Visualize Your Best Days


 



You heard many of times we are who we believe we are. It sound kind of corny but actually those words are the truth. How we see ourselves is what we reflect out to others. It's not just  our appearance that it has it's most affect.  Our whole life can come impaired if we believe our lives are not what we want it to be. So we must start seeing our lives with qualities of progressing and not regressing. We attract what we give out. If we give out negative energy as sadness, anger, defeat than the people we attract will be the same way. 

A man's character is known by the kind of company he keeps. - Proverbs 13:20 

If we decide to visualize positive things in our lives like being happy, smiling, being satisfied in our condition, expecting greater and a change for the better we will have the company of those believers. 

You see we have the power to manifest greatness or insignificance. 

Associate with same like people who support your vision, who accept and love you for you, and as my grandmother said feeding those who mean you no good give them a long handle spoon. When you visualize happiness, you don't need someone wishing you the worst. 

I was once like you saying it's not true that I can not  change my life. Those was the wrong words. You have all the power to change your life if the creator agrees. I believe in a God. This spiritual belief that is learned through many cultures and religion seen to proven itself. One way we can start changing the things we don't like about our lives is to start to see it in our mind's eye. When some people hear of the mind's eye they think of it, as some scary occult third eye magic. It's not that at all. I am a Christian and my bible reads: 

"And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. [3] For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."

Habakkuk 

Did you hear that before you journal and make a goal? Write the vision!

There was a vision first. There was an idea, a plan, an option. It was a vision. 

The Christian bible teaches we are made in God's image. One thing we all can understand in this biblical story of Genesis that when God spoke  things was created.  So our God thought and spoke. So being created like Him we have the power in our minds to create long as it stays in the order of God's plan for our lives. 

Am I'm prescribing you to go home and daydream all day of wishes? No.

We all know with mediation and prayer without works is dead. One thing we believe in  Metaphysical Science is that our thoughts correspond to the emotional energies that discharge into the auric shield in the universe.  For us Christians reaching the omniscient God.

Yes sometimes things Is What It Is at the present, but believing, visualizing , praying God gives those words back "So It Is." We are rewarded what was tarry so long. 

It all starts from the way we think. The way we vision things to be. We do know that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. 

My own story I will share with you. After high school I wanted a degree in something because my parents had dreams to be college graduates. During the their times things was not as open for those who was known as Negros.  Singing was my first choice and maybe a teacher.  I find myself in courses that was far beyond my dreams. I didn't care because I wanted more than a college certificate. I wanted a paper that said degree. After becoming disable from my present work, I took classes that was for my interest. I claim after looking at a goal list I made years ago, I am never getting a degree. I am never going back to any college and waste my time.  You see I had enough earned college hours that I had enough for a two year degree going toward my four years. None of it added up since I was move here and there. I had jumble mess of nothing. 

I decided to leave that goal, vision I wrote in a file 13.  A file of never mind Lord, it was not your plans.  So eager to want to be on YouTube and wanting subscribers. I wanted fans and somehow meet a new guy,  I saw this degree google out of no where. I fought for nights wanting to do it and not do it.  I wrestle within myself, that I was making a fool of myself again. 

I took  a chance after 28 years  I have earned a B. S. It was nothing I planned at all. I was creating a resume online, when I looked over my resume I think I have more than thirty certificates. I have  tons of earned college hours.  Finally, the one thing I said never mind, although I never stop believing and loving Him. I now have. 

If you feel down. If you are sad and depress. I will tell you change your vibes.  

If things not going well learn to be satisfied. Don't lesson to others but follow what's inside. 

What might seen evil to someone else might not at all be evil. You see I thought I was going to learn a lot of occult stuff and western beliefs.  I learned more on being Christ Consciousness.

Tarot for Songwriters


 TAROT FOR SONGWRITERS

By Sheryl 



What one thing that tarot and rocking roll have in common? Rock and roll music was called the work of the devil in 1967 and tarot also in the 60’s and 70’s was known as evil. They both had a bad reputation of being  wicked. Over time many have changed their view on music and tarot. 

After watching The Simple Tarot blog for the first draft for writers using tarot, as a songwriter and lyricist I knew that this could be done. As an experienced songwriter you can understand the format easily. For our audience who is interested in giving lyric writing a test drive we will shuffle the cards for a chorus which will be I’ll hook. That is the part of the song that seems to repeat itself in most songs that are not so complex. Next we will shuffle cards for verse one and verse two. Once you feel comfortable you can add an extra verse or who knows you might want to study songwriting like I have done for years from journaling as a child wanting to be a singer to a mature adult who wants to pitch her first hit song. Please note you don’t have to be a vocalist to  be a songwriter.  


