February 27th Weekly Reading and New Moon

Happy glorious Monday delicious one! Did you celebrate the New Moon last night? It was a gorgeous New Moon in Pisces with a solar eclipse. I personally took a bit of time and space, lit a candle, had some lovely music playing and wrote out my New Moon wishes. If you have no clue as to how to do such a thing, then check out this post on 10 steps to writing kick arse New Moon wishes! It’s a great way to harness the manifestation power and plant the seeds of new creations, or strengthen the desire for ongoing ones.

The cards that really wanted to come and play this week are a beautiful deck called Wild Kuan Yin Oracle. The art work is stupendous and has a very Tibetan feel to it, also the imagery of a wild Kuan Yin, a rebellious, playful, free being, really resonated with me this week. So in honour of that, the reading was done on a gorgeous white silk Tibetan prayer scarf that my brother brought back from his month long retreat and it is lightly embossed with mandalas that say “Om Mani Padme Hum.” Yum!!!

So let’s go see shall we what is calling to you or coming into your sphere of awareness this week. There is a visualisation if you want to take a few moments to get still.

Ready? So take a luscious deep breath and pick the card that calls to you.

Let’s go see, shall we?

TENDER TRUST, BELOVED BODY
I have so much that I want for you. I want you to experience all that life has to offer. I want you to see your dreams coming alive in the world. I want you to feel at home here upon earth, and to realise you have come here not only to serve, but to take delight, to become alive, to exercise your power of choice to manifest a destiny that is brilliant and beautiful and perfectly suited to you. So I have given you a sacred animal, a devoted body that has offered its entire life in service to your soul growth. This is a precious gift and one worthy of respect. When you love this sacred animal, and let him/her love you in return, your body and soul become as one, a divine wild love child of life.

The Divine Mother is bringing you something special – it may be an experience, a relationship, a spiritual or material gift, an opportunity, or any combination of these things. If you have been wondering if something you have dreamed of can come to life, can be made manifest in the physical world Yes! Be present to recognise and receive the gifts and opportunities that are rightfully yours. Take time to be open and connected to your physical body and the physical reality you can experience through being connected to your body. Look around you. Feel what is happening within you and around you too.

You are at a point on your journey where something in the spiritual realms wants to come to life in the physical world. There is an inspiration, idea or plan that is ready to take form, to take shape, to become more than a fantasy and become a living reality. Your body is like a holy instrument through which the sacred breath can flow and create sound. It is the vehicle through which the inspiration can become a manifest reality.

If you have struggled with body image, eating or health concerns, a resolution will come. You need to heal the relationship between you and your body so your dreams can manifest more often and with greater pleasure on your part. Why not give up trying to punish, push or force your body, or control and dominate her with your mind. Explore and find a way to relate to your body as a friend. Your body loves you.

THE SLAVE DANCES INTO FREEDOM
I overcome restraint, imprisonment and conflict with a greater power, that of love. You have been on a path that no longer serves your highest good. Whether you believe you have chosen that path or it seems to have taken on a life of its own through habit and momentum, the time has come for you to be free from it. I shall free you from the negative influence of even the most persistent struggle or devastating conditions with one simple gesture. Do not be attached to the war you have endured, my beloved wild warrior. It is over by my grace. You are enslaved no longer. It is your time to step forwards, you are granted a free pass by the hand of grace and a new reality of freedom is yours. Feel no guilt or fear over this. It is your time to dance from slavery into freedom. Others will join you when their time comes. No longer are you required to go into battle. Come join my joyful dance of freedom.

No matter what the circumstances may be, or whether you think something should be ending now, the higher truth is that you have been granted honourable discharge for karmic duty completed. Soon you will be experiencing life in a completely different way, free from a legacy of darkness that once held you down, trapped in conflict that perhaps even became bitter, disheartening and draining. This taste of freedom bestowed shall not only be sweet, it shall be utter and complete. It indicates nothing but a complete and clean ending and fresh new start in an entirely upgraded field of consciousness where enslavement is replaced with freedom.

The Divine loves your fighting spirit, but you are to be protected from a too-long battle that you have been involved in or even waging that could poison your beautiful heart with bitterness leaving you depleted. Instead, it is recognised that you are in need of solace, sweetness and a sense of purposeful passion that does not dry you out, but fills you and allows you to offer healing to the world rather than trying to bend the world to your will.

For now, focus on you. It may be that your thriving beyond the war zone becomes an inspiration that empowers others to make similar choices. So accept this gift for yourself without condition. Your release is unconditional. You don’t have to do anything to earn it or grab it or hold it. It is given – now.

