Taking a Leap of Faith in Love, Life and Travel; Venus enters Sagittarius!
Corner Of Light's Angel Card Message For December 17 ,2020
Eight ways to SAVE $$Money$$ when calling a Psychic Reader....
1. Cut out polite conversation. If you were my neighbor that would be rude. But you're not my neighbor, you're my paying client and it's silly for you to pay for "how are you doing today?" "Oh pretty good, how about you?" "blah, blah, blah."
2. Quit telling us the story first. For one thing, if you tell me you just had a fight, then I see in the cards he thinks you're mad at him, how can you know what I said was psychic? If you tell us what's going on first, there is no way to know if we're being psychic or just logical. Better to say, "This is Jenny, how's Bill feeling towards me today?" Or "Am I going to lose my job?" Think about it... which call costs less: Questions and answers? Or you tell me the background story first, then questions and answers?
3. Quit calling psychics that ask you more questions than you ask them. It should go without saying, but it doesn't. Really, a clarifying question on occasion is one thing, but calls where they're just digging you... that's money unwisely spent.
4. Grab free minutes when and where you can. I'm not the only one here who gives free minutes to first time callers. I'm not the only one here who gives you free minutes for referrals. But the best way to find out is to ask. The occasional 'no' won't hurt you, but three or four free minutes is a full reading if you don't waste time. :)
5. Nothing is more important than accuracy, and speed is a close second. That's where you get the most bang for your buck. Those of you who are already my clients know me, some answers fly out before you've finished the question. Other times you'll hear me mutter for five or ten seconds as I figure out what I'm seeing... in all cases, as soon as I 'get it', I share it. If you run on to a reader who seems to be stretching the call though that's a big red flag.
6. Use a timer. I know it sounds crazy, but I love giving one minute readings as much as I love giving 20 minute readings. What I hate are calls that are interrupted repeatedly for you to add money minute by minute. So for everyone's sake, use a timer, not the minute by minute addition of money. It's so irritating I've actually blocked callers that always do it. I like money as much as the next person, but I live to be accurate and I love being sane.
7. When you can, bundle your questions.
"I've got three men written down here, what can I expect this week from each of them?" or "I've sent my resume to 4 different places I've written down here, which ones will I get?" "I'm trying to decide between 2 different cars, will it be the first one I saw or the second one?" If you've written them down I just shuffle and read the answers row by row. I used to be a party girl and every weekend I would read which clubs I would have more fun at in about two minutes. Bundling the questions save time and increases clarity, because each answer is relative to the others.
8. Take notes with all of us and only call the ones back who are mostly hitting it right. Take good clear notes. It's easy to filter my actual words "he's going to call you in either two weeks or two days, one or the other" down to your hope... "He's calling me in two days!!" Then when he calls exactly two weeks later, some would say - "well she was way off, she said it would only be two days!" These misunderstandings don't happen if you take notes or record the call.
No matter how good I am at reading, no matter how well you take notes... I will still sometimes be wrong because I am human and as such I can make a mistake now and then. But I swear without notes some of you don't remember the readings as well as I remember your futures! The way to get the most accuracy for the least money is by taking notes with all of us and only calling back the ones that are mostly hitting it right.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Strong Women Are Built Up By Storms
Strong Women Are Built Up By The Storms They Have Been Through
Faery Blessings:
Short
and sweet today...this is for strong women and even men can apply it to
their lives as well so with that being said, enjoy today's message
from consciousreminder .com and Be Blessed!
"For
most of us, life is pretty difficult. But we learn to persevere
nonetheless. It is only the strongest among us who can brave the
harshest of storms and emerge victorious.
Such strong women learn from their past and make sure that all that they have endured gives way to a stronger and smarter version of themselves.
Such strong women are not only powerful but also very independent and inspiring. Here are 7 signs that indicate you are one such strong woman who can conquer the world any day!
1. You Believe In Yourself
When you spend so much time figuring out how to get around trouble, you learn a great deal about your own self. You learn to trust your instincts and have faith in yourself.
2. You Learn From Your Pain
If you are a strong woman, you surely learn from your struggles and keep fighting with that knowledge. Your failures are your stepping stones and you will not stop till you reach your goal.
3. You Know Your Worth
Since you know yourself so well, you don’t hesitate to acknowledge your flaws. You know what motivates you and what you want to achieve at the end of the day. You would rather focus on improving yourself than waste time comparing yourself with others.
