moving forward

Your Spiritual Forecast for Nov. 2-8

The chains have fallen away and we are finally free to move forward all on our own. No longer needing to be pushed into change by the Universe. The Universe now serves us by removing obstacles and clearing the way so that we move forward in our own way. Filled with a sense of empowerment and freedom… our dreams are within reach!

On a Personal Note – My Journey of Healing

Today I talk about my own personal journey of healing. I talk about who I am and some of the things I have realized within myself. I talk about the struggles, the obstacles and about picking myself up when I thought I couldn’t take another step. I mention some of the things i have discovered hidden within me and how hard this journey has been but also how amazingly wonderful too.

Releasing the Chains that Are Holding You Back!

Today I talk about what holds us back, what has us chained down and releasing those things that bind us and keep us from moving forward on our path. I talk about this SHIFT that we are all experiencing and what to expect. What it’s all about and how to make it through.

What’s Keeping Us From Moving Forward Right Now???

So many seem to be going through extremely similar things right now. It seems there is a large “batch” of people who are being moved along the same timeline.. going through the same things in different ways. It feels like we have come out of the storm but are being held in a holding line for the next big phase life has waiting for us. Tonight I try and describe my own feelings about this moment in time and what’s coming.

Living in the Lie We Tell Ourselves

Good news! Life isn’t as hard or complicated as we tell ourselves it is. Life is hard and is complicated but we tell ourselves, for the most part, that it is much harder and complicated than it truly is. We have to stop telling ourselves these lies. We have to get out of our own way!

Spirit Message – Change Your Mindset – Change Your World

If we continue telling ourselves that we can’t and we don’t know how, we hold ourselves back and we never realize our dreams and ambitions. We have to believe we can, believe we can do it and believe we can figure it out and walk in the direction of learning, understanding and accomplishing instead of the direction of giving ourselves permission to fail.

Don’t Stop Now!!!

Remember just a short time ago during the New moon when you had all this energy and hopes for your dreams coming true? Well you need to tap back into that energy and keep moving forward. Spirit shows me everyone starting to slow down, but encourages us all to keep moving forward. It may feel like you aren’t going anywhere at the moment but all the small things you are doing now will add up to something big after the next full moon which is less than a week away!

Making Excuses & Holding Yourself Back

I don’t know how…. Oh how I hate to hear those words in today’s world with all the information available to you at your finger tips. When you say these words, you are giving yourself permission to stay right where you are. If you truly want to learn something, then you’ll find a way. If you truly want to move forward, you will. Excuses are just permission to not grow, not change, not move forward and to not be your best.

Being on the Right Side of the Penny

Today I speak about where I feel we are at the moment. For a long time, many of us have been doing a lot of work but feeling like we were going no where. It has felt like a constant struggle for us to move forward, no matter how much we have tried. So, I give you a fun analogy about being on the wrong side of a lucky penny. Enjoy!

Surviving Life Changes

Change is hard to deal with.. we become uprooted from our comfort zone and placed in unfamiliar territory. In this video I talk about just that and how I have dealt with change and how I see it now after the events.

Manifesting the Dream

Searching for a blog topic today… I looked back at things I have written in the past. I quickly realized.. I don’t live there anymore, why am I even looking there? So, I spoke about what is in my heart right now and what I plan to do about it. Enjoy!

Personal Breakthroughs

Those ah ha moments in our life where we see more clearly patterns in our past. Trace your own timeline back and look at all the things that went wrong, why and how they went wrong.. take a look at those events with a more clear vision and perspective. The patterns are there.. they may be hidden but when you can manage to “see” them differently… the patterns reveal themselves. When we have found that moment … that thing that was once hidden from us, that is when we are then allowed to heal and to grow and to move forward.

Many Blessings,

What’s Stopping You?

What’s stopping you from moving forward? 
Are you feeling stuck? Are you afraid? Are you waiting for something to happen?

Imagine for a moment that you aren’t stuck, you’re not afraid and something has happened… Now what?

What’s stopping you?

New Beginnings & Awakening

insight6-25-13X – Small Medicine Wheel – New Beginning

You are now entering a new phase of your life. This phase can be emotional, spiritual or physical. The old painlessly falls away, making room for new. Allow your intuition to guide you. Sense your guides as they lead you down your path and onto this next leg of your journey. Our deepest knowing needs no words, it is simply understood within. You know what to do… keep moving forward.

