Weekly Reading May 23rd

Happy Glorious Monday and here in Canada it is a holiday, Victoria Day in fact. So to celebrate a lovely long weekend it was filled with yoga, family, friends, logger sports (yes I did say that outloud). There is something fascinating with watching a man run up an 80 foot pole with a rope around his waist, ring a bell and then dash back down. Today was a glorious hike and explore through an old cemetery and along the side of the mountain.

There is something so enervating and healing about being in the woods, totally surrounded by moss, trees, shrubs – a pure bubble of green and wayyyy down below you can hear the creek roaring, as it is so swollen with the spring runoff, over the rocks and fallen down trees. There was a moment where I just had to stop moving as the Joy and the connection to Pachamama and the Divine was just coursing through me and all I could do was smile and breathe it all in.

So I invite you to do the same. Stop moving, stop “thinking” and start breathing and feeling.

Imagine you are in a rich, deep woods and you are walking along a thin trail. Down to one side the mountain falls away and over the moss covered rocks and fallen trees you can hear and smell the water rushing below. Up on the other side the mountain reaches for the skies and everywhere you look there is a different shade of green. It would take you most of your day to count all the variations and shades of green that pour into your mind’s eye and surge through your body, so instead just breathe it in.

You make your way along the path and after a while you realise it is leading you down to the rushing water and you can feel the air get more moist with the spray that is floating up between the trees. You come around a corner and there in front of you is a gorgeous grotto of large rocks all covered with moss from years upon years of growth, like a gorgeous thick living carpet. You clamber over a fallen tree and sit amidst the rocks, leaning your back against the soft moss and looking at the water rushing by. As you come to a place of stillness and quiet you can hear the song of the water as it goes by on its merry way and it sings to you of release, cleansing and healing. Can you hear the song? This song is just for you, every cell in your body is responding to the healing green and the song is guiding you forward and holding you oh so tenderly. Reminding you how much you are loved and how treasured you are.

So with that in your heart, trust yourself.

With that trust still present and your heart open, let’s go see…..

TRUST YOURSELF

You are wise. You know how to grow, even without knowing how you know.

Like the ancient forests, spectacular galaxies and the acorn that becomes the oak, there is natural intelligence for growth that is beyond logic and reason. It just happens. You are growing. You really are. Don’t doubt it.

Even if you don’t see it yet, remember that so much is happening when the seed is still unbroken in the ground. It’s gathering up all its’ might, power and force that it will need to push above the soil and burst up into the light. Trust yourself. You know how to grow. Don’t over think things, it won’t help you. Don’t worry so much you are doing a great job in this game of life. When you trust yourself, you relax and you can heed your own wisdom.

You have a big destiny this lifetime and much to experience. Don’t resist any points of instability in your life. This even applies to your most treasured relationships or creative projects. That instability is just a growing pain because more consciousness, more love and more light wants to infiltrate and pervade all parts of your life. Choose to flow and grow.

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.

DEFEND TO THE END THE WORTHWHILE

Beneath the lies and illusions, pretty as they seem, you know what is worthwhile. All that is genuinely and truly essential for the heart to throb with life is worthwhile. Anything that dulls it or suffocates its vibrant aliveness, must be questioned, challenged, and more than likely cast aside, for the heart is our key to living an authentic life.

You are a sacred warrior – a defender of the heart. You have cried genuine tears of your own grief and also the grief of the world. You have felt the need to protect the presence of love, for whilst it is exceptionally powerful, it can too easily be smothered under lies and fear.

The sacred warrior is vigilant that the presence of love is not chipped away by fear, criticism, doubt or untruths. The darkness will be intelligent and sneaky. It will tell you that it doesn’t matter, that this one time you can forget what you promised, that you are just one person and that you can’t make difference. The sacred warrior within will fight with love and honour to be true to what has meaning, and never, ever allow it to be cast aside – even if it seems easier in the moment. You’re being asked to stay strong and stand your ground. What is happening, or soon will be happening is worthwhile. So hold tight. Ask for help to heal.

Have a stupendous week!

Hello delicious lovelies. Happy Monday and gosh, we are half the way through May already! The month just seems to be flying by and it’s as if every other day there is a new flower blossoming into its full glory – I love Spring for the colours, smells and the sense of rejuvenation and flourishing. Currently in the garden the purple alium are up and they make me laugh as they are these huge spiky purple bobble head balls – very Dr. Seuss like.

