St. Expedite, Thank You

My work as a spiritual advisor is one that I believe to be a part of my nature.  Regardless of the path life takes me, my belief in cosmic interaction with all life forms will be paramount.  I work with many spirits and archetypes of many faiths.  One that has been a consistent and important companion along my spiritual walk is St. Expeditus or St. Expedite.  

While some in the catholic church attempted to discredit the beloved as the product of a shipping error, yes that's correct, the saint has dug his heels in and pushed over obsticals for people of all faiths and nationalities.  So you see as I have said before, the church does not have exclusive rights or connections with a strong spirit, the spirits decide with whom they work.  

As the legend goes, at the moment of his conversion, Expedite was visited by a crow, the representation of evil, who told him “Cras!”, which is the literal translation of tomorrow or wait.  Expedite responded, “Hodie!” which is today or now.  Up to this point most traditions agree however while it is most widely held that St. Expedite killed the crow, it is the belief of my tradition that he "converted" the crow as a familiar and assistant.  

Our Beloved St will work on behalf of anyone who has an concret understanding of his nature and approaches him with respect.  At the same time be assured that those who would make light of his goodness would be advised not to do so.  

Thus, St. Expedite defeats procrastination, ensures rapid solutions to problems, and promises an end to delays. He gives strength to the faithful in combating unfair deadlines.

Some also believe that Saint Expedite will speed up the arrival of money in your bank account and he will hasten communication with loved ones.  He is not a fix all, however he is a St. who will provide an extra boost to resolution of open issues.  

Always remember to Thank him publicly and privately.  You may post a picture or place an ad in a local paper thanking him for assistance.  After he aids you it is always good to offer him Pound Cake, yes I said Pound Cake, his favorite is Sara Lee.  

St Expedite I am posting this note in recognition of your assistance with three individuals this week who came to you requesting your strong help.  They have each contacted me stating they have made huge strides this week and know that your strength and sense of spiritual urgency have been the reason for this.  Thank you.

Why Meditate?

Hello Fellow Seekers,

Anyone I have provided an intuitive reading for knows one of my first questions is, Are you meditating?  If I have read for you a second time the question is, How many times a week are you meditating?  It is my own personal, magical mission to encourage everyone I come in contact with to meditate at least one time a day.  Why...I really don't have the space here to discuss all the reasons, physical, mental, spiritual and on and on so I will stick to why it is relative to meditate if you seek spiritual advice.

When you enter into an agreement with an intuitive or other spiritual advisor, you not only agree to listen with your ears, contemplate with your mind and move accordingly, you agree to open a connection of vibratory realness, hmmm "vibratory realness".

This goes for any type of advisor advisee relationship.  This does not mean that you accept everything you are told, quite the opposite, in fact you should mentally question every word.  However if you take the time to meditate, while contemplating the advice or information you are given the advantages are multiple, just a few:

1.  There is a more clear connection each time you meet with the advisor.  This allows for a more complete flow of information and spiritual connection.  You will have a constant flow of energy with your advisor that is less likely to be polluted by outside static.

2.  Your spirit guides will be more attuned to the situations and realities of your discussions and will appear more clear in relation to your next steps.  Meditation is like having a follow up session with your intuitive.  Keeps everyone on the same page as it were. 

3.  There is less likely to be misinterpretation of the advice given.

Now for my advisor friends, please allow me this indulgence to say; if we are not mediating shame on us.  While we can never be 100% on all our advice, we are not the creator and we deal with free will, we owe it to anyone seeking our advice to be as spiritually attuned and connected as we can.  There are a few things in our daily walk that we can have `100% control of, and this is one of those things. What are the benefits to us? I'm glad you asked!

1.  Meditating helps to clear the way for a free flow of triad communication.

2.  Increasing our ability to focus

3.  Places us in a reverent state of mind and makes us more receptive to the spiritual messages we receive.

OK, I know most of us would love to be sitting on a mountain somewhere or on the beach contemplating the universal mysteries, for most of us that is not possible, so how do we balance our meditative walk.  Keep in mind Andrews Axioms in relation to Meditation:

• There is no right or wrong way to meditate.  The fact that you do it is the most important step.  The correct way will be revealed to you in time, the correct way for you! 
• If nothing else closing your eyes for three minutes in contemplation will be a start.  By doing this you activate your Pineal Gland to become receptive to light without the aid of your physical sight.  This gland is the closest physical representation to the spiritual third eye. 
• Complete quite and the proper posture is not essential.  I do believe they are preferable, but you will achieve your most complete meditative return on investment by meditating as you feel most comfortable.  In my mediation groups I tell everyone this...be comfortable. 
• Incorporate words, colors, sounds and aromas into your mediation when able.  

