Oracle Card of the Week December 30th 2010


This Week's Oracle Card: Power of Joy
Maitraya: "The Buddha renowned for his compassion & generosity, also known as Hotei ."  
    
 
"To find your desire outcome, follow the path of joy. Your life's purpose is supported by the joy and passion you feel when you're thinking about or working on your purpose. The joy that you feel within relationships keeps them alive, exciting, and growing. The joy that comes from your hobbies gives you extra energy. Of all the emotions, joy has the highest energy vibration. Joy has the power to remove obstacles and attract all of your needs. Joy reminds us that we needn't suffer at all. We can fulfill our purpose, help ourselves and others, and heal through the power of joy.

Working with Maitraya: (who is also called Hotie, Laughing Buddha and Lord Maitraya) is the familiar image of the smiling and rotund Buddha. His name means "the loving one." He lived as a Buddhist monk who was renowned for his compassion and generosity. Some Buddhists believe that Maitraya is the "future Buddha" who will succeed Siddhartha Gautama as the next Buddha. Call upon Maitraya to increase your happiness and joy."


As we send off 2010 and welcome in 2011 let's resolve to follow our path of joy!
Stay tuned, the first Oracle of 2011 will have insights for the year to come.

Joy & Contentedness,

Oracle Card of the Week December 22nd 2010


This Week's Oracle Card: Truth & Integrity
Truth & Integrity: "Be true to yourself in all of your activities & actions."  
    

"You are guided to be very honest with yourself, and to be true to yourself in all of your activities and actions.

The angels say to you, "Let go of anything inauthentic, and all activities that do not mirror your highest intentions for yourself." If something in your life isn't working, be willing to release it to God and the angels.

When we open our hands and release unhealthful situations, the Divine light can enter. Miracles always follow when we surrender troubling conditions. You'll find that the job, relationship, health issue, or other circumstance heals rapidly in ways that you could never have imagined. All along the way, the angels will perfectly guide you to actions that will either help you replace the situation with something better, or heal it entirely. Expect a miracle when you decide to "be true to you.
"

Wishing you a truly blessed holiday!
Love, Light & Angels,

Oracle Card of the Week December 13th 2010


This Week's Oracle Card: Earth Angel
Earth Angel: "You are a light worker who has come to Earth to teach about love."  
    

"This card comes to you in response to the question about your life's purpose. The answer is: Teach about love. You fulfill this task whenever you're centered, serene, and loving, as that's when you're a role model of Divine peace. You needn't say a word, write a book, or work as a healer in order to positively affect others. You merely need to be loving and compassionate in your interactions with others. Those who are peaceful teach about peace, which is the expression of Divine love on Earth.

You also received this card to help you cope with alienation issues, which means feeling different from others or that you don't belong. As an Earth angel, this may be one of your first human incarnations. But don't worry, for you're never truly alone. The angels are always with you, guiding, loving and unconditionally accepting you as you are. There are also other Earth angels living among you, who have similar backgrounds and experiences to your own. Ask your guardian angels to connect you with like-minded friends, and they will."

Spread your light this week to friends, family & strangers alike!

For those interested, we have a full moon coming next Tuesday the 21st. This is also a Lunar Eclipse and it is the Winter Solstice. Don't forget to bid her good evening =).

Love, Light & Many Blessings to you,

Oracle Card of the Week December 2nd 2010


This Week's Oracle Card: Base Chakra
Base Chakra: "Choose only positive thoughts to describe your home, career, and finances"  
    

"This card indicates that you're focused on your material needs... It's imperative that you use only positive words and phrases to describe your current situation. Affirm your desires as already being reality, and avoid worry--or any discussion that casts you in a "victim" role.

The base chakra (also called the root chakra) is located at the bottom of your spinal column, it is the energy center that governs your feelings about your material needs...

Since every worry is prayer, you draw to yourself what you worry about. Notice your worries and replace them with affirmations."


Tuesday, December 7th 6:00pm-7:30pm
In this class we will learn how to use candle magic to manage stress in a positive way and how to heal yourself and others with candle magic. We will do one healing candle ritual together in class (bring your own holder if you like.) Everyone in the class will receive two candles, one for our in class exercise and one for our "homework," and a stone appropriate for each spell.

We will do a quick review of Candle Magic 101... no one shall be left behind.

