April 2022 Holy Nights Reflection

April 1, 2022 by Barb Brown Leave a Comment

Horses are a definite theme for April. They were on both of my SoulCollage® cards as well as the card I pulled from the Power Deck. I love that their energy is so strong this month. 


The SoulCollage® card I pulled for April I call "Storm Coming." I am one who anticipates the storm. It lingers all around me. I am weary yet I am ready. I will stay grounded by taking care of myself, setting healthy boundaries, practicing self care, and getting plenty of rest. Rest is not an option but a necessity moving forward. I am stronger and actually accomplish more when I do less and get more rest. Horse energy has my back and reminds me that I am free to choose my reaction to every storm that comes my way. I choose to remain calm in the eye of the storm, at all costs. Horse also tells me that "I can call on my reserves of stamina and strength to get me through this, you're much more powerful than you think, and this situation requires strong warrior energy, balanced with sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Call on horse when you need a boost of strength and endurance to handle the tasks before you. And if horse is your power animal, "your personal freedom is of the highest priority."
(Messages from Animal Spirit Guides by Steven Farmer).

Each night I chose an unfinished card to complete to add to my Holy Night's journey. For this month I made this card I call "Bring on the Rain." Interesting theme for this month, especially in light of dad's death. I am one who is ready for the storm. Bring on the Rain. I welcome the wind and the rain to wash me clean of my past. I am grounded and protected and I trust that all is well and the Universe has my back. Horse reminds me that I am free to choose my response to the storm. I call on horse to help me expand and deepen my spiritual practices. Crow lets me know that I am on the verge of manifesting something I've been working on for quite awhile. I call on crow to guide me through the changes in my life.  (Messages from Animal Spirit Guides by Steven Farmer). 


I also drew a card from each of the two oracle decks I'm using this year. Steven Farmer's Power Animal Oracle Cards and The Power Deck by Lynn Andrews.

"You're being called to take a role of leadership, and it's natural for certain fears and considerations to surface. Rise above the mind-made fears and heed the call. What you have to offer is needed right now. You will be judged, count on it. Do not allow these judgements to rule you. Listen to the voice of your inner spirit and wisdom gathered from your experiences."

Force

"This painting is entitled Windhorses. They are "galloping across the beach of our deepest unconscious symbolizing the the importance of force on our path toward power and enlightenment. The Windhorse is an ancient symbol for the state of buoyant joy just before the apprentice enters the plane of enlightenment. Force lives in your will and comes from your intent. Life is a process of pulling back your bow, aiming your arrow, choosing a target, and shooting. The degree and quality of the force with which you choose your target and shoot determine your power and your success. Force is built through your integrity of purpose, your physical tuning, and your balance of spirit and mind. Follow your innermost passions in life. Empower your will and your strength of force by manifesting your secret dreams."

March 2022 Holy Nights Reflection

March 1, 2022 by Barb Brown Leave a Comment

The SoulCollage® card I pulled for March I call "Explorer Ready for the Adventure." 
Explorer you are ready for this next adventure. You have all you need including our journals from the past to show you lessons learned and all of your growth, an empty journal to document your journey, the key to open any door, and your own compass pointing you to true north. Your true north. Owl reminds you to meditate, take time for reflection, and to sit in silence and darkness each evening to really listen to your wise inner self. The Cougar reminds you that you are now a leader in your family and community. Stay strong, clear, and assertive and move forward with faith and courage. Keep your eyes on your goal.  (Messages from Animal Spirit Guides by Steven Farmer).

Each night I chose an unfinished card to complete to add to my Holy Night's journey. For this month I made this card I call "Color In My World." March is my birthday month. March also brings spring with hopes of longer days, warmer weather, and colorful flowers. I find my spirit is lighter as March nears. I had fun creating this card. Don't forget to bring color into your life whenever you can. Bring music too. Sing and dance and celebrate. There is a magical energy coming. Healing sunshine and warmth to wake you from the sleep of winter. Wake up! It's time to play! Sing happy birthday to me! Celebrate all month long. The message that the horse brings: "you're about to embark on an unexpected adventure and will have to move very quickly once it's initiated. Free yourself from all constricting aspects of your life. You are much more powerful than you think. (Messages from Animal Spirit Guides by Steven Farmer). 

I also drew a card from each of the two oracle decks I'm using this year. Steven Farmer's Power Animal Oracle Cards and The Power Deck by Lynn Andrews.

"Spirit's intent expresses through you easily and fluidly. Your light will shine if you only let it. To follow your spiritual path, your only job is to listen to and then heed spirit's directives, and your life will flow quite easily and naturally. Know that your higher self will only give your straightforward, positive, and encouraging support. Let this ageless wisdom that is your spiritual birthright come through so that you may sine with light and love upon yourself, others, and the world around you."