So there, three minutes with your eyes closed, simply that is it if your goal in improved spiritual communication and clarity.  

In my tradition there are multiple meditations for specific requests, I am happy to share these with you if you contact me.  Better yet consider joining me for mediation, email me for times and locations.  These meditation groups are guided and come from a southern folk magic tradition.  Email me with questions.

My you be blessed beyond your wildest dreams!    

Many blessings

Connection with spirit and those around you.

Blessings All,

This morning I just didn't want to get out of bed, it was one of those days.  As I lay there thinking about the day ahead, my mind wandered back to those times I spent with my grandmother on the banks of the Green River.  Every Sunday morning was the same, I would wait until the last minute to get up and get ready for church.  I got my way with almost anything with my grandmother except Church!  It did not matter what I said or what sickness I claimed to be suffering from, and believe me I tried them all, I always ended up on the pew next to her eating Velamint after Velamint praying.....for it to be over.

She always said that not only did we owe attendance to spirit, but we had to attend for the fellowship and communication with our neighbors.  Knowing and seeing what I did regarding her spirit communciation it made little sense to me.  My Grandmother was in continual communication with spirit.  It didn't make sense to me then and to be truthful it didn't much until the last few years.  

A wise book once stated, "Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together".  As my life has changed, the amount of face to face human interaction has changed. I have folks who come to see me daily for consultations and coaching sessions as well as my communication via phone and I would not change that for anything, I love these people. Yet spirit has caused me to pause and take note of the amount of time I have with friends to just sit and chat.

I am very much a community person, I love to communicate with people and simply hear about their day.  I care about my neighbors (universal) and the details of their lives.  For the last week or so spirit has continually brought to the forefront the issue of human connection. Many of my clients lack this face to face companionship. While I have been in situations where I had rather be alone than spend time with people who do not click with me and if this is you I relate, however even the opportunity to learn from those folks is holy ground.

I want to encourage you to make an effort to meet with or meet someone new every week. Always, even with friends, shield yourself with light and peace then as you meet them say to yourself, "I dedicate this to God"(you may use spirit, universe or whatever word you like). Listen to them as you would a wise ascended master or guide, without judgment. When you leave the meeting say a prayer or meditation for that person.  It can be as simple as the one my grandmother gave me to say after any consultation or session:

“Spirit, I thank you for the time you have given me with_________.  I acknowledge that you are working in their life and I thank you for this miracle.  I honor the shift in perception you have placed before me and them.  May you use our time together as a tool for transmutation and transformation for us both.  Where there was doubt I see confidence, where there was fear I see boldness, where there was pain I see comfort.  I honor you and all of your creatures amen”.

While my days are filled with my clients, friends, family and pets, there was a time I knew the sting of loneliness.  There was a time in my life where this exercise would have been impossible for me to do with another human, but I will save those details for another blog.  If this is you, I encourage you to do so with one of your furry friends.  I had a wise old Chihuahua who spent many hours listening to me ramble about my day……and she loved it!! 

The point is movement and intention as no man or woman is an island unto themselves, open the lines of communication and see things change for you. While I have given this a more current vibe, the basics of this come from a time where isolation could be the difference between life and death. In my grandmothers day community was serious business.  While it is not that dramatic in the physical plane now, it may be in spirit!

The Thank You that Changed the Cosmos!

Hello Friends, 

So those of you who know me know of my love of many things;  my sweets, my animals, my book collection and yes....my coffee.  I was sitting in the coffee house down the street from my house waiting for the caffeine boost I would need to face a gloomy Tuesday morning. As I watch the staff interacting with folks a few  words come to mind such as; concerned, driven, stressed, kind, peaceful, efficient, good.  I  allow these words to waft about my consciousness without censorship or judgement related to their respective definition.  If I were to bring any group of 5 folks through here most likely similar words would come to mind.  As we order our coffee, go to work and interact with others, the universe continues on it's way.  I watch the manager as she navigates the tricky landscape of customer service and employee relations skillfully and with grace.  One phrase is repeated often and with vigor, THANK YOU!