The cost for this class is $10.00 each. Hope to see you there!


Hope this finds you well and smiling! Take a moment this week to send loving energy to your root/base chakra. Imagine yourself inhaling and sending healing light to the base of your spine. See and feel a huge ball of ruby red light glowing with in you. Take a moment to do this every time you find your thoughts turning to worries.

Many Blessings,

Oracle Card of the Week December 8th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Lake, Stillness
Lake, Stillness: "It is critical for you to seek stillness & clear your mind."    
    

"The subdued pastels of the early morning light quietly announce that the night is over and the sun is rising. The lake itself has not awakened from its rest and remains still and undisturbed. It welcomes the coming day, ready to respond with grace and fluidity to whatever currents and movements appear... all is at rest in this scene.

It is in the deep, internal stillness that we find our Being and come to know that we are intimately united with all of Creation. To achieve this mind set, we must slow down once in a while and get away from surroundings that interfere and distract our inner tranquility."


Good Day to you! Ahhh, stillness, how we all need it!

A wonderful way to slow the mind chatter and enter that stillness is through conscious breathing. Take deep breathes in through your nose and feel it all the way down into your belly. Deep breathing like this will release endorphins and help your entire body to relax.

Peace & Plenty,

"This card reassures you that you are part of an awesome and powerful team of benevolent beings. They surround, guide, and love you constantly. If you are in danger, they will comfort you with the energy of Divine Love. If you are confused, they will whisper guidance in your ear.

By drawing this card, your angels and guides ask you to talk to them more frequently. Have mental conversations with them about everything, and you will soon see evidence of their existence.

Oracle Card of the Week November 17th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: The Goblin
The Goblin: "Wounded human ego..."       

When the goblin appears, it is time to stop what you are doing and check your motives. Are you coming from an ego centered place? Are the circumstances in your life triggering unresolved past issues that still need healing? Goblin brings up feelings of fear, anger, resentment, selfishness and greed... so they can be healed and seen for what they truly are.

Now is time for self evaluation and taking inventory, before you take another step. The Goblin represents the wounded ego and its influence. Repressed areas of the psyche get triggered... either in you, or warning you of a dynamic between you and someone else.

Do nothing. Stay still, send loving energies to yourself and others, and remember the Divine connection in all things.


We have a new reader in the store TODAY from 10am-7pm. We met Jeffrey recently at a Psychic Fair and so enjoyed his readings! You may call ahead to schedule your reading (812) 443-2584. Walk-ins also welcome.

Oracle Card of the Week November 9th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Practice
Practice: "The best way to be good at a skill is to practice..."   
    

"This card is a sign that you need to practice a skill that's important to you...As you practice, some days you'll feel stronger than others, yet you'll notice that your skills improve the more you use them. So have patience with yourself and your teachers. It may take time for you to learn how to do something in the best way. Practice really is the best way to improve your skills.

Whether your dream is to paint, write, dance, sing... practice is one way to make your dreams come true."


Hope you are doing well this week! Sounds like we will all be busy perfecting a skill or two. Don't forget to have fun with the process!

Good Luck,

Oracle Card of the Week November 3rd 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Remember Who You Are
Remember Who You Are: "You are a powerful, loving & creative child of God."   
    

"You are made in the image and likeness of your Creator, so you embody aspects of all those qualities. Your inner Divine light is pure and bright in truth, and no mistakes can undo God's handiwork of true perfection. Don't be afraid of your power, your magnificence, or your wisdom. When you succeed, you inspire others. When you change your life so that it's more aligned with your interests, you inspire others. Be powerful! Be Magnificent! This is who you are."

Like Bobcat, enjoy solitude this month. Savor in doing what you would like when you like, even if just for a moment. Listen for the secrets to be shared with you in this time of silence.

Peaceful Dreaming,

Oracle Card of the Week October 27th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Unconditional Joy
Unconditional Joy: "Thank you for helping me appreciate everything that makes me happy."     
  

"This card serves as a reminder that it's possible to experience joy no matter what's happening in life. Too often, we put conditions on our happiness, saying, "I'll be happy when..." However, maintaining a lighthearted, cheerful mind-set can be a potent health prescription for increased vitality and strength.

