Cats: Absorbers of Negative Energy

Jennifer Doran December 11, 2023

The Unique Behavior of Cats: Absorbers of Negative Energy

Observe a cat closely, and you’ll witness a demeanor that might seem mysterious to many. Unlike their more outgoing canine counterparts, cats exude a quieter, more contemplative presence. Their interaction seems to extend beyond our visible reality, tapping into a higher level—the astral realm.

Cats possess an intelligence, divinely bestowed, allowing them to navigate this astral plane with wisdom. Have you ever caught your cat fixated on a seemingly empty space, as if perceiving something invisible? Chances are, they are indeed attuned to the constant ebb and flow of energy within the universe.

The Cat as a Living Crystal: Neutralizing Energy

Think of cats as walking crystals, absorbing and transmuting energy. With a notable concentration of quartz in their pineal gland, they possess the ability to cleanse and transform energy—a therapeutic role akin to that of crystals. Much like crystals placed strategically for prolonged periods, cats choose specific spots to rest, often drawn to areas with negative energy. This behavior serves as a natural means of cleansing, and their need for ample sleep replenishes their own energy.

Additionally, a cat’s purr emerges as a powerful tool in neutralizing negative energy. This vibrating and relaxing sound creates a vibrational field capable of breaking and dispersing stagnant energies. Cats, being sensitive beings, emit this harmonic frequency when in harmony, offering a unique form of energetic cleansing.

Embracing the Mystic Aura of Cats

Trust the ancient wisdom that recognized the magical powers of cats. Honor their mysterious nature and consider them not just as pets but as mystical and sacred guardians. Embrace the belief in their seven lives, and in doing so, respect these enchanting creatures for their role in maintaining a harmonious energetic balance within our homes and lives.

The Wheel is turning and it can't slow down

The Wheel of Fortune

Jennifer Doran December 8, 2023

The Wheel of Fortune

Upright Meaning and Interpretation:

The Wheel of Fortune serves as a powerful indicator of luck and destiny, embodying significant change within the Major Arcana. When this card appears upright in your Tarot reading, anticipate substantial shifts on the horizon. While these changes are geared towards your greater good, it’s crucial to recognize that not all transformations are effortless, even when propelling you toward your destiny. The upright Wheel of Fortune signals that the universe is aligning in your favor, propelling you toward your goals. Maximize this opportune time by channeling your intentions toward your true desires. Acknowledge that the universe holds a purpose for you, even if it remains obscured at this juncture. This card also symbolizes the constant cycles of change woven into the fabric of life. Embrace this fluctuating process as an integral part of existence, even during uncomfortable phases. A karmic card, the Wheel of Fortune underscores the importance of kindness on your journey—those you encounter on your ascent may cross your path again during your descent.

Reversed Meaning and Interpretation:

In a broader context, the reversed Wheel of Fortune Tarot card still signifies change, but this change tends to be negative and unwelcome. It serves as a potent indicator of an impending challenging phase, suggesting that the forthcoming transformation may be arduous to navigate. The reversal implies that a once favorable situation has unexpectedly deteriorated, leaving you feeling powerless and at odds with external forces. Despite appearances, the situation is not beyond your control. While external factors may play a role, the current circumstances likely stem from decisions you’ve made. Taking command of your situation and assuming responsibility for your choices becomes paramount for learning from this experience. Despite the difficulties posed by the reversed Wheel of Fortune, it presents a substantial opportunity for acquiring karmic lessons that can pave the way for a brighter future. Embrace this chance, resist the temptation to resist change, and recognize that hardships often yield more profound lessons than periods of good fortune.

Yoga as a Path to the Higher Self:

Paired with complementary transformational content, they present an opportunity to strengthen the connection with the Higher Self and foster inner peace.

The Angelic Virtues

Jennifer Doran December 5, 2023

This week, let’s delve into the realm of The Angelic Virtues, celestial beings with a distinct purpose in maintaining the cosmic order. Functioning as intermediaries between heavenly realms and the lower choirs of angels, The Angelic Virtues embody specific qualities such as grace, humility, and the dispensation of divine blessings.

Notably, The Virtues wield control over the elements, showcasing their influence as spirits of motion. Beyond their role in maintaining cosmic balance, they actively govern natural phenomena like storms and play a crucial part in facilitating miracles. Furthermore, they inspire and guide humans, encouraging the strengthening of faith in God.