SISTER OF SHAMBHALA SHOWS THE WAY
You have many brothers and sisters who are guiding you now. They understand where you are at on your divine path and the way to successfully navigate all matters of concern, so that you can cross the threshold from the old world to the golden temple. Your prayers for your purpose, to be revealed and to manifest, have been heard as have your prayers for help in all matters, and you shall be shown the way through, supported, every step of the way.

Every human being has a divine life purpose. This may manifest as a particular vocation to fulfill, but even the most soul-satisfying work will only be a part of that divine purpose. The purpose itself is to master particular lessons so that you can grow at a soul level, each being taking a step towards greater wholeness according to the wisdom of one’s own soul. There is no wisdom in comparing your own path, or appearance of success, to that of another.

You are being given a nudge on your soul path. It is either a step to be taken, a prayer to be said, or belief to be had, and comfort – even in the face of an apparently great challenge – that a path will open up for you, even though you will need to trust in the timing of this and the way it happens. You are being given affirmation that the path you are on is being drawn into alignment with the divine plan for your life by the loving assistance of these great beings. You are also being asked to learn to rely more upon your team of spiritual guidance for assistance.

If there is any matter with which you have reached a dead end – perhaps through trying to figure out a way to make something work, to resolve a relationship, a habit or anything at all really, no matter how hugely significant or small but persistently demanding of your attention. This matter needs to be sorted out a spiritual level. Spiritual adjustments are sometimes needed. It is just the way of things, and you have been given assurance that the brothers and sisters of light who can help you in this process will do so. Trust them, trust yourself to ask.

Wishing you an absolutely delicious week filled with ease, effortlessness and flow – oh yes and yummy cupcakes!

Happy glorious Monday and almost Solstice (I love Solstice), to me it is a time of reflection, going inwards and really having a nosy around my soul and psyche. This year we will have our ritual of a gorgeous cedar spiral walk and I am making a glorious Solstice smudge out of Frankincense, Myrrh, Cedar and Juniper – I will write more about that tomorrow. It’s also the birthday of my youngest monster, so a great lesson in balancing frenetic boys and celebrating the inward. HA! On the weekend we also lit the 4th candle of Advent – which is the candle of Peace.

Ahhh Peace, such a lovely sounding word, but often a difficult state of being to get into. What does Peace mean to you? To me it is inclusion, acceptance, understanding and a strong hopeful love that radiates out from every cell of my being. Sometimes it is there very fleetingly and other times it seems to last much longer.

So with Peace in mind let’s go see if we can find some prior to picking cards.

So let’s go pick.

TURQUOISE LOTUS MOTHER

Turquoise Lotus Mother brings precious healing to you now. Allow yourself to be lifted out of your struggle, beloved one. An old pattern is finally in its death throes, something that weighed heavily on you from your past. This is can be one of the most testing times to allow something to go, just when it seems to be demanding of your time, focus and attention. Yet do not doubt, you have actually learned the lessons it required of you and now you are being blessed with an opportunity to receive karmic healing.

Your Soul has learned what it needed from the situation and it has asked for a divine hand up, so that it might continue on its divine path of growth without unnecessary karmic weight pulling it down. Listen to your guidance now. If you have been working with crystals, turquoise in particular is recommended to empower you and help you to heal.

DAUGHTER OF THE PHOENIX

When the Soul is ready to spread its wings, it goes through a deep cleansing, purification and preparation for new levels of spiritual wisdom, power and light. Just like the Phoenix that is baptised through celestial fire to be born anew, you are going through such a phase of heavenly purification, preparation and initiation. This is an advanced phase of soul growth and soon after you will enjoy greater spiritual peace, divine power and advancement on your divine life path, Kuan Yin, Daughter of the Phoenix, has been through fire both physical and heavenly and has ascended into a position of great spiritual peace, power and authority. She guides you now to claim your rebirth and ascend.

Do not fear the challenges. You would not be taking these “spiritual exams” if you were not ready to live at a higher spiral of consciousness. Have some faith in your own progress and remember not to get attached to what is “leaving” your consciousness as you are preparing to ascend. Surrender that which needs to be burned away.

SHINING LOTUS

There are times when it makes sense to be discreet, until you find your inner strength so that you feel empowered enough to share your thoughts, feelings and beliefs without wavering, even in the face of challenge by another. At other times, we benefit ourselves and others by taking a risk and allowing the inner lotus blossom of our true Self to shine forth, for all to behold.