4. You Don’t Seek Attention
Strong women seek respect, not cheap attention. You won’t waste your time where you are not given your due respect nor would you belittle yourself by explaining why you deserve that respect. If people don’t give you your due respect but rather shower you with fake compliments, you will not hesitate to leave them behind.
5. You Are Honest
Being so pure in your intentions, you will always be honest with your feelings. The truth is often harsh but strong women never sugarcoat their words. Brutal honesty is better than a fake illusion, every strong woman believes.
6. You Are Not Afraid Of Being Vulnerable
Being a strong woman, you are not afraid of showing your vulnerable side. Even after all the storms you have faced, you still retain your humanity and are not afraid of showing it.
7. You Are Still Kind And Forgiving
Holding a grudge is just a waste of time and energy for strong women. Strong women would rather focus on forgiving and moving ahead than holding on to the negativity. You know how to learn from your mistakes and you want to help others to learn from theirs. This makes sure you forgive all those who wrong you.
How many signs did you relate to? Even if you don’t meet all the signs, you are still great as a person. You can always work on yourself and be the best version. Don’t let the negativity of the world influence you. Rise above it all."
Gods Grace, Mercy, Peace, Love & Abundance Be Upon All Your Days I Pray!

Arriana's Daily Tarot ! Thursday December 17th !!
Saturn has entered Aquarius!
During the month of December we will have an opportunity to see Saturn and Jupiter side by side in the night sky! This is because Saturn and Jupiter will conjunct, or be side by side this month offering a once in a lifetime opportunity to see them. The best evening to look is December 21st, but they will be visible at other times as well. To read more about how to see these planets click here.
Saturn and Jupiter will be visible to the naked eye, but they also have major significance in astrology as they only meet up every 20 years. This marks the beginning of an entirely new cycle, and a new time in our lives and in the collective. We are leaving the old story and a lot of baggage behind. Consolidate your losses now, and there is no point in dragging your past with you into the future. It’s time for a new approach and viewpoint. What will your new story be?
Saturn enters Aquarius
December 17th, Saturn enters Aquarius changing energy and our focus dramatically over the next 2 and half years. Saturn is called the taskmaster in astrology and is typically concerned with boundaries, work and achievement. Saturn teaches people to work through limitations, obligations and adversity. There is always a focus on the sign and house Saturn travels through both in our personal charts and on a global level. If Saturn makes easy aspects we have gain with a great deal of work. If Saturn makes harsher aspects with other planets we typically have some type of obstacle to overcome. Saturn last transited through Aquarius February 6, 1991-January 29, 1994. If you are old enough to remember this time you may have an idea as to how this Saturn cycle will affect you on a personal level.
Aquarius is a futuristic sign that builds with a vision toward the future. The planetary rulers of Aquarius are Saturn and Uranus. Saturn represents structures and building but Uranus is the planet of technology, cutting edge medicines, science, and ideas that are at times of a genius nature and quality. But, Uranus is also unpredictable, changeable and in some cases explosive, so some unexpected situations will also arise next few years as well.
Aquarius rules the 11th house or the collective and groups. During this Saturn period we will all be working to find our own place within the collective and with Saturn in this sign, the collective will make their voices heard. This Saturn cycle will bring more structure in the way we deal with the pandemic, among other things. Aquarius is connected with humanity and those things we all share as inhabitants of the planet. This includes the planet itself and issues of survival such as enough food, healthcare and a desire to build our own life on our terms within the collective, as well as the betterment of mankind.
Aquarius is revolutionary, rebellious and analytical, detached and employs reason over emotionally based decisions and ideas. Aquarius is not afraid to question the powers that be while putting the collective welfare at the top of ideals and plans.
Aquarius is connected to science and academics and allegiance to ideas or doctrines which can turn out well, or badly. Aquarius is about moving away from strict dogmas and doctrines that only approach things in one way. This energy will be more open and all encompassing.
The darker side of Aquarius is that it can be erratic, self-absorbed, tactless and more focused on the collective rather than individuals. Aquarius is an Air sign so as reason supersedes emotion Aquarius is not known for its personal warmth. Abraham Lincoln was one of the most famous Aquarians and his focus was clearly on the collective as he led the US through the Civil War of the 1880’s.
