YOUR WEEKLY MANTRA ~ I AM A FORCE OF NATURE www.tatianascavnicky.com

I was blown away by Louie Schwartzberg's work featured on one of my favorite networks OWN. He is a time lapse photographer. In the short film "Grateful" his work is captured in the opening of a flower. He said, we see it as not moving but it is always moving. I was awed by the hummingbird who can float midair and a monarch butterfly migration he filmed. 

It made me think of how we often feel as if our lives are not moving towards what we want or our deepest desires. When things feel as if they are stuck, or nothing big has happened. How we might beat ourselves up for not being where we think we should be, yet inside us a great and powerful force exists. The same spirit that exists in nature, in the beauty of the stillness of a sunset and the quiet of the morning is in us. The water that over time erodes the rocks around it, slowly day after day to make a new path. 

Here is the film in it's entirety WATCHGRATITUDE FILM 
And here is a the hummingbird footage from his appearance on Oprah. 


You are a Force of Nature even if it feels as if you are standing still.

☽✩☾ Full Moon Oracle Card Reading December 2014 ☽✩☾ www.tatianascavnicky.com

The Full Moon in Gemini brings with it ideas and inspiration. Gemini is the sign of communication and expression. It's an Air sign bringing in light and space to want you want. Your desires can take flight. Think over what you really want...ponder. This is a good moon for journaling. On one side of the page write what you want to get rid of. On the other side list what you'd like to have happen...what you want to manifest. Don't hold back let it flow. Ideas for renovating your home, or decorating, family trips or activities, work related ideas...anything. Let it rip. 

The Full Moon is for letting go. Then ask yourself if I released these things...what would that open for me? Yes YOU...this Full Moon is your truth...YOUR mojo...what you need and want.

Oracle Card #1 ~ Honoring Your True Feelings

Why do you want what you want? How would it make you feel? Take those thoughts and feelings and make them your truth serum. If you want to work less because you would feel more free and have more time...create an affirmation, a statement of intention. "I am free in so many ways and I can create more time for myself." Then stew in that. That's your truth and what you need. You'll soon magically see hours that open up, being able to go home from work early, or a project that gets tabled for a later date. A loved one offers to take the kids to the store so you can have some free time. 

There are two waterfalls to either side of the fairy on this card. It symbolizes the twins of Gemini. There is lots of inspiration coming in tonight and for the next three days. The Fairy sits atop a thick rooted tree. It's time to choose and declare, in spite of what you "think" could or could not happen.

Oracle Card #2 ~ Positive Expectations

This beautiful fairy looks like she is sitting under the full moon light. The darkness here represents the void, the beginning..what has not appeared yet. It's a clean slate for manifesting. She holds her hands open. Sparkles of matter dance in her hands. Her thoughts take flight. She prays to release and to receive. Her wings have peacock feathers. Expect your true desires to be worthy and possible in the face of whatever may seem to stand in the way. How often have things changed in life, in the blink of an eye. Be proud of yourself. Expect your desires to manifest. The two waterfalls also represent co-creating with your Higher Power...with something way bigger than you. Now let them go and celebrate.

In honor of the Full Moon, Mark Watson created a special playlist streaming for free right now. Use the music while you are journaling and for your full moon ritual. I've also chosen a few meditations perfect for tonight for you!

Things "Spiritual" People Say: What the Heck Does Being Grounded Mean? www.tatianascavnicky.com

via

I get flack at times for not explaining what things like keeping your vibration high, auras and being grounded are. I am sorry! I really want you to be in-the-know and benefit from all this woo-woo. I can't tell you how many times my computer puts the red squiggly line under "spiritual" words as I write, asking me to 'add to dictionary'. Let's focus on being grounded. Focus is the perfect way to start when talking about being grounded. I did a vlog you'll find very helpful on this subject. I shared it below. To talk about what it means to be grounded, we need to start with being ungrounded. Symptoms of "ungroundedness" are feeling scattered and all up in your head. It may feel like you are detached from your body too. 

