This is intended for the week of July 28th ~ August 3rd, but whenever it reaches you it is meant for you. Trust and receive.
Hello and welcome to another cosmic week, beautiful Souls!
“Separation is an illusion” is the first message that came through with these cards. Five of Cups is a card of loss, despair, grief, regret, remorse and emotional pain. Right away I see the healing energy of Archangel Raphael. He oversees our Heart Chakra. What I am getting for a lot of you is you’re healing your heart of old pain. Emotional debris is being stirred up to be felt and cleared. There may be a resistance to this as the Imagine card did show up in reverse, which indicates that you may be caught up in illusions and projecting old beliefs and past pain onto the present moment.
Some of you are very imaginative and creative. But you may be judging yourself for your unique abilities. You may have been taught to use your imagination to worry or prepare for the worst case scenario. Spirit is saying; worrying is a waste of your imagination. If you keep envisioning what you don't want or what you fear might go “wrong”, that is what you’re going to create more of. It is a self fulfilling prophecy keeping you in cycles of entrapment, shame and even depression. Instead of awfulizing and worrying about what has been “lost”, or anticipating the unknown of the future, try your best to look at what you have gained and how you can use it to make you stronger.
Out of our deepest pain we can actually reconnect with Source, with our faith and hope. I think that’s what we’re all searching for right now. We may be caught up in our own “darkness” and wounding that we can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. Instead of believing that things can and will get better, we’re focusing too much on what is “ending”. Collectively we are seeing old social and political structures crumble. Old outdated beliefs are being questioned and we are experiencing a massive planetary shift. This is undoubtedly going to create grief as we release the old. Our old Self, our old “ways”, our old perceptions. But where we are headed is expansive and delightful, if we can lift our Spirit, free our minds and align with Love to see from a new perspective.
In the traditional Tarot there is a man dressed in a black cloak in front of a river. He’s only looking at the 3 cups that have spilled, but there are still two cups standing behind him that are full. In this version all the cups have spilled and this nurturing duck looks like she is sad, but I am getting a compassionate energy from “her”. It feels like this is a week of extreme Self Care. A need to focus on hope, but allowing yourself to fully feel all your emotions.
It feels like a week of cleansing. All the blue stood out to me right away. You may feel blue right now. Struggling with depression and melancholy. You may be feeling sad, rejected, lonely and down in the dumps. Spirit is saying; That is more than okay. This is a message to stop denying your strong emotions of sadness and grief. It is actually those emotions that act as a purifier that allows for your heart to expand and call in MORE Love, MORE Light and MORE Healing.
Let the power of Love heal you, let it support you and guide you. Try not to get too caught up in your lower based emotions. Let them rip you apart, let them crack you open, because it’s only then that we can move forward, that we can get “unstuck”. Let your intuition guide you. Let your emotions act as a compass as you navigate your own turbulent waters.
Choose to let go of what is weighing so heavily on your heart and cut yourself some slack. I am hearing that a lot of you are being hard on yourselves for feeling low. Your judging your emotions. You may have been taught to abandon and beat yourself in these times. A lot of us wear a mask daily and pretend to be “okay” and “happy”, all the while we feel broken and sad on the inside.
You don’t have to hide your sorrow. When we practice expressing our lower based emotions whether to ourselves, a therapist, a friend or partner, we start to allow ourselves to receive the support and connection we deeply desire in our hardest and lowest points in Life. We begin to allow ourselves the help and assistance we pray for during our challenging moments. There is no shame in feeling sad. Sad does not equal bad, is what my Guides always say to me when I am grieving and start to beat myself up. But most often I tend to want to avoid and run away from these emotions. I don’t want to BE in them. But Spirit is saying; the only way “out” is through.
I am picking up on a message that has been coming to me a lot recently; There is no shortcut to this experience. We may want to cut corners or take the easy way out, but the whole purpose of Awakening is to s u r r e n d e r to what is. To be present to each and every emotion, whether we “like” it or not. To me the path to Spiritual Ascension is the path of Self Acceptance.
I am picking up on a lot of you who are “sensitives” or Empaths. You may have been taught that your sensitivity is a curse. You may be able to sense the great pains the World is facing at this time. It is not your job to hide away or to be consumed by the “heaviness” of the World. It is your responsibility to take care of yourself and your beautifully valuable gift to FEEL deeply.
The best part about being an empath in my personal opinion is being able to transmute dense emotions like grief into benevolent energies of Love and Light. Or turning anger into passion and drive. If we are not taught how to properly tend to our Spiritual Gifts we will end up feeling burdened by them, we will end up feeling like a victim to them. No, no, no; your gifts are your mother fucking SUPER POWER, use them wisely. Protect them like they are valuable gold.
Placing boundaries is one of the MOST IMPORTANT Self Care practices that Empaths, Healers and Teachers need to implement into their daily lives, for without boundaries we will be drained really quickly and it will be exhausting just to exist on this Earth Plane. Take radical responsibility for your own energy.
