Becoming your Destiny

Words


 

 


Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your DESTINY!

Archangels and Their Associated Crystal Colors

In times of sorrow, anxiety, etc. Is it ever your desire to contact angelic help for answers or divine loving guidance? I've done a little research and have come across the names of 15 archangels and their associated, crystals, stones, etc.

You can use these during meditation practices or you can wear them or carry them with you. These divination tools align with the energy or correspond to a specific archangel that you call upon. For example, you may call upon the Archangel Azrael when you are grieving over the loss of a loved one.

This archangel who's name means, "Whom God helps" is particularly interested in helping counselors who work with the grieving or dying. He can also help guide you in your counseling practice and get into the right schools in this field. But you have to ask... Holding or wearing the crystal, "creamy yellow calcite" is calibrated with Azrael's energy so holding or wearing it may bring additional comfort to you.

Here I provide a list of 15 archangels and the crystals that can be aligned with their auras to help channel their loving energy and revitalize our spirit:

Archangel Raziel-for clairvoyance use clear quartz crystals.
Archangel Raguel-aquamarine crystal.
Archangel Jeremiel-Amethyst crystal.
Archangel Raphael-emeralds and malachite crystals.
Archangel Metatron-watermelon turmuline crystal.
Archangel Sandalphon-turquiose crystal.
Archangel Jophiel-dark pink crystals such as rubellite.
Archangel Uriel-amber crystal.
Archangel Michael-sugalite crystal.
Archangel Haniel-moonstone crystal.
Archangel Gabriel-Crystal stone citrine or precious metal copper.
Archangel Chamuel-Green fluorite crystal.
Archangel Zadkiel-mineral lapis lazuli.
Archangel Azrael-creamy yellow calcite.

God Is Love

Waterfall near Lepena, Slovenia Slovenščina: S...Waterfall near Lepena, Slovenia Slovenščina: Slap, Lepena, Slovenija (Photo credit: Wikipedia)


"All Truth passes thru three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident."  -Arthur Schopenhauer

"Do not give unto God any human pettiness such as vengeance, wrath, or hate. Negativity is man's alone." -S.B.

The second quote slashes deeply into the dogma of any religion that denies this. By putting these labels on our Creator, it diminishes the supreme, omnipotent, all-loving, perfect entity that he is! If we believe God is perfect, all-knowing and all-loving than how can he choose favorites? How can he be vengeful to his own children? Could you? Think people! Things have to make sense!

God made each and everyone of us. We are all sons and daughters of God and his loving light shines upon all of his creations here on earth and elsewhere. When we choose to live a life filled with love and compassion for others,we become aware or more God-like. We are all sparks of the Divine.  When we are conscious of others, our souls rise up to meet God and we become like children because we choose God. This is really what was meant by the chosen people."

"So devote your life, your soul, your very existence to the service of God. For only there will you find meaning in life." -S.B.

More Will Be Revealed...

Meditating in Madison Square Park, Manhattan, ...Meditating in Madison Square Park, Manhattan, New York City (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Some times in life we wonder why some things happen to us so we seek answers from the Divine. We may resort to prayer, meditation, The Bible, divination tools, spiritual or self-help books etc. And yet it seems as if our Lord is sometimes silent. We think, Where is the love, guidance and support that is needed at this time?

I am learning that during times like these, God is saying that I must live through the answers. More will be revealed about our characters by "toughing it out" or going through the motions. After all, isn't that how we learn and grow by experiencing what life has in store for us both the good and the bad in sickness and in health. I believe going through negativity reveals our strength or weakness in character and it gives us the opportunity to have compassion for others and may even help us appreciate the good times more!

So, when you're feeling bummed out, stop and pause for a few and think about someone, a situation or an event in life that made you feel loved or happy. It is during these dark moments of self-pity, that love can light the lamp of our souls. So think positive even if it's just for a few moments it will help to rejuvenate your spirit!

Love Unites Everything

silk light • luz de sedaImage by jesuscm via Flickr

"Through awe we come to LOVE. One who obeys God out of love has undoubtedly attained the highest degree and is sanctity is assured of the hereafter. It should not be believed, however, that to serve God through awe is not to serve at all. On the contrary, such homage is very precious, although the union it establishes between the soul and God is not so lofty. There is only one degree more elevated than that of awe, and that is LOVE. Love contains the mystery of the unity of God. It is to love that links the higher and the lower degrees; it is LOVE that lifts everything to the levels that almost become one." -Author Unknown

Forgive Yourself

Everyone has moments in life when we think, "Why did I do that?" It is at these times when we should pause and take a look at the reason why, not so much the action, but the reason behind it. We need to learn and grow from our erroneous thoughts or misguided ways...

