WHAT HAPPENED TO WOMAN'S STRENGTH, COURAGE AND WISOM

  In the past month I have had 2 very profounddreams. In these dreams I put my hands inside the mouths of very dangerous animals (a lion in one dream and 2 wild hogs in the other) and allowed them to guide me along a path. In both dreams these animals were my protectors.  They gave me knowledge and comfort. 

  Of course I had to know what this meant. Then something hit me and I remembered the tarot card of the woman and the lion. The reason I felt that I HAD to share this is because the information I found is so relevent to the problems that occur within our relationships. This was a major eye opener for me. I hope it is helpful for you also.

The meaning of the Strength Tarot card is about knowing that you can endure life’s obstacles by drawing upon your inner strength and confidence. You have great stamina and persistence, tempered by an underlying patience and inner calm. You are focused on what you need to do, and you go about it in a way that demonstrates great composure and maturity. The Strength Tarot card also reflects a compassionate approach. You are like the woman in this card who offers love and patience to the ferocious lion in order to be able to tame him. You give others space and you are tolerant of their needs. You are accepting and can easily forgive any imperfections. In doing this, you create a safe and trusting environment where you can then gently influence others. This demonstrates a level of ‘soft’ control, persuading and coaxing others to your way of thinking. The qualities of Strength Tarot card are already in you, waiting to appear once you have mastered all your raw, foundational emotions and when you are ready to move on to the spiritual tasks that lie ahead. Its main lesson is that emotions must be transcended if spiritual wisdom and intuition are to be awakened. Your inner voice is often drowned out by the constant noise of emotion and preoccupation with fear. Only once you have eliminated these raw emotions can you begin to create the silence you need. So conquer your fears, control your impulses, and never lose patience with yourself or what you are doing. Eventually you will see the wisdom of letting go of your lower self. The Strength archetype teaches you that you have the strength to tame the beasts within yourself. Meditating on this card can assist your process of honouring and experiencing the inherent strength that is within your nature. The Strength Tarot card shows a balance of the aspects of you that are human, animal and divine. It may seem impossible but love, kindness and a brave heart can bring them into balance. In a Tarot reading, the appearance of the Strength Tarot card indicates a time when you need to be very conscious of your instinctual urges and reactions, and bring them into balance with the greater good and meaning in life. This is not a time to act out in rage or in hatred but instead to look at the situation from a place of love and compassion. The Strength Tarot card represents a higher level of consciousness that allows you to take responsibility for yourself, so that you can master yourself and your world. The Strength card reminds us that inside each of us is a passionate and instinctual side that, depending on the person, will either burst out frequently or infrequently. If you are one of those people who acts impulsively or irrationally, and who blurts out angry comments or negative things to others, the Strength Tarot card calls on you to try to tame yourself. The woman in this card is calmly subduing the lion by offering peace, love, and warmth. You may need to do the same to prevent yourself from leaping out at others and saying some things you might later regret. In a Tarot reading, Strength offers you the hope of connecting with both your inner and outer strength. It asks you to find the confidence within yourself to present yourself to the world as strong, assertive, and persevering. If you have been self-doubting, the Strength Tarot card gives you the confidence to fight those doubts. Additionally, if you are feeling worn out or stressed, Strength says to you, “Things are going to get better! You are going to find the strength within yourself and within others to keep going!” When Strength appears in a Tarot reading, you can be assured that you have enough endurance to see this task through to its eventual end. If you are pushing too hard, Strength shows the need to withdraw for the moment, and to be patient. Enlightenment will come only when the time is right – it cannot be rushed. With the Strength Tarot card, it is clear that strength and courage will be applied to all your endeavours. Results may be slow in coming but you will hold your own, get a lot accomplished and summon up enough energy to do what it takes to get the job done. One way or another, you will be recognised or rewarded for your efforts.

