Earlier last year, an entry I wrote into my blog was published as top informative content at Tarot.com on the subject of manifesting relationships. I wrote another article some time ago that went up at AC. I feel excited about it, and wanted to share this with you.  

This published article highlights ways to make every minute you spend with your advisor count towards something meaningful more effectively.

Check out my recently published content on AC:
How to Make the Most of Your Psychic Reading




Thanks for looking and many blessings for a safe weekend.
I would like to wish you all a very happy 2009. May you enjoy increased abundance, including a wealth of peace and good health. ♥

I have photos of the New Year's table that I set up this evening for the ringing in of 2009. On my side of the family, the tradition is to put money into a jar when it rings midnight. Last year I bought a piggie bank especially for ringing in 2008 and he is with us again in 2009.

Some Photos

The piggie is in the center. He will get stuffed with bills when it rings midnight. Behind the pig is an ornament holder in the shape of the star, which represents self promotion. Hanging from the star is a gold Merkaba.

At the back feet of the pig: on the left a blue bag, and a pink one on the right. These are bags of assorted tumbled stones that I keep under our pillows at night.

At the front feet of the pig are gem spheres: on the left is Ruby Corundum which is my mate's soulstone. On the right is Sugilite which is my soulstone.

Under the nose of the piggie are money bags and miniature cash embellishments.

Here is a photo from the top:



In front of the money bags at the front of the table is a tall generator quartz crystal. There are miniature bottles of stones containing Tiger's Eye, Iolite, Aventurine and Garnet. Closest to the front is a pyramid of Green Aventurine.

To the left and right of the mini bottles are medallions. The one on the left has his totem animal on it and it is made of brass. Mine on the right is green jade and is my medallion and has one of my totem animals on it as well.

On the left and right I fanned out some oracle cards from one of my favorite decks for things that I would like to see prominent in this upcoming year.



On the left representing career path and receiving, cascading from top to bottom are: Beginnings, Abundance, Focus, Action, and Success.

On the right:



Representing relationships and giving, cascading from top to bottom are: Gratitude, Love, Joy, Miracles, and Healing.

I am looking forward to the changes that will be coming and hope for all of us that we will continue to be blessed with greatness. :)

Thank you for looking!

Warm thoughts, hugs and love,

Violet
Stop thinking about what is happening to you; start thinking about what you can make happen.

 Surround yourself with people who have dreams, desire and ambition; they’ll help you push for and realise your own.

There are lots of people who smile, love and help others; find them and they’ll make your world a better place.

Your present won’t always match up to your past but your future can surpass both.

Always use tasteful words. You may have to eat them.

While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.


-- A collection of quotes from various authors




An aura is an electromagnetic field that emits from any living thing. It is comprised of many layers, with each aura layer having its own function or role. An aura is not separate from the physical body but is an extension of it in different composition.

To compare, the characteristics of planet Earth include physical and atmospheric layers. The attributes of each layer are different in likeness, appearance and function; each is an interconnected part incorporating the entity as entirely complete.

One of the most prized gems of wisdom I have acquired over the years came forth from a spiritual mentor and personal friend of mine. It is about the processes of understanding how to love someone, not just freely giving love because we have love to give.

It was after processing this simple bit of information that I began to unlock a very powerful concept for nurturing and supporting the relationships in my life. I believe to this day, that the short simple sentence my guru-friend threw at me to chew on, led me to the most rewarding gifts I have experienced in my life.


"How do you love a cat?" he said to me.  I looked at him with an eyebrow raised and my brain was searching for a suitable answer.

"Is this a trick question?" I wondered to myself. The obvious answer (to me anyway) was, that you just love your cat like any other being with a heart and mind of its own; at minimum, hold it, pet it, talk to it, feed it, send it loving thoughts and energy. Those kinds of things, right?

And then he gave me the eyebrow and asked me to take a stab at some guesses to get the correct answer. In the end I didn't know what it was he was looking for in my response. I've owned and cared for a cat before and the cat seemed to be doing just fine. I was at a complete loss for what I was missing.

After I was pondering for what seemed like forever, he said to me, "The way you love a cat, my dear, is: you love it the way it wants to be loved".


One of the downfalls of many relationships rests precisely on not knowing how to love someone. We assume that we know how to love someone because we have love to give. It is often given freely and unconditionally, with no focus or direction except that we are being loving.

A question we might never think to ask our partners is, "How can I love you?" We assume that we know how to love the person we are with because we simply love them and do what we can. Or we impose our own ideas about love upon them thinking "our way" is what they need, sometimes without regard to what it is that would assist them to feel more fulfilled.

