Food For Thought Saturday February 18th 2023

Have a very good Saturday afternoon dear all,

The Whispering Woods have another nice Food For Thought for you today:

Music
There is a melody to be heard in the deepest parts of the woord, if only we listen.

I translate this to the melody of your heart. Your heart chakra is connected to Nature. That’s why your Heart Chakra has the color green. Your heart and Nature have the same frequency or energy vibration. That is also the reason why you feel so good when you go out into Nature. You feel reborn. Your worries are less or completely gone. You can take go on again.

Ask yourself, “What can I do to better hear the melody of my heart?”.

Then you also know what you can do to connect outside with the melody of Nature. The melody of your Heart and of Nature are one.

I wish you a beautiful, melodious Saturday ♪♪♪♥♪♪♪

With love,

Food for Thought Saturday February 4th 2023

In the hectic everyday life, the Whispering Woods comes up with a nice Food for Thought for today:

“Grounded

Keep to your roots and stand taller than the trees”

Have a nice Saturday♥

The Land Between

My dear dear all out there,

The World is in turmoil and so is our Inner World. We are all affected by the events and the measures taken by our governments. We are facing new measures here in the Netherlands and it has been occupying my thoughts. Apparently so, that when I drew my Card of the Day, it answered me with this beauty:

I asked the Cards what wisdom I could carry into today and The Land Between came out. And I totally relate to this card. At the moment it feels indeed as The Land Between. The card says the following:

“The process in between worlds is where things get really interesting. You learn how to manage your fear, how to stay present in the now, how to see in the dark. You absorb the lessons offered to you with grace, because you can’t go any faster. This is a real test of emotional fortitude, patience, trust, and humility. Once you have made this no-man’s-land your home, it will be part of you. Then whatever set in motion comes to life. This is what you’ve been waiting for. When you look back, you will grow to love the place ‘in between’, for that is where you were reborn.

With every Card of the Day I draw an Affirmation of the Day and today’s affirmation is the following:

The food for thought that comes with this affirmation is the following:

“My heart is open. I allow my love to flow freely. I love myself, I love myself, and others love me.”

The World is in an Interbellum, a time in between times, at the moment. And our society is facing great challenges and so are we. What is the World we would love to live in?

We are undergoing a change, a change from an industrial society to an technological society. And the sitting power is frantically trying to maintain its power. But, we all know what a cornered cat is doing, it makes weird jumps. Those jumps have become more and more hurtful in the sense of divide and conquer. But I express my hope here that eventually Love conquers all.

Reconnect with Love; within yourself, towards your family and friends and towards the World as a whole. Only when we act from Love, our World and our society will blossom again. So go within and explore what kind of world you wish to live in. And the see what little steps you can take in the outside World to establish your Dream World. The magic is in this process, because you know: once you believe, you will receive.

Choose Love
Reconnect with Love
Dream the World you want to live in from Love
And act in the outer World from Love
Love is the Key

Have a wonderful and delightful week my dear dear ones out there♥

With love,

Two Day Cards today

My dear dear ones out there,

Today 2 Day Cards wanted to give you some messages. And reading their messages I can understand why.

The first, Smoke and Mirrors, offers a nice insight for when you gradually no longer know what or who you can still believe and what or who not. By now we all know, I think, there is no such thing as objective and genuine news. They all preach for their own parish, as we say in The Netherlands. Yeah, ok and now? I can only advise you not to rely on what you hear in the news reports, but research yourself and find your own truth.

Smoke and Mirrors

Today trust the inner voice that reminds you that you truly will find what you seek and more, even if outer conditions appear to challenge that. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Things are not exactly as they seem.

I think the second message is appropriate to the bizarre reality that has gripped us for a little over a year now. To be honest, sometimes I have had enough of it and want to go out and shout it from the rooftops. And yes, sometimes depressive feelings or feelings of helplessness creep over me and I think why should this continue like this.

But, I have a choice. I have a choice of how to respond to these bizarre circumstances in which I now live. And I choose to be happy. To enjoy all those things that are going well. The blossom that I already see here and there on the trees. Daffodils that look up from time to time to see if the Sun wants to break through. My son’s pleasure in his Fortnite online event. My tomcat purring on the kitchen sink, seducing me into opening the tap for him (which I’m going to do right now, so I’ll be right back). See photo;) The fun of all being in our living room doing something for yourself in peaceful harmony.

Life, even though it is sometimes gray and painful, always has beautiful sides to lift and cheer you up. If you don’t know how, read the following message from the 2nd Day Card.

Happy, Happy

Find joy in the present moment, whatever is happening, and be satisfied with things as they are. You’re free from the shackles of longing and able to experience the liberation that comes from actually being happy moment to moment, for you have chosen happiness over yearning for it.

Now is the time for feeling joy for the sake of joy, and experiencing contentment. None of this is because of something outside yourself. Your happiness is a result of you choosing to be happy. All is well.

I wish you a lot of wisdom with dealing with all the news reports and a nice and happy week♥

With love,
Elke )O( The Alder Scrolls /|\

Every morning I wake up and…

Hi everyone,

How is your day going today?

Here everything is nice and sunny and joyful. I just had a nice walk with our dog. Later on I will continue with my Vision Board, then post some info about the Buzzard in an app group and then enjoy the rest of my lazy Sunday.

What a change, waking up in the morning and asking yourself:

“What can I do today to make myself happy?”

Why don’t you do the same for the coming week and feel the magical difference?

With love,
Elke )O( The Alder Scrolls /|\

Waning Moon in Rowan

My Moon message does not appear until the last minute of this Moon period. During the Full Moon my attention was needed elsewhere. Sometimes you are just a mother who, like a Lioness, has to stand up for the well-being and safety of her child. In a few days it will be the New Moon again and how beautiful is it that the Moon invites you to let go. What you can leave behind in this Moon period, you can find in the attached picture.

I wish you all a liberating and inspiring Moon in Rowan.

With love,
Elke )O( The Alder Scrolls /|\