 




 

 


This is another lovely card from the Legacy of the Divine Tarot. Looking at the imagery, a lovely young woman is surrounded by large cats of prey. She is calm, serene, and in control- the ferocity of the beasts is still present, yet she is in no danger from them. They have gone from being her predators to her protectors.

This card is about strength. It generally doesn't talk about physical strength; instead it talks about discipline, compassion, gentleness, and control. This card refers to being able to harness those dangerous, wild parts of yourself and turn them from things that can be hurtful or dangerous into something that is an asset to you. In some decks, this card is called fortitude- the will and ability to keep moving forward, even though it's difficult or painful.

 


  After reading all of this I came to the comprehension that as women we will always find our greatest strength in our "Feminine Virtues". These are our Divine gifts of compassion, patience, nurturing,etc. It is through these very gifts that we are able to tame the wild and ferocious beasts.

  We know the struggles we have been and are still going through as a people. We've been taught to turn on ourselves and each other. Through programming we have come to be an enemy to our own men. We are no longer loving and compassionate with them. We are smart mouth and short tempered, making them the wild and ferocious beasts that many of them are today. But it is through our "Divine Feminine Virtues (Strength)" that we can reverse this spell and restore him to his rightful throne as our protactors and"King of the Jungle (World).

THE JOYS OF MOTHERHOOD


 
  The ability to nurture and bring forth life is one of the most powerful gifts we've been blessed to experience. When a woman is in tuned with her body and in harmony with the life growing within her, she is transformed into a creative, magical and spiritual representation of ultimate femininity. What is sad is that so many of us have not been able to experience the fullness of this blessed gift even though we have had multiple pregnancies.
 
   Recently I learned that the best way for any woman to experience this level of balance and peace is to learn to protect herself and her baby from the negative influences of the world. While we are pregnant we are even more receptive and thus should be very conscious of what we surround ourselves with. Yet, everyday many of us subject ourselves to things that are anti-spiritual, anti-life, and things that are against our harmony and evolution.
 
**I strongly suggest that you read Queen Jin's Handbook of Pregnancy to get more info on how negative thoughts and energies affect you and your baby.**
 
 
   I am now in the ninth month of my 11th pregnancy and because I have decided not to watch movies, listen to mainstream music, or subject myself to negative people or situations, I have experienced things I was never opened to before. My spirituality and creativity have both gone beyond my own imagination.

  For example: in the beginning of this pregnancy I made a vow to myself that I would not allow my blood pressure to go up this time. Within a week I was blessed with the answers I needed to make that happen and ever since my blood pressure has been 110/78. I was able to finally finish one book and start another. I've written a poem, made my first acrylic painting, and a quilt for the baby.



I've made dream catchers, 

                                                                  
                                   
                                                               wind chimes,




 and Ojo de Dios (God's Eyes) and hung them all from my ceiling. (Wow, did that change the energy of the room!) 
I've rearranged my home, learned to make tincture, mandalas and I've even set up a real craft room.

 With all this creativity and spirituality, I began to wonder what I missed out on with all my other pregnancies. I had to look back and remember what I experienced with each one and see who each child is now. I'm happy I kept journals because it has help me to reflect and see that the things I experienced with each child now shows up in their personalities today. It is truly amazing.   

  Even though this is my eleventh pregnancy I sometimes feel as if it is my first because I am just learning to really share my body, my aura, my very life energy with another entity and do the thing I need to do to make this journey a great one for the both of us. Another thing is that all of this really makes me look forward to meeting yet another ancestor.                                     
   Peace

THE 5 WORST THINGS WOMEN DO TO THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES

This list has been comprised from the observation of my own stupid mistakes, as well as the mistakes of many others. Hopefully, together we can put an end to these ridiculous plagues, and make the world a better place.
Lesson #1........We disrespect ourselves! Through stereotypes and tv programming we usually value ourselves less than others. In our minds, it always seems as if someone has it better than we do. Whether it's their looks, their money, their fame, or their family, many of us find ourselves looking over the fence not even knowing what we're looking at. For all we know, that person may have had to sell their soul to get what they've got! When we envy or idolize others we put them above ourselves. This in turn leads to low self-esteem. Low self-esteem leads to settling for less than what we deserve. Settling is how we disrespect ourselves, i.e. our souls. What we must realize is that we are all here for different purposes. We each have our own Destinies to fulfill. Our own lives and Destinies are just as important as the next person's. To break this pattern of self-degradation, ask yourself… “If I’m always looking across the fence, how will my own grass ever get watered? Will my Destiny ever be fulfilled? It took me a while to break this habit, but I finally decided not to sell myself short anymore. I'd done enough of that, which is how I fell for ....... #2....... We have sex with and babies by men who also disrespect us!
I believe that once one begins to settle for less, a cycle of disgrace and degradation begins. Usually this starts in early childhood when we allow a friend or someone we love to constantly embarrass and/or take advantage of us. After enduring this type of abuse for a while, we usually end up with a boyfriend who cheats, a job we hate, and more so-called friends and ass-ociates who just add more drama. Each of them becomes another weight, weighing us down and making it harder to overcome our low self-esteem and insecurity issues. The Soul can only take so much before it begins to lash out at those closest to us. This is where……. #3........We disrespect our men!
Why are there so many women who truly believe there are no good men out there! What would make a woman lay down and have children by a man then one day decide that she no longer needs him? Well, one thing they don't comprehend is that like attracts like. We attract what we are. If a woman is disrespecting herself, she will pull a man who will also disrespect her. If a woman is seeking enlightenment and a more evolved way of life, that is the kind of man she will attract. We all have problems, that's why we need to find the proper mate. In a real relationship we're supposed to help each other through these problems. We're supposed to help each other grow. Although at times it may seem impossible, eventually through diligence, many of us find our true mate, but because we've allowed ourselves to be disrespected and drug through the mud, we no longer trust. We shut off our ability to give and receive love, and for me, because I fell for #2, I found myself taking all my pain out on the man who truly loves me. I was so afraid of being hurt again that I subconsciously kept preparing myself to be hurt again. I kept my mental boxing gloves on and remained hard and unfeminine. For quite some time I would not allow myself to relax and enjoy love. I know that he, he himself had hurt a woman or two in his past and my behavior could have been his karma, but we can't keep living like that. We're supposed to be a blessing to each other, not a curse. Someone has to stand up and make a change. Sistas, why can't it be us? Well, after I finally comprehended that lesson, I then began to realize that: #4........We don't teach our children!
Why is it that once most of us have changed our lives and moved to higher levels of consciousness, we forget to teach our children so they won't fall into the same traps we did. I experienced this when I first noticed that as one of my daughters was filling out. She was seeking the wrong kind of attention and was getting it. Although I had learned the lessons of chastity and modesty, I had somehow failed to teach it to my daughters. I saw my daughter heading down that very uncomfortable yet familiar road I knew it was time to take action. Just recently I met a woman who dressed very modestly yet the whole time she talked about how her 14 yr. old daughter who wore the tightest jeans and was very sexually active! We sat down and had a long discussion. I explained that men (including our sons) disrespect women because we disrespect ourselves. It's not cute to be called a b*tch and it's not cute to walk around like you're selling yourself, then get mad when you're called on it! As women, we must represent Divine Femininity. When we do, the respect will come automatically! Remember, you must be a lady to be treated like a lady.
Chastity + Modesty = R.E.S.P.E.C.T The next lesson is much more complex, and until we have mastered the first four, it will be difficult to comprehend, let alone overcome: #5.......We ignore the necessity of the matriarch!
We've been raised in a monogamous society where the divorce rate and number of fatherless children is out of control. Everyone complains, yet few try to solve the problem. In ancient cultures it was known that a well balanced family structure consisted of a man and at least two women. The three were united, forming the true trinity. In this modern society the drive to obtain spiritual enlightenment has been overshadowed and almost eradicated by the drive for material gain. In this process, much of the natural order has been lost. Now instead of honorable men taking on the responsibility of protecting and providing for their wives and all their children, many men go around making babies and taking the responsibility of none. In a matriarchal society things like this would be very rare, not the norm. In other words, this way of life is not only beneficial to the immediate family, it is beneficial to the entire planet! Children raised in these types of environments have great discipline and grow up to become pillars of society.
My hopes is that, armed with this information we will be able to transform not only our own way of thinking but also our family's, our peers and maybe even our communities. A change in the structure of our society is so badly needed, I hope we can start to make this change now! Peace and Prosperity