 Become aware of the impact that these shameful moments have on your soul. Consider forgiving yourself, for it is in forgiving that you are healing. Not all of our paths are easy and should be taken into consideration. However, do not under any circumstance blame anyone else or outside source for your mistakes! As long as we are of sound mind, we have a choice in what we do or don't do and how we do it.

It is important to appreciate this journey called, life as trying as it may be... It is the times we feel lost, when we're in that desert period, we may be tested the most. Seek knowledge of self. Like yourself. Be true to who you are. Don't stay stagnant. Just like the seasons, nothing ever stays the same. So why should we?

Much Love To Ya...

Rising Sun


Several years ago, I had a dream where I was looking up at the clouds in the sky on a sunny day. I saw a small white mat. On the mat in bold, capitalized, black letters were the words, YOU ARE RISING LIKE THE MORNING SUN.

I'd like to think I'm a spiritual person. BTW... spirituality is a way of life. Not a religion! I also believe, that we are all capable of receiving "messages from Spirit" if we seek them with a loving heart and an open-mind.

So, thinking back on this dream, I wonder if it was indeed a message from the Divine telling me that since I was seeking God, that my soul was rising... becoming more knowledgeable by reading and gathering information from different sources. Things that make you go hmmmm...

Love and Light,

Daisy

Inspiration or Desperation?

Serenity....

"Let inspiration fill your soul and allow it to motivate you-it's a lot more satisfying than desperation." -JH

I agree! Desperation can make you do irrational things you may regret in the future. But sometimes desperation can be a good thing since it could lead to inspiration!

Let It Flow



"Your gifts are like a rose unfolding.
You cannot force the bloom.
When the rose is opened,
then and only then,
will you feel it, smell it,
and finally touch it." -JH


We must never stop using the gifts that were given to us by our loving creator. It is a waste of talent to do so! Sometimes our gifts are therapeutic and relieve us from the stress of everyday of life. But remember to always use your God-given talents with love... Never force them!


God  Bless,

Talking With Heaven

"If everything is going right and there seems to be no glitches, you are open to spirit and following your guidance. If, on the other hand, nothing seems to be working out, you are not listening to the guides and will end up on the wrong path." -James Van Praagh

Shhh... Listen! Your Soul Wants To Make A Connection



Until people are willing to really listen-then and only then will they truly hear the whispering of the soul.  -John Holland

I'm listening John, LOL! Meditation is great for this purpose. But it's not the only way to make a connection. Sometimes, we just have a gut feeling to do or not to do something, other times we can actually hear an inner voice inside our minds giving us a warning... Other times we may be contemplating a decision in life and may read, hear, or see the same phrases, names, topics, etc that relate to your inquiry! Pay attention! Your soul is trying to communicate with you. If you choose not to listen out of fear or pessimism, you may miss the signs and have a more difficult road ahead...

So give in to love, the love that is waiting to connect with you, the love of self and all humanity. We are never alone even through our darkest moments. Never! Just have an open-heart, an open-mind, and you will surely see the signs.

God Bless,

Daisy

Be Open To Everything

When you are open-minded, you are open to love and that feels good. When you are closed-minded, you are open to negativity and that feels bad. Open yourself up to the spiritual ideas of all people, and listen with an open mind to crazy schemes and ideas that at first seem to be outrageous such as crystals have healing powers, we reincarnate, we have spirit guides... Listen and be curious...

Let go of rigid old school beliefs filled with fear that block your mind from letting new information in. Read, learn! But really read and take what you want from it and leave the rest behind! It is your ego or your need to be right which conditions you to automatically respond to something different or new as bullshit.

Us humans are so much more than we give ourselves credit for... We just have to learn to let go and be open-minded in all circumstances, anyhow, anytime, any place, anywhere. Be open to love. Refuse to have low expectations of yourself and your life. It's yours alone and no one can live it for you!

As Michelangelo said, The greater danger is not that your hopes are too high and you fail to reach them; it's that they're too low and you do.

Love and Light,

Daisy

Dare To Be Different!


Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right.  -Ralph Waldo Emerson

I love this quote because I can relate.  I've always felt different than my peers growing up and had opposing views of who and what God is and what the purpose of life is on this earth. Since I was very young, I felt like I needed to do something for this crazy planet. Especially for animals! Yes! I'm a big time animal lover. But I'm just one person! I can't change the world, but maybe I can send love and comfort to those who seek it! And I believe I am being guided by the love of an unseen hand. God? The Holy Spirit? Angels? Spirit guides?

I always questioned what didn't make sense to me. I didn't and still don't believe something just because someone says, it is so. I seek answers by reading and gathering information from different sources and make up my own mind about what feels right to me. If I feel love or comforted by what I read, then I tend to believe it is true! God is love!