On the weekend I spent some meditative and spiritually filled time harvesting wild roses; and let me tell you that if there is a heaven on earth it is standing in the midst of a huge patch of wild roses and drinking in the scent whilst the sun warms your back and flutterbys undulate around you. So now, brewing away I have a rose tincture, a rose oil and a rose quartz elixir. Can you say – let’s open up that heart chakra?

Okay let’s move onto this week’s reading. So on this day let’s set the intention, the intention of receptivity and openness. I invite you to take a lovely deep breath in through your nose, hold for 3 and then sigh it out through an open mouth. As you take another deep breath imagine you are in the most gorgeous garden, it could be wild and rampaging, or neat and manicured – your choice. Look around and see how all the plants are working together and how they are all supported by nature and the seasons. The colours, the scents, the foliage – all different, but all working together. Some things will thrive, others fall away, only to shift again as the seasons change. This is amazing organisational genius at work. Now see your soul like this garden, gorgeous and magnificent, loved and nurtured by your own spiritual gardener and from this place you dare to live creatively from you heart and to thrive, like a gorgeous flower. Take another deep breath and trust your inner knowing as you pick a card.

Have you picked? Ready to see the guidance from your own gorgeous spiritual gardener?

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!

LEGACY OF LIGHT

You are being asked to honour the legacy of light that is your sacred birthright. The legacy of light is your spiritual birthright to refine and shine your essence into the world….to be like a sun, radiant and unapologetic of your nature. The more you are nourished by this legacy of light from your past, the more you become a bearer of the legacy for those that will be supported by your light in the future. A creative choice you are making, or have made, or soon will make, is one that is in alignment with your sacred purpose and spiritual path of healing and growth. The legacy of light cannot be ignored without some detriment to your sense of well being. The issue at hand is one of utmost importance to your spiritual growth. The legacy of light also ask you to call on the unconditionally loving support that exists for you, every day. This light will offer you all manner of assistance. To not call upon it is like starving because you have no means to acquire food, whilst a feast lays before your eyes – if only you would partake of it! You have some special creative and healing offering to make to the world in this lifetime. You will leave a legacy of light for the greater good upon this planet and you will be lovingly supported in many ways by the great creative universal intelligence when you ask for help.

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.

I hope you have enjoyed this seed of guidance that you can now plant in your garden of intention and life this week. Remember your soul is like a garden and needs to be nourished with, water, sun, love and laughter! Have a delicious week.

Happy Monday! How are you on this lovely day?

I had so much fun doing this reading as the weather has been stupendous and I have spent the last two days playing in the dirt and making new homes for all my plants. It’s like therapy and grounding all in one session – I love it! Thus, I plonked myself down on the grass, surrounded by plants galore and bees buzzing in their lovely lazy way and really tapped into the nurturing energy of the earth. We are still working with the wonderful Sacred Rebels as they haven’t told me they are done yet.

So let’s tune in (as my gorgeous Yoga Guruess and mentor Sat Kaur would say), so that you are open and receptive to the guidance, input, healing or inspiration you need this week.

I invite you to start focusing on your breath, you want to breath into your belly and then eventually all the way down to your delicious toes. As you take in those long nourishing breaths imagine a winding river of golden light that starts below your feet. Sense it gathering there as a pool of liquid golden energy. It has an intelligence of its own and it winds its way into beautiful patterns before you, flowing with grace and playfulness. This river of light symbolises your life journey. Just notice it and and enjoy it. Your life journey is unique. You may focus on your own river or expand your awareness to sense the rivers of light that represent the journeys of those around you. No one has the same river or the exact same journey to take. As you follow your glorious golden river, see it come to a beautiful pool and there you can feel your truth, your being and the unconditional love of all that is holding you and whispering gently to you. When you feel ready, pick the card that resonates for you.

Now holding the energy that whatever you need is right here, right now – let’s go see.

RECEIVING

You are so loved. Your every need is witnessed and responded to by the universe. However, you sometimes forget this. You become swept up in the momentum of habitual consciousness, and you forget to take a moment to stop, breathe and be. In that moment you can receive the love of the universe that is receiving you. It will nourish you with contentment and energy. You have not done this enough so your soul is parched and drying out. Energy has been going out of you but there is not enough coming back in. It is time to bring something back in for you. Do you know how much joy the universe gains from being able to give to you? When you delight in what you receive, when you openly embrace a gift and are so happy with it, the universe is fully received by you. In this space there is joyful communion between you and life, energy flows more freely and magic happens. You are a radiant sun in human clothing. An exquisite life experience is your birthright. Enjoy it! Soak it up. All of it. Including the restoration of sacred rest. Forget your worries for a while. Switch off. Do something else. Let it all go and it will all flow.

