What’s in this newsletter: - After my introductory discussion about the synchronicity of card readings, we have the inspirational quote for the month, a card reading – from the ‘Messages with your Angels’ Oracle cards and the guest article ‘What Is Feng Shui’ Plus ‘Desiderata’ – the philosophy for a serene and happy life, and an article – Enjoy life more by ’staying grounded’.

Hello and welcome to another month with WhollyMetaphysical. We really love it when we get the chance to meet up and talk with some of you personally, and we thoroughly enjoy the conversations that ensue.  We shouldn’t be amazed at the synchronicity of these meetings considering the field we work in. The other day I was talking a fellow member and we got to talking about the newsletter. He was saying that he liked the general content, but he doubted how the card reading related to him personally.

I know a few of you have trouble coming to grips with the concept of a card being chosen by me having an impact or message for you personally. Well, so do I at times! Yet it is incredible how the synchronicity works. Many of us are amazed at how these cards manage to relay just the words we need to hear, at the time we are reading the newsletter. Sometimes it is just one sentence in the whole reading, but that’s all that matters.  Later that day I was talking with a friend who is also a member and she told me that last month just the words “break free” within the content of the card reading carried great meaning for her personally.

She had been sitting on the fence regarding a decision she needed to make about her future and her profession. “The words just shone out at me and cast my decision in the moment” she said. She was deciding between the safety and security of staying with what she knew extremely well, or venturing into a new field where most of what she would be doing would be new and unknown. Her inner being longed for the excitement and adventure of her new direction, but her ego wanted to stay with the safety of the status quo.  “Break free” is what she did the next day and she now loves every minute of it!

Sometimes we see or hear exactly what we need to in the moment, to guide and direct us, at other times we are just be adding to our store of knowledge and wisdom, as I believe there is great wisdom revealed in the words of the card reading.

This is just another way that the Universe speaks to us. If we are really paying attention, symbols, signs and pointers are being placed on our path at all times to guide us and show us the way. It really is just a matter of being alert to their appearance and taking heed!

Inspirational quote for the month:

“Our lack of compassion stems from our inability to see deeply into the nature of things.”

~ Lama Surya Das ~

Card reading:

Once again I sat down and retired into my meditation that precedes my choosing our card. As I had not long finished the piece above, I was contemplating what effect this might have on all of us individually and collectively. An image was forming segment by segment in my mind and soon revealed itself to be the angel on the front of the Doreen Virtue, ‘Messages from your Angels’ oracle set. With this set revealed, I selected a card, but soon found, one was in fact two. This is the second month in a row that has happened. I wonder if there is any significance. ‘Adriana’ and ‘Grace and Antoinette’ were the cards chosen.

‘Adriana’

“I am leading you toward the answer to your prayers. Please listen to and follow the steps I am communicating through your intuition, thoughts and dreams.”

Additional Message: “We have heard your prayers, and we are glad that you asked us to help you. As you may know we can only help you if you request assistance. The way that we angels answer your prayers is by giving you guidance that will lead you to take the steps toward your higher self’s will.

“Notice repetitious thoughts and feelings; or vivid visions, dreams, or auditory messages. These are my loving messages, urging you to take action or make changes. I will make sure you are safe while you follow this Divine guidance. Together we will work to co-create your answered prayer.”

‘Grace and Antoinette’

“To help heal this situation, see the other person’s point of view with compassion.

Additional Message: “This misunderstanding has occurred because of judgments about the other person’s motives and character. To heal the situation, the judgments need to be released. Instead of seeing someone as “good” or “bad,” have compassion, and know  that everyone is doing the best they can. Instead of pitying someone, see that person’s inner strength and Godliness. In that way, you encourage Divine light to be expressed within the other person and yourself.

“You are projecting something from your own shadow side onto the other person. So, this situation is an opportunity for you to clear away an ego issue. Simply affirm: ‘I am willing to release that part of me that is irritated when I think of you.’ We angels are helping to heal this situation miraculously so that everyone will forgive and forget judgments and act responsibly. Compassion is the key.”

What Is Feng Shui – Introduction

Pronounced as Fung Shway, translated as “wind (feng) and water (shui)”, it is the art of balancing & harmonizing the flow of natural energies in our surroundings to create beneficial effects.   For thousands of years we have utilized mystical beliefs to channel and harmonize environmental forces, such as wind & water, to improve our landscape & lives.

It is believed that if we are ideally positioned within the universe, and arrange our environment, we will enhance the balance of nature and its energy lines. This then improves fortunes and happiness; poor Feng Shui is portended imbalance and disaster.

