Looking into My Mirror

Oh my... Its not at all easy to see someone so different from yourself, with different values and try to understand this is a reflection of you. - my ego wants to jump through the roof. I want to shout out "not everything is about you!!" to this other person, BUT the thing is... this 'other' person is my reflection!

Now that I can't do massage, I am focusing on my other passion, which is Card Reading and my boyfriend is PUSHING ME with hard words of encouragement to start reading for money already.
He is left and I am right... I am spiritual, creative and holistic - I'm thinking about creative ways to be  of service, I feel I need to take my time with this. He is plain logic - if he thinks it can be done then it should have been done long time ago!

I feel I will be guided at the right moment - by no means am I sitting and doing nothing, I am getting as much information as I can about my new venture; reading and sifting through information, but then I am also thinking - can he be right, have I been wasting time? 

So with all this going down, I have to now think "what is my boyfriend telling me that I need to tell myself here?"

I can begin to focus on that which is wanting and that which is not.
I am wanting to be full throttle ahead and driven by my ambition, I want it to be done in perfect and divine time.
There is no doubt in my mind that it will not be done! my online business will happen. My boyfriends hard words of encouragement is helping me send rockets of desire into my vortex - I just have to get into vibrational alignment.... and this is the thing that has not happened yet.

To understand the situation a little better. I am going to shuffle my cards and search for the 2 Of Air, the card to the right will be me and the left my boyfriend/reflection.

                                                      left                                                                         right

On the Left, the Hermit: This guy is telling me to connect to my deeper feelings about my new venture, look within and get on with it - my boyfriends exact words. My inner knowing is that it will happen. By meditating, I can get myself into vibrational alignment with my desire. (my boyfriends strong feelings (hard encouragement) is the Hermit's lamp - fire can burn you but it is also be the source of light).

On the Right: 7 of Fire: Mars in Leo.

I posses the force and drive to put things into action. I can be impulsive and hot blooded, me reacting to my inner knowing will not serve me well. It is safe for me to stay true to my beliefs, I will still do all the research and  you-tubing I can, but it is time for me now to take action.  

In conclusion:

There was no fight with my 'reflection' - through my boyfriend came my understanding that I already know what to do - take action, get into vibrational alignment and be true to myself in the process. This is my moment.

(the 2 of Air is also means "Lord of Peace Restored" from Tarot and Astrology - The Moon graces Libra with a gift of reflection, acceptance and understanding)

VI. The rewards of God continue.......

Be Grateful to each other, Appreciate your brothers - the reward is so much far greater.

Us people; human beings; people of the Earth; manifestations of Love; are all One and from the One Universal Divine Energy.
We are all reflections of one another. What I see in you, I see in myself... The pain we see in another is the pain we feel and hold within ourselves.

I believe this is the beauty of God, that there is an ever a presence of guidance to a better version of ourselves through our 'brothers' and we should be grateful and appreciate every person that comes into our lives.
A wise teacher knows he or she  becomes a student before his/her students. In the presence of every moment we are ever discovering a new dynamic about ourselves - its just a matter of being open to this dynamic and be willing to the Presence.

Anchor Card

 2 of Earth

Capricorn in Jupiter = Business; Jupiter's power here in this strong Earth sign is expressed through ambition. The energy here is, that you will achieve success but it will be achieved gradually and through discipline. You are able to conserve your energy but also be able to share your energy lavishly when you have to.
#2 represents Strong Spiritual feelings. Duality of Man, The need to part of a couple and also the number of intuition.

So when we meet with a brother/sister, we have to consider the energy we see in this person, and consider what energy it is we are holding within ourselves that this person is expressing to us.
The fairy stands alone, yet is met with the energy of duality. We are alone yet we have to consider the energy we are sharing with another.

9 of Water
You in your own glory here. #9 represents our ideals, ambition and responsibility and this is determined by what you think and how you create pertaining to your emotions.

Jupiter in Pisces endows you with the power to appeal to the emotions of others.

2 of Air = Moon in Libra: heightened awareness of your environment and those around you. Your reaction to anything unpleasant is to deny it or if its not possible to do so, you try to see the silver lining in the situation. The energy here is an open mind that tries to evaluate the world rationally. The energy of the #2 and the Moon allows you to understand another's point of view.

So lets say, these 2 unicorns are looking at each other, there is rationality from the air Element, and a fair sense of understanding from the Moon energy.  On the one hand, they are jousting with their horns, trying to hold onto their core beliefs and deny the other's point of view - or - they are after all, understanding one another and making a real connection - understanding themselves through one other - this is what we need to aim for, this connection. This brotherhood brings us closer to our Higher Selves.