I say that when spoken with sincerity and honesty phrases such as, "Thank You" and "You’re Welcome", can change or alter not only the recipients day,  but it effects the person offering such niceties on a grander scale.  I contend that it not only has an affect on those who are involved in the conversation, but on this entire plane and realm.  You see the universe is the ultimate “web crawler”, constantly looking for clues and directives with which to mold our individual realities.  These realities meld together forming the illusion that is our physical world in turn prompting and triggering brain waves and emotions that are in fact reality.  Therefore one who is constantly in a state of gratitude is a beacon and spiritual magnet for additional realities which are in accord with their own vibratory patterns.   

To bring this back to the Coffee Shop,  the phrase "Thank You".  How do we get the maximum spiritual and creative bang for our cosmic buck?  Are you thankful for objects, if so is this real?  From a metaphysical perspective the only "reality" are the vibratory patterns our brain produces and the resulting connections, expressions and the cosmic language of love.  To be thankful for a “thing” is to send precious energy out into the universe, undirected and unaligned.  Things,  do not in fact exist, emotions and brain energy exist. It is my belief that we can, on a word by word basis, change our own reality and the reality of our world using some simple word shifts.  My challenge to you is this, direct your words of thanks, as well as your emotional investment to the thought that will in fact honor that which is real.  By doing this you will encourage a more direct and instant universal return on your energy prompt.   In addition you will influence the overall magnetic field that is unique to our existence on this planet.  For example;

Coffee Shop Attendant:  Here is your coffee sir.

Me:  Thank You

That is perfectly OK, however from a universal perspective and with an eye toward a more peaceful and happy world this may work better;

Coffee Shop Attendant:  Here is your coffee sir. 

Me: Thank you for your kindness/promptness/efficiency the adjectives are numerous.  

The act of acknowledging what is real i.e. service, kindness etc is a way to prompt the universe into motion, priming the pump if you will.  When you do react in such a manner you are behaving in a way that is befitting universal royalty, the act and reaction of a universal priesthood.  I know it may seem a stretch but I have witnessed its effects over and over again.  

If you believe, and I do, that our reality, our universe as we know it is in fact a dynamic system then the Lyapunov Exponent would tend to apply in this circumstance.  Basically this theory states that the effect will always and ultimately be driven and influenced by the point from which it begins.  The Lyaponuv exponent is often used to quantify the  "Butterfly Effect Theory" that contends a universal sensitive dependency on initial conditions, simply stated, a movement of an insect wing on one continent can change the weather patterns around the world. 

This idea is supported by every major theological system and the mathematical sciences all the way up to and including the chaos theory, all coming to the same conclusion each on it's own path. (this will be addressed in future blogs).

 We, by using the proper verbiage while taking aim with powerful and directed intent, we as creators show respect for our power as such.  These acknowledgments of cosmic reality include;

1.  Acknowledgement of another humans existence and respect for their worth with emphasis on the mirror of their own reality.

2.  Acknowledgement to the universe that you understand what is real and that you are in awe of its beauty and recognize it’s strength.  

3.  Acknowledgement that, what you give.. you receive and that what you say has the creative power of the universe.   That which is real + Acknowledgement + Vibratory Connection or Energy Prompt = Positive Gl0bal Outcome.  

If you aren't familiar with my philosophies or belief system, I can imagine that you are thinking I am a little coo coo or at the least my words are quite a stretch.  I genuinely believe that the most innocent or seemingly simple words or phrases can and do trigger events on a massive scale.  I also believe that repeating certain words or phrases in a manner that is consistent with a universal tone can create positive outcomes on a universal basis, this can be noted in Zen Meditation, Muslim prayers, Catholic Prayers and even what Christians call speaking in a Spiritual Language.  There will be a day when science will possess tools that will measure the power of the spoken word, much like a thermometer measures the temperature of a room.  Using just the correct word in conjunction with the correct tone, intention or vibration can bring positive and powerful results.