XX – Spirit Guide – Awakening

The mystery is always in us and all around us, yet most choose to ignore it. So many sleep right through their lives and wonder where their unhappiness comes from. Like fish in the sea asking for water…. we “think” we are lost but are where we need to be. Everything we need, we already have within us.  We ask for guidance but forget to listen! You want to be a  part of something more? You ALREADY ARE!

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Feeling Stagnant

stagnantDoes it seem like nothing works, nothing is going as planned or hoped? Do you feel stuck with no idea how to get moving again?

Your energy may be blocked by tension…  You have to let go of old burdensome ideas and behaviors and allow your energy to flow freely through you. These old ideas and behaviors are keeping you from much needed growth and disable you from moving forward.

Find something to help you release the tension in your life. For each it will be something unique to you that may help. A walk in nature, some time away, a fun vacation, a hobby, a good book, etc. Whatever it may be.. find it and do it.. you will feel yourself lightening up and your energy will soon become restored.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Making Progress

click to enlarge

Late last night as I was getting ready for bed when this thought came to mind: Progress is not measured by money made or by title given but by feeling good about the path you walk each day.

We cannot measure our progress or success  merely by a bank balance or by a title inscribed on a name tag or door plate. When you lay your head down at night… do you feel good about the life you lived that very day? If that answer is yes then give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done and continue that journey. If the answer is no… well then.. there is always tomorrow. Let go of what went wrong and make it right the next chance you get.

We cannot dwell in the past, we can only focus on the road before us and make changes as we move forward. Progress is measured step by step.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Daily Insight – YOU DESERVE IT!

reading 3-13-13

Son of Earth  – It’s ok to be proud of yourself for your accomplishments … the size of the endeavor doesn’t matter. It’s time to appreciate yourself and the work you have done, the miles you have walked, the storms you have weathered, the harvests that you have gathered, and the seeds that you have planted and tended.

Six of Air – Clarity  – The more you understand and know yourself … the clearer your insights. Get to know your own inner truths. When the battle inside you stops, harmony and wisdom prevail. Knowing yourself gives you inner peace, security and trust.

Five of Earth – Insecurity – Stop abusing yourself! Look at yourself with love and understanding… there is no need to be so harsh with yourself. Where does this negative thinking come from? It’s not needed in your life. Thinking poorly of yourself slows your growth and holds you in a miserable loop of negativity. Stop it! Your are worth love and kindness. Treat yourself how you treat others. Stop beating yourself up. Inject positive thinking into yourself and allow yourself some happiness…. some love and kindness. YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

At a Stand Still

guardian angel 2You know that feeling where you are dangling around … not moving forward.. not moving backward.. just dangling there in one place?

You don’t really feel stuck and yet you kind of do.

It’s a sense that you aren’t suppose to be “doing” at that moment .. it is your time to pause.  It’s as if you are waiting for the clock to tic over to that magical moment when life will suddenly start moving again.

There is work to be done and you know the work… you are not afraid of doing the work … but something has you on hold. Something has you stuck on pause. The thing is, you know it won’t last and that the play button will soon be pressed.

When this feeling comes over you and you find yourself dangling … understand that the universe is lining things up just so … so that everything comes together as it should.

It’s Your Dream

starfish dream catcherWhat is it you dream? Whether it be fluttering thoughts throughout the day that just will not leave you or those night time dreams that embrace you while you slumber… what is it that you dream?

What are you wishes? Your most sacred of desires? What is it that you really want from the inside out? What are your wishes?

What are your desires? What is that feeling burning deep within your soul? What are those thoughts that leave you feeling empty until this desire is fulfilled? What are your desires?

We all have those thoughts of something else inside us. Something we are meant to do… something we are destined to at least try. These thoughts fill our waking and sleeping moments… the question is: are you walking toward those thoughts or are you backing away from them?

Ask yourself this question and then ask yourself why? No matter the answer you give … ask why. Why are you walking toward this ? … Why aren’t you?

Now that you asked yourself these important questions.. I’m sure you now know what to do next.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

I know what it’s like…

Browsing through my memory bank, I found a few things.

People at work ask me all the time,  “How do you know so much?”… I tell them “because I’ve been through so much .. oh and because I’m curious” … they are referring to my knowledge of navigating my way around a computer and its various software and websites … I was referring to everything else!

So what else did I find in my memory banks besides how to find random crap on Google, navigate websites, set up email signatures on webmail sites and the ever so important troubleshooting abilities that allow me to walk my co-workers through  the many road blocks they encounter daily????

I found that I also know:

What’s like to fall and fall hard and what it’s like to get back up again.

I know what it’s like to hurt and how it feels when you can finally laugh again.