Know Thyself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Know Thyself
These famous words have been carried down for centuries, but no matter how ancient they are, the TRUTH contained within them will never grow old.






Sometimes I amaze myself! Here I am a grown woman, married and raising children thinking "I Know Myself"......... Right......... Wrong. Most of what I thought I knew was not really me. It was mainly a character that had been created by how my parents raised me, my peers, my past experiences, social programming and who knows whatever else. WOW!!!!!!!!!!! So after figuring all that out I had to ask, "Well, how does one get to know theirself?"


I realized then that I needed to REALLY study........ME.


So I:
1. Made a book all about myself. I call it my "Know Thyself Book". It includes my birthchart, the meaning of my names (birth and current), the meaning of my Zodiac sign, the meaning of the week and the exact day I was born. Iy also includes an explaination of my Destiny and my relationship compatabilities with my loved ones. This book I read as often as possible. It is a great way to reflect and learn the truth about self.






2. I made myself a "Destiny Necklace". The beads are all gemstones, each one represents either my
Destiny, my zodiac, or the meaning of my name. I wear it all the time as a reminder of who I am and what I'm here to do.













3. I keep a journal of my dreams. I learned that our dreams is how our subconscious talks to us.The more you listen the more it will talk. Also the more you start to really pay attention the easier it will be for you to comprehend what your subconsious is saying.







4. I pay more attention to my surroundings. The universe sends many messages throughout the day, but most of us are not listening or are ignorant of the signs. I look for any incounters with animals or insects, also any coincidences, or synchronocities. Believe me, they all have a meaning. I've been keeping a journal of these too.








5. This one I find to be the most important of all!!!!! I now talk to and pray to my soul!!!!! We've been taught to praise, uplift and worship everything outside of ourselves (God, celebraties, over-achievers, etc.). What about our own souls? If we are constantly feeding other things and people our souls are starving. UPLIFT YOUR SOUL, and it will reveal its many secrets to you.

 
 
 
I hope that this info will help you along your own path to self mastery.

IN HER EYES


In her eyes



   Just last week, while going about my day,

I passed a woman whom didn’t seem okay.

   I caught her eyes and she caught mine,

so we smiled and spoke, our energies seemed to align.

  The closer we got the more I could see,

there was something about her, that wasn’t quite right to me.

   I couldn’t understand why I needed to know her,

so I initiated a conversation and watched her demeanor.

   She was very polite she was also pretty,

I could tell by her style she was raised in the city.

   Now I’m not the type to pry, but what can I say,

 I could tell she needed help from the moment she said “Hey”.

   As she began to open up, I could easily see her plight.

She was trapped in a box, her soul needed to take flight.   

  This woman and I, we now talk all the time,

the goal for our union is to one day become sublime.

  She shares her secrets and I share my thoughts,

we talked about everything, from birthing to pots.

  When I pass by a mirror I look in and smile,

the new look in her eyes says it’s all been worthwhile.

THE BEST SEX EDUCATION VIDEO EVER


    SEX, is one of the most uncomfortable words for people to say, yet its such a major part of our lives. Although people have sex quite often do they really know what SEX is all about? Do they even have a clue of the psychological and physical effects of exchanging not only body fluids, but also energy with another person? Do they care? After watching these videos I hope they will.


Peace and Blessings