So from here, when it comes to love, set assumptions aside, and take a risk and ask how to love your partner.

Many people have never been asked this question, and may not know the answer for themselves. When I asked my partner the question, I was to listen for two full minutes. Just listening. And my partner was to speak for the entire time giving honest answers about what generates loving feelings for him and makes him feel special.

My partner feels loved when I make a meal that is made just for him. When I bring his plate over I see his eyes light up like Santa Claus is delivering a gift on Christmas morning. He feels loved when I speak to him with a gentle voice. He feels loved when I acknowledge that his ideas are good ideas. For him, if I love him those ways often, he feels warm and fulfilled, and it makes a difference in his spirit. I see him shine.

For me, I feel loved when he gives me compliments. I feel loved when he holds my head in his hands and kisses my forehead. I feel loved when he gives me a card or note that has expressions from the heart.

Knowing this about each other allows us to reciprocate love and generate those important feelings towards each other often and effortlessly. The meal that I cooked for him and makes him feel special, in return allows for me to receive the compliments from him that allow me to feel special and appreciated.

Speaking to him in a gentle voice will often prompt him to hold me close and put my head in his hands and kiss my forehead the way I just adore. And when I acknowledge that his thoughts and ideas are creative and worthwhile, his gratitude and accepting heart has him leaving love notes for me.

When he is in a 'mood', I often ask quietly to myself, "how can I love you?" and the answer comes faster and more effectively with practice of the concept. Some days it may be as simple as letting him be and giving him his space. Other days it may be offering a cup of coffee to him. It allows him to know that I am there for him the way he needs me to be, and without me feeling like there is nothing I can do to help.

The way that this process works is amazing. Working in tandem is the whole point of being in a long term or committed relationship, isn't it? Being partners in life is great. Better yet, being partners in love sets our universe on fire and gives our lives passion.


Not too long after putting my newfound wisdom to work, I was led to a book that elaborates this concept and I would like to share it with you. There are perhaps only three books on my list of many good reads that I will refer to my clients, this being one fo them. For relationships, without a doubt, when I have recommended this book and my clients have put the concepts to work, they have reported back to me with an experience that speaks of tremendous results. The link to the book is located here:

The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate

Your comments are very much welcome. Additionally, if you would like to discuss where your current relationship is going, or ask about when a relationship will be showing up in your life, it would be a pleasure if you allowed me to do your reading for you.

 

Blessings to each of you for enhancing love and fulfillment in your life. May your heart's light shine brightly. Enjoy a beautiful weekend.

Sincerely,

Violet

 

The mystery future relationship that you are looking forward to - When is this person supposed to arrive? The person that will sweep you off of your feet and make your heart flutter, and will have you losing sleep thinking about all of the wonderful things you'd like to share.

No really...when is this person going to show up? Why is it taking so long?

I'd like to propose to those of you who are in good spirits consistently... it's right around the corner. For others experiencing some struggles, it may take a little bit longer.

Do not despair. There is more than enough love in the world for everyone. Including you. Have faith, be open, and please read on...

It's only a matter of time that love will cross your path the way you have dreamed it to be, and quite frankly, it's really a matter of when you want to create it. How is this?

Dear Spirits,

Reflect back at the times in your life when you achieved something you really wanted, and it was so important to you that failure was not an option. Everything; no matter what the struggle, was not as important as achieving what you set out to do.

And you did it. You created it. It was in your hands all along. EXCELLENT WORK!

What the message here is, is that anything you want to achieve is not going to be handed to you. It is up to you to create it. If it is love that you want in your life, there are some things that need to be put into play for the process of magnetizing this perfect person into the material world to begin. Stop dreaming about it. Get clear that this is what you really want and make it happen. How?

If you are focusing on your career, if you are focusing on paying bills, keeping the house clean, taking care of your children or family, and you have little focus or attention towards creating a relationship except hoping that one will just fall out of the sky, the probability that you will succeed to even see a potential relationship if it was staring you in the face, is quite minimal.

If making room for a relationship is what you do in your spare time after everything else during the day, it will remain the minimum priority that you have placed on it. A minimum priority is what you have made it. It is the signal you are sending out to the universe, based on your actions, and based on the results: "It is not my priority". You might call it a priority, but when it's at the bottom of your priority list, you can expect that it will arrive later than sooner.