6 of Earth = Taurus in Moon = Security. The little fairy is very happy here balancing the golden energy that is his gained from understanding himself through others - there is more reward in engaging with the Sonship through your Brothers - "learn first from them and you will be ready to hear God"

#6 represents creativity or destruction - if you can choose to understand yourself through your brothers or sisters, you gain so much more knowledge, if however, you decide to deny your brothers/sisters - you may have the riches you desire but knowledge will elude you and you will be alone (9 of Water)

VI. The rewards of God

In Paragraph 2, its written that we are indebted to our brothers, and that acting egoistically towards each other we are throwing away the 'graciousness of our indebtedness and the holy perception it would produce' - what does this mean?

 I pulled the Page Of Earth and this is what I understood - we are 'pages' (youths) in the Kingship of the Divine,
we are still learning and in service of the the Divine.
"how can I serve?" How can I serve you God? How can I serve you in your Kingship of Divine?
(I learned from Wayne Dryer that we should always ask "how can I serve?")
So the indebtedness = to be in service of my brother... to act from a place of unconditional love towards my brothers, this service will undoubtedly allow knowledge to flow through us.

The next card I pulled was the Empress - she is serving the animal kingdom here - in service to mother nature, and what is so beautiful to me, is that she is in honour of her duty, she is holding a golden staff, the animals are surrounding her, abundance surrounds her - the waterfall behind her is knowledge flowing.

CIM: "as you learn how much you are indebted to the whole Sonship, you come as close to knowledge as perception can. The gap is then so small that knowledge can easily flow across it and obliterate it forever."

With this read and said, I pulled the Emperor - amazing - 

being 'in service' to our brothers means we rise above our ego and we are able to be blessed, knowledge flows through us and we become leaders of our domain, we gain structure and discipline; graciousness; through this knowledge that flows through us when we open ourselves to be 'In Service' of our brothers.

The Knight of Air

Reading for Bonnie

For matters concerning your work, I pulled the Knight of Air. He is intellegent, decisive, idealistic and tireless. He is fast and swift. His energy coincides with the current energy: fast, fast, fast....

I feel based on our conversation that you unsure about your work, you are your own boss, you love what you do, but you feel the matter is dire, you not so sure about yourself anymore. You are questioning your self. Well good news is that this is how you are supposed to feel..
Mercury, the planet of communication, rules the knight of Air and is currently in the sign of scorpio. Mercury who is a swift mover is feeling constricted in scorpio and I don't think he knows whats going on right now because he cannot move or communicate under the serious energy of Scorpio - does this sound familiar to you? 😉

The New moon in Scorpio is opposite to Uranus in Taurus - this energy stirring up some emotions within you, making you question your values and ingrained habit patterns - are you questioning your life style? Other than the fact that you are already in this "stuck" energy, you need to quiet your mind. Stop communication, slow down and meditate, meditate.

You are very gifted in what you do, I see the knight here holding on to the reins of the unicorn, but in no way pulling on them or making forceful moves, yet they are in unison... be calm dear one, meditation is very important for you right now. And Focus: focus on your goal with out distractions; distractions being doubt, worry and basically any fear-based-energy can be distractions - clean these negative energies (I love you, I'm sorry, Please forgive me and Thank you)

Take note of your energy, notice what is causing you loss of energy or that which makes you feel awesome. Become aware, tune in, listen, relax and just be. Just for now, sit on the Unicorn and let him lead the way as he represents wisdom and is in the pursuit of your dreams.
Unicorns bring the energy of transmutation (passing through boundaries), spiritual sight (see past illusions, until the truth is revelled) and manifestation (turning your imaginations into reality)

Believe in Yourself

The Star: 

She speaks about hopes, desires, dreams and visions. She inspires us to "wish upon a star". She foretells improvement, healing and changes for the better.

She is ruled by Aquarius ♒ the water-bearer: dispensing a gift that flows freely and equally to all, representing creation and the giving of life.

Body Part ruled by ♒: Circulatory system, 

ankles  

shins

The Circulatory System 

It is a network consisting of blood, blood vessels and the heart. It supplies the tissues in the body with oxygen and other nutrients, transports hormones and removes unnecessary waste products.

•Spiritually it represents the ability to feel and express the emotions in positive ways.

•Experiencing circulatory problems means you suppress feeling positive as you have made negative associations with joy and positive emotions. 

•Your life feels unsupported and you feel challenged when confronted with responsibilities. 

•People in your life project what kind of support you need, causing you to feel controlled and frustrated. 

•You feel safest when isolated from others. its challenging for you to express your needs.

The Ankles:

They represent the ability to receive pleasure.

Our ankles and feet are used to physically and emotionally move forward. Feeling any sort of restraint on the ankles is an indication of fear of consequences related to change. 

The Star card, is encouraging you to step forward and allow for change. 

Your abilities to make decisions may have been suppressed in your past by people who you looked up to, who didn't support your decisions, leaving you to doubt your abilities to be successful and make changes easily.

We are Spirits having a Human Experience; look up to the stars and know you are supported and guided. Allow yourself the opportunity to be guided by your Inner Spirit. It is easier said than done, but the step forward can be liberating and refreshing 😇

You deserve to rejoice in life and accept the pleasures life has to offer.

