Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was one of the #DailyTrip sessions from the Calm app.

Sometimes, when we meditate, it’s difficult not to try too hard.  We push for serene and a blank mind, we try to push out distractions instead of accepting their presence, etc.  Other times, we may become too lax and allow our minds to become too distracted and wander too far.

The session for today is a reminder that there is a middle ground that lies between trying too hard to focus and being too lax on your focus, and how it is in that middle ground where the benefits of meditation lie, and where we can find them and thrive from those benefits.

Today’s draw is the Knight of Wands combined with the affirmation “I am connected to the spirits of those who came before me, and their wisdom guides me.”

Take an impulsive leap forward in pursuing your passion for mediumship and connecting with ancestors.

Dive in and do a little exploring, seek out new paths and adventures on this path and look for new ways to connect.  As the veil becomes more and more thin this month, now is the time for developing and strengthening these connections.

Whispers from my Ancestors to guide me.

Page of Wands atop Previous Cards – To keep moving you need to do more than “stay loose”, but be open to making changes to your process in order to keep things moving. Don’t get stuck in old practices and let them them hold you back. Embrace new methods instead.

How to balance the shadow with my light.

King of Cups atop The Empress – Gideon is always going to be the answer to creating a nurturing place for yourself, as well as alleviating subdrop. Take care to stay connected to him and lean into him for help with your emotional stability needs.
