It’s Your Path, Not Theirs

Today’s meditation was… yes, you guessed it.  Skipped again.  No reason or excuses.  I slept in late and I just didn’t do it when I finally got my ass up.

The New Immortal Tarot and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal CardsToday’s draw is the Lovers card, which is traditionally a representation of love, unions, and making the choices that are right, good, and healthy for you.

Here in this card we see some funky people being their groovy selves, and this fits well with the Thera-Pets card for today, which is all about individuality and uniqueness.

These cards call us to reflect upon our decision making choices. When we are making decisions about our lives, are we making the choices that are right for us? Or are we making harmful decisions simply because of the influences of others.

Whether these influences are peer pressure, familial expectations, or some other push for you to choose a course that’s not right for you personally, today’s cards are an encouragement to identify these influences and ask yourself if there isn’t a better, healthier way.

Questions for September 17th thru 20th

Tarot de Marseille of the New IncarnationHow can I connect with my Higher Self to enhance my intuition?

10 de Baton atop 8 de Baton – Don’t. Doing so at this point will be overwhelming for you. You need to allow your intuition to grow and develop at its own pace instead of pushing it forward.

How can I connect with my Shadow Self to enhance my intuition?

Ace de Baton – This card is saying “hey dumbass! You saw that previous warning, right?” While also indicating that if you really want to ignore the previous card’s advice, in order to connect more strongly with your intuition through shadow work, it’s going to take a great deal of commitment to the cause.

This is fire and determination that you will have to take from somewhere else, as it would be a new separate endeavor from your current goals.

What inner child wound do I need to heal to enhance my intuition?

2 de Baton atop 7 d’Epee – Don’t fool yourself into thinking this is a good plan right now. The soil is not fertile.

The cards are very much against this avenue of self-development at this time, no matter which direction you might try to come at it from.

What challenges do I face in healing?

La Papessa atop Roi d’Epee – It is through your intuition that you are guided in your healing journey. Don’t allow yourself to think that strategy and logic are leading the way.

Tulku Oracle and The New Immortal TarotYouChakra Mandala and Nine of Pentacles – At this time you are working at giving yourself a healthy balance between all of the different aspects of life.

What To Do About ItDeer and Three of Cups – Keep going. Lean on those in your trusted circle, but keep going. It won’t be exhausting forever, and in time you will recover both your energy and your sense of exhilaration.

I’ve finally accepted that I’m probably fighting off a cold or something.  I’ve been really tired lately, more so than normal, and I think that it’s caused by this immune response.  I’ve decided to accept that I need the rest instead of keeping on being hard on myself about it.

Individuality and Authenticity

Today’s meditation was just over thirteen minutes and was the last session in the Foundations II series of the Balance app.  It was focused upon following the breath with the rise and fall of the chest and stomach as the focal point for the breath exercises.  I really needed the meditation today, as I woke up with anxiety and the meditation assisted me in getting it a bit more under control.

Tarot of the Master and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal CardsToday’s draw is the Eight of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of being held back due to turning a blind eye, not seeing what is right in front of you, and the ignorance of facts. It can also represent being held back by a victim mentality that blinds you to everything except your own situation and inner narrative.

One of the things that really stands out to me in this particular Eight of Swords is the fact that each of the swords is different. No two are identical.

Combined with the Thera-Pets card for today, the reminder here in today’s message is about authenticity and how each of us is unique and different.  And, just as you often turn a blind eye to other’s imperfections, accepting people with their failings and flaws, so too will they for you.

Questions for September 6th thru 8th

Language of Flowers Oracle and The New Immortal TarotWhat shadow needs healing so I can better connect with my intuition?
White Hibiscus (Respect) and Queen of Cups

You need to accept emotions as a natural part of life instead of something to be “dealt with”. They are a part of you that deserves the same understanding and respect as every other part of you.

Where am I facing blocks in my intuition?
Mexican Marigold (Vitality) and Nine of Cups

You are spending all of your energy chasing pleasure and contentment instead of on your spiritual development. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is blocking you from any significant intuitive growth spurts for the time being.

How do I address this blockage in my intuition?
Snowdrop (Hope) and Ten of Cups

Keep doing what you are doing and it will all come together in the end. Your focus can’t always be on your spiritual and intuitive development. It’s both natural and healthy to have times when your attention is focused elsewhere.

Philosophical Question
: What are the three major strengths of humanity?

Tarot of the MasterIX di Bastoni – Resilience and determination. Persistence.

Regina di Bastone – The ability to support others dreams even while we pursue our own.

I di Coppa – Empathy.

Take Away:  All three of these qualities combine in a way that helps in demonstrating kind and conscientious strength for ourselves and others.  This allows us all to grow both as individuals and a community.

These strengths teach us that we are strong on our own, and even stronger together, supporting each other to reach our goals and dreams.

I drank just a little bit of caffeine tonight.  Just enough to give me a bit of a boost so that I could spend some time with Gid after getting home from a stressful and exhausting day visiting my aunt and assembling her new furniture.