When you practice standing in your own unique vibration you begin to emit a vibration that is “seperate” from the Worlds. This makes you an anchor for Divine Energies to flow through you. That way you’re immersed in your own emotional field while protecting yourself energetically from absorbing the energies of the World and people around you. As an Empath your energy of light can unconsciously trigger other’s darkness. It sheds light on the dark crevices of their own Ego and it can make them react strongly just being in your presence. A lot of lower based energies are unconsciously attracted to Empath’s light in order to see themselves mor clearly, but most often it can lead to toxic and unhealthy relationships. As Empaths it is not our job to save the world, to fix, change or heal anyone. Our Mission is to maintain our own Divine Connection to our Soul, our own light and to nurture it with our Conscious Awareness.
I am picking up on the energies of Archangel Metatron. He is the Archangel of our Spiritual Sight and hearing, also known as our clairvoyance and clairaudience. He is here right now protecting so many Empaths and Lightworkers to align and follow and TRUST their inner vision. He is assisting you with opening up to your Divine Assignment. He is reaching you through your imagination and dreams. He can show up as an Indigo Orb or through sensation you feel in your body. He is a little “different” and teaches us how to stand in our Unique Truth. He acts as a messenger from Source directly into your Third Eye. He can guide you when you’re feeling “lost”. He is a great source for learning new ways to perceive the World, to expand your horizons and heal your limiting beliefs. Such as using your valuable imagination to worry instead of d r e a m.
Instead of perceiving the World as an awful and scary place, he teaches us how to open up to the beautiful energies that are surrounding us spiritually. When we begin to switch our focus from the physical world and we begin to place our attention on the Spiritual World, we begin to project that into the physical plane. There is no point in tapping into your Spiritual abilities if you can’t apply them to the physical World in some capacity. When we don’t channel our emotional experiences they can begin to stagnate and create feelings of resistance. We may start to feel stuck in our bodies, which shows up as illness and disease, as tension and stress. Or it can make us feel stuck in our jobs or in relationships. But Spirit saying; you have to allow these emotions to MOVE through you.
As uncomfortable as they will feel, it is the only way to heal them. You have to use them as teachers to guide you. If you feel unhappy, stuck or trapped in a relationship, your body or a job; can you use that to show you where you’re living out of alignment with your Truth? Our bodies, relationships and jobs should make us feel expansive and free, not weighed down and depleted. Use your emotions to see where you need to place boundaries in your relationships, where you need to tend to and nurture your body and how you can make a career change. When you begin to use your emotions to guide you then you feel more empowered and in control of your Life, while also being surrendered to your Soul and what it desires for your Life. When we co-create with what our spirit wants it relieves us of this feeling of “I have to do it all on my own” and feeling helpless to change. Our Spirit acts as a loving teacher and friend, who only wants the best for us.
When we begin to heal emotionally it frees up our energy and allows for us to go with the flow. We’re no longer working against Life, but moving with it. This loosens us up and we begin to lighten up. If we repress our Love, if we repress our higher based emotions of peace and joy, compassion and gratitude we start to feel trapped and bound.
Dare to Dream. Because you are meant to be free, you are meant to thrive. Don’t allow Life to get you down. Pain is only temporary, but only if you allow it to pass by. Kind of like the clouds on the Imagine card, let them float by, don’t hold onto them so tightly, otherwise they may weigh you down. As you practice letting go, you open up to acceptance and peace.
Peace allows for us to be in harmony with the Universal Energies. It allows for us to open up to infinite possibilities. Dream BIG, beloveds! Don’t let fears of rejection, failure or judgement keep you from believing in yourself and your Higher Vision. Your past will probably try to sneak in because it feels you are leaving it behind. You have to grieve your old Self, your Ego Self, your conditioned Self in order to align with your Higher Self.
The path to awakening is far from Love, Light and rainbows, for you cannot witness a rainbow without a storm. There is always hope. Even when you’re feeling hopeless. This is not the end. Even if it seems like it. It is only the beginning is what I am hearing. Spirit wants you to connect with them. Sit in meditation. Be in the stillness. Let your emotions bubble up to the surface to be released.
You may feel more prone to run away from your emotions this week or distract yourself at all cost. You may want to avoid being alone or with your feelings. Don’t punish yourself for this, see it as a coping mechanism and begin to create new ways to cope. You may want to reach to your addiction to help soothe your emotional pain, it is okay, but become Self Aware of your tendency to numb out.
A lot of Empaths and Lightworkers tend to become addicts, no matter what your addiction is; whether it be binge eating, drinking, drugs, shopping, gambling, sex… whatever it is, see it as a way to handle your pain. DO NOT JUDGE yourself, beloveds. Let go of the shame and begin to emotionally regulate.