Have you been hiding in the spiritual closet, beloved? Sometimes it makes sense to avoid sharing your thoughts and feelings about spiritual beliefs and other personal matters until they are clearer in your own mind. However, there are also times when hiding your deepest truths away from the world will no longer protect you but actually hold you back from living your divine destiny, shining the lotus light of your own Soul and walking your path in the world.

If there is something that you have been holding within, you are guided to listen to your heart for the right time and the best way to share it. Be gentle with yourself and know that you have a right to be here on this planet in your own truth and that no matter what the response, whether a response of affirmation and love, or a response of discomfort, your truth serves the greater good.

So delicious one, we will be back on January 2nd – the first Monday of 2017! With Mercury Retrograde and the holiday season in full tilt, I wish for you and yours Peace, Hope, Love and Joy (oh and lots of mince pies!)

Weekly Reading December 12th

Jenny Heston · 4:15 pm ·

Glorious Happy Monday to you delicious one! We had a large dump of snow here this last weekend, so everything is garbed in glorious pristine white and looking very fresh and crisp. Which in turn will reflect back the glorious Full Moon that is happening tomorrow (the last supermoon of 2016). This past Sunday we lit the 3rd candle of advent which is Joy. Personally I love the word Joy and try and embody it daily. On the weekend I had a great discussion with a good friend about the meaning of the word – she felt it was exactly the same as happiness – it most certainly isn’t!

To me Happiness is normally a transitory thing and can be brought about by something external and is more focused on the self’s pleasure. Whilst Joy is the fibre of your Soul and your inner self. I love what Danielle LaPorte says about it: – “ Happiness is like rising bubbles – delightful and inevitably fleeting. Joy is the oxygen – ever present.”

So I invite you to come play and reconnect to your Joy. Gently close your eyes down and begin to breathe deeply in through your nose and sigh it out through your mouth. Feel the cares, concerns, disappointments, any need to control fall away like big fat snowflakes drifting past you to land at your feet. Keep breathing in this way and I invite you to see in your mind’s eye that you are on the side of a lovely large mountain, where the snow is deep, the air is crisp and fresh and the trees are ladened with snow. Over your left arm you are carrying a large basket and in your right mitted hand are the strings to your toboggan. You are warm and cosy and your nose is tingly with the cold crisp air. Breathe in, breathe out. As you look down into your basket you see that it is filled with all sorts of edible decorations. There are pine cones covered in fat and seeds, strings of popcorn and cranberries, large nuts on strings, dried fruit wreaths, straw angels, and a myriad of other lovely decorations.

As you make your way further up the mountain, through the snow you see ahead of you a glorious fir tree with her sparkly snow dress on. You park your toboggan in the snowbank and start to decorate her with all your gorgeous decorations. Slowly and reverently you hang, weave and place all your offerings on the tree and when you are finished you step back a few paces to have a look. She is glorious and you feel your heart swell. As you start to walk away you hear a rustle, and then another, a bird call which is soon answered from another tree nearby. As you turn around to see what is happening, you are filled with such Joy and contentment. Squirrels are scrambling up the tree for the nuts you hung, birds are hanging off the large seed stuffed pinecones, a deer is gently nibbling on one of the straw dolls and a large hare is tentatively testing out a dried fruit wreath. All your gorgeous gifts are being received and Joy swells all within you and radiates out around you. Breathe in, breathe out. After watching this wonderful animal celebration for a while, with a large smile on your face, a tender tear in your eye you turn and tuck yourself onto your toboggan and scoot down the mountainside with the snow spraying around you and your laughter pouring out of you. You are alive, you are loved, you are Joy! Breathe in and as you breathe out send a gentle blessing and a thanks. Then when you’re ready slowly open your eyes and come back into your body.

Ready to see what guidance and insight is for you?

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.

SPIRALS OF MANIFESTATION

The creative rebellious path of love moves in spirals. It is not linear. Sometimes our mind decides that the way forward is to take clear steps from one point to the next logical point. However, there is a genius within that can guide us on an alternative route. This can happen through trust and wisdom rather than rigid adherence to what on the surface appears to be logical progression.

You are in the midst of a spiral of manifestation. Something is coming into being, even if you think it is further away than ever before. How amazing it will seem when what you have been dreaming of, falls into place. Suddenly what you have been thinking of creating will plonk into your reality, seemingly out of nowhere – because it was just around the bend, just out of view on the spiral of manifestation and you could not see it coming.

