Spring Equinox Reading!

Happy glorious Monday delicious one, and more importantly Happy Spring Equinox!

I love Spring Equinox, the energy of rebirth, rejuvenation, replenishment and the full knowing that soon there will be flowers and the days are getting longer! If you don’t know anything about Spring Equinox, click on the name and there is a post that can support you.

I had so much fun doing this reading and I changed it up a tad. For the first time in months I could see my deck (I so want to make a crass joke in an Australian accent here, but I won’t – as there was a great skit about decks).

The sun was shining and so I thought – yes, yes, we are doing the reading outside (it was a glorious 10C!) So the space was cleansed, the sun shining and the reading happening and then it was positively delicious to watch what happened. All 3 of my large dogs sloped out and started basking in the sun around the cards and crystals, 2 large crows swooped in and perched on my deck railing watching what was happening (totally ignoring the dogs). That in itself was very cool, but then the cat (who doesn’t like crows) came out and lay amidst the hounds and rolled up onto her back to bask. Talk about fabulous! To add to it a slightly scrawny squirrel, who either was totally oblivious to all the animals around that might eat him, or just felt this was the time and the place came and sat and nattered up on the fence about 5 feet away and watched. So have to say, this was a really fun reading to do, plus I received a lot of help!

You will note that with this being the Equinox the reading is done in a circle, like the sun. The crystals for this time are Carnelian, Citrine, Aventurine and Fluorite. So there is a gorgeous chunk of Citrine in the middle and lovely little Aventurine and Carnelian scattered between the cards.

Phew, let’s take a pause, a glorious breath and just centre. If you would like a glorious visualisation to work with, here is a super fun one that really encompasses the energy of this day.

Okay, ready? Take a breath, pick the card or cards that are calling to you and let’s go see what this glorious Spring Equinox is bringing to you.

Ready?

1. HEAVEN SENT

Just as we receive gifts in the physical world, through the thoughtfulness of others, to acknowledge how much we mean to them, so too we receive gifts on other levels – including the spiritual level. A spiritual gift is something that happens through grace. We can ask for help and it may be given in response to that request. All requests for help are answered. There is a loving benevolence in life that knows exactly what we need and how it can best come to us, even when we are not quite so clear. This force actively seeks to assist us in walking our life path. That loving sweetness is being offered to you now, or soon will be, in the form of a spiritual gift. The spiritual gift may or may not be recognisable to you, but it is like a spiritual booster shot that helps you move forward in life with additional zing, extra strength and greater peace. Let yourself be helped. Assistance is coming your way so act on it and say yes. Trust in the things that you feel and say to others without knowing why. It moves them. You might not understand, but through trust you are allowing yourself not to overthink and censor yourself. As such you are able to become a vessel through which the spiritual gift can be passed on to others. Don’t block yourself. Let life happen through you. Only benefit can come from this!

2. RED COUNTESS

Deep within, you know what is true and what to do (or not do). Yet there is so much noise and distraction in the world, and even at times in our own minds, that listening for our inner wisdom can seem like trying to hear gentle birdsong in the midst of a rock concert. Even so, you are hearing an inner truth, and deep down, you know it. Can you trust that it is safe to not only hear your inner voice but act on it too? You are being reminded of what you know, no matter how convincingly someone – or even you – might be able to “talk you out of it” for a while. The truth always returns to be dealt with eventually. Give your truths value. Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense. Know that they are worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying. Trust yourself and then choose to act from your truths.

3. WHAT DO YOU FEEL?

There are many opinions around you. Some are helpful but others are distracting you from your truth. Although it can be helpful to hear the thoughts of others, when it all comes down to it, you will have to come to your own decision. Do you know how unique you are? How your path is your path to be chosen, lived and created – only by you? Someone else cannot become the source of your decision-making power without negative repercussions for both of you in the long run. Don’t traumatise or punish yourself with possible choices. Just making a choice will set things in motion. The best way to catalyse the situation you are in and bring about healing change, stimulate your creative juices and find a more inspired, energised and enjoyable approach to your life, is to just make a choice based on what you feel right now. Not based on anyone else’s feelings. So spend time with your own feelings and know that all is going to work out perfectly.