What exactly does it mean to emotionally regulate you ask? It is the ability to channel your emotions into healing. This could look like so many different things for so many different kinds of people. Investigate what works for you. For me it is yoga, or dancing, or crying, or journaling. Some of you may want to work with a therapist, coach or healer to better understand your coping mechanisms and how to help yourself. This is great! It may feel “scary” to look at this part of yourself, or to ask for help, but it is where the work truly starts to transform your life. Because you’re turning your learned “ bad” habits into self supportive habits.
How can you support yourself more during your hard times and your “big” emotions. Practice showing up for yourself. Carve out time in your day, even if it’s just twenty minutes, for yourSelf. Start doing things that make you feel good, so that when you’re feeling deep pain you can rely on this time to truly nurture yourSelf.
I am picking up on a message from the Spirit of the Birds. This is all kinds of birds, from ducks, to hawks, to eagles, to cardinals, robins, hummingbirds, flamingos, crows, ravens, doves, sparrows and geese. These Spirit Animals can teach us two things; one: how to see from a higher perspective, by “flying” above the current situation and seeing the bigger picture. Too often we can get caught up in what is happening right now that we can’t see the forest through the trees. The Spirit of the Birds helps us soar a little higher, to elevate and transcend so that we can keep strong and focused on where we want to go. They are saying; Don’t let detours get you in a tizzy, let them carry you above and through with their gift of flight. Some of you are working closely with winged animals to remind you of your own wings, of your own ability to fucking fly. The other message the Spirit of the Birds comes to teach us is how to use our Voice. How to use our voice to speak to ourselves with love and kindness. How to use our voice to heal and inspire. How to use our voice to create change. They say: how you speak to yourself in your hardest times can either lift you up or it can drag you down, but ultimately it is your choice. They are vocal creatures. Can you imagine a World without the beautiful melody of the birds singing and chirping? It just wouldn’t be the same and they are telling me; You are the same. The world would not be the same without your specific voice, without your unique soul song. They want you to use your voice to make a difference in the World. They are guiding you and showing up to you in miraculous ways. Be open to their presence and guidance. You may see them appear in your third eye, they may appear in your dreams, or through other signs and synchronicities. They can show up in books, movies, billboards, advertisements, in the most random places they are always there. You must only open up to their guidance. You may also be seeing feathers as messages from them. They are Spirit Animals that can move between the Earth plane and the Spiritual plane. Let them deliver you from “evil”, from all your pain and fears. Let them help liberate your Soul.
Some of you are working with the angelic realm. You’re connecting with your guardian angels and they are helping you feel supported and protected. Their energy is very lighthearted and they will always want the best for you, but also they will never judge you or shame you when you act out of integrity. They will always be there for you, even when you fail or mess up or act out. They will never abandon you. They teach you how to Love yourSelf unconditionally, how to continuously choose yourSelf.
Some of you were taught to be a certain way, to act a certain way, to hide parts of who you are in order to be accepted, either at home by your family or also socially like at school, church or other outings. You may have been taught to put on a mask in order to be accepted. But Spirit is saying; It is safe for you to be seen, it is safe for you to be heard and it is safe for you to be in this body, to love your body and to feel strong in your body.
Some of you suffer with body image. This society and your upbringing may have distorted your immaculate Self Perception. All of us are born with an inherent knowing of who we are as a soul and what we came here to experience. But unfortunately that vision for our Self is stifled and clouded by what the World expects of us or what our parents expect of us and we may begin to deny our Inner Vision in order to fit in and please others.
You may have been taught that your body is sinful in some way. You may have been taught that your sensuality and sexuality are shameful and need to be hidden. This greatly diminishes our Inner Flame and our sacred Connection to Infinite Source. When we connect to this aspect of our Self it actually acts as an internal guidance system. When we feel LIT and passionate and driven, that’s how we know we are aligned with our Inner Vision. When we feel blocked or trapped or stuck in some way it’s because we may want to change or reject what our Inner Vision has in store for us. It may not be what our parents want us to be, it may not look how society has taught you how it is “supposed” to look. Your Inner Vision may be different and “out there” it may go against the grain or make you stand out and feel weird and vulnerable.
Vulnerability is how we create authentic connections. When we can get honest about how we feel and act on it, rather than push it away, we open up the “floodgates” and allow ourselves to be moved by the rhythm of Life. We start singing to a melody that is our own, we march to the beat of our own drum and we allow ourselves to unravel and come undone. We begin to bare our souls to the World, to our families, to our partners and communities and we harmonize, we unify and we rectify.
We can move beyond our past pain and failures. We don’t have to let them define us or keep us from living our best Life. We have to look at them as pieces of our infinite puzzle. All that we’ve been through and experienced is part of our masterpiece. We can’t deny the hard times and expect there to only be good and easy times. We have to take the light with the dark and use our experiences to make our mark, to be a living expression of Divine art.