Archangel Raphael can help you find something to feel joyful about by focusing upon the things you are grateful for. As you allow yourself to be happy today, you attract more circumstances that will enhance your sense of well-being even more. It's a healthy cycle, beginning with your present happiness."

Hope this finds you well and smiling. Let's keep it simple and happy. Focus on what brings you joy this week. Take the time to express your gratitude for that being in your life and smile a lot!

Grateful for you,

Oracle Card of the Week October 20th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: The Metal King
Metal King: "discipline, armor, setting healthy boundaries"      
 

"The Metal King is strong and arrives to lend you his impenetrable shield of protection. No matter who sends you criticism or jealousy, you will not be hurt.

This ally also prompts you to think about setting healthy boundaries. When you do -- no matter how uncomfortable that task may be -- everyone will benefit. He asks you to make sure you know where you end & another begins. Other's emotions are not yours, no matter how empathetic you may be
.
Another of the Metal Kings messages is to remind you how important it is to have a healthy sense of self-esteem. It's a good time to shine and be proud of what you have accomplished.



Metal Kings speaks to us of co-dependency. This has come up a lot in the past couple of weeks. Codependency is a tendency to behave in overly passive or excessively caretaking ways that negatively impact one's relationships and quality of life. It often involves putting one's needs at a lower priority than others while being excessively preoccupied with the needs of others.

While it is good to be a caring and loving person it is also important to set good boundaries that honor our commitment to care for our selves. Metal King has come up this week to remind us of that balance.

May you find a good balance with caring for your self and others this week.

Blessings of Inner Peace,

Oracle Card of the Week October 12th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Perfect Timing
Perfect Timing: "Don't delay or procrastinate, as all of the ingredients are ripe for success"    
   

"Now is the perfect moment for you to act on your inspirations. The doors are open, while you walk through them with us by your side. Don't delay or procrastinate, as all of the ingredients are ripe for your success. Everything and everyone is on your side, supporting your positive outcome."

"This card means that you need to take certain steps before your prayer can be fully answered. The angels say that now is the perfect time to act. They will guide you along the way. Sometimes it's not so important how we approach the situation, but that we put energy, action, and intention into manifesting what we desire. Once we take the first step in the direction of our desired outcome, the universe then gives us additional help." 



This card speaks to us of the importance of action. Our words are little compared with our actions and what they can bring to our physical realities. Take action now, don't delay. If you aren't sure what is coming your way right now, take a moment to clear some space for a blessing in your life. My Grandfather always said "It is good to sweep off your porch each morning, it allows new blessings to come to your front door." Find a space to clear for that blessing to enter your own home and your life.

Many Blessings,
Blue Moon Gifts

Oracle Card of the Week October 6th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Mother Mary
Expect a Miracle: "Have faith that your prayers have been heard & are being answered."  
     
"Message from Mother Mary: Faith is the light that illuminates your pathway. Without faith, the future looks very frightening. That is why it's essential for you to take whatever steps are necessary to keep your mind and heart filled with faith. Please don't give up hope on yourself or other people. Keep the candle of faith burning with in your soul, as that one small inkling of hope can eradicate the darkness of despair. Be the light that eliminates someone's gloomy hopelessness as well. For as you make others stronger, it strengthens not only yourself but the entire world."

I have to giggle as we pull the squirrel totem for this month. Squirrel is a good helper to have as we scurry and prepare for the holiday seasons. Gathering for Yule logs and Christmas wreaths, presents and baking supplies... squirrel can help us find that perfect item for each project. For those heading out to the Covered Bridge Festival this weekend, bring that squirrel medicine with you!

Happy Gathering,

Oracle Card of the Week Spetember 28th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Quiet Time
Quiet Time: "Take some quiet time alone to rest, meditate & contemplate."   
    
"Message from Sige: Shhh, dearest one. Quiet your mind. Breathe and let go of words, worry, and plans. Go into that space of silence deep with in you, that vortex of peace where the world doesn't enter. Now is the time to retreat in silence and spend time alone. I'll lovingly help you rejuvenate and recenter yourself. Don't try to make decisions now. Just allow your mind to be at rest. You'll know soon enough when it's time to take action. But for now, quiet your mind. Rest."

Sige is the Gnostic Goddess considered the mother of Sophia, the Goddess of wisdom. Sige can teach us about the wisdom born of silence. She reminds us that words create duality, and that in silence we find our true origin.