No matter your current situation please know that here are people who care for you and see the value you posses.  Sometimes the folks are in the next room, sometimes on the other side of the globe, but they are there.  Do something nice today, even if it is just a kind and heartfelt thank you!  

As always I welcome your questions or comments,

With Continued Bliss

Lost Pets and A Spiritual Boom-A-Rang!

 

 

Hello Sweethearts,

I was contacted this week by a distraught lady whose cat was missing.  Being an animal lover myself these types of cases always take priority for me and they have become a larger and larger portion of my work.  As I was speaking with the lady I quickly went to work setting up an alter.  While this works for me, and I am happy to provide a template for such if you would like just email me, it's not always practical.   When a pet goes missing, there are several different reasons, especially when the animal has served as a spiritual co worker with you. 

1.  Some pets simply leave.  It is sad and difficult to handle yet it is a fact of life.  There are many reasons for this and we must, when working with spirit, blend in free will and universal will in the equation.  Perhaps it was their time to cross over any number of other reasons. 

2.  Often a very in tune animal will be drawn to an area or person who is in need of protection or healing.  A strong animal will sometimes stand watch.  One of the first questions I will ask is, "do you have a neighbor who is in turmoil in some fashion?"  If so I will advise them to go to the house and see if the animal is hiding somewhere close by, often this is the case.  

The following is a simple spiritual POA to address this problem. 

• First light a green candle and place (safely) in the area your pet loves the most, close to a window or door is best.  Next petition the deity of your choice to assist you and your pet, providing safety and comfort to both.  Then if you typically use scented candles or incense, light them, several of them.  Open a door or window allowing the aroma to waft through the air.  Now relax and know that spirit cares for our animals and blesses them with resilience and strength beyond our understanding. 

I always recommend taking the mundane steps such as posters and internet searches to locate fluffy, cause sometimes it's just that simple.  If you know a spirit worker in your area whom you trust, contact them, let them go to work for you, only speak of the issue with those around you who are sympathetic to your plight.  Unfortunately not everyone understands the gravity of a lost pet. 

There is a happy ending to my clients lost kitty, they are now happily cuddling on the sofa.  Perhaps most important is being thankful to spirit for acting on the behalf of your pet and yourself.  Be sure and offer thanks for the assistance and if you are able make a small donation to a local Non Profit Animal Rescue   or  ASPCSA

Remember I am here for you if you should ever need me, and blessings to you!

This blog is dedicated to Maggie, Fallon, Butchie and all other anima's in spirt.

Chronic Spiritual Fatigue

Hello All, 

Before my eyes opened this morning I was reminded of a good friend . "John", is from another state and he has consistently made trips to see me for readings, over many years he has become afriend as well. He is challenged with several chronic physical issues. Due to these ailments, he used to state that his ability to meditate or follow what he considers a true spiritual path, was inhibited.

It was always my retort to that,"challenges based on his ailments enhance and magnify his walk". Being a longtime client and a good friend he would politely nod and move on. About a year ago I was meditating and praying for him when spirit spoke to me and stated, give these "dynamics" to John, I quickly grabbed a pen and paperand wrote down the following words. During our next meeting I shared this with him:

· Acknowledgment- The knowing that we have the ability to influence our condition. We know that there are some issues that are soingrained in the lower plane physical/spiritual quicksand that our attitudes may be the only thing we can change. Heck, maybe that is too much, maybe all we can do is verbally state that we are in control and it takes all our energy tojust repeat positive affirmations, if that's the case do it, it is OK. AA has this right

· Recognition- In order to make any changes, we must recognize that which we love, and that which we fear. Remember 99.9% of all we do, seeand feel rests on one of those two categories. It is a small leap from love tosoul enhancement and from hate to murder. As humans we have both love and fear embedded in our psychic DNA. To move forward be honest with yourself and recognize that which you love and that which you fear. it is OK. Violetflame meditation I use

· Choice- It states in a holy book to "prayer without ceasing". As we go through our day it is important to maintain constant communication with spirit. Remember we have spent eons communication with the creator. When we meditate or pray, this energetic cord is strengthened and we become more aware of spiritual guidance and influences. The choice to maintain that dialogue makes a major impact on our spiritual energy. The Christian's have this one correct!