We do want to leave our bodies sometimes. We don't want to feel physical or emotional pain, or we don't want to be somewhere so we check out. If you have to spend time with people you don't like or it's an uncomfortable environment, you might leave your body and eat too much, think too much and/or drink too much. Being grounded is being present and in the moment. It means being comfortable, or super aware you are not comfortable. 

It's easier to catch "ungroundedness" in others. It shows up in a co-worker or loved one who can't concentrate or stay on one subject during conversation. Or being a passenger in the car with someone and they are not paying attention at all to driving, or what you are saying. They are all over the place and soon you are.

As a society we are not grounded. In my travels to Spain and Italy especially, because I wasn't flying from city to city on tour, I got to really experience a culture that honors a daily grounded practice. They lunch, taking the afternoon to sit, chat, maybe even nap, enjoy a drink and an espresso before returning to the second half of their day at work. 

In Kona, Hawaii it's not like that either. I think it's easier to stay grounded when the mountains and ocean are in view. Regular nature trips to a park, a cider mill and river create groundedness. Reading a book, getting a massage and eating a good meal are simple grounding methods. Chilling and grilling, and enjoying the sunset are on the list too. The key here is to stop, slow down and be present. Add a little "woo-woo" to that with...come back to right now.

If you are really aware of everyone else around you, you may not be in your body. I call being grounded occupying your body. Sensitive people often are concerned with how others are doing and feeling. They have lots of compassion. I share my free Superpower Intuitive Development series a lot because it is so helpful to know what your intuitive method is...especially if you are super-sensitive or have super-sensitive loved ones. It's a huge challenge to focus on yourself and be grounded. It can feel like you are enmeshed with everyone around you and you don't know where you start and they begin. You might feel like you have to leave. I recommend checking out my series for help on what to do if you going through this. It can be terrifying and uncomfortable! I know...but you can protect yourself and feel better in groups and busy places. I know! I am super-sensitive and it's a great quality to have when I am giving intuitive readings and for song-writing, but it took me awhile to figure out why I was so ungrounded, shy and focused on others. I still avoid big grocery stores and you will never find me at the mall on the weekend. 

Trouble concentrating and feeling anxious and not knowing why other forms of being ungrounded. It can feel like you've eaten but you still have low-blood sugar. I find that angel-lovers and meditators can often like to be in this euphoric and light space. If you've ever done yoga, the last post is called corpse pose, or shavasana. It's done to bring you back home, into your body...grounded after all that exercise. It calls for one to feel themselves totally supported by the surface beneath. 

On a serious side note, you may have a super-sensitive child who needs guidance on being grounded. I personally feel like kids are doing too much, and being run from one place and activity to another. They then get labeled as ADHD or ADD because they can't sit still in class. They will be little spinning and churning examples of us. They need downtime and stability, balanced with activity...NOT medication. This is my personal opinion. I also think diet and what's happening in the home contribute too. Science shows there are legitimate chemical imbalances, and even physiological things that cause children and people for that matter, to need medication. I probably should have Valium on hand because of my astrological birthday profile giving me an intense "mental energy". I also wasn't raised with security and stability. I left my body often to deal with abuse as many kids have. If this is resonating with you, touching you deeply, it may be time to explore what it means to be grounded .

Being grounded is feeling calm and present. You are part of what is happening around you, but in touch with yourself and your feelings. For example a co-worker may go off on tangents (most likely ungrounded) and freak out about a project or task not coming to fruition. If you are grounded you can observe what is happening over there, and not lose your concentration and focus. If you are ungrounded you might become fearful and stressed too right away, instead of discovering what can be done or not done. 

In grounding meditations I take people to a forest or sandy beach to feel the ground beneath their feet. When you get into bed at night and have that "aahhh" this feels-so-good feeling, that's groundedness. Sitting with friends enjoying good conversation and eating a lovely meal together is another example of being grounded. 

Here is a great quick and easy way to get grounded. Find a comfortable spot to sit or lay down. Lay back into a chair or into the floor beneath you. Allow yourself to relax. Feel your legs and butt touching your supportive surface. Feel your back sinking. Take a bit to feel your legs, knees, hips, waist, stomach, chest, shoulders, neck, and head. Feel your body. You are now in touch with your body. Allow yourself to completely relax and let go into this feeling of comfort, security and calm but aware presence. If you wish, and you are sitting, see your feet connected to the Earth growing roots way down deep to it's very core. Beautiful...when you are ready, rub the tips of your fingers together and shift your body a bit coming back into now. Open your eyes before you move.