In truth, it was coming to you all along! Sometimes when we feel the furthest away from what we want, we are actually closer than ever before. Just one turn on the spiral loop of creation can see your manifestation taking root in the world. You must hold true to your faith and keep working on your progress. You are a big, brave, ancient soul. You have enough chutzpah to believe it so that you can see it sooner, bigger and brighter! All is unfolding perfectly whether you feel it right now or not. You don’t need the anxiety that comes from rushing towards your destiny. Try not to worry quite so much about the future. You will attract what you want and need so much more enjoyably if you relax and deal with the here and now.

CONSCIOUS CONNECTIONS

There is a call for more intimacy in your immediate relationships. There is an opening for heart to heart communication that can salvage and restore a broken relationship or friendship, if you are willing to honour your differences and look to what unites you.

We are not here to judge each other, just to love, to be loved, and to let go of those that cannot accept us as we open up to those who can. It may or may not be obvious at first but kindred spirits are going to enter your life to help you connect with your deeper feelings and creativity. They will give wings to your inspirational ideas and big dreams.

Sometimes webs that have joined people together are broken and that is appropriate as people may outgrow what once held them together. Remain open to healing connections and to allow people to be close to your. Trust in the process that draws people in and out of your life. Resist nothing and seek wisdom in all.

Wishing you a glorious Full Moon, warm gingerbread people, cosy soxs and JOY!

Weekly Reading November 28th

Jenny Heston · 3:37 pm ·

Happy glorious Monday gorgeous one and upcoming New Moon! How has your week been? Here the snow line is very, very slowly coming down the mountainside and if one is not living on the peak, one is experiencing grey and rain (which I find rather depressing, but hey, I have no control over it).

This last week I have been paying attention to all the signs and messages that have been flooding in and if I were to sum them up in one word, the word is Love. Love for self, love for your body, love for others (even when they push your buttons), love for your community, love for this glorious earth and the water, love for your connection to something bigger than you – Love. So with Love being so prevalent the gorgeous Kuan Yin Oracle deck insisted that it be used this week. Also, the song that has been looping through my head is the Beatles song – All you need is love. I can’t even remember the last time I heard that song, so I went and explored the lyrics and they were very appropriate:-

There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.

Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.

Nothing you can say, but you can learn

How to play the game.

It’s easy.

Nothing you can make that can’t be made.

No one you can save that can’t be saved.

Nothing you can do, but you can learn

How to be you in time.

It’s easy.

All you need is love, all you need is love,

All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.

(Did you find yourself singing that in your head?)

So I invite you to come for a little visualisation walk on the topic of Love.

Gently close your eyes down and breathe long and deep in through your nose and out through your mouth. Feel your face relax and your shoulders drop down, keep breathing in this way and see in your mind’s eye a glorious glade under a clear night sky that is filled with stars. Breathe in the cool, crisp, fresh air, feel it filling your lungs, cleansing and clearing. Across the glade there is a lovely waterfall that bounces over the rocks and lands with delight in a great big pool of water that is edged with a rock wall.

You make your way over to the waterfall and sit on the rock wall and listen as the water sings you it’s song as it burbles and dances down over the rocks. Feel the gentle mist dusting your face as the water splashes into the pond. Keep breathing. As you look around you see a golden ball in the soft lush moss at the base of the wall inviting you to play. When you pick it up you are surprised to feel that it is warm and it radiates out a gentle heat into your hands. You toss the ball back and forth between your hands and revel in its golden glow and how it reflects the light of the stars, when suddenly it slips and falls into the pond and vanishes from sight.

As you lean over the water to see if you can reach it the golden light that was the ball gets bigger and bigger until it is radiating up and out from the pond and moving all around you and you feel safely held as if you are in the arms of someone who loves you unconditionally, purely and completely. In that space you feel your heart opening and stretching reflecting the love that you are receiving and giving of your own love. You feel complete, safe, strong and that you are Love. Stay in that place, breathe it in, integrate it, feel deep into the core of your being how radiant, real and true this love that you are co-creating is. Be with this light. Be at peace and let the love flow around you, to you and from you. When you are ready, simply open your eyes and say I give love, I receive love, I am always becoming love. You have finished your healing process.

Shall we go see?

MAIDEN OF MA GU

You are asked to honour that light can come from even the darkest beginnings, beloved one. In fact, sometimes we need to enter into the unknown parts of ourselves to find exactly what we need to grow in peace, creative self-fulfilment and happiness. The challenge can be to trust that we will arise from this darker place again. Just as the Spring always follows the Winter, beloved, so too will any inner work with the shadow precede a beautiful rebirth for you.