· Ownership- The example I was given was the old time practice within the Roman church of Confession. As humans through our choices we cause many "psychic hitchers" to attach to to as we go through our dailylives. For example someone cuts us off in traffic and we scream and yell! Well in fact that energetic imprint not only remains in the location in which it was created, it also attaches to the us. Again it is OK, as long as you"own" the creation. In order to process this, at a later time thinkit, understand that it is OK, that you and the "offender" is human.Take the emotion and send as much love to that person as you are able. By doingthis you will transform the negative into the positive through the power of the human heart. Own it then give yourself a break!

To be honest I did not at the timecompletely understand these steps, nor why spirit insisted upon the term"dynamics". About three months after John and I had spoken and Irelayed this information to him, I received a call from him. He reported thatthings were more compatible to what he expected from his spiritual life.

It was interesting to me that as he discussed his new found spiritual confidence, it was not as much directed at the "dynamics" listed above, as it was his willingness to see things differently, a shift in perception as it were, Acourse in miracles state a Miracle is a shift in perception.. wan

Therefore I want to challenge you today, to create your own dynamics to enhance your spirit. Use the theology ofyour choice, just set your mind to it and watch it develop.

Many Blessings

Andrew

Will You Be Mine? Happy Valentines Day.

Happy Valentines Day to all my little Blogentine Sweethearts!

As I reflect about my experiences related this day set aside for lovers, I am reminded about the true story of Valentines Day, as told my my favorite Aunt. 

When I was very young, around 7, I remember watching my Aunt Norma as she applied a heavy coat of make up.  I gazed in amazement as she skilfully applied the different layers and colors, like an artist painting a canvass. "What are you doing Auntie"? I asked, "Oh sweetie I am putting on my war paint"!  She laughed and I giggled.  It is important to note here that my aunt was 1/2 Cherokee or Choctaw, depending on who you believed!  Therefore I didn't really know how to respond or feel about what she said.  In my tender imagination it was not difficult for me to see her on horseback, with a knife in one hand and a big sack in the other going out to catch the man of her dreams! 

She then explained to me that for our people, Valentines Day was extremely close to a day of celebration that acknowledged the return of longer days, more wildlife and thankfulness to a Deity of the harvest.  It was customary in our tradition to use this day to visit the sick, lonely or grave sites of those buried over the winter.  No one ever felt lonely on this day, because you would not have time to do so.  There was always someone to see or someone at your door to see you.  She told the story of how when the organized religion began to settle around our ancestors, they began to strongly encourage that we merge with their holidays.  She explained that while our celebration was on the 15th of February, the church honored a martyred 3rd century Saint on the 14th.  So as often was the case, we ceased our celebration and acclimated to the church's date. 

And today, I know many people, male and female who see the day as one of dread, loneliness or even warfare.  For those of you who have been in the dating community you know it can feel like you've been in battle!

For this day I want to encourage you.  First to know that you are not alone, there is someone who loves you and is thinking about you right now.  In times past I felt that the only one who loved me was a 3 lb chihuahua...and you know what...at that time it was all I needed, though I wanted more, I asked the universe to send me love and that is exactly what happened. 

I want to share with you a short meditation to use to help focus your own intent and petition the universe to send you the love you desire. 

1.  On Valentines Day, always have a white candle burning
2.  Wear Red or Pink as able
3.  Before you go to bed tell those around you that you love them.  This could be your pet, your plants or yourself.  Do so with sincerity and grace.
4.  Tell your Deity of your desire for your love.  Be specific and be confident in your request.
5.  Offer thanks and then appreciate and honor the rest you will take, as when your love does enter your life those long nights of rest may be a memory <wink>.

Always know my friends that you are not alone and there are still good times to be had.  And remember I am here for you if you have questions or concerns.

Many Blessings

Andrew

Is it time for a spiritual tune up?

 

Sitting in my local coffee house today, I was intrigued by the vibration that is beginning to unfold, this resonance is not the typical seasonal shift, it is more intense and more vibrant. Watching individuals and groups of people going about their daily lives, I am fascinated by a different speed, pace and rotation that is taking center stage. Let me begin by saying I believe this to be a change of positive nature.

