Today’s Tarot: Strength

Greetings,

When we are challenged – pushed in the corner, that is when we realize the power of our inner strength. Some may breakdown, some may feel helpless and in the despair of the moment, when all is lost we realize the ultimate truth, “We must help ourselves.” This sole epiphany can break the strongest mental and physical chains we subject ourselves to. Truly, one can only understand or feel what you are going through but to actually know what it will take to overcome, that knowledge resides in you.

Today, enhance your inner strength as you summon the courage and determination to face all that has been holding you back, challenges and obstacles. You must prep your psyche as you search for the fine balance of perseverance and exhaustion. You will notice, you feel confident, strong, brave, understanding and aware of he cause and effect of the actions you plan to administer. You are not stepping back when you know its time to move on – Forward.

You understand the gentle fabric of how kindness and patience on a given matter weaves stronger success than any impulsive attempt to break others as you charge ahead. Ahead we must go, over come we must all that stands in our way – Such is Life. However, the path is walked with your head held high in confidence, inner-strength and love. Do not allow negative emotions to power you – Today is the day of discovering your inner-strength and finding the balance between the yin and yang. Allow the divine in you to overturn the inner-child, as one can only be deemed strong when they have the power in them to overturn their primal instincts through higher conscious/spiritual awareness.

Advice: Allow your words to be kind yet straightforward, touch to be gentle yet firm and most importantly allow your actions to be focused and void of external influences. You know what must be done to move on – Do It. Be Strong. Persevere.

Soul Food: The Beauty of Darkness

In Darkness Illuminates the Brightest of Light

The beauty of life is in the strength we possess to wade through the dark times. We curse at it’s arrival and pray for its leave. Yet, we hardly appreciate its presence, the lessons it teaches us, the truth it shows us and its ability to inspire our realization of the delicacy of happiness.

I must say if we never realize what it means to feel hurt, betrayed, loss, exposed, taken advantage of or even depressed; how are we ever going to find bliss in love, care, hope, support, success, and happiness. It is odd to think we deserve to go through hardship, only for life to teach us how to be grateful for the little things that put a smile on our face. I guess, life’s mysterious ways are not taught by parents, peers or school but by our daily encounters that are so perfectly played out. Sometimes, our mind begs us to call it destiny’s web of events. 

Since we learn so much from sorting through chaotic turmoils, most of our lives are filled with ever changing ratios of happiness and sadness. I can not help but wonder, why is it necessary? 

The answer lies in learning the ability to tell the difference between good and bad, and guide our future choices towards harmony. Harmony is the state of mind, the aura we emit despite the hardship life throws at us. Harmony is the light we learn to live in, when times are dark. Darkness is the only key to unlocking our inner strength to fight for happiness. 

Let me tell you, I appreciate the little things in life. I appreciate the gift of the present and I am always grateful for the opportunities and people in my life, who have given me so much to live for. But, with happiness and harmony comes the inevitable fear of uncertainty because you know its not over yet. Life has so much more to offer and you know not everything is going to be rosy. What I personally fear the most, is losing what means the most to me. Yes, dark times have taught me how to recognize reality and be thankful for the love I have in my life but I can not deny the fear it has installed in me. Who knows what I have to lose, to learn my next lesson.

Love,

PariAngel

Soul Food: Gayatri Mantra – A step towards enlightenment

The Gayatri Mantra (chant) is the most versatile rhythm that has withstood time. This mantra has been passed down over centuries and is the source of all knowledge. This chant cleanses your aura, enriches your inner light and allows your mind the ability to welcome the truth about our being and the universe.

The Veda’s (Vedic books of ancient knowledge) has held sacred the gayatri mantra for its power to enlighten us in becoming seers of truth and cognize the universe – its divine existence of bliss at the heart of samsaric chaos.

The Mantra

The universe as a whole is a collective essence and in that sense, when you chant the Gayatri Mantra while meditating, you tap into the collective energy that has been accumulated over time. When you chant the verse, you contribute to the powerful vibrations and become a receiver of positive energy. The words of the mantra showers upon you its blessings and ultimately your mind illuminates with wisdom. This wisdom helps you break through the earthly chains and awakens your mind to the understanding of the spiritual world around you.

Aum/OM the ultimate vibration that attunes you to the universe, helps your mind and body open up to resonance. Once, you are welcoming, the mantra will cleanse your mind and body from all the materialistic stress that has your free spirit chained down. After your spirit is free, it lives in the ultimate “present” spiritually, you start understanding the design of the universe, your purpose in life, the meaning of your existence and where it falls on the vast spectrum of the universe.

This does not happen over night, It is advised to chant the mantra 108 times a day for 40 days. If you are short on time, chant it at dawn, dusk and night to maintain the flow of past, present, future or in other words the birth, being and death. Accommodate this mantra in your spiritual journey, generations of positive energy projected through its vibrations helps you grow spiritually. Hindu priests use this mantra to banish mental  blocks and obstacles from their life’s journey. Most importantly, the vibrations cleanses all our body chakras and aligns them to the original balance of the universe.

There are many books and articles on the Gayatri Mantra that may help you gain a better understanding of its origin and its power.