4. CROWN OF THE BUTTERFLY BAMBINI

Just as nature imbues the butterfly with an innate ability for radical transformation, so too do you have natural instincts within, guiding you to grow in dramatic, utterly life-changing ways. Progress is your perfection. Growth is your attainment. Do you shun what you have been or mistakes you have made? Or instead, do you wear your ability for transformation as a sacred crown of power? Transformation is an ability, an art, a sacred power. It requires an ability to go through the death of an old self, to be reborn again. It requires both strength and flexibility, to be like bamboo, to bend without breaking. Are you willing to let go of what you have known, who you have been, without judging it, except to understand that you are outgrowing your past and becoming your future in this very moment? Don’t dream small dreams, for you are capable of far more dramatic and colourful creations. Trust in the magnificence of what you are becoming, the expression of the transformational intelligence and power within you.

5. FREE FROM JUDGEMENT, FREE TO LOVE

Imagine world so infused with bliss, love and wonder that you naturally and always feel as safe as a nourished, cherished baby in the arms of the universal mother. Life mothers us, with kindness, and sometimes when we need it to grow, through challenge as well. Accepting this mothering – in its gentle and fierce faces – can be difficult at times. Yet there are those brave enough in spirit to go forth onto their life path with absolute trust in the universal mother. You are being asked to open yourself up to receive more nurturing. You can do this for yourself. You can also choose to open up and allow others to nurture you. If you have been asking life for a solution to a specific difficulty, the solution is in gestation right now. The situation is already being sorted out and the resolution will come to fruition very soon. Just stop, relax, centre and settle into your body to feel your connection with life itself.

6. RARE, RAW, REAL

There is a unique beauty in you that wants to shine through. It is different. It might not be pretty, neat and tidy, and you might even feel vulnerable about sharing this real, unveiled you with the world…do it anyway because the world wants to love you. The rare, raw and real you. It’s time to peel back the layers and unearth the real you – naked, vulnerable, real, beautiful. With every layer of hiding and protection removed, you’ll encounter whatever it was that caused that layer of self protection to be built up in the first place – maybe a sense of shame, fear, hate, anger or doubt. Affirm your love for yourself, and a willingness to be patient whilst you become ready to be known and seen and loved for who you are underneath those layers of pain, then you’ll find it easier to let them fall away. As this happens there will be a revelation of a raw, rare and real you that you didn’t even know was there – so pure so powerful, so precious. The inner light of you will shine through, like a lantern suddenly illuminated, with the radiance of you lighting up the dark.

7. RELEASING ALLEGIANCES

It is time to hold onto yourself and let go of another. Even if just for a time. You have gained all that was meant to be from that connection. At least for now. You have given and you have received. The need to let go does not deny the value of what has been acquired, it is more that the time has come for greater productivity, creativity, abundance and consciousness in your life. You have completed many cycles in the vibrational frequency of consciousness that you are now being asked to release. It is now time to expand into higher frequencies of experience that will bring enhanced love, empowerment and peace into your life. You will take the wisdom of what you have learned with you into something new – new connections, new relationships, new life experiences – at a higher turn of the spiral of life.

Trust that you can step into solitude for a time without being consumed by loneliness. It is time to reconnect with yourself. This is a time for self-love, for paying attention to yourself, for nurturing, holding and being with you. Back yourself! You must be there for yourself because you are doing well, you are on the right path and you are growing. Well done!

8. GUEST OF HONOUR

Have you ever felt like you were on the outside looking in – maybe like everyone else has found their place, really belonging to someone or something, having set themselves up for life with you still working out how to just get past the security guards at the front gate? It’s time for your outsider status to change. You are invited into the inner circle. If you are brave enough to endure the times when you feel like you don’t fit in, you gain a precious treasure. The ability to know who you really are and to learn to love that self. But if you’ve spent long enough on the outside, on the fringe of life, perhaps leaving people behind, it can take some intention and attention to change course. You are being invited to shift from the lone wolf to sharing your wisdom with others. It means believing you can sail straight past the security guards at the door, straight into the most deliciously wonderful party and into the VIP room at the centre. It’s your time for acceptance at a greater level because you are safe. You have learned to accept yourself, so you’ll not hand your power over to others, as though their approval means more to you than your own self-possession. You are going to be offered pride of place in something that matters a lot to you. Accept it. It is your time to feel as though you have been chosen and that you belong.

Wishing you Spring flowers, glorious rejuvenation and the planting of seeds to nourish you and help you grow.

I love Spring Equinox!

Jenny Heston · 3:17 pm ·

I love Spring Equinox! After a long (this one especially) winter, the idea, the knowing and the full Trust that Spring is going to come is amazing. To me it is about NEW. New plants, new ideas, new ways of moving in the world and releasing the blaugh. So in celebration I planted up over 144 plants yesterday (from seed), my house is clean and smudged and on the actual equinox there will be a glorious fire roaring and a welcoming in of new energy.

