot be coerced. Everything has its season, its Divine and appropriate timing, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Remember that you always have enough time for love—to find it, to nurture it, to give and receive it. The clock is eternal and ticks according to your heart’s schedule, in perfect rhythm. Isn’t that wonderful to know? Love is always right on time.

Prosperity message: Your prosperity is co-created by your efforts as they occur in human-made time and the efforts of your most important manifestation partner—Spirit—in a Divine, measureless timetable. So keep doing what you’re doing. Stay positive, and make a commitment to remain in high-vibration thoughts and feelings. If you heed the message of this card, it will seem as if in no time at all, you will align with your highest calling and your highest good, making your dreams come true and come together like magic. So what’s all the fuss about not having enough time? The prosperous life that is yours will never pass you by!

Be Who You Are

When I meet people or get in a new relationship, I start putting all these repressive restrictions on myself. I can’t have my feelings. Can’t have my wants and needs. Can’t have my history. Can’t do the things I want, feel the feelings I’m feeling, or say what I need to say. I turn into this repressed, perfectionistic robot, instead of being who I am: Me.
—Anonymous

Sometimes, our instinctive reaction to being in a new situation is: Don’t be yourself.

Who else can we be? Who else would you want to be? We don’t need to be anyone else.

The greatest gift we can bring to any relationship wherever we go is being who we are.

We may think others won’t like us. We may be afraid that if we just relax and be ourselves, the other person will go away or shame us. We may worry about what the other person will think.

But, when we relax and accept ourselves, people often feel much better being around us than when we are rigid and repressed. We’re fun to be around.

If others don’t appreciate us, do we really want to be around them? Do we need to let the opinions of others control our behavior and us?

Giving ourselves permission to be who we are can have a healing influence on our relationships. The tone relaxes. We relax. The other person relaxes. Then everybody feels a little less shame, because they have learned the truth. Who we are is all we can be, all were meant to be, and it’s enough. It’s fine.

Our opinion of ourselves is truly all that matters. And we can give ourselves all the approval we want and need.

Today, I will relax and be who I am in my relationships. I will do this not in a demeaning or inappropriate way, but in a way that shows I accept myself and value who I am. Help me, God, let go of my fears about being myself.