POWER OF ATTRACTION

There is such wonder awaiting you. There are so many beautiful adventures and so much magic yet to be. Can you keep your heart open to what is coming towards you, without surrendering your experience of this moment y becoming too future oriented? You are a big soul and with that often comes big dreams. You might worry that you want too much out of life. Perhaps you think that you are only capable of small dreams. This oracle is reminding you there are stages of creation. You can’t build a house without a foundation and then flooring. Your big life dreams are a work in progress. Just like you. You are going to attract whatever is needed to complete your work in progress and bring it to fruition. Remain open to receive and trust in the unfolding of your life experiences. Do not turn away. All of the necessary elements are coming together. Allow this integration to occur so you can manifest your dreams.

TRUST YOURSELF

You are wise. You know how to grow, even without knowing how you know. You are growing. You really are. Don’t doubt it. Even if you don’t see it yet, remember that so much is happening when the seed is still unbroken in the ground. It’s gathering up all its’ might, power and force that it will need to push above the soil and burst up into the light. Trust yourself. You know how to grow. Don’t over think things, it won’t help you. Don’t worry so much you are doing a great job in this game of life. When you trust yourself, you relax and you can heed your own wisdom. You have a big destiny this lifetime and much to experience. Don’t resist any points of instability in your life. This even applies to your most treasured relationships or creative projects. That instability is just a growing pain because more consciousness, more love and more light wants to infiltrate and pervade all parts of your life. Choose to flow and grow.

What a glorious story unfolded in this weeks reading! Be open to receiving and with that you ignite the power of attraction and then you are being asked to trust yourself as you move through this process. Delicious! Wishing you a wondrous week of awareness, play and abundance.

Weekly Reading May 2nd

Jenny Heston · 5:18 pm ·

Happy Wonderful May! Do you have lovely flowers coming into bloom where you are? We have been very blessed with fantabulous warm weather and all the lilacs are in full bloom. So as I sit outside in an early evening there is a gorgeous wafting of their delicious perfume on the breeze as it undulates by. Deliciously Heavenly!

With us being in a new month I did think of using a different deck, but I have to admit, this wonderful Sacred Rebels Oracle deck keeps calling to me, so I am going to keep answering until it says it is time for a change.

I invite you, wherever you are to just slow down for a few moments and take a gentle pause. (Of course if you are driving that could be a tad tricky!) Envision a gorgeous woodland path, can you see it?

You feel pulled to follow this path with its cherry trees and apple trees all in blossom lining the edges of the path and the petals gently floating down to land on the bright green grass below. As you walk along you can you see an opening, a glade where the sunlight is dappled as it filters through the canopy of leaves above and there is an old stone bench. You sit down on the bench and as you do you can feel all your stress, tension and anxiety flowing out of your body and into the solid earth beneath you. You look around and a sense of ease, joy and serenity flows in through the top of your head and all the way down into your toes as you take a deep healing, cleansing breathe and gently close your eyes and smile to yourself at how perfect everything is.

In this moment know you are guided.

Now let’s go see what guidance you received.

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!

WHAT IS ALREADY WITH YOU

You hold in your hand that which you seek. In other words, the pair of spectacles you have been rummaging around the house for, are sitting on top of your head. What you are seeking, perhaps by exploring far and wide, is actually right under your nose. You may not like this idea! Of course there is unlimited creative potential and always something more that can be – yet in this instance, it is important for you to know that you already have what you need and what you want.

Acknowledge that everything necessary for success is with you now. All you need do is accept this and act with what you have available to you. Don’t make the mistake of believing that what you need is behind you, lies with another or is yet to appear. You have all that you need to take the next step in your life and from that, all else will flow. You are more ready than you think you are. You are more prepared than you realise.

All that you need in this moment is just one sweet act of nourishment. That is enough to take you out of backwards nostalgia or regret, and forwards into what is awaiting you now. Be brave. Dig deep within. And enjoy the sweet surrender.

AFTER THE STORM

There’s a thunderstorm about. It is either headed your way or just passing through now. Don’t make a thunderstorm mean more than what it is, though. You don’t have to fear it. You might even feel excitement about it. After all, a thunderstorm is just nature’s way of gathering energy together that needs to be released. With a release of tension, relief and freedom soon follow, often with a fresh perspective and perhaps the gift of a promising hopeful vision for your future.

