In a recent reading, I knew I was being heard because she stopped me periodically for clarification: “This is what I heard you say there. Is that accurate, is that what you meant to say?” She knows that most people are unclear in their words because they are unclear in their mind. I hear all the time that after a reading, the client often thinks back and can’t remember anything concrete they’d been told. Just a bunch of impressions that seemed to satisfy at the time but upon reflection did not answer any real questions. So I know I am being heard when I’m asked to define a word or rephrase something for clarification. That goes especially in personal conversations with friends, and that’s a way to avoid misunderstandings. Clarification is the key to communication. And what are all our words to each other if not to bring us closer, to bring us to greater understanding of each other?

A nice energetic reboot in today’s rainfall
It was pouring as I stepped out of the post office this morning. I got drenched to the bone within seconds. I never mind getting wet. It rained off and on all the way home. As I walked in my house, I heard a loud thump and went out back to check the roof. An dead oak branch had fallen. The rain felt good. Since I was already soaked, I stood in the rain for a few minutes just feeling its chill soak into me. I did some yoga breaths to warm the body and it was a real energetic reboot. I now have the softest skin on the planet.
Fun or sleep, hmmmm…
It’s fun to stay up all night goofing off when the shakti is flowing but I could use about 20 hours of sleep in a row… I might get it later today.
Don’t hide your heart but reveal it so that mine might be revealed, and I might accept what I am capable of. Rumi

I seldom take a hint so you hafta tell me outright
Me: “Come run errands with me.” We do post office, Waterman…
He: “Hey, the Dao Japanese Sushi Buffet there is good.”
Me: “I have friends who go there. Let’s go to the market next.”
He: “Okay, Publix? Sushi?” (We buy it there together.)
Me: “No, has to be WalMart right now.”
Leaving WalMart, he: “Sushi?”
Me: “It’s only 7:30pm, I won’t eat til 10pm.”
We drive home. I wake up thinking, omigosh I’ll bet he’d have liked us to stop at Publix to pick up sushi on the way home, but I was so focused on my list of places we were going, he didn’t want to disturb my flow. (No, he just changed his mind.) NEXT TIME, ask or tell me outright and I’ll be game. My bad. I can be oblivious when I’m in work mode. Never hint. I may not be conscious enough in the moment to grok it. Help me practice staying conscious!
Tarot Card of the Day: Hierophant Reversed
Your Card for today. Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up at this exact moment. Not everyone saw this. Not everyone attracted this message onto their monitor. YOU DID. There are no mistakes.
MEANING: When reversed, the Hierophant is still very much about “doing the right thing.” In reversal, however, it indicates a more-than-normal level of confusion about what exactly the right thing is. The answers are within you… if, that is, you have enough info about the situations at hand. This reversal suggests that you may need to dig a little deeper to find out what’s what. Remember that the right thing is what is right for you also. Others may not understand where you are coming from or why you think a certain course of action is the right one. It is not always necessary that your nearest and dearest get it or agree, once you have made a solid decision. Continue reading
Be not the slave of your moods, but their master
Be not the slave of your moods, but their master. But if you are so angry, so depressed and so sore that your spirit cannot find deliverance and peace even in prayer, then quickly go and give some pleasure to someone lowly or sorrowful, or to a guilty or innocent sufferer! Sacrifice yourself, your talent, your time, your rest to another, to one who has to bear a heavier load than you — and your unhappy mood will dissolve into a blessed, contented submission to God.” Abdul’-Baha
You’re getting very, very sleepy
It’s kinda cool when a friend and fellow hypnotist unknowingly uses, on a regular basis, a word that is my trigger word to relax.
Here let me create more work for you
Me: “Come with me to The Waterman and the post office.”
He: “Ok. Park in front and they’ll put it in the car.”
Me: “No, I like to carry them myself.”
He: “I’ll fill these bottles and you go next door to the post office.”
Me: “Ok.” I come back and bottles are in the car.
Me: “You told me to go to the post office!”