In Peace & Quiet,

Oracle Card of the Week September 22nd 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Find the Blessing
Blessing: "Krishna is a messenger of joy, happiness, romantic love & spiritual teachings"  
     
"Every situation offers opportunities to grow and learn. When we curse a situation, we block its energy flow and things fester and grow worse. In contrast, as you recognize the blessings within your current situation, supportive and healing energy flows toward you. This card comes to you because there's an unrecognized blessing within your current situation. It could be something that you've learned or gained, for example. Recognize the blessing to accelerate the healing and manifestation that's trying to come to you."


Hope this finds you well and joyful for the full moon this evening. As we see that moon in her full power let us tell her of the gratitude we have for the good and the challenging things in our lives. They shape us and make us the strong and positive people we are today.

Grateful for you,

Oracle Card of the Week September 15th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: The Ford
The Ford: "Crossing Boundaries, Overcoming Obstacles, Reconciling Opposites..." 
      
"Rivers made natural boundaries and often marked the edges of tribal territories. To cross a Ford meant stepping from one realm to another, overcoming obstacles... You are facing a major obstacle but have the ability to overcome it. The only way is to confront it, understand it and work through it. You must not go around. This card can also indicate disputes settled with ease."

Now is a good time to take in those lessons dog shares and apply them to ourselves. This week is a time for selfless love, support for our "pack" and unending loyalty. Every now and again it is important to cross those boundaries of self preservation and be love for some one, deserving or not.

Love & Loyalty,

Oracle Card of the Week September 8th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Breathe
Breathe: "Take several deep breaths... to awaken your energy..."       
"Often during times of stress, you may unconsciously hold your breath. Yet, as you know, breath is essential to oxygenating your mind, body, spirit, and very life. Write a note to yourself to breathe, as a reminder of the importance of invigorating yourself with deep and steady breaths. Make trips to places where fresh air is plentiful. You'll also notice an increase in air quality when you're near water, such as the beach or a lake. Even taking a shower or bath puts you in touch with the positive ions associated with water and air."

Raphael's name means "Whom God Heals," and he is known as the healing angel in charge of physical healings for all living beings.


As you are able to breath this week pay attention to the impressions that stick with you in these moments of peace and stillness.

Many Blessings,

Oracle Card of the Week September 1st 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Poseidon
Poseidon: "Earth Shaker..."       
"Poseidon is the earth shaker who demands respect. The earth may be shaking for you at this time. Old structures that are no longer useful to you are breaking down and a new knowledge is removing the foundations on which you've built your current place in life.

The truth is, the old foundations no longer serve you, regardless of whether you feel ready to face that fact or not, for they would not have crumbled if they were built on anything that was still substantial. The bigger picture may not be in sight right now, but when the time is right, the bounty of a new land will be revealed and it will be up to you to take the next step.
Enjoy it! Ride the waves into a new phase of your life, for adventure awaits you."


Poseidon is the son of Rhea and Cronus. The ruler of water, seas and oceans, he holds the trident (a three-pronged fork). He is known to be both the supporter of the Earth as well as the shaker of the Earth and has been said to be the creator of many earthquakes.

He brings us a powerful message this week of change. Remember that dog totem is with you, now is a good time to call on your "pack" for support and enjoy the loyalty and sincerity they offer.

This Week's Oracle Card: Play
Play: "Playfulness, gaiety, & laughter will lift your energy..." 
       

"Beloved One, it's time to set aside work for awhile. Don't worry; we will oversee your responsibilities to their completion. Playfulness, gaiety, and laughter will lift your energy so that you'll return to work with a renewed perspective and heightened energy."

"The angels see that you need to play, so they sent you this card. You've been working and worrying a lot lately, and your soul cries out for fun. Feelings of fatigue, irritability, or depression are additional signs that you're overdue for some playtime. You don't need to wait until you have a free moment, because you can inject fun into your day today. simple pleasures, moments of silliness, laughing with a friend, or watching a funny movie are examples of ways to have fun that don't require a lot of time or money.

Fun and play are necessary parts of life for children and adults. Theses types of activities help us live healthier lives, and allow us to attain our desires more quickly. Fun is part of living a balanced life."

Dolphin is a wonderful animal spirit to invite into our lives this week. Dolphin will help us remember our playfulness. They are well known for their agility, playful behavior and laughter.