If you are sitting behind a desk, dreaming, hoping and praying for love to come into your life, is it possible that it might be a bit delayed until you get outdoors to see what potential is out there? If your heart is still aching over a relationship that is gone, you cannot move forward until you let go.

Getting out and making it happen because you want it to happen, because you say so, is the way that it works. Not only for love, but for most anything in life.

What it takes to create a relationship is to make doing it a priority, and to be clear that it is what you want.

Many times when I look into the future for others and let them know when love is on the way, many times if it isn't right away, or if it isn't on their own terms, the response is, "never mind".

While I make no judgements as to the choices that a person makes for their own life, I do want to put a gentle reminder out there, that a case such as this where conditions are placed on a relationship that doesn't exist yet, it sets off some red flags about longevity.

If love has to be on your terms, just what else is this person that you want to love going to have to go through, to feel accepted, loved and feel safe to move forward and create some emotional depth and attachment once there is some chemistry there?

It may sound like a stretch, but hear me; maintaining the attitude that it has to be your way or no way at all, is something that will carry over into the relationship...and it hasn't even started! You think you are ready but love knows no bounds. You're not ready if it has to be your way or the highway, or you'll be dissatisfied.

Do not mistake that I'm saying you shouldn't have what you want. The qualities of a person are important and by all means, be clear about what qualities you are looking for. However, if you are putting limitations on how to love or how someone else can love you, that is a whole different ball of wax.

So how do you do it? How do you give this dream of yours to attract the most perfect person, your perfect attention, and be assured that they will be the right kind of person for you? Let's not magnetize a needy, emotionally unstable, relationship here;

The successful relationship/people magnet does these things:

  • They are their own source of happiness.

Relying on another person to create happiness for you, or expecting that a person will come into your life to make life happy makes you needy. It places unreasonable expectations on another person because what it takes for them to make you happy is conditional.

Be your own source of happiness. It is not until you can create happiness for yourself that you will be able to enhance the happiness of someone else's life genuinely. Why give the person you say you want to love less than the best. Is it being fair?

  • They radiate the best qualities of themselves outward, in-turn magnetizing or bringing out the best in others.

Confidence, self assurance, vitality, giving and acceptance, compassion, patience, clarity --These are qualities that, when you are whole with them and you radiate those feelings within yourself outward consistently, it will attract 'like'.

Operating from the best within you and allowing it to connect with the best that is within someone else, is part of the process of creating and expanding in a direction that has more depth and dimension. When you operate and move through the world as one with doing and being at your very best, this comes back to you in ways that you may have never thought could be...such as attracting the perfect mate.

  • It is a priority to create a foundation for the good expected to come.

Make room for the relationship before it happens. Be prepared and expect the unexpected. Expectant mothers make room for the relationship of their unborn children in too many ways to list, but in the best cases, before that relationship is even bonded, room has been made for it to exist successfully. There is preparation involved.

This means, take care of yourself. Get your own priorities straight. Do things that generate and nuture the relationship with yourself, your esteem, your goals. Set yourself up to win so that when this relationship comes to you, all things are in order, and the love that you want to make a priority remains a priority. Make space for it. The rest is managed.

The other way around, when you are placing priority on your career and other things, and then managing your love life -- that doesn't work, and it isn't fair.

Does this all sound like too much work? That comes with a relationship, too. Working at it... Are you really ready or do you just think you are?

So what do you really want. Really?

The actions speak louder than words, and the measurement of success is based on the results. Take the relationship of your future. You can make it as great as you set it up to be. Decide to take active steps and place priority and focus in this area to put the wheels in motion and you will make it not only wonderful for you, but wonderful and fair for the other person. Do not allow another person to settle for less quality than you would hope for yourself. Be great, shine, and just make it happen!

Entangled minds that roam the earth together-- You meet each other in your dreams. You know what is going on with the other person and they are a distance away. The connection you feel with each other has an energy that is outside of this dimension, and ahead of what this realm is ready for.

A soulmate connection for most, comes with great costs. For many this connection is bittersweet. With so much love and a sense of true communion and unity, it also feels like there is so much weight to bear with it.

He runs. Why?

When I have been contacted to be of assistance to someone trying to find clarity about soulmate issues, a common thread is that he will run. He will create distance. He refuses to commit. If he doesn't run, he finds a way to not go any deeper. It's just too much.

For some, he promised after the divorce, he would find you, but he's with another woman, knowing that you are the partner that would create an incredible life for him. For both of you.

The good souls that I speak to about it want to know why. What the hell is going on?

I wish the answer was simple.