In 2021 Saturn will square Uranus three times: the weeks of February 14th and February 21st, the week of June 13th and the final week of the year or the week of December 25th. Saturn-Uranus cycles are associated with changes in finance, the financial markets and money. Many global changes may occur at this time of an unexpected nature. Uranus rules aircraft, technology, coups and revolutions and explosive and unpredictable events. In 2008, Saturn opposed Uranus. In 2000 Saturn squared Uranus. At that time Saturn was in Taurus and Uranus in Aquarius. This coincided with the burst of the dot com bubble.
Jupiter enters Aquarius
Jupiter is the planet of gain and expansion, optimism and abundance and joins Saturn in Aquarius two days after Saturn enters the same sign or December 19th. Jupiter in Aquarius is futuristic, revolutionary and concerned with fairness and social justice. Jupiter’s expansive and freewheeling nature will work well in the sign that is concerned with humanitarian interests, independence, freedom and innovation. All of this will be far different energy than Jupiter/Saturn in Capricorn we have experienced over the past year. We will be more concerned with new ideas, novel approaches and doing things our own way. We will also be leaving a lot of baggage behind us as we begin a new chapter in our own lives as well as the collective.
Jupiter conjuncts Saturn in Aquarius
On December 21st Jupiter meets up in the sky with Saturn and the two form a conjunction which means they are together or side by side. This is one of the most important cycles in terms of major changes in the world, and civilization. Some astrologers consider this cycle the foundation upon which the world is built. It has been said this cycle is considered the ground base of human development which marks the interaction between the perception of ideas, potentialities and the manifestation of ideas in the concrete material world. We well feel and see the results of these two energies in the weeks before and after the planets are conjunct. Jupiter joins Saturn once every 20 years.
The Saturn-Jupiter conjunctions occur in the same element for long periods of time. This 20 year conjunction marks a 200 year change from the Earth signs-Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn to Air signs which is very significant. In the future we will be dealing with the element of Air. This will bring information to the forefront of things to an even greater degree than it already is. We are entering uncharted territory and a new era. What could the Great conjunction mean for us personally?
-New alliances and friendships
-We may become more tolerant of others.
-We will be working to find our own individual place within the collective.
-New ideas and concepts. We should guard against strict dogmatic attitudes, which would miss the point of the Aquarian expansiveness.
-More personal structure and awareness in dealing with Covid.
-New visions that lead to new projects.
-Being a part of the cutting edge in technology, medicines, entertainment or another field.
-A larger than previous vision of something we will work toward.
-Feeling freer to be ourselves.
-A greater awareness of the suffering of others and doing something about it.
-Becoming an advocate of freedom and equality for all.
-Unexpected new awakenings and directions.
-Giving or receiving unexpected forgiveness.
-Starting an online business.

Chinese Fortune Stick Reading of the Day
In the moonlight the boat floated among the stars,
Bringing together lovers that fate has set apart.
For her love he became a distant planet.
Nobody knows how much he has suffered.
TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION
It is time to look around for chances for profit, friendship, or romance. While an element of deceit may be involved, you are likely to form strong new bonds soon. Your plans will be realized, provided you are prepared to work hard for them. Physically, you will likely remain fit and healthy, but somebody close to you may fall ill. Visitors are likely to arrive soon, probably with good news.
REFLECTION
Stories of ill-fated lovers turned into stars that are allowed to meet occasionally are great favorites in China. The moral is that some loves are fated not to be fulfilled, but that love is nevertheless of boundless worth. It may be that fate frustrates your plans, but still hold true to that which you have glimpsed.
Each day I sit down, take up the cup of sticks and ask the same question, “What does the Keen community need to know or hear today?” I shake the cup until a stick (or 2 or 3…) falls out. I then post the stick number and the meanings for you to get what you can out of them.
The sticks themselves are a form of I-Ching. There are a total of 64 sticks in the set that I use* with a poem and small interpretation/story to go along with each stick. The poems, meanings and reflections are meant to be read and (as a good friend of mine once said) marinated in. In our culture, we’ve grown accustomed to getting instant gratification. In other words, we’re used to everything being given to us with little or no work on our parts. These readings are the exact opposite of that type of attitude.
Chinese Fortune sticks are meant to make us slow down and reflect on what is being said. As each sticks’ meaning can be profoundly personal to each person who reads them, it’s more important for you to read them rather than have someone give you a watered down version. These readings are meant to sing to a level of your consciousness and bring you a measure of peace, or at least enlightenment.
