The Ancestors are Calling You

[Carol Anne Kincaid~Paradis]

Three cheers for the red, white and blue! Red because it's considered to be one of the single most powerful colors on the planet. According to Feng Shui, wearing red is believed to bring you fame and notoriety. Red grabs attention and will get you noticed. In many traditions and countries red is also the color of choice to be married in, as it is also associated with amore. In the color theory adopted by this modality, red can also be attributed to energy, luck, courage, passion, marriage, faith and communication. Obviously, red is HOT. But what does Feng Shui say about white? White represents confidence, purity and poise. Wearing white will allow others to see your value as you embrace your own esteem. Combined with gold or silver, white is said to promote peace and provide a calm and cool environment. White encourages wisdom both on the battlefield and off. And then there's blue, which is believed to be able to calm and soothe. Feng Shui says that blue reflects love and that it helps to heal and relax. Blue is credited with creating a feeling of peace and trust. And since it is the color of both the sea and sky, Feng Shui says that blue is associated with adventure and exploration. Navy blue is the color of intellect and critical thinking. So whether the stars and the stripes are calling, looking at these colors anew can bring you positive energies you might not have been aware of before. So, truly, three cheers for the red, white and blue. Happy Fourth of July!

GOOD MORNING...HAPPY TRAILS...

The Ancestors are Calling You

"These are your ‘spirit families’ and guardians from the deep, eternally-bound past. The ancestors gather around you, perhaps straddling many native cultures, traditions, communities and civilisations.

Your personal spiritual timeline – how your soul has reached across lifetimes and millennia – can be reflected in the shimmering faces of the sacred ancestors that make contact with you now.

You can easily link in with your spiritual ancestors by considering the traditions, cultures, perhaps countries, and ‘realms’ that you are instinctively attracted to. This is usually a very magnetic feeling; a pull or draw towards a certain group or tribe. For example, you may be very attracted to native traditions of countries such as America, South America, Africa, the Middle East or Europe. You may feel a pull towards the aesthetics, food, colours, textures and music of this culture or tradition.

Your ancestors of Light extend to those who you may consider to be ‘off-Earth’, such as angels and star-beings. They can be goddesses and gods. They can be sacred animal totems. There are endless forms of spiritual ancestry who form up the lifeblood of your Soul.

These guides specifically want to call themselves ‘ancestors’ today. They are your Great Mothers and Grandmothers, Great Fathers and Grandfathers, Brothers and Sisters. They comprise a Great Family of Light that surrounds your soul path.

It is important that you recognise your ancestors, as they connect with you now to deliver vital energies and new guidance. They know you inside and out, and can also take you on journeys to rediscover lost and forgotten parts of your Self.

This liberates your spirit and helps you to remember your deepest purpose. You will feel a closeness, a sweet familiarity with your ancestral families. They will often have significant messages for you, at poignant moments upon your ‘Earth Walk’.

It is no random occurrence that you are drawn inexplicably to specific realms or cultures, sacred rituals or healing traditions, at certain trigger points in your life.

You are responding to a Call from your spiritual ancestors, and they are asking you to be open to connection.

Ancestors create events and situations in which you can receive their contact, open to their assistance and expand your Self. This is usually out of the control of your mind’s plans about your life. It is serendipitous, magical, destined.

This is the Way of the Ancestors. They come to remind you of the realms beyond the veil. They come to remind you of your innate greatness, and capacity to illuminate the world. They come to offer healing, rituals, succour and sustenance for your opening into Spirit.

They believe in your deep powers and want you to use them, for the greatest good of all.

The Ancestors gather now, in healing circles, on the ground and in the air, in the oceans and rivers, the hills and mountains.

Listen, listen, listen. Hear their Call.

It is only for you."