How to Find The Magic In Your Life ~ Come Back To What's Important www.tatianascavnicky.com

Doing a show at Kona Rock & Mineral Crystal Shop Kona Hawaii

I am subscribed to a few different newsletters about spirituality and doing your own thing out there in the world. I am inspired often. I really like what they have to say and think hmmm maybe I should do a blog post or vlog about that? I've been doing Julia Cameron's " the Artist's Way". I am almost to Week 10 of morning pages, artist dates, exercises and reflections. The cover says it is a Course in Discovering and Recovering Your Creative Self. It has been a beyond words type of experience for me. It is MAJOR I can say that. I highly recommend it!!

I believe we came here with creative gifts and talents to be mined and shared. I have gotten so much out of TAW, I am thinking about creating a group that goes through this course together. Going through this process couldn't have come at a better time as I struggled to take care of business having to do with the flood and recover from it.

You know I've been struggling with this. You also know amazing miracles happened too. It's caused me to really look at what I spend my time on, and what is important to me. I've gotten really clear that I have a message to bring through words and songs. As of late, I see that it's also about creating a space for people to be taken away to a higher place...to joy...to bliss...to freedom. My message is about FREEDOM, doing what you love and taking great care of yourself. You can transcend your present circumstances and issues... money drama, people drama, work drama. You are free to live life on your own terms, even if you have other people to look out for and take care of.  

Through Cameron's TAW Course, I've discovered my message and music are one. I don't just want to teach and write, I want to combine it with music. I love giving audience mini-readings, and sharing what I've learned during a music performance. A concert Mark and I did for Livonia Unity recently opened my eyes on an even deeper level, to what I'm here to do. I believe life is magical and that it is there... as the quote says patiently waiting for our eyes to see. You get to create your environment and what you see. You get to say how you want to feel...in the face of problems and when things are going well. How easy it is to get into struggle, strain and the daily grind when things are good. We don't get how amazing it is to get to work safely and on-time, so we can make it back home to family. We can easily take for granted mediocre and mundane drama-free days. 

I'm learning to fiercely embrace and love drama-free mundane days. As a Virgo Sun-Gemini Rising my brain always says I must be doing something...getting somewhere. As a young child who believed from her upbringing that she would never be good enough, this is a recipe for disaster and unhappiness of the worst kind. Not only do you believe you have to be doing something to be somewhere and be worthy...you have to create it and make it happen. If you don't you have failed immeasurably, beyond redemption. 

I was raised joyless and loveless like many, even maybe you. A lyric in my song "Tin Man" from my first album Mrs. Blue says "I've always known sorrow but I'm learning about happiness." We can be free and feel great love, when we give it to ourselves and commit to working on being the kind of person we want to be. That doesn't mean being perfect. It means regarding ourselves with love, care, honor and respect. 

Let yourself off the hook. Embrace laziness if you're body is screaming for you to slow down. You won't be there forever...just enough to heal and figure things out. Then a funny thing happens...what you want starts coming to you because you got out of your own way. Life is full of magic seen and still unseen. You are LOVED beyond what you could imagine by your Creator.and you don't have to earn that EVER! 


Here are a few ways to come back to yourself and what is important to you.

How often to you say to yourself I'd like to do this but... Where are your buts? What are they standing in the way of?


Schedule creative time or doing nothing time at least once a week.

What did you use to do that you really enjoyed, but say I just don't have time for that now?

Ask for help and use resources available to you. 


Sometimes we don't even have a reason why we put off what makes us happy. Maybe you were raised like I was that life is hard and joyless, and being happy is being lazy. Either way schedule YOU time right away! 

Would you be interested in joining an Artist's Way group?

