Weekly Reading April 3rd.

Holy Hannah, we are already in April! Okay, I have to ask, am I the only demented one that loves April Fools day and likes to play practical jokes and little twists of the mind with people? In my world, if it is harmless, no one gets hurt (possibly confused), then it’s all good – oh yes and all the things have to stop by noon. A few years ago I altered all the clocks in the house by 2 hours and so the kids dashed to the bus stop about 2 hours before a bus would be there. I will be honest, I let them wait for a good 30 minutes and when I pulled up in the vehicle they were highly concerned they had missed the bus, something had happened, where was the bus? (I know, what a horrid mother am). So I explained to them what had happened, thanked them for the saran wrapped toilet and the salt in the sugar and we all went for a yummy breakie!

This weeks reading was done outside as the sun decided to shine for a brief while today, and seriously with 6 months of what feels like continual grey, I had to get outside. It was delicious, the wind was picking up and it made the sound of waves whooshing through the tall cedar branches. Have to say I love wind, it is one of my favourite elements. It feels so freeing and inviting to lift up and get curious.

This weeks reading we are working with the glorious Sacred Rebel deck (have I said I love this deck?) The wonderful crystals that chose to come to play are Kyanite, Smoky quartz and Emerald. If you feel like a little help with grounding and centring there is a quick visualisation for you. So take a breath, trust and pick the cards that are calling to you this week.

Shall we go see?

VISIONS OF LIFE BEYOND DEATH

Sacred vision is awakening within you. You’re becoming blessed with the ability to truly see. To see what is real rather than what appears to be. This is true insight. What was once considered consequential may soon be found to hold little consequence after all. What was once dismissed as an irritation or irrelevance may be seen to have great spiritual significance.

If you have been wondering about your life path or whether you should take action on a project or you need inspiration to really move you out of a slump you have fallen into, then this oracle brings you a message of hope. You will receive your vision. You will be graced with a way out of the stagnancy.

You are leaving behind a smaller view for a more expansive one. You are watched over in life and held in protection. Shift your perspective and look at an issue of concern a little differently. Your ability to be inspired and see the light in all things is unfolding. It must be nourished in your heart with loving acceptance because you are going to help others through your vision, your art and how you choose to be in the world.

BE THE HUNTER NOT THE HUNTED

Do you feel you are at the beck and call of circumstances, situations and relationships that are outside of your control? Is your attention being called away from what you love – from your passionate focus upon your own journey and creative self-expression? Are you feeling roped into becoming a support, tonic, saviour and heal-all for others?

There is a big difference between healthy supportiveness in a relationship – which includes healthy self-support – and ignoring your own journey out of misplaced guilt, shame, unworthiness or the belief that the needs of others are more important than your own. That is not compromise. That is unhealthy and neglectful of yourself.

You are being asked to see through the assumptions, expectations, tantrums etc that may be put upon you by yourself or others. See through them to the truth! You are capable of seeing the truth, out-smarting old patterns and responding more creatively to craft new and improved relationships. There is a message coming your way and it will be important to you and you are not to paint it as anything more or less than what it is. Sit with you heart. Take your time. Even if there is a deadline for your answer.

You will be able to bend and stretch time so that in your relaxation, you can feel for what your truth is, in the situation at hand and respond appropriately. Mother Nature offers you the wisdom medicine of the owl – the ability to hear what is not spoken and see what is hidden in darkness. Trust what you feel beyond appearances.

RELEASE THE DARK WOUND, LET LOVE LIVE

If we detach something from its source too soon, trying to force it to become what it is not yet ready or willing to become, we can unintentionally sap it of its strength and kill it.

There is a dark wound in the consciousness of humanity which demands perfection and denies process. If you have decided you are not good enough or worthy enough to succeed before you’ve given it everything you’ve got and asked for divine help, then this dark wound has you in its grasp. Let go of the death-grip of perfectionism and let yourself and your ideas live.

