May 21 – Mental Health Card of the Day

Today’s meditation was a ten minute #DailyCalm session in the @Calm app.

Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Page of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive “omega” energy in the area of one’s finances, resources, health, labors, home life, and manifestations. This often translates into themes that have to do with work apprenticeships and learning a new ability or skill.

The Page of Pentacles card has then been combined with a card from the Pass Around the Smile Positive Guidance Cards For Kids, which says, “Love: Name the special people you love.”

Building relationships takes time. Whether it’s friendships or romantic relationships, family bonds, or any other type of relationship between people. It takes time to develop trust. It takes time to figure out if you connect on merely a surface level, or something deeper.

These things take time because it takes us time to lose our preconceived notions of who these people are, and actually explore and discover who they truly are. This type of thing isn’t something that you just know right off the bat, no matter how much you think you can or how much your emotions try to tell you that you do.

The message in today’s Page of Pentacles and affirmation card is a reminder that flash-in-the-pan friendships and romances can be fun, but they can’t stand the test of time if both parties aren’t willing to put in the work to actually learn about and understand the other person involved.

Today’s draw is the Knight of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of an active, projective beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s finances, resources, health, home, labors, and manifestations. This often translates into a slow moving but determinedly forward moving energy, personality, or person that has their eye on the prize regardless of the slow and steady speed they may be moving at.

The card has then been combined with the Curious & Still card from from The Az Oracle, which says, “When you are curious and still you will see so much more of the story, in fact… you may even see your ability to change it, to re-write a more fun and playful script! And if you can’t, for any reason, or don’t feel that you can… then perhaps you can just re-write your *response* to the movie of life, and decide how you can alter *that* to how you want to feel. When your eyes are wide, and your heart is wide too, absolutely anything is possible.”.

Not everything has to be some big production that has to be completed right now. Sometimes the biggest difference we can make resides within the small things that are nudged along at a snail’s pace. Just as a kind word, or a smile, can turn around another person’s day from one of the worst in their lives to something far more able to be handled.

The message in today’s Knight of Pentacles and affirmation card is a reminder that grand gestures are not the only way to make changes in one’s life. Often, it’s the small things that matter most.

May 23 – Mental Health Card of the Day

Today’s meditation was a seven minute #DailyTrip session from the @Calm app.

Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is The Fool card, which is traditionally a representation of innocence, carelessness, carefree enthusiasm, and new beginnings.

The Fool card has then been combined with an affirmation from the LOBILAT Fluffy Advice Oracle, which says, “The best view comes after the hardest climb.”

It’s true that when we work hard for something, the prize tastes sweeter. Our blood, sweat, and tears make a difference in how much we value our accomplishments and successes. That said? There’s also something to be said for enjoying the journey.

Too much of life stuck striving for end goals leaves us feeling as if a good portion of our lives have been wasted, or have flow by. We end up with a deficit of joy and pleasure. A lack of fun and far too much stress take the place of those moments of enjoyment we discard in our ambition.

The message in today’s Fool card and affirmation is a reminder to make sure that no matter how high you aim or how hard you climb, you’re having fun along the way. The view at the top will never be worth it if you don’t enjoy yourself during the journey in getting there.

Today’s draw is the Knight of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of an active beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s emotions, relationships, intuition, and creativity. This often portrays itself in a theme of going after what brings someone joy or following your imagination and creativity into new adventures.

The Knight of Cups has then been combined with the an affirmation from the Lobilat Fluffy Advice Oracle & Affirmation Cards, which says, “No more procrastination!”

My emotions are what spur on my tendencies toward procrastination.  I know this, and to be honest? I’m entirely frustrated by it.

I sometimes muse over how much easier and more organized my life could be if my emotions didn’t dictate my actions and convince me to put off doing things because “I don’t feel like it” or feel overwhelmed by it.  And yet… I continue to procrastinate again and again in a vast array of different areas in my life.

Today’s message is a reminder that sometimes, no matter if you feel like it or not? You have to bite the bullet and just do what needs done.  At these moments, work to push through your emotions and stir up those that will drive you forward instead of hold you back.

The Sun Oracle Reading with the Enchanted Earth Oracle

Where are you radiating joy?

You are the Earth – The answer here is quite literally in the “where” of the question. Where you radiate joy is when you are in nature among the trees. Those times when you visit the forest replenishes this radiance within you that you cannot obtain any other way.

Where could you reflect the light?

Frozen – Reflecting the light in this instance is in opposition to absorbing it to use in your growth and healing. When you overthink things and push too hard for perfection, instead of drawing the light into yourself, you end up reflecting it back, and thus not actually getting the benefits of that light in the first place.

Where could you bring in that shining light?

Synchronicity – When you slow down and take time to allow yourself to feel in sync with the world around you, it allows nurturing light and the healing it has to offer an opportunity to come in and connect with you.

How can you best connect with yourself?

Fidelity – To better connect with yourself, work on building a better relationship with yourself that shows the inner you that you’re willing to put you and your own needs first. Right now, that inner you is accustomed to the harsh jab of punishment and neglect. If you want a stronger connection, you need to show that you’re making efforts to do things differently by connecting with your needs and being kinder to yourself.

What victories can you celebrate?

Fertile – Take the time to appreciate what you have now and how far you have come. Celebrate the little things that built into big things, instead of ignoring them in favor of what comes next. Stop and smell the roses instead of passing them by.

How can you store this positivity?

Quiet Achiever – Internalize this positivity through self examination and getting to know yourself and your needs better. Allow it to sink deep and be personal instead of something you let just roll off or ignore. You don’t need to shout your accomplishments from the rooftops, but you do need to acknowledge them within yourself.

The Deep Prompts 27 and 28

Tarot Reading with the Broken Mirror Tarot 4th Edition and Rune Dreams OracleDoorway (Choice) – What choice lies before me, waiting to be crossed?

Tiwaz, Three of Wands, Thuriaz – You can either let your fears rule you and do nothing, or you can move forward regardless of your fears because what you want is more important than protecting yourself from what you fear might happen. Do you allow your fears to rule you? Or do you move forward in spite of them with your goals, principles and values at the fore?

Dream (Vision) – What vision lies in dream or trance, pointing forward?

Fehu, Nine of Coins, Hagalaz – Opportunity lies within the chaos and destruction. You seek greater stability and abundance in your life. In order to reach these goals, you have to go through the storm to reach the other side, where you can begin again to build something greater than what you had before.