There is, in life and in the creative process, a need to allow for wild storms. Without this building and releasing of energy, we would suffer from boredom and stagnancy. The storm wisdom offers you the gift of bringing things to a head, and clearing them away, so that the energy can be freed from a pattern that has had its day, and is ready to become something new.

Even amongst the chaos of change and in moments of anxiety, know that you have so much light and trust in your heart that you can see the storm is but a passing process, and nothing that need worry. This storm of sorts, is transformational and supportive of your growth. It is going to clear away cobwebs and free you, open you, to new creative energy and life. So let go, hold only to your inner self and allow everything to be cleansed in the sacred storm. Remember, there are no rainbows without a little rain.

Have a glorious week, remember to Breathe, to Trust and to Celebrate!!

Weekly Reading April 25th

Jenny Heston · 5:23 pm ·

Happy glorious Monday! How are you? How was the Full Moon energy of last week for you? This reading was done outside today whilst the rain was falling, but I had a huge brolly (umbrella) and was purging papers and things that no longer served me. Thus, had a roaring fire at my back. Also very fun and cool thing for me – I received a tiara in the mail from an unknown sender – so I wore it and felt regal, calm and blessed!

I’m so glad you are here and I invite you in this moment to drop into your body. Can you feel yourself here? Can you feel your feet on the ground, can you feel your breath coming in and out – is it at chest level, or deeper? If you are open to it, put your hands palms together and place them at your heart centre with gentle pressure on the sternum. Can you feel your heartbeat under your thumbs?

That is your Prana, your life force energy pulsing in you. Release the day for a few moments and breathe past your hands and feel your belly, ribs and chest expand and as you exhale through an open mouth do it with a sigh. Gently feel your shoulders relax and if your jaw is a tad tight place your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Let’s take another breath in and feel that gorgeous oxygen nourishing and charging all of your cells and then sigh it out. One more time – breathe in deep, deep into your little toe and sigh it out.

For the last few weeks I have been using a little prayer when I work with my cards, and if it feels comfie for you, I invite you to try it. “Allow me to see clearly, the solution or guidance that I need. So I no longer need to worry I am doing the wrong thing.”

The lovely stones that are working with us this week are Aventurine, Amatrine (see the band of Citrine in the Amethyst?) and Red Jasper.

Have you picked? Then let’s go look at the guidance you are meant to receive.

SOFTLY, SOFTLY, THE TENDER TOUCH

The feminine wisdom of gentleness can assist you now. When we are at a point in life where we want to attain greater things, but don’t necessarily have a proportionally greater supply of energy at our disposal, it is time to work smarter rather than harder. This is the way of feminine wisdom.

The feminine way is not about force. Nor is it about driving, striving, pushing or grabbing at what we can in order to create. It is about inviting what we wish for to come into the space we have provided for it – internally and in our lives. This method cultivates more energy, causes less stress and attracts what is desired. It is manifestation by invitation rather than by will or force.

You don’t need to push quite so hard to receive what is naturally coming to you. Your “push” comes from a place of uncertainty over whether or not you will succeed. You need to relax and have more faith in yourself. All things come in time – rightly and according to a great loving wisdom. Rebel against any voice of fear; within you or around you, that tells you otherwise. You have been working very, very hard. You have learned much and accomplished much but it now time to change your approach. Let go of any force in your approach to creation now. Everything serves a purpose and learning the benefits and limitations of the more forceful way of manifestation through effort and willpower was a useful lesson. You are now beginning to create on a far grander scale that is beyond what an individual can manifest through willpower alone.

DEFEND TO THE END, THE WORTHWHILE

RECEIVING

Energy has been going out of you but there is not enough coming back in. It is time to bring something back in for you.

Do you know how much joy the universe gains from being able to give to you? When you delight in what you receive, when you openly embrace a gift and are so happy with it, the universe is fully received by you. In this space there is joyful communion between you and life, energy flows more freely and magic happens. You are a radiant sun in human clothing. An exquisite life experience is your birthright. Enjoy it! Soak it up. All of it. Including the restoration of sacred rest. Forget your worries for a while. Switch off. Do something else. Let it all go and it will all flow.

Wishing you a fantabulous week and know you are exactly where you are meant to be at this moment in time and doing frigging awesome!