Much Love & Joy

☽✩☾Taurus Full Moon ~November 6th 2014 Oracle Card Reading ☽✩☾ www.tatianascavnicky.com

The Taurus Full Moon sits full and pregnant in the sign of Scorpio asking you to deeply consider what is truly important to you at this time. This event is about aligning your truth with your values at the core! All roads are leading to this place now. Your life has been speaking to you. I can really relate to this. Four and half feet of water in my basement and the aftermath of that event was a wake-up call for me. I knew I had to make some changes and really tune into where I am being called with my music and intuitive work. It's time if you choose to accept this mission (wink wink) to align your goals with what you value and LOVE.

Oracle Card #1 ~ Bast
Bast says do things differently because you can. You are the creator of your world....yes even when other people are in it. Taurus is about security, money, pleasure and passion. What gives you heart wings? What kind of home life do you desire? What brings delight and stability to your love relationships and romantically with your partner? What have you lost sight of? Look deeply at what your needs and desires are now around pleasure, security and finances. Are your resources being drained? Are you giving to much to a relationship financially and/or emotionally? Do you deny yourself time and pleasure? Is the support you give to others one-sided? 

Bast comes to help you continue the journey started this Summer astrologically. Little glimpses became insights. Insights grew into intuitive nudges. You might be feeling physical symptoms now like headaches, stomach aches, back aches...aches in general.. In my experience the things will not leave you alone are your core...your inner self...your intuition....your Soul talking to you. Ask yourself what do I need right now? What is the most important thing I need right now? How do I go about making that happen? What would make my life better? What would make me happy and how do my beloveds fit in? What help might I be denying myself because I think I have to do it all alone? Why can't I let myself off the hook? Write all this down.

Oracle Card #2 ~ Guinevere
Guinevere shows up in the center of this reading as the glue that holds this all together. True love representing our truth... the good, bad and ugly truth. The Scorpio energy around this is intense! What drives us deeply? Who do we love and why? What do we love about ourselves? What do we need to reevaluate and stop doing? Scorpio brings an opportunity for a deep look inside so we can get back in touch with ourselves at the core. 

This is also about embracing our shadow, those parts of ourselves we bear that we don't like about ourselves....the ugly, the inconvenient. You've already begun this process. You are seeing parts of yourself and your character you've never seen before. Light bulbs have been popping on all over the place as a quiet and a self-assured acceptance is growing within. Now you can get down to the roots and live from the inside out. The shadow is also about knowing that things happen in the world that are not pretty, ugly and inconvenient. You can love yourself through what is happening. Don't beat yourself up for how you feel but tend to that. Look for people that love you, not drain you and your resources. 

Oracle Card #3 ~ Hathor
Hathor shows the balance and synthesis of your deepest desires and needs coming to life...being made manifest. Manifesting is thoughts and ideas becoming reality, showing up on the earthly plane. She says allow yourself to receive. Open hands have more room. Dwell in the possibilities of your life. The future is determined by the choices you make now, the ones as simple as every Tuesday I will do yoga. Every Friday night is date night. Every day from this time to this time is mine. If you think you don't even have ten minutes to yourself, i highly recommend using this full moon energy, available to us for three days before and after for a good look at your heart, values and what's really important to you.

In closing I LOVE the journey shown here visually. Bast spreads her arms wide to the petals floating around her, drawing them in, receiving and allowing them. The cats at her right and left represent our desires and pleasure. So many opportunities and so many ways to feel good. Her head is back. Her heart is open and she trusts. 

The flowers are now held in Guinevere's loving embrace. Yes this is what I forgot. This is who I love. This is what I love and need. The blooms represent the blessed and loving act of recognizing what is truly important, and how sacred it is.

And the story continues as the white light coming from deep inside her heart and out of her chest are these desires and values being made manifest in the form of the element of water, something that can be measured and touched. 

Being in touch with what is really important to you brings success, pleasure, money, authenticity and Love to life. 


This is a general reading. If you need answers and support schedule a reading with me for a detailed, personal and in-depth reading session. The issues at the forefront of your life will automatically present themselves. What you need to know and take action on will be clear. Expect to be scheduled for a session within 1-3 weeks upon booking. You can book your session now here. Include your desired time and date, and time zone.
