Dear friends,
A happy Sunday and happy 1st Day of May, and for those who celebrate the festival of fire and fertility - Beltane blessings!
“Great Earth Mother!
We give you praise today
and ask for your blessing upon us.
As seeds spring forth
and grass grows green
and winds blow gently
and the rivers flow
and the sun shines down
upon our land,
we offer thanks to you for your blessings
and your gifts of life each Spring.”
Once again, the present energies gently remind us that there is a gift,
a blessing in every seemingly adverse situation. And, once again, we are
assured that we are not alone. Whether we need encouragement, support or
advice, we can always ask for help from those around us. Friends, family or
even an experienced therapist will be happy to help and support us in our times
of need, when things look bleak and hopeless. Some of us will find solace and
support in their belief in a higher power, in their prayers and religion. The
card at the top symbolises beautifully in its images that, although things may
appear dark, there is a glow and light emanating from everything. This card
comes as a reassurance that hope, light and help is coming from everywhere
around us. All we are asked to do is to be open and to receive. We can’t change
what happens in the World, where there are far bigger forces are at work, but
we can change the world around us by adjusting ourselves to the frequency of
love and compassion. A small drop can change the ocean!
Often, the cause of our anguish and pain is caused by our ego, the
constant chatter in our brain. The present energies lovingly encourage us to stop
torturing ourselves with problems and negative thoughts, to simply accept what
is and what we cannot change and to focus on the positive, to surround
ourselves with people who can help us to find our joy for life.
Sometimes, at a certain point in our lives, it will be necessary to change
our direction. Whether it is leaving a job that no longer satisfies us, a
relationship that has run its course, patterns of behaviour that are not
healthy and for our highest good – we are supported and assured that everything
will be okay, and that we can weather any storm. Of course, it also helps to
ask for a little help from Spirit. For example, next time you’re out and about
in nature, sit quietly in a peaceful place, become still and relax your mind
and ask for guidance and advice. You can ask your angels, guides or loved ones in
Spirit and notice what messages come to you. Be patient. The messages can come
through a bird, a butterfly or bumblebee, a feather suddenly appearing from
apparently nowhere, song lyrics that touch your heart, or the proverbial penny
from Heaven … the possibilities are endless.
Although it might not seem that way, but we find ourselves in a time of
profound healing processes. Wounds from broken relationships, people or
traumatic situations, old shame or guilt are now dissolving. A powerful healing
is happening for us right now. Trust and have faith!
The charms also reflect the message of this week’s reading. The angel
and the stag symbolise spiritual enlightenment, protection and guidance. The
feather stands for messages from Spirit. The star gives us faith and hope and
reassurance that we are never alone. The dolphin wants to connect us with our
inner child and encourage us to be playful and joyful in our connection with
the spirit world, our guides and divine helpers. The pawprint encourages us to
trust our intuition and our senses and to follow our instinct. The ship’s
steering wheel reminds us that we all are trying our best to find our way
through the rough seas of life. No-one is exempt; we all must choose a path through
unseen dangers and mighty forces out of our control. Therefore, we are asked to
meet others with compassion and understanding. The snowflake stands for
transformation and new beginnings, the resilience and power of renewal of all
living things.
“I know what it feels like to be completely destroyed, and to build everything once again. It takes courage and resilience. But this is it. You may never get over what happened to you, but you can move on from it. The decision is yours.”

Sending you all so much love,
Mon and Max 💖💝