The best way to get the most you can out of these readings is to approach them with an open mind. Before sitting down to read that morning’s reading, make some quiet time for yourself. Sit still for a moment and clear your mind. Silence the chatter in your head and take a few deep breaths, letting them out slowly. Once you feel yourself slow down a little (or a lot), read through the reading of the day. Go over it a few times if you feel the need. Then take a moment, sit back and think about what that reading means for you. Some will be very straightforward; others require a bit more thinking. Either way, let the reading from the sticks guide you that day on the decisions or experiences you have. These aren’t meant to tell you what to think, but rather to help you look at things in a different way or to allow you to access truths you already have.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me!!

Your Moment of Zen
How I do my readings & what to expect.
Before I log onto Keen I always take a few minutes to meditate and clear my mind, this starts my workday off in a positive and healthy mindset.
When I receive a call or chat, I always will start off with a “Hello” and ask how I can help you.
I do not require birth dates, but they are welcomed. I will ask your name and the name of any people involved in the reading. If you are uncomfortable giving me the persons name, you can use initials or a nickname you have for the person.
You are not required to give me any details or backstory, however, it is easier for me to describe what I’m seeing in more detail if I understand the situation. As always, I want you to feel comfortable with what you share.
I always shuffle while you speak/type, and I may flip cards while you talk in order to gain some insight and details into the situation.
When you have asked a question, I will give you the answer. I may word the question differently in order to make it more clear. I may also explain why I get the answer I am seeing, sometimes a card name, or a brief description of the combination of cards that led me to the answer.
If you asked a timing question, please understand that timing is incredibly difficult to predict. If I get a clear number or timeframe I will always tell you. If I don’t get a clear number or timeframe, I won’t push for one as it likely won’t be as accurate. I wish I knew 100% why timing is so difficult, but I don’t. If I had to give a reason, I would say it’s because there are many paths you can take to get to the same place.
I am happy to explain any of the cards or spreads I am using, just know this may take more time.
Usually, this process is pretty fast. I pride myself in the ability to not only shuffle and speak fast but to type quickly as well. How long you talk, and what you choose to ask is your decision. I am happy to do long, and short readings. You will always get the same attention and care, no matter how long the reading.
I will never do medical, legal, or lottery questions. This includes asking about pregnancy, paternity, and court outcomes. I also won’t ask about pet health, please if your pet is sick visit a veterinarian.At my own discretion, I may feel uncomfortable with certain questions. If I have told you I will not answer that question, please do not push. No matter how you word it, I still won’t answer these questions. It’s better to not waste your time trying to get an answer I won’t give you.
I have been reading for a long time, I know my limits and how to separate my feelings and emotions from yours, I know how to clear my energy. Because of this, it’s easy for me to give many readings in a row. After a long reading, I may take another meditation break. Feel free to put me on callback!
I am always happy to answer any questions about what I see, how I conduct my readings, and what to expect.
Some tips:
Before you call or chat:
1. If you are feeling some high emotions, take a moment to take some deep breaths or meditate. It’s never fun to feel upset, but it happens. I can feel when you’re upset, and It can make it difficult for me to concentrate.
2. Find a quiet space to get your reading. This is your reading, you deserve to have some quiet time during it.
3. Have some questions ready. It’s fine if you want to see where the reading takes us, it’s always a good idea to make sure your important questions get answered along the way.
During the call or chat:
1. Speak clearly and kindly. I understand when emotions are high it’s easy to get frustrated. I will always speak to you with kindness and respect, please do the same for me.
2. Don’t worry about any spelling mistakes during chat. I understand when we’re trying to type quickly technology doesn’t always make it easy, I won’t judge you.
3. Don’t worry about asking me how I am doing, this is about you! I will answer if you ask, but let’s keep it simple.
4. Have a notepad ready if you want to remember the reading more clearly. I will never get upset if you take notes.
5. Have fun! I am here to help you and give you answers. I also understand that sometimes the answers are funny or unusual. It’s alright to laugh, or even joke.
After the reading:
1. Take a few moments to reflect on how you feel. Readings can bring up a lot of emotions. You may feel a wide array of complex emotions, take a moment to truly feel them and accept those feelings for what they are.
2. Have a great day! After our reading, make sure you get back to your daily life. It’s fun and insightful to get a reading, but it can’t be with us the whole day.
3. Leave feedback only if you want. I do not require feedback to be left. It is nice to hear how I can do better, or what I did great. Check out the feedback policy before you leave it, feedback should only be left for that specific reading. Any technical problems should be reported to Keen, and not left on feedback for an advisor.
