The third essential is constructive mental action. Every action of the mind should have something desirable in view and should have a definite, positive aim. Train yourself to face the sunshine of life regardless of circumstances. When you face the sunshine, everything looks right, and when everything looks right, you will think right. It matters not whether there is any sunshine in life just now or not. We must think of sunshine just the same. If we do not see any silver lining, we must create one in our own mental vision. However dark the dark side may seem to be, we cannot afford to see anything but the bright side, and no matter how small or insignificant the bright side may be, we must continue to focus attention on that side alone.

Pattern making

Today we pattern made some pleats, we used the band pattern piece from another style and made some pleats. We had to make the skirt up in paper so we could see how it looks before cutting material. I was happy to have a paper skirt

Qaulity of listening

New Age Sayings!

The funny thing is living where I do, in my part of the world I hear and see all of these all the time, but must say I am only 50% guilty of most of them!! HHAHA

8 of Swords - Tarot Meaning

The Eight of Swords: Break Free!

Hi Sam. The Eight of Swords is the Tarot card to help us when we get stuck. Are you stuck right now? It happens to all of us sooner or later. You could be in a bad job or relationship, in debt, or maybe just feeling unable to make a decision. All these situations lead us to ask the same important question. How can I break free?

The secret answer hidden in this card is that we must use the swords to free ourselves. When you look closely at this card, you will see that the person only appears trapped. It is true that they are surrounded by swords but there is nothing stopping them grabbing one of the swords and using it to free themselves and escape!

In Tarot, swords symbolise clarity of thought and considered action. Where do you need more insight in your life and what do you need to realise? Each of the eight swords has a special purpose. The first four swords help us see and the second four swords help us act. Would you like to use them?

Insight: Acknowledging the problem and coming out of denial, accepting what is within your control and what is not, understanding the role you played in creating the situation, and inquiring why you allow the situation to continue.

Action: Understanding the deeper spiritual reason why you are having this experience, allowing the possibility of a better future in your life, identifying what steps need to be taken and decision made, and taking the courage to do what is called for in the situation.

If you are feeling stuck, trapped and unsure about what to do next, come and chat with me. Together we will use the swords to help you find guidance and clarity and as a psychic I will help you shine a light to see ahead. Remember you do have choices and you do have power. No matter how trapped you are, there is a way out.

Love,

Anna