Spring Equinox is the second of the four “sky points” in the Wheel of the Year, and it is when the sun does a perfect balancing act in the heavens. In other words, the sun rises exactly in the East, travels through the sky for 12 hours and sets exactly in the West. Thus, all over the world, day and night are of equal length.

As I mentioned this is such a glorious time of renewal, rejuvenation and rebirth. For example spring cleaning is not just about your home, it’s about removing old or negative energies accumulated over the dark winter months to prepare you for glorious growth. It’s about planting seeds of intention, seeds of growth, seeds of food – it’s about shedding that heavy winter coat and picking up something a tad lighter and a bit more fun.

If we were to look through multiple cultures Spring Equinox has and is a glorious time of welcoming in the light, celebrating the rebirth or creation of new things, planting seeds and releasing the old, worn and tired.

For example, there is the story of the Roman god Mithras, which is similar to the tale of Jesus Christ and his resurrection. “ Born at the winter solstice and resurrected in the spring, Mithras helped his followers ascend to the realm of light after death. In one legend, Mithras, who was popular amongst members of the Roman military, was ordered by the Sun to sacrifice a white bull. He reluctantly obeyed, but at the moment when his knife entered the creature’s body, a miracle took place. The bull turned into the moon, and Mithras’ cloak became the night sky. Where the bull’s blood fell flowers grew, and stalks of grain sprouted from its tail.”

In the Mayan culture, at Chichen Itza, spring equinox is most certainly celebrated (I have been there for this, very cool!) It’s called – The Snake of Sunlight “A famous ancient equinox celebration was the Mayan sacrificial ritual by the main pyramid at Chichen Itza, Mexico. The pyramid, known as El Castillo, has 4 staircases running from the top to the bottom of the pyramid’s faces, notorious for the bloody human sacrifices that used to take place here. The staircases are built at a carefully calculated angle which makes it look like an enormous snake of sunlight slithers down the stairs on the day of the equinox.”

Last but not least let’s look at the Iranian New Year, which is called No-Rooz, and happens at exactly the same time. Again, spring cleaning occurs and an altar is set up “Iranians consider No-Rooz as their biggest celebration of the year, before the new year, they start cleaning their houses (Khaane Tekaani), and they buy new clothes. But a major part of New Year rituals is setting the “Haft Seen” with seven specific items. In ancient times each of the items corresponded to one of the seven creations and the seven holy immortals protecting them. Today they are changed and modified but some have kept their symbolism. All the seven items start with the letter “S”; this was not the order in ancient times. These seven things usually are: Seeb (apple), Sabze (green grass), Serke (vinager), Samanoo (a meal made out of wheat), Senjed (a special kind of berry), Sekke (coin), and Seer (garlic). Sometimes instead of Serke they put Somagh (sumak, an Iranian spice). Zoroastrians today do not have the seven “S”s but they have the ritual of growing seven seeds as a reminder that this is the seventh feast of creation, while their sprouting into new growth symbolized resurrection and eternal life to come. “

So in my world, no matter where you are on this planet – equinox time is about balance & harmony. Also, celebration! So whether you just take a moment to say thanks, or you buy yourself some spring flowers, plant some seeds, light a fire, have friends over for a celebration, it doesn’t matter.

But I do invite you to do something, even if it is just writing with a Sharpie on an egg!

So how are you going to celebrate?

Weekly Reading for March 13th and post Full Moon in Virgo.

Jenny Heston · 2:47 pm ·

Happy fantabulous Monday and one that is still burbling with the Full Moon energy! Did you celebrate the Full Moon, Release, Relax and Enjoy? I most certainly did. Every evening I light a candle on my dining room table to bring in the elements of hearth and home. So I lit a few more, put on some gorgeous music and then went and sat outside (yes, with a plethora of other candles) and wrote, burned, celebrated all the glorious people, situations and circumstances that I am grateful for. If you want to learn more about how to harness the power of the Full Moon, there is a great post here 3 Simple Steps to Harnessing the Power of the Full Moon.

This week we are working with the delicious Oracle deck – The Divine Circus. Note that instead of sparkly crystals adorning the reading there are glorious rocks that I gather on walks or from the edge of the lake. These too are crystals as in essence we all live on the biggest crystal formation there is – which is Earth.

So take a deep breath in and if you feel like a centering visualisation there is one below. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that are calling to you.