Shins

The front lower leg between knee and ankle.

They represent the standards we have set for our lives.

Experiencing shin-splints or discomfort in this area means you don't feel worthy of your ideal standards. You feel weak and you don't want others to see your weaknesses. 

Failure is not an option to you, and thus have placed immense pressure on yourself to achieve your goals, and denying your personal needs. 

An aspect of your personality feels like a fraud and you fear of being caught out and rejected.

Ignore those voices of doubt and down-talk, you are perfect exactly where you are standing right now. You are living up to your highest standards, do so with love and joy 💚

Massage Tip:

Concentrate this week on your legs, especially ankles and shins. Massage in general improves the body's Circulatory System, deep Effleurage helps to move blood around, it speeds it up where circulation is slow, and slows it down where it is going too fast.

Massaging the ankles and shins stimulates and balances the Stomach, Spleen, Bladder and Kidney Meridians, it helps to bring balance where there are imbalances.  A meditative state where the mind is still, can accelerate the body to heal itself. Continual thoughts of worry and anxiety is taxing on the body. Live from your Spirit, detach from limiting believes and wish upon a star ⭐

The Body Meridians

Setting Boundaries with the Small Intestine

The function of the Small Intestine is to receive and transform food by separating the pure from the impure, it also does so on a metaphysical level with our thoughts and beliefs.

In Chinese medicine the S.I is Yang to the Heart's Yin

↪Matters of the Heart ♡ influences the S.I, it is the Heart's ♡ protector and it's energy enables us to understand experiences and determine healthy boundaries. 

The Element of the Small Intestine is Fire 🜂

Fire 🜂 = Heat. Gives Life, Warmth, Empathetic, Joyful and Happy 😊🔥

(🏃 Fire People are confident, adventurous, passionate)

But Fire in Stress can turn Joy and Happiness into Panic and Hysteria.

 The S.I meridian starts at the small finger, moves up the arm, across the shoulder, over the scapula and rises over the side of the neck - an area mostly massaged on, as most people experience discomfort in this area due to stress.

Emotionally a stiff neck represents uneasiness within oneself. Refusing to see other sides of a question, stubbornness and inflexibility. 

Point specific to the Small Intestine, tension in this area could result from Communication Blocks with Influential People and Feeling Misunderstood, unable to understand one's personally boundaries (when is it safe to say No or Yes)

Emotions of tension, stress, worry, fear and uncertainty causes the S.I to become imbalanced, and a stress S.I causes one to experience more stress, tension and worry.

Emotional influence of the S.I

• feelings of being pulled in many directions

• unable to make clear decisions

• feeling restless, anxious and moody

• abdominal pain

• bloating

• gas

• weakness / fatigue

• sluggish gut

☺ Massage 🙌

☺Meditation and Deep Breathing: 

Meditation helps to calm the mind, 5 - 10 min of being in a state of not thinking can actually help you concentrate and think more clearly about matters, Calm Deep Breathing helps for the obvious reason of bringing more oxygen to the body aiding all cells to nourish and heal themselves. The natural movement of breathing moves the Diaphragm, influencing the movement of the Digestive system. 

☺️ Affirmations: 💬

Affirmations are small prayers that we repeat to influence our Subconscious Mind - everything we see and perceive impresses the Subconscious, when we consciously react to a stress factor, the idea of that fear becomes impressed in our Subconscious, so when we are faced with a stressed factor again and again, the subconscious triggers the memory from the past experience and we 'relive' that fear emotion, regardless of the severity of the stress factor.

I Easily Assimilate And Absorb All That I Need To Know And Release The Past With Joy  -  Louise Hay 

I love Massage

Going for a massage is a way we can take charge of caring for ourselves; take responsibility for our Well-Being.

Our bodies are way more complex than we think. We are Physical, Electric, Energetic, Elemental and way more far beyond.

There are so many "new" discoveries being made about our body's functioning system, which is actually relating back to 'ancient' healing techniques - hereby I say, " history is repeating itself" 😉

 We are more than our physical bodies, we are so powerful and wonderfully constructed, its miraculous.

When we go for a massage, our intention is to be healed - to be relieved from an aching back, release tension headache or release muscular tension.
What most don't realize; massage unintentionally does more than that - it moves energy, its influences our emotions, it activates and hinders vital hormones, improves our metabolism; it moves Cerebral Spinal Fluid, which improves our bodily functions and supports our immune system. Massage improves the Lymphatic System which helps to reduce inflammation (which is caused by stress), calming the nervous system and thus supports optimal brain function, this in turn influences our auras and chakra energy centers.

Energy Healing is inevitably with a Massage. It's benefits go way beyond our mere understanding of muscular relaxation and improved circulation. So I encourage you, the next time you go for a massage, take a deep breath and know that you are on the path of Well-Being.
