Resilience. Value. Yourself. Holding onto the Madness.

The mind can be a mad, mad, place to be. The stories. The creativity. The victories. Love. All placed in the mind; sometimes locked away until a situation arises that calls us back inward and the mind says, "STOP!" and everything shuts down.

The world seems to spin all around, as the dizziness sets in, and all of my inner chakras lose speed... the breathing has slowed down as well... and I am set. The return to a state of peace, calm, sanctity... Divine Creativity & Inspiration. 

This is a space within that knows. Knows every moment of every lifetime and every existence. It's not an area of justification, or rational, but rather compromise, indication, and self-awareness through a raw honesty. 

"Holding on to 'Madness' towards another can drive YOU mad. Work through your anger, breakthrough to tears, and forgive. Them & You. It's time." What an incredibly powerful statement,.. of relief. 

May I be safe. 

May I be Kind, to myself.

May I be Compassionate, to myself, and then to others. 

May I be loving. May I honour my self-worth. 

When our mind goes into madness, it's that area that often seems so illusive... possibly because we cannot see what's happening within the mind, only feel it. And quite often the dictatorship of the conscious mind can have quite the hold. 

But rather than pushing the thoughts away, today, in this moment, I am committing myself to bringing my awareness to the emptiness, or pain, sorrow, chaos, doubts, and lack of... I will bring my awareness to the area, the feeling, and I will hold it in my hands, cradle it in my arms, and nurture it with my soul. I will free myself from its chains. 

That. Will be my Intention Set. 

I will then bring my Breath into the area to calm and surrender... a releasing and a letting go; a stripping away of what seemed so impossible. To breathe golden and blue healing to the area, expelling the shadow mists that hover, and to then bring awareness of a past memory, one that continues to bring me a smile; one that both touches and recognizes my own value and worth. 

A breakthrough to a brand new perspective and alliance. Self Value. Self Love is at the core of today. I choose:

To make a commitment to MYself. To set Goals. To set Intentions. To self-check my progress. I will not
give up on any Hopes. Dreams. Desire. INTENTION SET. Rather, I will get up close and personal and nurture each essence; the truth and acceptance that only they can blossom into beauty. 

As the Two of Cups appearing as the root of the day, it directs me towards, Harmony... as we reflect upon a union. Harmony or a Sacred Union? How to find is to cognitively understand the circumstances with an open and honest perception. Today's meaning of this card, depicts a new awareness for me. Harmony and Balance. 

When we see this, it's not always about romantic love partnerships, but mostly it is, although what is more important to remember, is that when it appears, it reflects compromise; a union of balance; finding that balance within the most Sacred of Commitments, Unions or Re-Union. 

I say this, as with my deck, the woman is feeling as though her hands are tied. She may have recently left a relationship; one that held or back or onto her wholeness. She feels alone and at her feet is a cup. It is as though she can kick it into the emotional chaos that is transpiring and rising up all around her, but this is not her motive. Her motive is in finding her way back to her. Behind her is a Spiritual Being that is offering a cup, a new union... symbolizing that Love is, indeed being offered; one that is Divinely Inspired. Spirit is patient and waits. 

Perhaps that is my lesson of this moment. 

I wrote today, at work, on resilience. It really struck a cord within. I have been asking and asking. What I am most consciously aware of, is that Spirit Delivers in their own time and place. So I'll go with that. In doing so, I am giving gratitude. Ask. Release. Open to Receive. Some lessons are right in front of us, yet so difficult to uncover. 

This moves forward with the Three of Wands, which as the challenge or opportunity, it provides insight into what actual or further challenges may lay ahead. And makes perfect sense in my endeavour of the day; serving as a reminder of the Incredible Balancing Act of the Mind~ Body~ Soul.  A further prompting to stand firmly rooted to the ground, calm, safe, supported, balanced, knowing that whatever the situation or experience... knowing what you want truly desire to stand in full array of. AND I do. It further invokes the courage to maintain confidence and surety that there is progress, movement and progression; even if you cannot see or feel it. It's there.  (I just do not have to define it, nor is it necessary to know every exact detail. Just that Spirit creates with and through us).

The truth behind this balance is that it can only be brought forth from within; an internal change. Finally, or as soon as the eyes are opened fully and freely, the veil is lifted. Intriguingly, from this high vantage point, all can be seem, long, far, and wide, including any further upcoming challenges and opportunities.  There will ALWAYS be challenges, this is a part of life... that is the flowering of resiliency.  Because what is most important, is this moment... right here. right now. 

I feel as though this is the beginning. A new awareness that holds within it the perspective that I have been longing. I am here and ready, awaiting, knowing that there IS much ahead; a blossoming of life and creativity; that is nurtured with the love, support, honour, and perspective achieved as I dive deeply within. 

Movement at this time is inevitable. There will be gain, which comes as we make the choice to open fully.  Financial issues seem to be resolving themselves. Magic. But then again, I say no, this was a collaborative effort, that was honest and trustworthy. This connection was one that began in the hands of Spirit <3