Ready to go see who wants to work with you this week?

CLOWN OF CROSSROADS

Opportunity is upon you, though it may seem like a farewell to what you have known. This chance is a crossroad, a time when you go left or right. You cannot continue with everything as it has been, and this means that something will have to be released for something else to be gained. It’s time for you to take your chances and make a choice.

Your life does not have to continue on as it has been anymore. You’re at a pattern breaking, life changing moment, or soon will be. Of course you can try to continue with the status quo, however, in doing so, you will be saying no to the pathway opening up for you. It’s time for a new phase of life to begin. Be patient as you feel for the truth of your choice, whilst remaining courageous enough not to procrastinate and become stuck in indecision.

You can’t take your whole life with you into new territory, and that’s okay. Certain people may be able to change and grow along with you, but other relationships, situations or circumstances will have to be sacrificed on the altar of new life. This can be difficult and you must honour your loss, but not get taken down by it. You may be feeling fear and excitement, so it’s time to take heart. It’s time to leap!

BRILLIANT VIRGIN

In a world where we are bombarded daily with differing opinions and ideas, remaing true to you and your own point of view is nothing short of brilliant. Let go of confusion, distortion, comparison and compromise. You do not need to compare yourself to another or measure up to anyone or anything else. What matters to you and your successful life journey is to be in touch with your own truths. You know what you feel, no matter what anyone else says or believes. Stay true to you!

We need to be bold of heart and have a lot of faith when there is an idea within us yet to manifest in the world. We have to trust in what we see in our hearts, even if sometimes the eyes in our heads see things rather differently. Trust the inner vision, the hope, the dream within us is going to be strong enough to stand the rigours of birth, and be able to come to life in the world. Take time, patience, commitment and effort to transform the ideas into reality.

You see, know, feel, believe in something that is good, pure and true that needs to come to life in this world. It is meant to be original, so people may not “get it” straight away, but it is meant to happen through you because you understand it in a way that others may not. Don’t be afraid, DO NOT water down the strength of your vision, your dream. You are meant to be birthing something unique into being. The world needs your originality. Pray for courage, and Trust Yourself!

CHERRY ON TOP

You are so close to success, to the final attainment, to all your efforts coming together perfectly. All that remains for you to do now is one final step, one last choice, commitment, attitude or action, and your success will be complete and sweet – sweeter than an ice-cream sundae with a cherry on top!

Do you feel like you’re on a never-ending journey to manifest a dream? Does it seem like you have been traveling on the road to success forever, so long that you might wonder if you will ever reach the Promised Land – or even if it exists at all? Then you will enjoy some good news! You have been working hard, and for a long time, simply going through each day, doing what you need to do. This has been necessary, giving you patience and persistence, but i can prevent you from realising exactly how far you’ve come, exactly how much you have already accomplished.

You have done so much preparation and like water dripping into a container, the last drop takes it to overflow. So what’s required from you now are just the finishing touches, the finalising of a detail or two, perhaps one last addition or adjustment. It’s the final drop that creates the overflow. If this seems too good to be true, don’t worry. You are used to the hard work and not the final outcome.

Don’t waste your efforts by giving up on yourself, especially now are so close to the outcome you seek. All that’s needed now is just the cherry on top.

Wishing you a fantabulous week filled with your all that you desire and require to serve at your highest level. Oh and don’t forget we are going to celebrate the Spring Equinox next Monday (I’m so excited, I love Spring!) So may daffodils bob their heads as you walk by and spring flowers dance in your wake!

3 Simple Steps to Harnessing the Power of the Full Moon.

Jenny Heston · 3:13 pm ·

Whoot, whoot, it’s Full Moon! This Full Moon is also known as the Crow Moon. Now if you feel inclined you are more than welcome to dance naked under the moon as I have seen in some movies, (but it’s a tad chilly here for that), so let’s explore different ways to celebrate the Full Moon.

As a kid, I used to look up at what I perceived as a delicious, benevolent face that would glow down at me and I would wonder what she was thinking, and if she could see me. (The joys of being 6). Now I have different thoughts, albeit they are most certainly sprinkled with magic dust when it comes to moon times.

Two weeks ago we had the glorious New Moon with a solar eclipse and today (Sunday, March 13th) we have a Full Moon with a lunar eclipse! This is also a Full Moon in Virgo, so there is some of that energy at play.