Knowing that this relationship transcends the energy of the earth and moves into a realm that we are just beginning to try and understand, ironically, this is exactly one of the reasons he runs. The energy and its power is foreign.

The nature of a man and male energy is not primarily emotional. While you may share so many different ranges of very deep emotion together, being in that space experiencing such great power is more foreign to him than it is to you. Not understanding something is an open door for things to become unweildy. It can be scary.

The depth of the feelings--the wonderment that all of this energy brings has probably even been so immense for you at times that you have even felt scared. We as women being in practice with "feeling" are usually able to get a handle on our hearts and not let fear tend to take over so much in this area.

For men, the intensity is enough that it drives him insane. As if you both don't already ask each other, "What do we do about us?", for him the love and other reeling emotions are so intense that the blessing of this relationship becomes his personal hell.

All the while you're ready to take the plunge. Ready to dive in and experience all of the greatness and stand in your power together as equals; King and Queen of the realm you've created together. Ready to create and receive the most amazing gifts that God or the Universe could ever have put in your hands and he turns away.

What the real truth is for both parties that makes it so bittersweet, is that we know what fear is, and the number one reason that the relationship may not ever be what you hope, is exactly because the fear is overwhelming, and this is where it becomes complex.

There is fear that the success of the relationship will create too much power than he knows how to handle; Fear that what you will both create on a different level is so far outside of the comfort zone, it may cause hurt to a level that has never been felt before if you fail; Fear that this kind of love isn't deserved or hasn't been truly earned; Fear that for whatever reason the feelings are so expansive and the potential for success surpasses what we can conceive, it's easier to not go there. It's more painful than fun.

It doesn't seem to make sense that one could be overwhelmed with so much love they can believe that your life together would be the best thing for both of you, and not go forward with it.

In terms of what is in "this realm" and how to relate it to "that realm", the best I can do is relate it to that job you may have once dreamed or fantazised of having outside of the country on a whole other continent, and you never took the leap to move there and do it.  Knowing full well it would have earned you incredible success, and that it was entirely possible to do it. All you had to do was go.

As mediocre as that example is, it is the only way I can describe how he fears taking that leap. The "move" requires so much to leave behind and start over with--and the new place being so foreign among other things is just so risky without having any guarantees on an outcome, it creates heavy conflict. It's easier to dream about it and be with it for short periods of time, than to actually live that life moment by moment.

It is no consolation to have it explained away on account of fear. We know that fear is irrational. We know that it is an illusion and a made up story about events that have not yet occured, but that is what the running is all about. Fear runs deep within us and has more control of the things we choose to have or not have in our lives than we give it credit for. But that is what it is. It is a travesty, I know.

And because it is no consolation and you still don't know what to do or say to him that could possibly change things to move in a more favorable direction, I can only offer my blessings to you to for peace of mind and healing of the heart. I will let you know that you are not alone by any means. Many soulmate connections experience these issues. They are very real, and the feelings of heartbreak truly run deep.

What I offer as my best advice to anyone if it makes it easier, is to begin to practice this:  Let it be.

Be with each other expecting nothing but to be together. Enjoy your time. Want nothing more. Continue to grow and expand and share your wisdom with one another. If it is not in the stars for you to be together in this realm or in this lifetime, let it be. Stop wasting time on wanting more. Just be. That is how this love was created. From both of you standing in the light of just being.

The Universe has given you a gift to enjoy. It has given you everything you wanted in terms of feeling loved and letting you know that yes, you do deserve that kind of love. It is offering you the experience. Want nothing more than to just be with what you have. I know that it hurts to want it your way and not have it. I know that there is resentment about it. I know the pangs of wanting to just have him in your arms forever and not ever have to leave.

With gifts --we accept them as gifts and want nothing more if we truly receive them as such. Apply this to any gift you have ever received and have been grateful for, and you will see the connection. Let the gift be a gift. Want nothing more, and just enjoy being with it as often as you can. Be grateful for the experience, because you can apply this to other areas of your life, and yes you can create it again, because you were given the tools with this gift to know how to do it. Don't let fear tell you that you cannot!

Life is now.
Stop waiting for your opportunity to fully live and realize that it is already here.

Perhaps you have always thought that someday you will follow your dreams.
The fact is, someday has now arrived.
Your authentic purpose is calling out to you.
Now is the time to be fulfilling that purpose.
Go now in the direction you've always known you must go.
Allow the unique and beautiful person you are to come fully to life.
Let go of the excuses and rationalizations that keep you mired in disappointment and frustration.
Move quickly forward by continually reminding yourself of why you are doing so.