I look forward to talking with you soon!
Many Blessings

Arriana's Daily Tarot ! Friday December 18th !!
SMUDGING WITH SAGE
I generally do this once a week in my home, daily if need be. But I also cleanse clients homes, monthly. Also it is a good idea to smudge when you move in or out of a new home, office or space! Occasionally you may have a guest over that has way too much negative vibes and energy, it is a good time to do this when they leave!
Smudging is burning herbs, generally bundled sticks made up of various herbs, to purify, heal, bless, renew energy, and cleanse negative energy from spaces, objects, and people. Smudging might also help if you are feeling ill, depressed, angry, or resentful; after an argument; or if you feel a negative presence or entities in your home, etc.
White sage is generally used in smudging to clear and consecrate space. Its smoke is said to draw positive spirits and discourage the presence of unwanted energies. You should be able to find it and the smudges listed below at a local metaphysical or new age store or on-line, and you should use a new stick/bundle each time you perform a smudging/cleansing if you are removing negative entities from your home. However, you might wish to use a more powerful smudge of Copal or Palo Santo to clear energies that are more stubborn, persistent, negative, and/or heavy. Palo Santo comes in wooden sticks. To use a stick, light one end; it will go out on its own; and then, fan the smoke around yourself or your space to clear negative energies. Copal is a resin and comes in three varieties that are linked to their level of strength – White for blessings, gold for manifestations, and black to clear out dark energies. To burn this resin, you will need to place it upon a pre-lit, charcoal disk inside a container that is heat resistant and fireproof.
CAUTION: People or animals with breathing problems such as asthma should not stay in or enter the area being smudged until the smoke has completed cleared away.
Step One
If you are smudging a space/home, open all of the windows and doors before you begin. Next, set an overall intention for the space you wish to cleanse, and for each room if there is more than one, and breathe slowly and deeply while thinking about your intention. Say a prayer of cleansing such as, “I cleanse my home of any impurities, negativity, or energy that does not serve or support my home. I expel unwanted entities, I am grateful for the shelter my roof provides, and for the love these walls hold.” Speaking your prayer or blessing out loud allows the power and energy of your voice to declare and direct the energy; you may say any type of prayer or blessing you like from simple to elaborate as long as it is meaningful to you.
Step Two
Light the smudge stick until it catches fire then extinguish the flame by gently blowing it out and let the smoke billow from the stick/bundle like incense. Use a bowl, ashtray, abalone shell (traditional), or other nonflammable container to catch falling embers or ashes.
Step Three
Cleanse yourself before you begin to smudge your home, etc. Fan the smoke gently around your body from head to toe and imagine the smoke creating waves of positive energy that flow all over you. Envision the smoke carrying away any negativity (i.e. anger, stress, etc.) that surrounds you and replacing it with a deep sense of calmness and contentment.
Step Four
Smudge your home one room at a time; start at the front door and fan the smoke gently by waving the stick over and around the door while blessing everyone who enters and stating that only beautiful and positive energy is allowed to enter. While you do this, imagine that the smoke is absorbing all of the toxicity, problems, negativity as well as any other energy you wish to eliminate. Next, do the same for all of the other doors and windows, again stating that only energy that is healing, beautiful, blessing, full of light, etc. is allowed to enter. As you watch the smoke drift out of the windows and dissipate, imagine the negative energy leaving with it and making room for fresh, positive energy. Now move from room to room smudging areas that may contain strong negative feelings. Make sure to get the smoke behind doors, along walls and ceiling and wall joints, and in corners and small spaces such as cupboards and crawlspaces where energy tends to get “trapped.” Bless each and every room and allow the smoke to carry any negative energy away.
Step Five
Once you have finished blessing every room, cleanse yourself with the smudge stick by cupping your hands over the smoke and waving it around your body and face as you would when washing with water. Imagine any residual negative energy leaving your body and home and flying away leaving room for only positive energy.
Step Six
Pause and feel the energy of your home now. It should feel very clear, light, and spacious.
Step Seven
Once you have completed your smudging, walk out of your front or back door, close it, and smudge around the door and door frame. Then express appreciation for the success of your blessing and extinguish your smudge stick by gently dipping the stick into a bowl of wet sand or water to ensure that it is extinguished.
Step Eight
If weather permits, stay outside for five minutes or so to allow the energy within your home to work reorganize itself. *Once your space is clear, routine clearing will help you keep the energy level in your space high and clear of unwanted negative energies.