Love is abundant, creative and inspiring. It moves us so much more joyously and creatively than fear. Release the dark wounding of false belief. There are so many stories of vastly successful artists who very nearly binned the project that was the making of them and their career, because of the despair fostered by their own fear, anxiety and dark would. They doubted, they were uncertain. Was their work any good? They nearly lost it all to fear. Do not let this happen to you. It must be allowed to be what it is, and only time, love, patience and attention will reveal it.

Wishing you a fantabulous week filled with sunbeams, magic and wonderment!

Spring Equinox Reading!

Jenny Heston · 3:13 pm ·

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.

Weekly Reading February 13th

Jenny Heston · 4:08 pm ·

Happy glorious Monday delicious one! Here in the snowy wilds of British Columbia it is Family Day (which is a stat holiday). So we have had a glorious time going hiking in the deep snow and playing, which has been awesome fun! We actually broke all records for snow last week as we received dump, after dump, after dump. I was so glad to see the blue sky, sun shining and no snow falling this morning – as much as I appreciate all the seasons, winter can seem to be a tad too long for me.

How was your full moon/lunar eclipse experience? For quite a few people that I talked to, the energy had been rather intense and left them feeling a bit fractured and discombobulated. This is when it’s important to practice self care, eat well, rest, journal, work with gorgeous crystal energy and drink water! Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and whether you have a sweetie or not, practice self love and as you go about your day smile and radiate out love. The glorious part of doing this is that the love bounces back to you tenfold! How are you going to spend your time tomorrow? I personally have bought a plethora of red carnations, had them all individually wrapped and will gift them to the amazing women in my world that I am thankful for. Oh yes, and all the food at dinner will be heart shaped!

Okay, let’s go see what guidance, inspiration, healing or support wants to play with you this week. If you feel inclined there is a lovely visualisation to help you get centred and grounded.

Ready to go see?

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!

BIG BOLD VISION

You were not born to play a small role in life. You have the ability to dream big. Even if you have absolutely no idea about how your visions can come to pass or what all the details may look like, you can access the heart and guts of a vision by tapping into your wildest dreams and surrendering attachment to exactly how it will all work out. The details are up to the creative genius of the universe. You are an active, contributing participant but not the sole player in your life journey.

You are being asked to remember that when something is right for you, endless synchronicities and support will flow your way, at the right time and in the right way. Stay open, receptive, playful and surrendered. You are about to receive or be invited to become part of, a grand visionary beginning. Trust your heart, be still with your choices and when the time feels right and truthful, leap! Trust in what you perceive.

Even if it conflicts with what everyone else around you is saying or the surface of things, trust your inner perceptions. Trust that things will be coming up roses for you. Even if everything seems to be a bit of a shambles now, it’s really just the essential mess before a truly spectacular success.

SACRED FOOL

The fool is a great rebel, able to thwart convention and tell the truth without restraint. Your heart is a wonderful, powerful, sacred fool! It cares not for the right way to do things. It cares not for what the mind says is real and not real. It lives according to an inner wisdom that cannot be dictated to or controlled by anything. It loves, it lives and it is what is!

It’s time to take your offer to the world. Don’t try to be appropriate, don’t try to be socially acceptable and worry about what others may think – just be. If you want to wear a mad hat whilst doing so, fine.

It’s time to leave behind what has been because it no longer feels right to stay attached to it. Your mind is a monkey puppet on strings. More often than not, it is cajoled into fear when it could be playfully dwelling in the radical spontaneity of life. So, the sacred fool in you urges your mind to let itself be pulled into joy by your heart strings not into fear and doubt by media or anything else. It’s time for you to play.

It’s time for you to let life happen in a completely unreserved, unscripted way. Life wants to operate more radically through you so that you become the conduit through which miracles and crazy wild synchronicity can occur. If you find yourself making choices that have others questioning your sanity, then you are right on course. You are just approaching enlightened awareness. There is a moment – sometimes a rather long one – when we wake up to life, shed our attachment to mass opinion and float in a completely different state of being. Stay on your path, stay on the journey, remember to take nothing too seriously and it will all work out perfectly.

Wishing you a fantabulous Valentine’s Day, a glorious week and remember to Play!