Oracle Card of the Week August 18th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Teacher
Teacher: "It's time to pass your knowledge on to others..."   
    
"This card is about learning and teaching. You've learned a lot from your experiences and relationships, and now it's time to pass that knowledge along to others. Your current situation is bringing you opportunities for spiritual growth and teaching you some important life lessons. As soon as you understand and accept these lessons, old patterns will drop away and be replaced by wonderful new experiences. This situation is bringing you important life lessons.  Mahachohan Ragoczy is regarded as a great spiritual teacher whose students include Saint-Germain."


Often we wish we could read every single book in the store. They all sound so fabulous and reading them feels like satisfying a craving of the soul. Unfortunately, as much as we would like, we are not able to read the whole day through!

This got us thinking on a book review program for the store. What if customers submitted reviews on the books they read in the store?!?!? Wouldn't this be a wonderful way for us all to get a taste of what these books are about? What they are inspiring, teaching, or fueling in our lives. With that in mind we are starting a book review contest for our customers! How fitting that we draw 'the Teacher' as we introduce this way for us to learn as a community.

Every entry will receive a $5.00 gift certificate. If we choose to feature your review in a newsletter and/or in the store you will receive 40% off your next book purchase. Please submit all reviews to bluemoongiftsonline@gmail.com or bring them by the store. Be sure to include the book title and author's name along with your name and contact information.

Oracle Card of the Week August 11th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: You are Safe

You are Safe: "There's nothing to worry about..."        



Pulled for this week from Doreen Virtue's Daily Guidance Oracle Cards

"The Angels send this card to you because you've been needlessly worrying. Worry is a form of prayer that draws to you that which you do not desire. Release your worries to your angels, as there truly is nothing to worry about. In fact, your worries could create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Ask the angels to release you from worry. Everything is much better than you imagine."

 

Exploration! This week will be a good time to expand your world. Like the butterfly flitting from flower to flower, take some time to venture out and see something new. Too hot for you? Meditation is a great way to explore our inner selves without stepping foot out the door. Start with a visualization... Imagine yourself as that butterfly, see the meadow of brightly colored flowers, smell the blossom's scent and feel the breeze. What do you see in the field? What do you feel as the butterfly? Is there anyone there with you? Does this person or being have a message for you?

Enjoy this time of personal growth and change.

Butterfly Blessings,

Oracle Card of the Week August 4th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Acceptance

Acceptance: "See yourself and others through the eyes of the angels..."        


Pulled for this week from Doreen Virtue's Daily Guidance Oracle Cards

"You received this card to help your relationship with yourself and others. The next time you're tempted to judge yourself or someone else harshly, pray for their health and happiness instead. This more positive route builds self-esteem and harmony, and heals relationships.

Notice how much better you feel when you think positively about yourself and others."



"The power that Butterfly brings to us is akin to the air. It is the mind, and the ability to know the mind or to change it. It is the art of transformation.

To use Butterfly medicine, you must astutely observe your position in the cycle of self-transformation. Like Butterfly, you are always at a certain station in your life activities. You may be at the egg stage, which is the beginning of all things. This is the stage at which an idea is born, but has not yet become a reality. The larva stage is the point at which you decide to create the idea in the physical world. The cocoon stage involves "going within": doing or developing your project, idea, or aspect of personality. The final stage of transformation is the leaving of the chrysalis and birth. This last step involves sharing the colors and joy of your creation with the world.

If you look closely at what Butterfly is trying to teach, you will realize that it is the never-ending cycle of self-transformation. The way to discern where you are in this cycle is to ask yourself:

1) Is this the egg stage: Is it just a thought or idea?
2) Is this the lava stage: Do I need to make a decision?
3) Is this the cocoon stage: Am I developing & doing something to make my idea a reality?
4) Is this the birth stage: Am I sharing my completed idea?

By asking yourself these questions, you will discover how Butterfly is relating to you at this moment. When you understand where you are, the symbol can teach you what to do next to continue in the cycle of self-transformation.

Oracle Card of the Week July 28th 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Visualize Success
Visualize Success: "Have faith in a positive outcome..."   
    