Do you have negative energies affecting you and your space.. I can help.

Oracle and Tarot Reading for December 19, 2020
Chinese Fortune Stick Reading of the Day
Seeing that as you sow, so shall you also reap.
There is no use praying to Heaven for your sins.
You will only find redemption in righteous living.
TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION
Words are of no use without deeds to accompany them. You should try to settle the problems you have now, and (as always) kind deeds are the best way to assure a good fortune. Wealth and status are beyond your reach at the moment, but personal relationships are more favored by fate. Sickness will only pass if you seek some medical assistance.
REFLECTION
This poem seems to echo the words of Jesus. Not only did He say you reap what you sow, but He also said that those who simply prayed would not enter Heaven; only those who cared for the sick, the poor, those in prison, for example, would get there. This poem says the same. Forget religious practices and rituals, meditation or crystal gazing. Unless you live a life of service to others, how can you expect Heaven's favors?
Each day I sit down, take up the cup of sticks and ask the same question, “What does the Keen community need to know or hear today?” I shake the cup until a stick (or 2 or 3…) falls out. I then post the stick number and the meanings for you to get what you can out of them.
The sticks themselves are a form of I-Ching. There are a total of 64 sticks in the set that I use* with a poem and small interpretation/story to go along with each stick. The poems, meanings and reflections are meant to be read and (as a good friend of mine once said) marinated in. In our culture, we’ve grown accustomed to getting instant gratification. In other words, we’re used to everything being given to us with little or no work on our parts. These readings are the exact opposite of that type of attitude.
Chinese Fortune sticks are meant to make us slow down and reflect on what is being said. As each sticks’ meaning can be profoundly personal to each person who reads them, it’s more important for you to read them rather than have someone give you a watered down version. These readings are meant to sing to a level of your consciousness and bring you a measure of peace, or at least enlightenment.
The best way to get the most you can out of these readings is to approach them with an open mind. Before sitting down to read that morning’s reading, make some quiet time for yourself. Sit still for a moment and clear your mind. Silence the chatter in your head and take a few deep breaths, letting them out slowly. Once you feel yourself slow down a little (or a lot), read through the reading of the day. Go over it a few times if you feel the need. Then take a moment, sit back and think about what that reading means for you. Some will be very straightforward; others require a bit more thinking. Either way, let the reading from the sticks guide you that day on the decisions or experiences you have. These aren’t meant to tell you what to think, but rather to help you look at things in a different way or to allow you to access truths you already have.

AFTER A 26 YEAR HIATUS; SATURN ENTERS AQUARIUS!!!
We Are Connected!
We Are All Connected!
Faery Blessings:
If we all could stop and realize that we are all connected we would be more careful about what we say or do or put out there in the world, knowing that something we do will inadvertently affecting someone elses life...just food for thought there..with that being said, enjoy today's message from dailyom .com and Be Blessed!
"Being aware of the connection between all things can help you in terms of the broader effect you may be creating.
There are times when we may feel disconnected from the world. Our actions can seem like they are of no major consequence, and we may feel like we exist in our own vacuum. Yet, the truth is that our simplest thought or action -- the decisions we make each day, and how we see and relate to the world -- can be incredibly significant and have a profound impact on the lives of those around us, as well as the world at large. The earth and everything on it is bound by an invisible connection between people, animals, plants, the air, the water, and the soil. Insignificant actions on your part, whether positive or negative, can have an impact on people and the environment that seem entirely separate from your personal realm of existence. Staying conscious of the interconnection between all things can help you think of your choices and your life in terms of the broader effect you may be creating.
Think of buying a wooden stool. The wood was once part of a tree which is part of a forest. A person was paid to fell the tree, another to cut the wood, and yet another to build the stool. Their income may have had a positive effect on their families, just as the loss of the tree may have had a negative impact on the forest or the animals that made that tree their home. An encouraging word to a young child about their special talent can influence this person to develop their gift so that one day their inventions can change the lives of millions. A poem written "merely" to express oneself can make a stranger reading it online from thousands of miles away feel less alone because there is someone else out there who feels exactly the way they do.
Staying conscious of your connection to all things can help you think of your choices in terms of their impact. We are powerful enough that what we do and say can reverberate through the lives of people we may never meet. Understanding that you are intimately connected with all things and understanding your power to affect our world can be the first step on the road to living more consciously."