I know what it’s like to love with all my heart has to offer and the pain that comes when that love isn’t returned.

I know what it’s like to cry myself to sleep and yet get up the next morning with a new attitude and desire to get past whatever it was that made me so sad.

I know what it’s like to fail and then the joy it brings when I succeed.

I know what it’s like to laugh so much and so hard that you can’t breathe.

I know what it’s like to smile from the inside out.

I know what it’s like when you hit that wall and it feels like you just can’t go any further.

I know know what it’s like once you decide you can get past that wall and the moment you decide to lift your head and just keep moving forward.

I know what it’s like to feel alone.

I know what it’s like to miss someone.

I know what it’s like to want, to need, to hope, to dream, to wish with all that you can.

I know what it’s like to struggle.

I know what it’s like when someone understands and cares.

I know what it’s like to be surprised.

I know what it’s like to be disappointed.

I know what it’s like to fall behind.

I know what it’s like to get ahead.

I know what it’s like to be lost.

I know what it’s like to find yourself.. again and again and again…

I know what it’s like to see your dreams come true.

I know what it’s like realize that I know nothing at all.

I know what it’s like to know love.

I know how it feels when something comes easy.

I know how it feels to be misunderstood.

I know how it feels to be broken.

I know how it feels to be mended.

I know that life is what you make it.

I know that I still have learning to do.

I know what it’s like…….

I could keep going.. but I think you understand where I was going here…

When you think you’re behind in your knowing … browse your own memory banks and I bet you will discover as I did that you do know a thing or two and that the learning, growing and knowing never ends.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Road Block Ahead!

Life will strategically place many road blocks before you as you travel through life…

The question of the day is: Will you allow that road block to stop you or will you find a way around it and continue your journey despite the road block?

It’s a test of how much you want whatever it is that is on the other side of that road block. If you want to continue down that road bad enough… then you will find a way. If it doesn’t matter so much, then you will probably just turn around and head in another direction or like some.. just stop where you are and go no further.

You always have a choice.

I like to approach the road blocks of my life like a game… not meaning I don’t take it seriously .. but more so on the idea and strategy of how I will find my way around the obstacle course.

From early on in my life, I have had people say that I couldn’t do this or that and people who just did not believe in me and my abilities. Others have always wanted to put me in some sort of box … and their thoughts were that I couldn’t or shouldn’t do anything outside their little boxes.

I took that as a challenge and pushed myself to do more, learn more and become more. I do this for myself .. not for others. It makes me feel good when I have moved out of my comfort zone and beyond obstacles .. .into a better place.

It doesn’t matter the size of the road block or obstacle that is before you .. what matters is how you approach this blockage and how you manage your life to move past it.

Food for thought…

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Where to Begin…

Okay, so I have been sitting here thinking I really need to post a blog today, but what on Earth will I talk about today?

Feeling that draw to my blog space.. feeling an incredible urge to get some words down, but then not having a clue where to start and what to blog about.

I heard a little voice whisper… “Just Start”  and with that being said I clicked “New Post”.

So here we are .. and now just like magic I have my topic and I am blogging away. What do you mean you have no clue what I’m even blogging about???

It’s all about taking that first step and BEGINNING. Whatever task it is that lies before you .. you have to just begin it! Take that necessary action to start the wheels in motion. Move from thinking about it to actually doing it and all else will simply fall into place.

To dream, think and to plan is great.. but without the physical activity of DOING… you still have NOTHING. It’s just a dream, a plan or a thought.

Just as the Robin can’t learn to fly til it takes that first step out of the nest… we won’t know what we are capable of doing til we take that first step toward our goals.

Get out there and MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

It’s History

IMG_8776What happened yesterday is now in the past… lets work on today and tomorrow.

One of the hardest things to overcome is past events.

It has left it’s mark on us and imprinted in our minds … but the past is history.. it’s not right now.. right here or today. It’s done. It’s gone. It’s HISTORY!

The past is something that cannot be changed no matter how many times we relive it in our minds and no matter how many times we try to reword it or replay it’s many different scenarios that we would have liked to have seen happened.

Live for today and tomorrow.. live right here and now and move forward with what you have. When you live in the past,  you stall your living. Your future is put on hold and you find yourself in limbo. Stuck in the mud of yesterday with a stalled engine and no energy to pull yourself out of that muck!

It’s pointless really … allow yourself to realize this and move forward. Waste no more time on yesterday and instead invest in right now.

It’s time to turn around and look ahead .. march forward with the lessons learned to make right now and the days to come the best that you can.

Many Blessings,
ravensig