Noticing our judgments of others is the quickest way to get in touch with the Shadow Self trying to grow and heal into our conscious awareness so that we can become more whole, empowered and divinely delicious as we were always meant to be! There is a part of you that is trying to emerge. You may have judgments of others on one issue or trait that seems to be more repetitive or noticeable of late. You are guided to sense what beauty within you could be underneath these judgments, trying to make its way into your conscious awareness, bringing you more of your Self to enjoy and share with the world. Be patient and open-minded as you wait for your intuition to help you realise what is growing within you, triggering your judgement of another.

The Shadow holds great beauty within, beloved, and there is no need to fear it.

IMMORTAL TREASURES

You carry within you precious Immortal Treasures, beloved. They exist beyond life and death, belonging to the celestial, heavenly realms of the Divine presence within you. Kuan Yin now guides you to honour these treasures, the gifts of your Soul, which include the ability that you have to transmit healing. Honour yourself as a Healer beloved. Whether formally or informally, your Soul brings a special healing light to humanity. You have divine support in your role as a healer, in whatever way, usual or highly unusual, that this is unfolding for you now.

Remember to take care of yourself too. An empty cup cannot fill another. It is better to allow your inner cup to be spiritually filled, and emotionally and physically replenished through balanced self-care, a bit of indulgence balanced with loving discipline and boundaries that make you feel safe and secure within. To find the right way to care for yourself, explore what might work for you. It might be yoga and meditation, a little sacred time each day to sit with crystal or talk from your heart with your Guidance, a health retreat, time in nature, a good book and some time laughing or playing with loved ones. Your healing ability will find new levels of power and strength through exploration of self-care. Trust your intuition and allow yourself to honour your own special light and the need that you might have for receiving healing just for you at this time.

SWEEPING SISTER WILLOW

Sweeping Sister Willow gently brings you healing for forgiveness and release of old pain now. Let her branches gracefully sweep any sadness and pain from your heart and Soul. Your time for greater inner freedom is dawning and the cleansing sadness and healing of forgiveness is the pathway to the greater freedom now. You deserve this freedom and you are swiftly becoming ready to gift it to yourself with the help of Kuan Yin. Forgiveness is a way to raise your vibration by shedding old energies that drain you and prevent you from having all your power available to you now. It is chance to free yourself from suffering and empower yourself.

As you forgive others you also need to remember to forgive yourself for being human and needing to learn and grow, just like everyone else. You do not have to be perfect and sometimes it is in forgiving ourselves that we become most able to forgive others too. We suffer less from harsh judgements which do not feel good for our heart and drain our soul forces. Instead we experience more kindness, sweet nurturing and enjoy more peace of mind.

At present you are growing spiritually, and you need your power in the present moment to fuel your process. Like surfing a wave, you are about to be lifted, so forgive with sincerity and wisdom, and know that this doesn’t mean you are permitting future abuse. It means you are ready to have your power in the present moment, you have compassion and allow the Universe to direct the learning of every being on this planet, you let go of thoughts of revenge and you free yourself from the past.

Wishing you a wonderful week and a delicious New Moon. Remember to come from your heart – it’s safe to do that.

Weekly Reading – November 21st and Thanksgiving

Jenny Heston · 2:58 pm ·

Glorious happy Monday, and to my wonderful American friends – Happy Thanksgiving! I have to admit that I find it a tad odd to have Thanksgiving so close to Xmas, but hey I love to celebrate most everything (ask my kids). It could be winter solstice, summer solstice, equinox,Chinese New Year, Easter, Valentine’s, the sun is shining, the snow is falling – you name it! Even simple things like the first flowers of spring, or having gorgeous flowers on my desk whilst it is grey and rainy outside. Life is a celebration and quite frankly I chose to celebrate as much as possible.

Thus, with Thanksgiving in mind, let’s play a game before you pull a card. Let’s play the being thankful game – ready? Okay, gently close your eyes down take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale with a sigh. Doesn’t that feel good? Okay, let’s do it again. Large delicious breath in through the nose and with a glorious sigh, exhale it. With your eyes gently closed down I invite you to think of all the various people, places and things that you are thankful for – they could be present day, past day or future day.

List them all in your mind one at a time and as you bring them into your consciousness, smile and blow them a kiss (yes, seriously blow them a kiss). See the kiss leaving your hand and turning into a gorgeous gold butterfly that flies off to that person and gently lands on their right cheek and brushes them softly with your blessing, thanks and appreciation.

