Take a moment to just be—to settle into your body and soften your breath. As the message encourages, there’s no need for judgment or analysis. Just notice what’s here. The card reveals that you are entering a new cycle, one that asks you to sift through your emotional and energetic experiences and release what no longer serves you.
Let go of outdated vows, painful memories, and emotional patterns. These may have been useful at one time, but now, like the outer layer of a cocoon, they’ve served their purpose. What remains is a thread of truth, of soul wisdom—ready to be carried forward.
Releasing the Past Isn’t Losing It—It’s Honoring Its Role
Releasing the past to embrace the future is not about forgetting or rejecting what’s come before. It’s about weaving your story into something that feels lighter and more aligned. Your past has shaped you. The mistakes, heartbreaks, lessons, and joys—they’ve all given you material for growth. But now, you get to decide what travels with you into this next chapter.
And yes, stepping into the unknown can feel unsettling. That’s normal. Transition brings vulnerability, but also possibility. This process, guided by Quan Yin’s presence, is one of love, clarity, and restoration. You are not alone in it.
What This Message Invites You to Explore
Close your eyes for a moment and turn inward. What feelings arise in your body? Where does your attention naturally go? Maybe you find peace, maybe discomfort, maybe something in between. Wherever you land, trust that it’s part of your process.
This reading might speak to you differently than it does to someone else—and that’s okay. For some, it may be about releasing regret. For others, it may spark hope or clarity. It may even invite you into deeper self-compassion, a theme I return to often. Because letting go of the past with grace requires kindness, especially toward yourself.
The invitation this week is simple but profound: release what no longer aligns so you can welcome what’s trying to emerge. The beauty of your life is not just in what you’ve survived—but in how you’re choosing to continue. Lighter. Softer. Wiser.
What came up for you in this message? Did you notice anything stirring inside—an image, a memory, a realization? I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

The Empress of the Pearl teaches a powerful lesson about transformation. Just as a natural pearl forms through adversity, our struggles shape us into something rare and luminous. This message reminds us that challenges are not meant to break us. Instead, they help us grow into the most authentic version of ourselves.
When we shift our focus from suffering to growth, we begin to see our experiences in a new light. Rather than feeling weighed down by hardships, we can recognize them as part of our personal and spiritual evolution. By embracing this perspective, we allow ourselves to move forward with more resilience and hope.
The Pearl Within: Growth Through Struggle
A pearl begins as an irritation—a grain of sand or parasite that enters an oyster. Instead of resisting, the oyster responds by coating it with layers of nacre until a beautiful pearl emerges. In the same way, our struggles can become sources of wisdom and inner strength if we allow healing to take place.
If you’ve ever felt like life’s difficulties have left you broken or unworthy, this message is for you. You are not defined by your pain. Rather, you are shaped by how you rise from it. Your resilience, your light, and your wisdom are gifts that only you can offer to the world.
Releasing Negativity and Embracing Light
At times, we absorb negativity from our environment, leaving us feeling drained or burdened. However, the Empress of the Pearl invites us to release these heavy energies and focus on the light within. Through breath, mindfulness, and self-compassion, we can shed the weight of negativity and allow our soul’s radiance to shine.
A simple practice to connect with this energy involves visualization:
First, close your eyes and take deep, steady breaths.
Then, imagine a warm, pearlescent light growing within you, wrapping around any discomfort or pain.
With each breath, see this light expanding, dissolving the negativity, and transforming it into peace.
As we nurture our inner light, we create a ripple effect. Our healing not only transforms us but also touches those around us in ways we may never fully see.
You Are Meant to Shine
For many, believing that we have something valuable to offer can feel impossible. Yet, just like a pearl, our journey has made us uniquely radiant. Every experience, every challenge, and every moment of growth adds to the brilliance we bring into the world.
You don’t need to be an influencer, have wealth, or hold a certain status to make an impact. Instead, simply showing up as your authentic self—embracing your journey and sharing your light—creates change. When we honor our own transformation, we inspire others to do the same.
Take a moment to reflect: What parts of your story have helped shape your inner pearl? How can you begin to see your struggles as part of your unique brilliance?

The following is a direct transcript of the video.
Welcome to this week’s card reading. This week, we’re using the deck The Keepers of the Light from Kyle Gray. And this week’s card is Isis, Magic Manifesting – Your dreams, visions, and goals are becoming reality. Stay focused.