This is the moment for bold, yet sincere action.
Someday is here, and the richness of life is now yours to experience.

~Ralph Marston

When you feel like the world is against you  -- When you feel like everything is happening to you that is full of negativity and commotion, it's likely and perfectly natural to become filled with anger and resentment. Feeling like the world is against you or out to get you makes for the mind to be uneasy and bring up feelings of stress a great deal of the time.

I believe you have found this message because within it, lies something you need to know, or something you need to hear today. I invite  you to close your eyes, and when you take a deep breath let your breath reach all the way down to your navel. And when you exhale, imagine pushing your breath out and up to the area between your eyes.

Breathe in...and out in a natural and rhythmical way, connecting yourself to the present, and clearing your mind.


I have a message for you. And at this moment, it is especially FOR you. During the times where we struggle with these feelings towards the world or to anything especially unpleasant, we look to friends for encouragement and for support; find a shoulder to cry on, and spend time wanting "tea and sympathy".

The key to making peace at times like these can be easier said than done. It can be difficult to communicate with someone when you feel hurt by them, but making peace is possible. Most of us have the experience that communicating our uneasiness to try and work something out is beneficial to creating harmony and peace of mind. We find a way to make resolve so we can move on with our lives and have comfort.

Here I offer reminders and encouragement about making peace with the day. Feel free to grab a pencil and pen and take notes if you wish. After your visit here, your mind may just flood with different thoughts. Jot them down. For each time that you read this blessing, you may read something you didn't see the first time. You may read something differently than you read it before. What is important is, that each time you read this message, your mind is expanding different ways to put harmony to work for you.

-----------
As we are gentle with our friends and family, be gentle to your own self. Speak words that are kind, that come from love...speak words to yourself that will bring honor to the person you are, just as you would do this to honor another person that you love.

The world...the universe is not against you. In fact, it is the universe that is your best friend. It has been with you every day of your life, at your side every step of the way. If you feel that it is against you, it is of utmost importance to make peace. The Universe will not leave you no matter what you do, or how you feel about it. So I humbly suggest that making peace with it, and making it your solid partner will open up doors in your life that could create results beyond our comprehension.

The universe is your companion. Cry on its shoulder and hold it close. Make peace and be friends again. You can create a relationship with the world around you just as you would with the best of your friends or your family or your mate.

How are we with our friends that makes them our friends? One of those ways is...being considerate. Saying hello. When is the last time you said hello to the day?

As a Reiki Master, I greet the world each morning, just as I would greet my own spouse as he awakens. I speak words of love and kindness and honor the day, becoming aligned with all of the energy around me.

And I do this by looking outside. I appreciate and give love the sunshine. If it is cloudy I admire and give love to the clouds that nourish the earth.  I ponder the songs of the birds as they greet each other and begin to find food for their young to help them thrive and be healthy. I feel the temperature of the air, the speed of the wind, and wonder where it might be going. I connect. I ground. I align with what I am waking up to.

It is important. It's important to be considerate. We have consideration for friends and family. Give consideration to the world you are about to enter and adventure into after getting out of bed. To know what I'm stepping into each and every day that I wake up, is important, because every day is a brand new day. The sun doesn't shine the same way it did yesterday. It may look like the same sun, but we know that it is constantly changing. The birds have the same noise or pitch with thier chirping, but what they are communicating today is new from what it was yesterday. Priorities are different. Just like for you and me. The temperature outside...it's more than degrees of heat or cold. It's the *temper* of the world you're about to walk into.

Connect with where you are at. You are in a world. In a universe. A universe that is always with you, and could probably use your attention. Stop and pay attention. Just as you would to your friends. Stop and give compliments as you would to a friend. The sky looks gorgeous. The streets are especially clean today. The intervals of silence ironically rings especially loud.

To give consideration is only the first step to creating strong foundation in relationships. When you have a strong relationship with the universe and make it your partner, the goodness in everything begins to shine brightly. The world isn't an enemy. It is always at your side ready for your partnership to make things happen. The universe or the world has nothing to punish you for. You are here. And you're with a partner that you just can't shake. Rather than resenting the world or the universe for being a ball and chain, or carrying the weight of it on your shoulders, make it your friend. Nurture it as you would nurture your friendships with communication, love, respect, support, gratitude, and all of a sudden, your new friend will begin to shower you with the most amazing gifts.

Humble blessings from the best in me, with hopes that this message will touch the best that is in you. Shine your light on the world today and put what you have heard to practice. You never know how or to whom it will make a difference to.
