  | | Cutting Cords |
by Madisyn Taylor In every relationship, people are constantly exchanging energy that can become a chord connecting two people. This energetic cord forms just below the breastbone and can remain long after a relationship has ended. This unbroken cord may leave an open channel between you and another person, through which emotions and energy can continue to flow. If you are unaware that the chord exists, it is easy to feel the other person's emotions and mistakenly think that they are yours. Besides the fact that this can limit the amount of closure you can experience in a relationship, letting this cord remain intact can leave you with a continued sense of sadness while creating feelings of lethargy as your own energy is sapped from you. Cutting the cord can help you separate yourself from old baggage, unnecessary attachments, and release you from connections that are no longer serving you.
Finding and cutting unwanted cords is a simple, gentle process that is best done alone and when you are relaxed. It is important that you are strong in your intention to release the chord between you and someone else. To begin, breathe deeply and perform a simple centering meditation. When you are ready, visualize or sense the chords that are connecting you to other people. Run your fingers through the cords to separate them until you find the cord you wish to sever. There is no need to worry, because the chord you need to sever will feel just right. When you have found it, determine where the cut should be made and then visualize the cord being cleanly cut. If you need assistance, Archangel Michael can be called upon to help you with his sword. Afterwards, if you feel that cutting the chord has left spaces in your energy field, then visualize those spaces being filled with healing sunlight.
There may be times where cutting a cord can help free a relative or loved one to reach new stages of growth. You're not severing a relationship, but you are severing the chords that are no longer serving you both. At other times, a cord may simply refuse to be cut because it is still serving a higher purpose. It is also important to remember that cutting a cord with someone is not a replacement for doing your emotional work with people. It can, however, be an enactment of that work upon its completion. In any case, cutting a relationship cord should always be viewed as a positive and nurturing act. By cutting the cords that no longer need to be there, you are setting yourself and others free from the ties that bind. |
DailyOM Course Spotlight by Sara Wiseman Each of us enters this lifetime through the miracle of birth--conceived by humans, pushed into the world through the body of our mother. It's said that we choose our families; that we choose our parents, siblings, cultures, even the time and place we are born into, because our souls have determined that this is where we will learn fastest on our journey of soul growth. Well-chosen or not, we are all born into family, lineage, tribe. Now, it would be lovely if the family we've landed into is brimming with nothing but love and light, a continuous feast of honey and roses. However, for many of us this is not the case. In the next four weeks, we will work deeply, and with intention. We'll be contacting the spirits of your ancestors, and we will be connecting, repairing and releasing the energetic strands and emotional cording that exist in every family's karma. It is serious energy work. However, I have crafted this course to be welcoming to all levels. That means, you don't need a background in spiritual intuition or shamanic ritual to do this work. I will guide you through, step by step, at a level that you feel comfortable with.

 | | Empathetic Caring | Cancer Horoscope May 29, 2018 Your caring nature could compel you to help others today. Perhaps you may realize that by giving your time and attention to others you are creating a better world for everyone around you. Volunteering at a local organization or helping out a loved one in need could be ways in which you can tap into the depths of your compassion and give something precious to another person. However you choose to extend your love to someone else today, you may want to practice developing your empathy toward others by trying a meditation technique that enhances compassion. On each inhale, you can imagine taking in the suffering of others as if it were your own, and with each exhale, picture that suffering dissolving into a sea of unconditional love. You may find that this not only makes your service more valuable to others but that it adds another dimension to your own understanding of the people around you.
Developing compassion for others makes our service more meaningful not only for those we serve but also for ourselves. When we learn to see others' problems as if they were our own, we begin to forge a connection to the spirit of each person we meet, which lets us see that there is nothing that separates us--we are all part of the same universal spirit. This realization that others' problems are no different from your own will allow you to help people from a genuine place of concern today.

 | | When Life Throws You a Curveball |
by Madisyn Taylor In life, we are always setting goals for ourselves and working to make them happen. This gives us focus and ensures that we use our time and energy efficiently and effectively. It also provides us with a sense of purpose and direction. We know where we are going and what we want to do. But quite often, due to forces outside our control, things do not go as we had planned--the flat tire on the way to the wedding, the unforeseen flu virus--and we have to adjust to a postponement or create a whole new set of circumstances. Even positive turns of fortune -- an unexpected influx of cash or falling in love -- require us to be flexible and to reconsider our plans and priorities, sometimes in the blink of an eye. This is what happens when life throws you a curveball.
The ability to accept what is happening and let go of your original expectations is key when dealing with these unexpected turns of fate. We have a tendency to get stuck in our heads, clinging to an idea of how we think life should go, and we can have a hard time accepting anything that doesn't comply with that idea. The fact is that life is unpredictable. The trip you thought was for business -- and when the deal fell through, you got depressed -- actually landed you at the airport two days earlier than planned so you could meet the love of your life. Your car breaks down, and you are late for an appointment. While it's true that you never arrive at that important meeting, you end up spending a few relaxing hours with people you would never have met otherwise.
In order to keep us awake to opportunity and to teach us equanimity, the universe throws us the occasional curveball. Remember that curve balls are not only life's way of keeping us awake, which is a gift in and of itself; they are also often life's way of bringing us wonderful surprises. Next time a curve ball comes your way, take a deep breath, say thank you, and open your mind to a new opportunity. |
DailyOM Course Spotlight by Angela Montano It has been said that every problem is mental and every solution is spiritual. Our problems, even minor ones, can ruin our whole day. And bigger challenges can leave us hopeless and paralyzed with fear. That's a lot of time to spend in dark places. We're searching for an oasis of light, peace and contentment. We yearn for soul support. True healing. So how do we connect to spiritual solutions when we are triggered - stressed, overwhelmed, feeling inadequate and not knowing what to do? The answer is simple and near. It's deep in our bones and pulsing in our hearts. It is our primal spiritual instinct. The answer is Prayer. It is the language of our soul. It unites us to our deepest power. Prayer changes things. It will change you. I'm talking about prayer like you've never experienced before - as rock-bottom love, a healing vibration, sublime relief.

| | Rediscover The Sparkle | Cancer Horoscope May 28, 2018 You may feel playful today and desire some camaraderie with friends and loved ones. You might feel a desire to strengthen the bonds you share by spending quality time together, or you could simply feel a need to bring more fun into your relationships. If you express this desire to your loved ones, you could create some meaningful experiences for all of you to enjoy. You may want to explore your options for entertainment and gather loved ones together for an evening out, or you could put together an informal gathering at your home. You might also allow your attitude to shine through, since your playful energy will infuse any situation with fun. Even if you don't alter your normal routine, you can still make an effort to have fun and express your playful side today.
Infusing our relationships with an air of playfulness and fun can help us strengthen our connections and bring more enjoyment into our lives. Over time, our relationships can lose the initial sparkle they held when they were brand-new. They are no less important to us, but we become accustomed to them and might take them for granted. If we can make an effort to infuse our relationships with a little laughter, fun, and playfulness, we can rediscover that sparkle and deepen our connections. Focus on having fun and being playful with others today, and you will fulfill your need for camaraderie while strengthening your bonds at the same time.