So what does Full Moon mean? Well if you think about it the Full Moon represents a culmination of energy, we have watched the moon wax and wane and now she is in her full glory. So this is a perfect time to deal with the stuff we haven’t dealt with. It’s all about letting go, letting go of any resentments, hurts, angers, habits that don’t serve you, thoughts that tweak you. Toxic relationships, toxic thoughts. All about the Release baby!

The question I often hear is – How do I do that? Aaaahhhh, grasshopper, walk with me a while and you will learn the way of the quiet Ninja………..

There are 3 simple steps to harnessing the effects of Full Moon releasing – you ready?

First, here I drop the F bomb on you, so if you find it offensive cover your ears, if you’re willing to explore stick with me.

FORGIVENESS. (You thought I was going to say Fuck didn’t you?) Forgiveness is key. Now I know you might be rolling your eyes right now and saying to yourself “I am a calm benevolent spirit and of course I forgive.” Well, I am going to say hmmm, possible bullshit. We all want to be perceived as forgiving, loving, kind, aware people, but forgiveness is a tricky one for a lot of us – it’s as if we feel that to forgive someone, or a situation, we are condoning it – which we aren’t. If you want to read more about Forgiveness and how an easy daily practice can have a huge impact on you, your life, your well being and your profit margin, hop on over and read How Do You Feel About the F-Word?

So back to the Full Moon practice.

Step One – Forgive. Take 10 minutes and write, put pen to paper and write down anyone who you perceive has hurt you, any negative emotions, disappointments, upsets or any situation that didn’t turn out like you hoped it would, anything you have said or done that leaves that niggly feeling of “Bugger and balderdash, I messed up there.” Write it all down, the good, the bad and the ugly. Then we get to the fun part!

Step Two – Burn It! If you feel comfie read it outloud, if not, just read it through one more time. Then (in a safe way) either outdoors, over a sink, a loo, burn it. Release, release, release, send it out to the heavens, the moon, the ether or wherever you want to. Just don’t hold onto it. After it has turned to ash and dust I personally say to myself and the moon:-

I forgive all hurt, anger and resentment from my past and present, both self inflicted and by others. I forgive anything that prevents me from receiving all that I desire and require to live the life I dream of and serve at my highest level. I cut these cords and ties and send them back to whence they came and I welcome my own energy back, healthy, cleaned and transferred. So Be It.

Step Three – Gratitude. Now why Gratitude you may ask? We have all heard how important it is to practice gratitude and if you don’t have a daily practice, I highly encourage you to implement one. In this case, as part of the Full Moon ritual, you have just released a lot of “stuff” and energy (that probably wasn’t yours) and ties to holding onto crap, so there is now a delicious, fresh clean void. What better way to fill that void than with Gratitude! Gratitude raises the vibration and helps you see clearly all the magical, wonderful things/people that are in your in life.

So take a few moments and think of at least 3 people that you are grateful for in your life. Write them down and really feel the feeling of gratitude (I think of it like a gorgeous warm blanket that makes me feel relaxed, strong and blessed). Write down a list of what you are grateful for, it doesn’t have to be huge. Are your feet warm? Did you have a nice meal today? Are your children healthy? Does your dog greet you when you come home? Did something scrumdelicious happen to you? Just pour it all out and if writing’s not your thing, say it out loud, but not like you’re reciting a paragraph from a text book. Put some feeling behind it.

Voila, your done! That’s it. It’s not rocket science, but it is exceptionally important. Think about it this way, you planted delicious seeds at the New Moon, now you are just moving the rocks, possible deadwood out of the way with this practice so that your seeds have room to grow.

Now if you want to get particular and earn possible credits or a gold star. When writing your forgiveness you can work with the energy of where the Full Moon is. So for example, this Full Moon is in Virgo and if you have ever looked at a Facebook post that does a quick and dirty description of the astrological signs you will have heard that Virgo can be rather critical, judgemental, a tad of a perfectionist etc. So ask yourself – how have I been critical of someone else, or how did I feel criticised. Does that make sense?

Enjoy. Celebrate the Release and then celebrate all the things to be Grateful for. Happy Full Moon.

The first Monday of March! Weekly Reading for March 6th.

Jenny Heston · 4:08 pm ·

Happy first Monday in March! I keep telling myself Spring is coming, Spring is coming! (Albeit, with snow every day for the last 3, it doesn’t feel much like it). However, I think even the birds are aware it’s coming as every afternoon around 4ish I get serenaded by a delightful “crowcophany”. It’s as if every crow in the area comes flying in, chattering away and then roosts in the large cluster of cedar trees behind me. As they settle their noise changes from a caw, to a hilarious kind of plunking sound. Have you ever heard it? It’s quite good fun, it makes me giggle. It’s as if the crows are telling each other jokes and then laughing.