  1. Prepare for your reading as you do in all your reading. Maybe it’s cleansing your deck or mediation.

  2. After you have chosen your deck, you are ready to ask your cards about the chorus. 


.









You may choose one card, three cards or any spread you like. I like to let the spirit lead me and intuition. If one card jumps out as shuffling, that will be my card(s) I will interpret for this song. A major arcana card will start our chorus but most of all it was only one card. The card is  Judgment. I think the song will be called  Moving On as found as one of the keywords for De La Nuit tarot deck by Carole Anne Eschenazi. 


Chorus:

I’m MOVING ON

I’m MOVING ON

We made it to this crossroad 

I can’t take it no more

I’m MOVING ON
I’m MOVING ON

I need to purge my soul

I’m fixing what was tore

I’m MOVING ON

I’m MOVING ON

You made me but I’m only keeping the best


As the tarot book explains that this judgment means moving on, it could be a crossroad and purging one’s soul. That’s a simple rebirth. Remember a song is a story told with rhythm with most not exceeding three minutes and thirty seconds. 



This time I shuffled the cards and asked what will be my verse one for this song?

As I shuffled there were actually three cards that popped out of my hands while dealing. Please take note if you like spreading the cards, picking randomly, or just seeing which cards just want to pop out into your song is your choice. I allow the cards to pop out. Make that personal connection with your deck. Since our chorus was unstable and three cards popped out I chose to keep the verse stable. No more than six lines. This creates a stable verse for our song. 

6 swords can mean being regretful, letting go and in love moving from a relationship.

5 wands meaning of arguments fights this song well to say it was a card to pop out for a good pop song. The lyrics I used from my intuition fits nicely to know in love there is a conflict.

9 cups  give us the feeling of being stable, wanting satisfaction.

So refer back to your tarot book for the card. Make a connection and look at the details that catch your eyes. Listen to the intuitive message for your verse.


Verse 1 

I’m letting go of the past    …. 6 swords

I’m gonna miss alot of things…6 swords

We can’t understand each other 5 wands

Is it possible to have a conversation at last  5 wands

I know that money isn’t everything….9 cups

I just want to be happy with a lover …. 9 cups


It’s normal for songwriters to keep all verse stable in their songs. So I am going to use six lines.

I chose to let the cards land how they choose, let them pop out. There were only two cards. So that means I will be writing three lines to keep six lines in the verse. The two cards are 

2 Pentacles

Page of Pentacles.


I found that to be magical since both cards are from the same group. Most of all the elements of earth. This girl or guy is back to earth from that relationship illusion they were in. 


Verse 2


Tonight I look like a princess( 2 pentacles)

It’s only when I let you go (2 pentacles)

Finding a balance only made me look my best,,,,,,,,2 pentacles

I’m only thinking of success,,,,,,Page of pentacles

Trying to reclaim all my goals,,,,,,,,Page of pentacles

Even though your love put me to the test,,,,,,,,Page of pentacles



So you see from my example an easily completed song using tarot and my intuition. As tarot readers, whether using it for special occasions, business, or just everyday life. A songwriter too can use it. Everyone who’s up for a new craft. So as a songwriter let me now show you the finished work. 


Verse 1 

I’m letting go of the past   

I’m gonna miss alot of things

We can’t understand each other 

Is it possible to have a conversation at last

 I know that money isn’t everything

I just want to be happy with a lover 


Chorus:

I’m MOVING ON

I’m MOVING ON

We made it to this crossroad 

I can’t take it no more

I’m MOVING ON
I’m MOVING ON

I need to purge my soul

I’m fixing what was tore

I’m MOVING ON

I’m MOVING ON

You made me but I’m only keeping the best


Verse 2

Tonight I look like a princess

It’s only when I let you go

Finding a balance only made me look my best

I’m only thinking of success

Trying to reclaim all my goals

Even though your love put me to the test


Chorus:

I’m MOVING ON

I’m MOVING ON

We made it to this crossroad 

I can’t take it no more

I’m MOVING ON
I’m MOVING ON

I need to purge my soul

I’m fixing what was tore

I’m MOVING ON

I’m MOVING ON

You made me but I’m only keeping the best