Now, think of all the people, places, things or situations that you have a challenge with, or that you don’t feel so kindly towards. Take a deep breath in and exhale. Bring them up one at a time in your mind’s eye and blow them a kiss. This time as the kiss leaves your hand it turns into a delightful little pink heart filled with love and forgiveness and wings its way through the ether to gently land where it is meant to. Another big breath in and as you exhale wrap your arms around yourself in a HUGE bear hug and see glorious golden light surrounding you like a cocoon and give thanks for your body, your heart, your soul, your mind and the delicious light that is you. Big squeeze and as you release your arms gently open your eyes and smile.

So shall we go look?

THE WORD WANTS TO BE WRITTEN

You might have been taught that creativity is something you have to work hard to access, or that finding your life purpose is so difficult that you must search high and low for it. Or creating a living doing what you love is impossible.

Yet what you are is within you and wants to come out at every available opportunity. You don’t have to struggle so much. It is more about allowing space for it to manifest and to let the energy flow. The effort is in getting out of the way, not in making something happen. As for being yourself, that is the foundation from which your life path and joy will reveal itself. Being yourself becomes easier when you give yourself permission to love, honour and accept yourself in all circumstances, especially the ones where you might be more tempted to reject and judge.

What you are dreaming of or seek to manifest, is actually very natural for you. That is why you want to do it. Now it is about chipping away at the walls of shame, perhaps with a defiant “Who the hell cares, I am here and I am going to love myself anyway.” Release old emotional wounds and break away from any restraints to unconditional self-love.

What you want to write, sing, dance, create or become is you. It is natural. Drop your defences, get into the grit and confront the power than any old shaming has had over you. It’s finished now. It is time for you to be naked with yourself, acknowledge how gorgeous you are and get on with your work. Life is urging you to do so, because the work wants to happen. What you want to create, wants to be created. Step firmly over any remnants of the past that have been in your way and stay on your path.

NEW BIRTH GUARDED VIGILANTLY

In every creative process, in every birth, in every opening of a new cycle of life, there is a time of vulnerability. This vulnerability is natural and appropriate. It is the foal learning to become steady on its legs Those legs will become remarkably powerful in time, but the process of growth and maturity has to take place, and that requires some wobbly first attempts. It cannot be any other way.

Within you, there is fresh new life emerging like a vibrant green shoot rising up from the earth. This new life is in need of your attention and your care. This could be a new relationship that needs tending with interest and kindness. It could be a new idea that you need to nurture into fullness, because it is going to hold special purpose for your life path. You will not always need to cloak that which is young. Soon enough it will be able to stand up for itself, but for now, your vigilance and care is most certainly required.

Hug your ideas to yourself as though they were a new lover you cannot bear to share with another. In time the world will be the lover receiving the love in your idea. For now, it is for you to love, for you to hold and for you to observe. Keep your sanctuary pure, this may be your room, a sacred place you visit, your own body, into which you retreat in relaxation or meditation. Sometimes you will find that others have taken up residence in your sanctuary. It is time to focus on the purity, light, love and compassion that dwells within you. Everything else will come and go, and that is just fine. But the purity within your sanctuary is eternal. Firmly denounce any intrusion upon the new life by doubt, fear or sabotage.

DIVING FOR LIGHT

How brave you are! You are diving for light. It’s easier to look for light in the heavenly and sweet than to look for the light in that which is dark. This is an advanced task that only a rebellious and brave heart will attempt.

You may not feel that you have taken such a journey by choice. Yet you have taken this wise challenge on from deep within your soul.

This oracle speaks of a time when you are called into darkness through life circumstances, situations, relationship challenges or inner struggles that you don’t understand. That darkness may be a creative block, a sense of being in a void or feelings of depression, rage, sadness, fear or anxiety. There may or may not be an obvious cause. The darkness might be generally accepted and socially acknowledged because there is a socially acceptable or obvious reason for it. However, there may be no obvious justification for your experience of darkness. Just know that you are actually on track and right where you need to be.

Our creative process and our spiritual path go through similar turning of the wheel process. You need to be alert to sabotage and criticism. Don’t carry other people’s fear for them. Stay in your heart. Will you stay in your heart or will you be seduced by darkness and overcome by anger or sleepiness. This is a spiritual test and a threshold for all true creative work. Stay connected to your heart, all will be well.

Interesting to see that New Birth came up again this week, so there is someone who really needs to hear that. Wishing you all a glorious week and if Thanksgiving is happening for you, enjoy, laugh and relax. See you next week.