Pulled for this week from Doreen Virtue's Angel Therapy Oracle Cards

"The angels want to boost your confidence and relieve you of worries about this situation. Part of this process involves holding positive visions for yourself and the other people involved. When you expect the best, you inspire the best in yourself and others.

The situation you're inquiring about depends on your faith in, and firm vision of, a successful outcome. Fortunately, the angels can help you hold a high and clear vision of success. Just ask them for this help, and it is done."


How wonderful to see fall just around the corner! We can hardly wait to see that transformation of color and the heartwarming smells of apple cider, camp fires and the damp changing earth.

Doreen leaves us with an action step to help with this week's visualization:

She says:
"It is easiest to visualize success if you have a 'focal point,' which means something to stare at that acts like a blank canvas upon which you paint your visualization. The flame of a white candle makes a wonderful focal point.

Relax while staring at a lit white candle, and imagine yourself in the actual situation doing beautifully well. See and feel everyone involved as smiling, happy, and fulfilled. Allow yourself to feel safe and secure in your stomach and all throughout your mind and body. Give any concerns about how this positive outcome will occur to God and the angels. The 'how' is taken care of by God's infinite wisdom and love."


Wishing you a Magical Week,

Oracle Card of the Week July 21st 2010

This Week's Oracle Card: Inner Authority

Inner Authority: "thank you for supporting me as I take back my power..."  
     

Pulled for this week from Doreen Virtue's Archangel Raphael Healing Cards

"Archangel Raphael sends this card to encourage you to use your own power and authority in this situation. The Healing Angel sees that you've been giving your power away to others and ignoring your feelings. It's time to make your own decisions, stand up for yourself, and speak your truth! Raphael will hold your hand throughout this experience, empowering you and giving you courage.

You've been confused lately because of differing opinions and advice about what you should do. This card serves as a reminder that you must take the course of action that's guided by your inner voice. You truly do know the best path to take, even if it means interacting with intimidating authority figures. In the long run, they'll respect you more for taking charge."


What is your personal truth about the situations you are faced with this week? It is so easy to get caught up in the truths of those who surround you, friends, family, co-workers... let's get to the core of that. What do you feel in your gut without the words and well intentioned advise of others swirling around in your head?

This card also addresses the physical self. If you are facing a medical issue, listen to your intuition. It's okay to get a 2nd or 3rd opinion!

Hope this finds you well & smiling,

"This card reminds you to focus upon your strengths and not upon any perceived weaknesses. Your strengths could include your loving heart, pure intentions, people skills, hobbies, or something that you excel in. Even if your talents still need polishing, these are strengths and assets. The more you bless and appreciate your strengths, the stronger they'll grow. If you focus upon so called weaknesses, they will grow. This card comes to you as a reminder of the importance of viewing yourself with compassion and love. Anytime you find yourself thinking or feeling poorly about yourself, focus upon your strengths instead."

Apollo is the Greek sun god who's the son of Zeus and twin brother of the Goddess Artemis. Apollo is a powerful deity who can bring out the sunshine in your life, literally and figuratively. Renowned for his physical strength, Apollo can also act as a personal trainer to motivate your exercise program. He can help you gain emotional and intellectual strength.

One has to wonder why another "Focus" themed card was pulled for this week. The universe is speaking loudly! Positive affirmations are a wonderful way to lift your energy and faith with in yourself. Affirmations bring the focus back to the self in a positive way reminding us of our true inner beauty. Remember, you are a gift to this earth.

Have a wonderful day,

Oracle Card of the Week July 7th 2010

This Weeks Oracle Card: Focus
Focus: "We choose our thoughts...think about what you want"       

    
Pulled for this week from Doreen Virtue's Healing with the Angels Cards

"Think about what you want, not what you don't want. Guard your thoughts carefully, because they create your experiences.

Sometimes it seems that our thoughts choose us, but this is never the case. We always choose our thoughts -- every moment. Our thoughts always have an effect, and there are no neutral thoughts. One-half second before you hold a thought, you decide to hold it. So, with practice, you can learn to monitor and alter your thoughts. This is the equivalent of putting your hands on the steering wheel of your life.

You may believe that your concentration abilities are impaired, yet the infallible mind of God is within your own mind
. You can experience remarkable feats of concentration by affirming: "I am now able to focus my mind at will. I hold only loving thoughts, and my angels act as my gatekeepers in establishing a steady stream of thoughts of love."