Heaven Luck, Earth Luck and Human Luck

According to feng shui and Chinese traditions, there is a trinity of luck which describes the kind of life and success each one of us has. The trinity of luck is composed by the Heaven Luck, the Earth Luck and the Man Luck, and these three areas cover three main different aspects which should ideally be in balance in order for us to have a happy life.

The Heaven Luck is the luck we are born with. This luck doesn’t depend on us, we cannot do anything to directly change it although feng shui teaches us how to improve it and balance it with the other lucks. The Heaven Luck is the one which affects us the most, it affects about a 30 – 40% of our lives and our happiness.

The Man Luck depends directly on us and our actions. It is what we do, choose and decide. The areas of our lives based on work, education, and the way we manage our relationships and our lives in general determine this aspect and the effect it will have on us. It is said to affect about a 40 – 50% of our lives, which means that half of our success & happiness depends directly on our actions & decisions.

The Earth Luck is what physically influences one’s life and it can be directly improved by applying feng shui guidelines in our surrounding environments. Earth Luck is based on the balance and harmony of our greater surrounds such as mountains, hills, rivers down to our immediate surroundings such as roads, shops and the geopathic stress related to it.  Around 20% is attributed to Earth luck.

A person’s Heaven Luck is determined by his birth date and moment, and can be seen through a Chinese birth chart. Our Earth Luck and Man Luck could be improved through feng shui and maximize that way our Heaven Luck potential.

Ideally, these three lucks should be in harmony with each other as well as each one separately in order for us to have a successful & happy life.

‘Desiderata’ is Latin for “desired things” and is a prose poem written by Max Ehrmann in 1927 and it sets out The Philosophy for a serene and happy life!

It commences – “Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence, and ends with “it is still a beautiful world. Be Cheerful. Strive to be happy.”

I went searching for this piece the other day in order to be reminded of its perception (I used to have it on a poster on the wall of my office years ago) and now you may read the entire poem here. Even if you have read it before it is well worth visit as a reminder of its wisdom.

Enjoy life more by ‘Staying Grounded’.

In order to enjoy life and make the most of our day, it pays to be grounded and centered. When we are grounded we feel stable, secure and present. When we are ungrounded we can feel off-balance, scattered or unreal.

Here is a quick checklist of common signs for being grounded versus ungrounded:

Grounded                           VS                   Ungrounded

Appropriate amount of energy          Too much or too little energy
Able to focus                                          Easily distracted
Feel whole and real                              Feel scattered and unreal
Relaxed and alert                                  Tense, fidgety, off balance
Can easily release                                 Hold onto problems, emotions

In these challenging times, where we have to deal with vast economic, environmental, social and spiritual changes, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with stress, worry, or depression – to feel out of control and ungrounded. But only if we let it; Staying grounded is our safest and most effective strategy for coping with today’s challenges and finding positive solutions.

Here are ten ways of achieving this:

1. If you can, get outside and take a walk in nature. Especially walk barefoot on the grass or upon the earth. A walk on the beach is especially helpful.
2. Imagine that you have roots growing down from your tailbone and from your feet, going deep down into the earth. Sense your close connection to the earth and feel energy rising up through the roots and into your body.
3. Stand barefoot and feel your feet touching the ground. Be aware your body being fully supported on your feet. As you experience the sensation of being in contact with the earth.
4. Take a few deep breaths from deep within your diaphragm, making sure you breathe out fully with each breath.
5. Hug a tree and speak gently to it, sense your aura merging with the aura of the tree. This is a wonderful energy exchange as well as being very grounding.
6. Roll your shoulders slowing forward and then backward, four or five times, while breathing in unison. Notice the tension release as you breathe and move your body.
7. Lie down flat on your back on the floor, or preferably the ground outside, with your arms by your side and allow your body to become limp and heavy as you merge with the floor/ground.
8. Do something physical that you really take pleasure in – perhaps walking, dancing, yoga, swimming or making love.
9. Get out and do something in nature, such as gardening, caring for your pot plants, or talking a wander through the countryside.

10.  Do something with your hands – either a) creative like painting and decorating, or clay modeling, or crafting something from wood, or b) productive, like washing and polishing the car, doing the dishes, or cleaning the furniture.

Being present and connected to the earth will give you great resources of energy, and is beneficial to your physical health. You are more likely to notice energy imbalances that may lead to illness when you are aware of your state of connection or grounding. Taking time to ground yourself keeps your energy flowing in a smooth and balanced way that allows for more enjoyment and lets you to cope much more effectively.

May you be abundant in the riches of life;
Health, Happiness, Love, Success and Prosperity.
