It almost, or sometimes seems as though this is a lost art, but this is because so much is lost as much of our society moves further and further away from our natural, whole, and pure energy. To begin each day clearing out the old, the thoughts that weigh us down and the limiting beliefs that we have taken on from others. Too often we just ignore our solar plexus chakra and rely on those 'gut' feelings... you know the ones that I talk about that are the result of trauma or negative experiences. These 'gut' feelings are related to our past and serve to step back and take a different viewpoint. They were never meant to block or stop us, but to rather serve us. The key is to find the hope; to SEE that there is always hope, and to then begin the journey of forgiveness. This allows us to then make clear, conscious choices aligned with our upper chakras; the heart, throat and third eye chakras.
Trust is such a huge part of my journey at this time; which if I am being completely honest... I am ELATED that I am past the many challenges of the major arcana card of Temperance. Holy Hannah... there have been so many lessons addressed and learned. Balancing all aspects of my life has lead me on such a pathway... but not until I flayaled down the rabbit hole and hit the bottom; only to understand that I was basing so much on what is not important, to me, and more important to others.
And then I recognized that I am important also. My voice and my truth matters. It no longer matters who hears or listens, because I now understand that my accountability is to my own peace of mind and truth.
And so, with the assistance of my beautiful new deck of insight cards, my first pick is a message to SHINE MY LIGHT ON MYSELF. Interesting, but the message that I am hearing is that there may have been a level of expectation previously that created a blockage when it came to this practice.
It can be so terrifying to take risks; but I know that when I am aligned and open to the Divine Wisdom; I can lovingly trust in taking risks if I envelope the peace and serenity of Truth, Faith, and Wisdom. And what is another of my favourite messages... ah, yes.... Fear and Faith can never co-exist. Such a major lesson for me to reach this conclusion. Faith is ALL in... whole and complete. Here's the thing; doing things the way that they have always been done produces the same, often mediocre results. My intention for today is to begin the practice of opening my eyes and seeing this fully... to encompass it into my daily living <3 to Shine MY Light... this is the light that is connected to the Divine... so why would I want to deny this?Trust and have Faith. In ME... this can and will lead to seeing a new, more tangable solution to whatever it is that I am seeking.
The next message is a BIG gi-normous reminder to myself. Gratitude. This is so personal after a year of being so sick without even knowing it. But yet, I did know, I just failed in trusting what I was experiencing. This takes me back to the survival mode. When we are in this mode, we often block so much that is important, out. I felt that I had to. That is cognative dissonace due to past experiences; survival. I was fortunate to have friends and students that allowed me to connect, centre, and to cleanse on a regular basis. But then, to be completely honest, for the past year, I had let this go... with the excuse that I was ill. I no longer am, which takes me to the place of being GRATEFUL for my health! Truly I am. Again, I had major support.
I had to return to the place where I respected and trusted the natural rhythms of my own body... feeling, experiencing, never denying, always aware. Taking care of me BEFORE a problem manifests itself within. I have learned this past year to never take the blessing of good health for granted. So each day, this is added into my daily routine.
The final message is one to "Tell the Truth." I have learned to hide so much, to reject what others may not want to hear, see, or feel. For me, this is so much about speaking my truth, on so many levels and in so many ways. Again, this rode on the heals of Faith and Trust in myself, who I was.
I've always said that the first and most important person to love is oneself. Deceipt only serves to amplify confustion, stress, and allows us to keep pushing the blockages down, down, down... until they are quite compacted and solid.
So, for today, my prayers begin within the experience of Gratitude <3 followed by the greatest ideal for my day and to BE honest and truthful. Little by little, step by step, moment by moment, thought by thought, I realize that by speaking and living consciously, my truth brings forth the gift of uncomplicating all that I beleived to be complicated... experiences, relationships, situations.... and the reason was that I was not being completely honest with myself. THAT is my greatest Ideal for today.
Stop and Ask yourself what yours is. What is YOUR greatest ideal for today? and Why? Will this bring you a heart filled with joy? Will it bring you hope? How will this change your todays experiences? If you don't know those answers, then you most likely are not where you want to be.
What makes you truly happy. What gives you hope. What brings you joy. With complete faith and confidence, know that self-love is at the core of all of this.. made brighter through hope, faith, and love <3 Knowing that only love is real.
Have an amazing and wonderful day. Much love, always, Lori-Lynn