Many people I've met are afraid to think outside the box. This takes courage! Many are afraid of criticism. But this comes with the territory. As Maya Angelou once said, One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest. -Maya Angelou

Many Blessings,

Mind, Body and Soul


Contrary to what you may believe, "We are spiritual beings having a human experience. Not human beings having a spiritual experience!"

This makes sense to me if you believe you are a child of God. I don't know if anyone views God as a human entity. I think it's fair to say, that many of us think God is of spirit form. Therefore, this would mean that we were spirit before we became flesh out of our mother's womb. So... We are spiritual beings having human experiences!

Love, Light and Laughter


I ask you God, our Father in Heaven to infuse me with knowledge, so that I may choose my words carefully sending love, light, and laughter to everyone that crosses my path. I believe everyone I meet has a purpose in my life, something to teach me. With love, guidance and gentle nudging let me learn my lessons. So, that when my soul returns to the Other Side, I will hear these words, "My child you have done well...

Second Chances, Third Chances & More!


My life as I lived it had often seemed  to me like a story that has no beginning and no end. I had the feeling that I was a historical fragment, an excerpt for which the preceding and succeeding text was missing. I  could well imagine that I might have lived in former centuries and there encountered questions I was not yet able to answer; that I had to be be born again because I had not fulfilled the task that was given to me. -Carl Jung

Think people! Think! It is ridiculous to believe  that we reincarnate into animals. There's nothing to be gained or learned from that. Animals are innocent and just want to survive. They are God's most innocent and precious creatures. We only learn for God by incarnating into human bodies and living lives on Earth. I believe our Creator loves us so much that he gives us as many chances we need to get it right! That's the purpose of reincarnation. You screw up so you have to do it again!

Love and Light,

Daily Dose Of Inspiration-Listen & Be Still

Pessimism, Sin, Evil and Lost Souls

Beliefs with roots firmly planted in fear are meant to keep you ignorant. Some of these false beliefs are curses, sin, the Devil, & a jealous God. It's been proven, that only the victim of a curse can give it power. A curse has no power if you don't believe in it. But if you think you are the victim of one, then you will start seeing everything in your path as negative and out to get you. The mind is a powerful tool and plays tricks on you!

The only sin that exists are the sins you place on yourselves through guilt. If you harmed someone without intending too, then apologize and move on. We have too much work to do and lessons to learn than to stay stuck in the past.We are our own worst enemy.

In the language that Jesus spoke (Aramaic) the word sin was meant to misunderstand or miss the mark. Sin and evil were used for archery terms. Whenever the archer shot the target and missed, the scorekeeper would yell, sin! This meant you missed the mark and to try again. The scorekeeper would yell evil where the arrow had fallen. These words have a totally different meaning in this day and age and riddle people with fear. I think the concept of sin and evil and people and being possessed by demons are excuses for human failures. Man-up!! Stop playing victim.

It is when we become aware with our eyes wide open, we realize  the world is a much more beautiful place than we ever imagined. It is with much regret that many people I interact with would rather NOT seek knowledge of self and enjoy the gifts that conscious knowledge bestows on the enlightened ones. People would rather stay fearful and fill their void with outside substances when all that is really needed is love of self, love of God & all of his creations... All of us includes persons of all races, sexual preferences, animals, and Mother Earth.

All we really need is to keep and open mind and a positive attitude. And so what if we're having a bad day or feel lousy. That's life! And all of life is a test. Don't be hard on yourself. When you fall the only way is back up! Just try to learn your lessons as quickly as possible and you will see that life will be more enjoyable with less obstacles along your path.

I understand that some of you may have an incurable illness. But if your heart and mind are in the right place, your soul will be healed maybe not your body... But your soul will be healed. This means that you have faith in God, that when you return to heaven your true home, all will be well in the body too and you will be whole once more!  Everything in life happens for a reason and doesn't necessarily have to do with bad karma.

BTW... people who claim to have seen a ghost that is disfigured means that their soul did not reach heaven. They're stuck on this planet, maybe because they did not accept their death, or feel they are not worthy, lost souls. Poltergeists may be souls that are lost and confused not realizing they are dead, and are trying to get your attention! They need help to make the transition. If you see a loved one who has past that may have been diseased or disfigured in human form, and now looks physically perfect without scars or missing body parts, then this means they are with God on the Other Side.

The difference between a ghost and a spirit is that the ghost is a soul that has not yet ascended to heaven where as a Spirit is whole and perfect and is residing with God and chooses to visit their loved ones once in a while on Earth.

Yes, I know. Alot of what I've written here may be new to you and you're probably scoffing in disbelief. But I urge you to think about these words,

No one knows enough to be a pessimist. -Dr. Wayne Dyer

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. -Albert Einstein