Personal Advice: I personally find the mantra a beautiful guide, it uplifts my spirit, cleanses my mind and brings peace. I love to meditate on it and thought you might be interested in it too.

Soul Food: Contemplation at a Cross-road

When you are standing at a cross-road in life, and there is no one at sight to offer you a little bit of direction, where do you turn?

Life isn’t a linear path, though we wish it was. Everything would be easier; the past, present and future would be predictable to an extent, and change would in our hands. Unfortunately, it isn’t so. The stairs are always moving and you never know which door it takes you to. There is no guarantee on anything, and the inevitable change pulls you with its course just makes things worse. 

Its not easy for us to cope with sudden change, its not easy for us to choose a path when we are clueless where these roads take us. So my question, when you are all alone and contemplating an answer to choose, a path to pick, a door to open, who do you turn to?

I feel we are forced to find the answers within us, left to trust our instincts, reasoning and logic. Can we actually trust ourselves, have we been able to make the best choices for ourselves so far, do we even know what we truly desire and is our desire a mere ploy of our imagination or a path to enlightenment? Can we trust our own judgement?

A judgement must be made, so the chances are we have to risk it. There is no certain answer – there never has been. Guidance has only offered wisdom, not a sense of security. You have never been secure, every step has always been a risk – A risk towards the unknown.

Today’s Tarot: NINE OF STAVES

The month of August has its ways of tapping into your raw solar energy (your core) that drives your mind and body beyond limits. The sun pushes you, sometimes even overworks you to achieve what you dream of and fight with pride for what you believe in. Having this in mind, lets study today’s tarot – The Reversed Nine of Staves.  When a Reversed Nine of Staves presents its-self, it sends you the message not to give up – you are right at the finish point. This card indicates that you will feel constricted by your own beliefs, the walls you have set to protect you has now locked you in a mental state where it is hard for you to see beyond your own stubborn assumptions. You are troubled by unresolved issues, may be issues from that past that have surfaced up and the pain you have dealt with has turned you into a rock. The fear of not being able succeed in the fight has you worried. You may not have the support (financial, social or even the time) required to win. This has you avoiding the responsibility/ the stand you have held for so long. You feel that things are out of your control, taking on the world will overburden you. If someone confronts you today about the situation at hand, you might actually lose it. Specially, when you are not in the mood to deal or even negotiate matters, you might even hiss back at them for trying to help you with new perspectives/ideas to change your mind. It may also be that circumstances around you have changed, but in your mind you have incomplete business to finish. You are not moving until you see the end of things, however the battle ended a long time ago. Yet, you still hang on to the scars. You are tired of the fight, you are exhausted by the responsibilities and you wish to abandon your stand but the paradox is – Your mind is dead set on your beliefs. If you find it hard to accept inevitable change that has had you standing alone- fighting a lost battle, you are more likely to have a bad day today. 

 

Advice: I know its hard to let your guard down and let others be right. But sacrifice your pride today, no point in maintaining your stand when you know its not going to lead you anywhere. Internally, you wish to run away from all those feelings, events, circumstances that has your mind exhausted from fighting for yourself. Accept the changes but do not give up your strength. Fight for your dream but don’t constrain your mind to your personal set of ideologies – It may restrict you from acknowledging the “Truth”.

Today’s Tarot: PRINCESS OF SWORDS

The most important message this card sends out to us when it is reversed; is that we should be aware of the mishaps that may happen due to miss-communication. Whether it is because the way you are presenting yourself, your forgetful memory or someone is in the mood to toy with you, you must be aware.

Since, today is a day is misunderstandings, be aware of it effecting you at work, financially and in relationships. For example, double-check the amount you sign, listen carefully before addressing a subject and in relationships try not to get into too much trouble because of the way you said or forgotten something important.

Advice: You might also be doing a bit too much talking and less acting, but when matters arise please do not rush into it – it may not be productive with all the mix-ups going around. Your approach to a situation may seem innocent but there is a tendency for others to perceive it annoying – Consciously present yourself. A good tip for today is to take notes of everything that requires your attention. This will help you clearly communicate with yourself and others.

Soul Food: A little wandering of the wondering mind.

Now and then, usually when ever I find little pockets of time, I wonder about the life I create for myself.  Lately, I have been wondering about what life offers most of us, all of its ups and downs in a great sense of ultimate purpose. Most of the time, life feels like a busy New York lane, jammed up with yellow and red lights. There is always a sense of caution, I guess you never know when you might have to stop. We wouldn’t want to fall face flat into the unknown now would we? Who knows what might happen if we actually crossed the red light – took the step beyond all those years of conforming to societal norms. Just imagining freeing ourselves from these karmic chains, has my insides tingle. How nice would it be living in a world where innocence governs our heart and actions. 

 

I feel we create chaos and then try to solve them, where has our ancestral wisdom gone? Is it lost in transition?

Very rarely I read a palm of a person who is living their dream, and its almost impossible to find a person whose astrological starts are aligned in harmony with one another. Makes me wonder about all the struggles we are born to face, no wonder we grow through the battles we fight.
