  • Holding Space for Yourself: Recharging Your Energy

    Holding Space for Yourself: Recharging Your Energy

    The following is a direct transcript of the video.

    Thank you for joining me for this week’s card reading. This week, it is from Keepers of the Light from Kyle Gray. And the card that I pulled for us is Hilarion, Divine Healing. And I’m sure it’s no coincidence that it is green, which is the color of the heart chakra.

    So as always, just give yourself these few moments to be with yourself. Be here with me, our community. Allow yourself to rest, to relax, to re-energize, to just be here in stillness, connecting to yourself and your breath.

    Hilarion. Divine healing.

    Honor your sensitivity. Retreat to recharge and heal. Your light can support others. The world can seem overwhelming to you. And it’s okay to retreat to a safe space every now and then to cleanse and recharge your energy.

    You may feel called to serve others or share your healing with them. But please ensure that you are filled up with light, love, and energy first so that you are not sacrificing your own development for others. You are surrounded by the healing light of Hilarion and the healing angels of this time so that you can recharge and feel whole.

    So just let yourself take in a deep, full breath. Notice any sort of reaction, whether in thoughts or in your body. Notice any sensations as they swirl around. What words or theme or phrase maybe resonated or maybe felt a little resistance to? Don’t try to judge it or analyze it. Just notice.

    This says, “The world can seem overwhelming to you, and it’s okay to retreat to a safe space every now and then to cleanse and recharge your energy.” I would say that not only is it okay, but it’s really important.

    And when there is a lot going on in your life. No matter what is happening outside of your life, but even when there is just a lot of stress in your own life—it is really important to do this. When there are a lot of things going on around you, whether it’s in your family or your neighborhood, your friend group, your community, your country, or globally, it’s even more important most of the time.

    Because one of the things that we do as survivors is, generally speaking, tend to develop a really deep sense of empathy. And with that, not only do we feel our own stuff on some level, even if not consciously, but we feel so much about the difficulty and the pain of others.

    I’m going to probably, unfortunately, have to continue to say this just as a reminder that we are in a time—not just in one country—but we are in a time where there’s a lot of uncertainty.

    And if you—well, I was going to say if you’re in the U.S., but really, probably anybody watching this—there’s likely some uncertainty, if not some significant turmoil going on. And it is so incredibly important to really try to take in this message that it’s important to honor your sensitivity, and sensitivity is not a negative thing.

    In fact, it’s a really important characteristic and strength. I didn’t always believe that, but I think it is important. Very real.

    And I think what is happening in the U.S. in particular right now—and I’m saying that in part not just because it’s my personal experience, but I know that across the world, people tend to know a lot about what is happening here. And I’ve seen so many people talk about their concerns about what’s happening here.

    But sensitivity is what helps create that sense of empathy. And having a sense of empathy is what helps us create environments—again, within our friend group or in a larger community or in a country or internationally. It is what helps us see and try to understand differences and the needs of people that may not be our needs.

    So the sensitivity that you have is not a weakness. It is really, really important though that we—so I am saying this to myself as well—that we honor that sensitivity, that we both nurture that sensitivity and do what we need to do to make sure that we protect that sensitivity.

    And that could be doing a lot of self-care types of things, recharging as it was spoken in here. It can also be really being mindful of how much you’re taking in.

    Because in order for us to be able to show up for ourselves and show up for other people, it’s not sustainable. It just isn’t. It’s not sustainable if we’re not recharging, if we’re not honoring what we’re doing.

    And that’s both in heart, mind, and body. Because each of those may need some different things. And it’s important to be able to try to pay attention to that so that we can care for it—so that we can take care of ourselves and show up in the ways that we really desire to show up for ourselves and for others.

    I’d love to hear what came up for you. Thank you for sharing this reading with me.

  • A Moment of Reflection: Trusting Your Timing

    A Moment of Reflection: Trusting Your Timing

    The following is a direct transcript of the video.

    Thank you for joining me for today’s card reading. This is a message for the coming week, the coming days, and I invite you to just take in what feels like it resonates, maybe reflect back on it as the week progresses. But today I want to share with you a card from the Kuan Yin Rracle from Alana Fairchild. This is a beautiful deck, both in terms of the imagery and the messages.

    So maybe put one hand over your heart, one hand over your belly. Maybe in order to feel a little bit more open and in a space of receiving, maybe allowing your palms to rest open facing up on your thighs or beside you. Or maybe if you feel you need a little more grounding, maybe put your hands palms down on your thighs.

    So whatever you’re doing, just breathe naturally and fully and notice what comes up for you. If you miss something in the message, you’ll be able to rewind and come back to it. But just try to notice and feel into the energy that is present for you. If any thoughts or to-do lists come in, don’t analyze, don’t judge. Just let it go and come back to the sound of my voice.