2012 did indeed taken its toll, not only on humans, but spirits, animals and all sentient beings. The heat and oppressive weather, early winter and intense hurricane season, is a reflection of this spiritual change, not the cause. This has begun to ease a bit and will continue to do so through the next 3-6 months. Looking back over the last season, it seems as if everyone I know both personally and professionally have struggled to maintain the status quo and that is ok. It is part of the ebb and flow of our existence. As you are reading this I suspect that it resonates true, as all spirits are connected and all thoughts come from the mind universal. When we first entered this life, we knew that our emotions and relationships would follow the lead of the universe, the planets and our own moon.

When I speak with other lightworkers, I am astounded by the need for synchronicity, balance and clarity they all seem to be seeking. Be encouraged and be of good cheer for these attributes are easily attainable and within our reach. Allow that which spirit would have for you, to manifest in this physical place that we call the earthly world. Know that steps you take, words you speak, physical movement and meditation/prayer are all necessary to bring your true nature and existence into a vibrational pattern that others and yourself can perceive. Simple steps followed consistantly can and will do wonders for you.

I want to encourage each person who reads this to take control of the aspects of your life that you are able to control. No matter how small that may be. Weigh each decision with a sense of importance and honor. Choose wisely and be confident in your decisions. As we each continue on our path of enlightenment I also encourage you to be your brother’s keeper. Extend common courtesy and offer uncommon assistance to those you see who are in need. It is not uncommon for us to be tested, for lack of a better word, by angels and ascended beings who present in human form to see our reaction and by doing so are able to “tweak” our vibrations to allow a quicker actualization of the true reality. Even the ancient Hebrew people stated in a holy writing, “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unaware”.

I believe the coming months will offer epic opportunities for those among us who open our eyes and souls to accept reality. As we move forward it is important for us to keep in mind that the only true manifestation of realty is visible through the emotion of love, beginning with ourselves and those around us. Fear has governed and dominated our world for too long, minute by minute we can choose to see reality, share reality and experience reality. By doing this we multiply by infinity love and truth. This is true power and true bliss.

All this being said, the masters wish to share three key steps for the coming months, look at them as spiritual reminders to be expressed in a way that feels correct for you.

1. Face issues head on: You possess the power of the universe in your spirit; there is no place for fear. When the fear monotone presents to you call on your god/goddess or other spiritual support system for help. While I am not catholic, I use the following, amended, meditation when faced with fear; “St. Michael the Archangel, defend me in battle and stand boldly with me. Be my defense against dark forces seen and unseen. Remove them from my soul and my environment I humbly prayer, and as I acknowledge you in your royal position in ascension, by the power of God, recycle all thoughts of error and transmute them into a powerful nutrient to be offered to the universe and this earthly plane, amen”. Surround yourself with the color Blue and sounds of nature.

2. Move: As much as you are able, physically move your body. Life happens on the edges, life happens and God appears where there is contact and friction. Activities as simple as walking send a spiritual/universal message via sound and vibrations that we are alive and respectful of the gifts given to us. This message is a powerful remedy for those who feel muddled in their daily lives. Remember it is not the actual amount of movement it is the intention therein; the simple twitching of an ants antennae hold the same power and psychic resonance as a thousand stampeding elephants. Surround yourself with the color Violet and listen classical music of your liking.

3. Ask spirit for help: This is the easiest, yet most simple thing any of us can do. There is no matter regarding what word you use to invoke spirit, it only matters that you invoke spirit. When doing so, be creative. Perhaps while walking take that time to speak with spirit. Formal sanctioned prayers are wonderful and have their place, yet some of the most powerful examples of spiritual intervention I have been privy to have taken place after just a few uttered words, simple and direct, “spirit help _______”, repeated over and over as you walk, watch TV or go about your day. Surround yourself with the color Gold and just listen.

As you move forward through the summer and into the autumn months, know that you are exactly where you should be and that life can, does and will get better. Know that there are others, myself included, who are facing daily struggles head on and sometimes with a bit of trembling too. As the seasons change, let us follow natures lead boldly, humbly and with joy in our souls. We are never alone, sometimes we just need a reminder. In closing I want to share the St Germain meditation. This one I use almost daily to assist with chakra allignment and as a reminder of my spiritual royal nature.

"I am a being of Violet fire, I am the purity God desires".

Continued Bliss,

Andrew