I don’t know about you but staying focused on dreams, ideals, and visions…it’s feeling a little harder. It’s a little bit more challenging with all the realities of what is going on in the world and certainly—I’m in the U.S.—what is happening here in the U.S. So whether you’re in a place where things are feeling really kind of uncertain and the idea of holding on to some dream seems impossible or maybe you’re in a place where this is an opportunity to allow yourself to dream bigger and you’re feeling really excited about that.
Let’s take this time together today to just be together. To notice what feels present and allow the message to resonate in the ways that you feel it. So there might be some resistance. There might be something that just hits in a way that brings up some sort of emotion. You may find your mind wandering. There is no right or wrong. Just notice. Don’t analyze. Don’t try to figure it out. You can journal afterward and process but for now just try to listen, be present, and notice what’s happening within as you listen to this message.
So I just want to give a little reminder again. I’ve said this before but in various different decks there are things that are talked about in terms of—sometimes it will mention God, it will mention Spirit or different kinds of things like that. And I want to be clear that for my purpose here and my own personal experience in using card decks, I am not a religious person, and I don’t think of any of this in regard to any sort of religion or anything related to that. I just think of it in terms of the universe, Mother Nature, the earth, and good and bad in whatever way that could mean at any given time. So not good and bad in terms of heaven or hell, not certainly in terms of religion—none of that. So I just wanna be clear. So as you listen, if you are a religious person, then you can take it however you want to take it. If you’re not, just know that this is not my intention for that to be the case.
So if it feels comfortable, just allow yourself to relax into whatever surface you’re on. So really just trying to allow your body to melt, allow your jaw to release, your shoulders, your hips, and just allow your body weight to sink into whatever surface you’re on. And maybe close your eyes, maybe put a hand over your heart or over your belly. Whatever feels like you’re being called to do right now, whatever you might need.
ISIS
Magic Manifesting – Your dreams, visions and goals are becoming reality. Stay focused.
Isis is a strong, smart and focused Egyptian winged goddess. According to legend, she was able to move from darkness to light and between the underworld, heaven and earth. For that reason, whenever she comes to us she will help us move from the hell of own fear into the heaven of our own love. She was also able to revive her lover Osiris- not sure if I’m saying that right- from the dead, and this powerful allegorical story shows how she can help us revive an aspect of our life or a dream that we may have ‘killed off’ with fear or lack of self-belief. With her magical abilities, Isis will guide us to bring our dreams into reality.
Extended message
You are moving into a space where your dream reality is becoming your outward reality. This is an extremely powerful time, and it’s vital to keep focused on the highest good of all. You no longer want to relive your own history and/or feel unsupported. Acknowledging where you once were and how you have changed that situation around is a powerful focus of gratitude that will align you with universal abundance. Discipline and commitment are important now. Consider that you are moving between worlds when you daydream or create visions and bring life-enhancing ideas into reality. Magic is manifesting all around you – this is exciting!
So just take a deep breath, let that energy move through.
So I actually didn’t read this before reading it to you. And reading just the initial aspect—that your dreams, visions, and goals are becoming reality—knowing what’s happening in the world and with so many people in terms of struggle right now, I was curious and also quite hesitant about trying to just put that idea out there, that your dreams are manifesting and to stay focused. Because I think, for so many people, that’s kind of hard to do. But I have to say, as I read this, I thought, “Okay, I definitely can feel some resonance here.”
And I think this part here—the idea of reviving an aspect of our life or a dream that we may have killed off with fear or lack of self-belief—I have no doubt that anybody watching this right now can relate. Probably about so many things in your life because of a lack of fear, because of a lack of self-belief…kind of allowing those dreams to fade away or maybe even forcing those dreams to the side. And I think, you know, this could happen for a lot of reasons, but I think right now, because we are just kind of trying to get through day to day, we do feel like any dream is something that has to be put aside or maybe will be unachievable at all. So that really resonated, and I know that I’m going to sit with that idea for a little bit and just notice what comes up. I might even get my journal out and journal a little bit about it.
You no longer want to relive your own history and/or feel unsupported. It’s all about connection, right? I think this is always important—the idea of allowing ourselves to be supported. It’s such an important part of healing, and I think when there are difficult things going on in our own personal lives or certainly in the broader community and sociocultural experience, being able to recognize and connect to the shared experiences of fear, grief, and struggle so that we know that we’re not alone, so that we can feel the truth of that reality. It is so important.
So whatever may have resonated or not, I hope that you do allow yourself to consider the dreams that maybe you have put off, pushed to the side, not allowed yourself maybe to dream, and consider the possibility of opening to allowing opportunity and space. For maybe even just parts of those dreams, those hopes even to come to life.
I’d love to hear what came up for you. Share in the comments.