Beneath the poetic veil of their extraordinary abilities lies the fundamental role of The Virtue Angels as regulators and overseers. Entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring the proper functioning of the universe and its forces, they align their actions with the divine plan established by God.

While their interventions in the cosmic mechanism are rare, The Virtue Angels primarily function as angels of miracles. Their actions, however, are limited to those that align with natural laws, avoiding modifications reserved solely for the divine realm. While they cannot perform impossible feats like resurrection, they possess the ability to command the elements, bringing about tangible changes such as calming storms or ending droughts through rainfall.

In their celestial appearance, The Virtues don a resplendent bluish dress adorned with a golden belt. A radiant circle of gold envelops their head, with a brilliant star shining prominently above their forehead. True to their name, these angels personify virtue itself—a potent force that transcends the ethereal boundaries of the celestial realm.

Cat Spiritual Significance

Jennifer Doran December 4, 2023

Cat Spiritual Significance:

Cats, with their enigmatic presence, symbolize spirituality, intellect, and independence. The folklore surrounding black cats crossing one’s path suggests a message from the spirit animal, prompting individuals to pay closer attention to their life circumstances.

Historically, cats have been revered for their perceived ability to ward off malevolent spirits. In ancient times, diviners kept them as companions, attributing psychic skills and fortune-telling abilities to these mystical felines. Even today, some maintain the belief that cats can function as contemporary guardian angels or spiritual protectors.

Signs Your Cat Is Your Spirit Animal:

Your Better Half: A cat that embodies qualities like forgiveness, unconditional love, acceptance, and non-judgmental awareness may be considered your better half. These feline companions serve as positive mirrors, reflecting desired personality attributes. They guide and inspire you, much like a wise teacher.
Inspiration and Humility: Cats motivate self-improvement, encouraging you to become the best version of yourself. Their unconditional affection, especially during difficult times, serves as a humbling reminder of the power of love. Cats inspire apologies and reconciliation, emphasizing the importance of genuine connection.
Emotional and Spiritual Healing: Cats fulfill roles akin to psychotherapists, psychiatrists, and antidepressants. Their comforting presence helps alleviate sadness, loneliness, and anger, contributing to reduced blood pressure and improved heart health. Rooted in ancient beliefs as spiritual protectors, cats offer a sense of calm and relaxation.

The Hermit

Jennifer Doran December 1, 2023

The Hermit Tarot card embodies profound key meanings, including spiritual enlightenment, soul searching, self-reflection, introspection, contemplation, inner guidance, and solitude.

Upright Interpretation:

In the upright position, The Hermit suggests a phase of spiritual awakening and self-discovery. You are entering a period marked by soul-searching and deep introspection. This may involve withdrawing from the demands of daily life to delve into the core of your being, seeking a profound understanding of yourself, your life’s direction, and your values. The wisdom of The Hermit encourages you to temporarily detach from the social milieu, allowing you to discover your authentic spiritual self. It may also signify a need for solitude to recover from a challenging situation. The card can indicate a mature, wise individual seeking guidance, perhaps through counseling or self-reflection. This is a time to prioritize your own needs and focus on personal growth.

Reversed Interpretation:

When The Hermit appears reversed, it serves as a gentle warning. It suggests that you might have withdrawn excessively from the world, potentially becoming overly reclusive. While solitude was beneficial at some point, The Hermit reversed encourages you to reconnect with the world and the people around you. Excessive self-reflection can be detrimental, and now is the time to draw a line under past experiences and move forward. It may also imply a hesitation or shyness in social situations, urging you not to fear re-engaging with others. Alternatively, the reversed Hermit warns against avoiding self-reflection due to fear of what you might discover within. It signals a potential fixation on someone or something, or an inflexibility and restriction in your perspectives. Embracing a balanced approach to solitude and social interaction is crucial for your overall well-being.

The Powers

Jennifer Doran November 30, 2023

The Powers, celestial emissaries embodying all lawful authority, both ecclesiastical and civil, constitute the second order of angels within the Choirs of Dominations, Powers, and Virtues. At the pinnacle of this celestial hierarchy, the Dominations oversee the delegation of tasks to be executed by the Virtues and Powers.

Functioning as warrior angels against malevolent spirits, the Powers stand as formidable defenders of the cosmos and humanity, earning the epithet of potentates. Entrusted with one of the most perilous responsibilities, they safeguard the delicate balance between heaven and earth. Positioned at the forefront of celestial warfare, the Powers serve as the primary line of defense, ensuring order and protection against the machinations of Satan. Their vigilant watch extends over the earthly realm, preventing its overthrow, while simultaneously overseeing the equitable distribution of power among humankind—an apt reflection of their name.