Intuition

"This painting is entitled Sanctuary and symbolizes the hidden universe within. As above, so below.  Intuition is a process found in introspection and is the intelligence of your body-mind. You feel  what is true with your body-mind rather than know with your mind. Intuition simply sees the truth. With intuition you can feel the source of your being without reasoning it away and being filled with doubt. Doubt destroys your intuition. Find your power always in balance between mind and intuition. Intuition is a receptive power that leads you to your understanding of Mother Earth. The gateway to healing her and bringing magic into your life is intuition."

February 2022 Holy Nights Reflection

February 1, 2022 by Barb Brown Leave a Comment

The SoulCollage® card I pulled for February I call "I Am Stardust." 
I am made of stardust. That's why I feel so drawn to look up into the sky each night I walk outside. I am part of all that is. Under the stars is comforting like being under a handmade quilt, warm and protected. My emotions flow with the moon. I walk on the earth connected to the sky, the moon, the stars, and asteroids. I am small but I am connected to all. Remember to look up when you go out at night. 

Each night I chose an unfinished card to complete to add to my Holy Night's journey. For this month I made this card I call "Into The Forest I Go."

The trail is well marked and the sun lights the way for your journey. There is magic in the forrest and the wind is like music blowing through the trees. You are never alone in the forrest. The animals watch from a distance curious, reminding you to be curious about your journey. The bee's message is to "get organized and get to work on that idea you want to develop. Approach your projects with commitment, diligence, and dedication." Squirrel says to "get ready for coming changes by lightening your load, clearing out the things that no longer serve you." And butterfly is here to tell you to "lighten up and stop taking everything so seriously" because you need to get ready for big changes and transformation. (Messages from Animal Spirit Guides by Steven Farmer).

I also drew a card from each of the two oracle decks I'm using this year. Steven Farmer's Power Animal Oracle Cards and The Power Deck by Lynn Andrews.

"It's important and necessary to use all of the life skills you've learned to not get stuck in any rigid thinking, patterns or behavior, or familiar emotional traps. To get unstuck, walk outdoors, do something physical and mindless to shake things up a bit. Be flexible. There are unlimited possibilities as to what will happen next. You will feel much less stress if you allow those possibilities to unfold. Stop fighting the way things are. Life knows what it's doing. Trust that, and life will be much easier."

Feminine

"The world is bereft of feminine consciousness. To bring Mother Earth back into balance, we must bring back our awareness of her. Language is a barrier between us, but woman has always communed with woman in an unspoken language. Her roots are entwined with the essence of Mother Earth, for she too is feminine. Woman is the Keeper of the Planet and must not let her energy be rerooted by the male systems within woman or man. We are all in need of harmony. Mother Earth has been misunderstood but she is the Universe. She is the womb for all that lives. Feminine energy is the energy that embodies the wisdom you need at this moment."

January 2022 Holy Nights Reflection

January 1, 2022 by Barb Brown Leave a Comment

The SoulCollage® card I pulled for January I call "Time to Get to Work." I made this card with the idea of Superman going into the phone booth a simple man and coming out a superhero. There are times in life where we need to reach deep within to gather courage and strength we never knew we had. Show up "as if." As if you're ready. As if you know what you are doing. As if you really have a plan. Suit up and carry on. You can do this and you are never alone. You have help from the unseen realms, angels, spirit guides, your higher self, God. The time to rise up is now. The time to show up is now. It's show time and go time. You can do this!


Each night I chose an unfinished card to complete to add to my Holy Night's journey. For this month I made this card I call "I Am One With All of Nature." 

I find peace in the field filled with flowers, hummingbirds, and bees. I hear the bird song urging me to keep going on my journey but remember to take the time to rest, play, stop along the way to notice the life all around. Stop and notice. Stop and listen. There are messages here for you. Take the time to seek solitude and answers in nature. Bee reminds you to "approach your projects with commitment and dedication. Take time to appreciate and enjoy the sweetness of life." Bluebird tells you that this is a very rare and precious moment, so open up all your senses and simply enjoy this time. Relax and lighten up. Hawk reminds you to step back so you can get a greater perspective on your situation. (Messages from Animal Spirit Guides by Steven Farmer).

I also drew a card from each of the two oracle decks I'm using this year. Steven Farmer's Power Animal Oracle Cards and The Power Deck by Lynn Andrews.

"Pelican-Let Go of Your Judgements. Each time you judge yourself or others, you immediately create the illusion of separation-from your environment, other human beings, and most critically, from your creator. This feeling of separation is an illusion and creates pain and suffering. Judging others is really a projections of a shadow aspect of yourself. Once you realize this, there is an opportunity for true forgiveness and the illusion of separation vanishes, returning you to a state of love, acceptance, and peacefulness. "

Flow - South/Red

The painting is entitled Flower and Song. "The flower of your being begins to bloom when you move with the flow of life. It's a process of letting go and allowing. Let the waterfall of life work for you. Become one with the river. Let go and relax in the eternal flow. It's much easier to float downstream than to paddle upstream. To go into the flow of energy in the universe, move into the instinctual side of your nature. The universe of stars and planets at the bottom of the waterfall indicates the universe of your inner self. It is through this life on earth, that you can move into sacred flow."
