Using The Power of Thought

Using The Power of Thought

Today's practice is all about focus. How do we use our minds in the most practical sense of the word? How do we meditate as if outside ourselves, watching our minds, while not being simply reduced to the rantings of our monkey minds -- the ceaseless inner chatter that actually clogs our intuition with fears and obscures our vision with its limited scope. I believe that we can have both practical and spiritual applications to the way we live our lives. We can dream, meditate, and pray and we can make money, play, and explore creative hobbies. It's all about balancing the two concepts. And I think that's what todays tarot card of the day is communicating to me.

I drew the "Hare" card in reverse from Phillip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm's "The Druid Animal Oracle" deck. Drawn in reverse, the "Hare" card signifies that you are not paying enough attention to your practical life. Essentially, I've had my head in the clouds a bit. I get the message. A little more attention to taking out the trash and doing the dishes and of course the daily financial hustle, while not losing track of my dreams. Message received, loud and clear.