The Choir of Powers exercises authoritative direction over the lower celestial choirs, orchestrating the order of creation, as referenced in Mark 13:25, “and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.” Beyond this, they stand sentinel over the celestial byways that connect the two realms. As bearers of conscience and custodians of history, these warrior angels exhibit unwavering loyalty to God.

Distinguished by an intensity of power surpassing that of the Virtues, the Powers command respect even from the Devil himself. The Powers exercise particular vigilance over priests in their ministries. Priests under the guardianship of the Powers wield significant influence over souls, their work proving exceptionally fruitful. Assigned to priests who serve as confessors to devout souls, these angels guide them toward self-awareness and instill a fervent desire for spiritual perfection.

The Tree Pose

Jennifer Doran November 29, 2023

Hi. So did anyone take a minute and try the Mountain Pose last week? This week we have the Tree Pose. Why Yoga? To help quiet the mind, to help bring you into balance so you can hear more than just the noise that surrounds us.

Vrksasana, or the Tree Pose, serves as a powerful metaphor for grounding and reaching, much like the branches of a majestic tree. This pose emphasizes the importance of both pressing down into the Earth for stability and extending upwards for height and strength. The standing leg acts as an anchor, providing a profound sense of rootedness.

As you bring the sole of your opposite foot to your shin or thigh, the challenge to your balance becomes evident. Engage your ankles, legs, and core to maintain stability, and pay attention to the subtle adjustments your body makes to stay balanced.

Beyond the physical benefits of strengthening the legs, glutes, core, and back, Tree Pose contributes to improved posture and alignment, making it particularly beneficial for those who spend extended periods sitting.

What sets this pose apart is its invitation to explore your body’s unique connection. Your experience in Tree Pose may vary from day to day – perhaps your lifted foot is closer to your groin on one occasion and grounded for balance on another. Honoring your body’s needs and respecting its limits are integral aspects of this practice.

To embody the Tree Pose:

Begin in a standing position with feet hip-width apart, distributing weight evenly.
Shift your weight to one leg, engaging the thigh muscles.
Lift the opposite foot, placing the sole against the inner thigh or calf, avoiding contact with the knee.
Maintain balance with a focused gaze and palms pressed together in front of your chest.
If stable, extend your arms overhead, reaching towards the sky.

Benefits include enhanced balance, focus, and concentration. The pose builds strength in the legs, ankles, and core, fostering a profound sense of grounding and stability. Moreover, regular practice cultivates flexibility in the hips and thighs. Embrace the Tree Pose not just as a physical exercise but as a journey into your body’s connection, adapting and honoring its needs each day.

Cat Spirits

Jennifer Doran November 28, 2023

Cats possess a rich tapestry of symbolism, embodying both favorable and unfavorable omens in various cultures. In ancient Egypt, these feline creatures were venerated as divine entities, thought to bestow good fortune upon those who treated them with kindness. Conversely, medieval Europe wove a narrative associating cats with witchcraft, branding them as carriers of misfortune. In the contemporary context, cats are generally perceived as amiable beings, with actions like a cat rubbing against you considered a harbinger of good luck.

Symbolically, the cat represents a blend of grace, intelligence, cunning, and independence. Globally, cultures have long marveled at the agility and stealth of these creatures, coupled with their fiercely independent nature—opting to live life on their own terms. This refusal to be controlled or tamed stands as an intriguing facet of the cat’s symbolism, urging us to embrace autonomy in our own lives.

Furthermore, the cat symbolizes resourcefulness and persistence, illustrating an ability to adapt to any situation and not just survive but thrive. This determination serves as a guiding principle for us to cultivate resilience and face life’s challenges with unwavering resolve.

If the cat is your spirit animal, it signifies profound independence, cleverness, and resourcefulness. Regarded as self-sufficient, you’re known for your affectionate nature and deep connections with loved ones. In your professional journey, you channel your cat-like energy to actively seek opportunities and deftly navigate risks, a valuable skill set when steering through significant career moves.

Embracing the energy of the cat encourages a life marked by curiosity and exploration. Challenges are approached with a spirit of adventure, willingly venturing beyond the comfort zone. Your alignment with cat energy serves as a gentle reminder for self-care, prompting you to carve out moments for relaxation, curling up with a good book, and appreciating the lighter side of life without taking yourself too seriously.