The crystals that wanted to come play this week are black snowflake obsidian, angelite and mookite, all with very different energies and meanings, and of course Selenite which is a fabulous amplifier. As I was preparing for this reading a phrase from A Course in Miracles came to me: “Would you be hostage to the Ego or host to God?” In other words, Littleness and Magnitude are the choices open to your striving and your vigilance. You will always chose one at the expense of the other. The Ego represents littleness, taking the easy way out, giving over to overwhelm, trying to be like the other 80% and holding onto your past. I would never wish Littleness for you, instead I would invite you to be host to God and celebrate your magnitude, your purpose, your passion and how scrumptiously gorgeous you are. So with that in mind are you willing to come on a little explore, possible adventure? I promise there will be no sharp objects to bump up against, let’s go play, I’ve created a fun little visualisation for you.

So with your magnitude whirling around you, take a breathe and pick a card.

Ready to go see?

SHOCK OF THE NEW

What wild unconventional voice is calling to you? Can you hear it? It is so different so unusual, it might be hard to decipher – like hearing an unfamiliar language for the first time. It might be hard to discern with great clarity now but there is an affinity between you and this strangely beautiful newness seeking to manifest.

There is a stirring at the deepest level within you. Something new will break through and the process of this birth may be a shock to you. The shock will transform into great joy and a sense of tremendous liberation, but you must bear the strangeness first. That strangeness might be something that rattles your beliefs about yourself and your world, daring you to become more of yourself, more open to where life is leading you and more willing to be the unique sacred art being crafted by the hand of the universal creator. This is life creating the stage upon which you will experience greater fulfillment. Don’t reject it, no matter how small or insignificant, or how powerful and life-changing it may seem to be.

You are being asked to dispense with your reliance on the past and what have been your tools to navigate life. You have outgrown your old methods. You will have to fly by the seat of your pants, so to speak, as you experiment with new ways to be. Life will show you the way.

IN THE WORLD, NOT OF THE WORLD

It is safe for you to become naked with life. This doesn’t necessarily mean stripping off and running wild in public. It does mean stripping back your beliefs, strongholds and mental or emotional security blankets so that you can live with less obstruction than ever before. Imagine the conditioning that has kept life away from you, just kept it dropping out of your hands like keys, coins or clocks. Conditioned beliefs about money, time, security, having, locking away, holding and controlling can be surrendered and allowed to fall away. What would it be like to feel as though you were on holiday every day?

Sometimes we need our defences. At other times, it is clear we are outgrowing them. There is something that you have outgrown. It has to do with your ideas about productivity, time, control and money. It has to do with abundance, trust and living with the fundamental belief that everything is going to turn out okay. You are ready to be much more vulnerable and exposed in life. You don’t have to hide behind being organised, perfect, in control or financially secure and stable.

Likewise, you are being stripped of internal beliefs that are failing you, perhaps externally as well. Whether this seems to be your choice or not, make no mistake, it is your own spirit in cahoots with the loving spirit of life that has brought this situation about. You are being guided to trust!

SEEING THE TRUE YOU

Sometimes we believe what others tell us we are, as though the self we see reflected back to us through their eyes is truth. You have been putting rather too much faith in the reflections others have of you – to the point that you might not be honouring all that you are and all that you are becoming, because you believe too little of yourself.

You are to begin to develop the art of direct perception. This is the ability to recognise yourself not only in the eyes of others, but from how you feel about yourself, how you experience yourself and how you observe yourself (with compassion and kindness) from within. This is a step towards a radical empowerment that does not require perfection in order for you to recognise you are loveable and have much to offer. It is empowerment based on the acceptance of all that you are.

If you are getting confused about who you are and your motives or actions based on what others are saying or how they are responding to you, step back. In your quest to be a responsible person, you may be unintentionally taking on the feelings of others, making their reflections of you more than they are in truth. More often than not reflections are more about the state of the reflector than what is being reflected. Let those external perceptions go. Can you just acknowledge yourself? Do so and be free!

Wishing you a glorious week. Remember to step into and celebrate your magnitude at every opportunity, the world needs you! Magnitude is available in an instant. Believe that you are. Believe you can handle it. Believe you are not alone. Huge hugs and if I could make the plunking sound of a crow I would, to remind you to laugh!
