The Power of Meditation

Read: The Power of Meditation and What I Learned in Taiwan

I know this and I've already blogged a bout it a few times before. However, despite my knowledge about it, there are times when I can't seem to squeeze it in my day. I'd get caught up in my own hectic world only to find out later on that I didn't really accomplish anything meaningful. I'd be thinking that I'll do it soon, that I'll find time to pray and meditate... But hours would turn to days, and days would turn to a week and before I know it, I'd be in a ball of a mess and I'm step away from overfatigue and burnout.

This happened last week. I had so much on my plate that I kept procrastinating. The whole time that I wasn't meditating, I felt so scatter-brained, I haven't really accomplished the things I set out to do and and ended up feeling tired, restless, beaten and quite hopeless. It was a state I've always tried to avoid but that particular week, I failed.

So when I started my Monday, I made sure that I'd set aside some time to meditate. And I'm glad I did. I spent an hour in our zen garden, lighted some tea lights and incense, brought out my tarot cards and other meditation tools. I quieted my mind, prayed to God, my spirit guides and guardian angels and just listened to my inner voice.

That was 15 hours ago. Looking back, I did accomplish a lot. I even got three unexpected blessings and more are coming my way. To think that last week, I was killing myself doing more effort, yet I wasn't getting the results I wanted. Today, when I meditated, I accomplished a lot and received so much reward for something that I didn't even work so hard for. This is another testament to the power of prayer and meditation.

Having said that, I truly promise to make meditation a daily habit, even if it's just for a few minutes. I shouldn't get distracted by the amount of tasks I need to do in a day. I must remember that the more work that needs to get done, the more time I should spend meditating. Past experience and testimonies from other people have proven this endeavor to be effective and I should keep using this as a tool to better myself and my circumstances. Try it for yourself and see how much better your life gets.

Love and light!

The Ten of Wands are Stopping Me!

I was about to do my morning ritual (workout+ watch old DVD movie + play guitar + play drums + videoke + 1st meal of the day + shower then work) when I almost forgot to do a tarot reading. You see, last week, I let go of a VA job that I've been doing for a long time. I kept one part time VA job since I liked my tasks there and then I just went on investing in small ventures and mostly resting. Then at the start of this week, I got offered another VA job which sounded very exciting. I accepted it and since Tuesday, I was doing these 2 VA jobs. Then today, three more offers came in. Knowing myself, I've really been considering doing everything. If Justin Bieber never says never, well I seldom say no to an opportunity. So I replied to these offers and we're now in the process of negotiating further. Then I slept and after eight blissful hours of sleep, I woke up and did this tarot card reading.

When I read tarot cards for myself, I meditate first. I talk to God, to Mama Mary, to all the saints, to my spirit guides and guardian angels. It's like I'm just conversing with them. I tell them about my day, I thank them for all the magnificent blessings they're continuously showering my way, I ask for forgiveness for all my sins... basically I go into this trance-like state and talk to them. Towards the end of every meditation I do, I ask them to give me any message to help me live a better life each and every day so I may better myself and be a source of inspiration and service to other people. I tell them that through the card I'm about to draw, they can tell me their message.

Then I drew Ten of Wands.

Ten of Swords: I drew the card after I quit my job.

I have been thinking about quitting one of my more regular virtual assistant jobs since the start of this year. The flexible schedule, however, kept me from pulling the trigger since I was still enjoying it. Every time I'd do a tarot reading, I'd pick up similar cards that tell me the same thing --- to pursue other things where my heart really is. However, being the kind of person who will do so many things all at the same time, as long as she can do them, I normally won't say no to any opportunity. Then finally, the flexible schedule I was allowed was taken away from me. A part of me was considering going back to regular working hours but it didn't feel quite right. So after drafting two kinds of email replies, I sent the one that says I'm resigning.

Seven of Pentacles

Each day, I set aside a few minutes of my time meditating and doing my daily tarot reading. Most of the time, it happens after I clean the house coz that's when I feel most at ease with my surroundings and my inner self.

For the past two weeks, I' have been in emotional turmoil (I won't anymore disclose the source of my misery) and I turn to God, my tarot cards, my spirit guides and guardian angels for help and guidance. They always tell me positive and great things like no matter what I do I would always be successful. I rarely get cards that tell me otherwise and that have been a source of constant relief.

The Importance of Daily Tarot Reading

I have shared with you some of my knowledge about the card that make up the Tarot cards - Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. Now that you have a bit of knowledge about these things, you can then do a reading. But not yet the complicated kind... we will study that much later on. For now, I will just teach you a simple reading you can do for yourself everyday, to help guide you in your daily life and help make you become a better individual.


No complicated spreads are needed for your daily Tarot card reading. Just you, your full concentration and a card. What I try to do is set aside a time everyday when I can do this in peace. You can choose to do this when you wake up in the morning, or in the middle of the day, or before going to bed. The important thing to note here is that this card is drawn to help guide you with your actions all throughout the day (or the next day in case you choose to do this before sleeping at night).

Dream Interpretation - Seeing Spirits

Do you remember watching that scary Halloween flick entitled "The Eye" where this girl saw a multitude of spirits floating along the highway which meant that a massive accident was about to happen and a lot of people were going to die? Have you ever had that kind of dream? I had that kind of dream today and I was so scared that it woke me up. If you encountered this scenario before during your sleep, Dream Moods has some interpretation I'd like to share with you.