    “Did you know that there are no mistakes in the universe and all events, circumstances, relationships, and situations are unfolding in perfection with the timing and intelligence of the divine plan? Any apparent delay is in your favor. If something is happening for you right now, then that is perfect too. Divine timing is perfection. It is safe to trust this now.

    You might be wondering if anything is ever going to come together for you, or if it seems to be happening quickly now, if you are even ready for it. The answer is yes.

    Divine timing is always at play. Whether we are letting go or trying to force something, an intelligent power that is faster than our comparatively limited vision is always in flow, and we are a part of that. We can find so much peace and joy when we realize this and learn to trust and relax in the unfolding of our divine destiny.

    Chinese bamboo helps us learn this wisdom of divine timing. For about five years of its early life, not much appears to be going on as the small roots attempt to ground themselves. Yet when they are ready, those roots are exceptionally strong and the plant suddenly grows like wildfire. There was much more going on in preparation for powerful growth than what appeared to be at the humble beginnings of the bamboo plant. So it can be with divine timing.

    There are periods when not much appears to be going on at all, and we can begin to accept that this will always be the case. Yet this inner preparation time allows for swift development and growth when we are ready. When the time for patient and thorough preparation is over, our growth can happen very quickly, and we might then be concerned that it is all too fast and we cannot keep up with it. But of course, we shall keep up with it because the inner preparation has allowed us to develop a good foundation of spiritual strength. Just like the cycles of the moon that shift from hidden light to full splendor of solar reflection only to shift again, your unfoldment is just a matter of timing.

    You are being encouraged to trust in divine timing and know that all is well in your world. Your dreams and divine destiny are manifesting right now, whether it is obvious or not, and all will continue to unfold according to your highest good.

    Be at peace, beloved. You are not forgotten, nor are your gifts being over or underestimated. All is well in the divine plan unfolding of which you are a part.

    Healing by the bamboo moon. Imagine that you are amongst a lush green forest of bamboo, abundant, cool, and serene. Overhead, the moon rises and you notice that it has grown full. Soft light, serenity, and peace abounds. You become aware of vast fields of bamboo, golden in the moonlight. The bamboo moves peacefully with the breeze. Feel the peace and recognition in your heart. You don’t need to do anything other than just feel it. You belong to nature. You too shall flourish.

    Just feel it.”

    Just let yourself take a moment and feel into, again, that the energy, whatever energy you notice, you might feel it a little in your limbs or your fingertips. You might even notice a little tingling in your ears or warmth. Again, no judgment, no analyzing. Just feel.

    I hope this message lands in some way. I hope it helps you feel a connection to yourself, with me, with our community as there will be various people hearing this message, sharing in this message for this coming week.

    I love to hear from you. What came up? What did you notice? Thanks so much for joining me.

  • Embracing New Beginnings on the Path to Emotional Healing

    Embracing New Beginnings on the Path to Emotional Healing

    The following is a direct transcript of the video.

    I want to share something with you a little different today. So I’m not going to get into the whole history of this for myself, but I have gotten back into a practice of trying to pull Oracle cards whenever I’m feeling like I’m a little disorganized, a little distracted, which has been a lot lately, and I wanted to share it with you today.

    If this is something that you enjoy, definitely let me know in the comments. I might do a little bit more of it. If it’s something you don’t enjoy, that’s perfectly okay. Feel free to scroll by. But I’m going to encourage you to consider this as just a sign to take a step back, take some deep breaths, connect with yourself, connect with me, connect with the community.

    So the deck that I pulled from today is the native spirit deck from Denise Linn. This is a really beautiful deck. She’s part of the Cherokee nation and I just really love it and there’s a lot more I’d like to say about it but I don’t want this to be too long.

    So spirit keeper of the east…so I’m gonna read to you just kind of briefly the message from this card. There’s more that this book goes into with it, but again, I’m trying to keep it a little bit brief. So I’m just going to read the first part to share with you. So if you can, maybe close your eyes and just breathe naturally but fully, and just notice what comes up for you, okay?

    “New beginnings. A fresh cycle is occurring in your life. Wipe the slate clean. It’s now time to release the old and start again. No matter what has happened in the past, it doesn’t need to repeat in the future.”

    And in the East, and the book goes into this a little bit, but the East is where the sun rises. It’s a new day, right? So just kind of let yourself continue to breathe into that. Let the energy of this message come, just land within, and notice the energy that it brings. Really breathing into it.

    Stay here as long as you’d like. Just notice what came up for you. Notice what you’re feeling, where your mind went. I’d love to hear from you. What did you notice coming up? Did you like this? Was it something that you would like to continue to connect with? I have several decks that I pull from.

    Some of them have much longer meanings than others, but I’d love to hear from you. Share in the comments.
