This is a channeled message featuring guidance from the Spirit of the Ocean. When this message reaches you it is divinely timed. Take what resonates and leave the rest. This is intended for the week of October 6th ~ 13th, but whenever it reaches you it is meant for you. Trust and receive.
Hello and welcome, beautiful Souls!
We begin the week with a sense of hope and feeling truly fulfilled on an emotional level. With the Ten of Cups paired with Trust Your Own understanding, it feels like a time of connecting to our emotions to bring us that feeling of connection we are seeking in the outside world. We’re learning how to be deeply connected to our emotions while also rising above to see the “bigger picture”. When we let go of attachments to the physical world, we open up to a new level of experiences that are happening on a much deeper level.
Some of you are feeling very emotional, you may be feeling happy and excited one minute and the next you’re second guessing everything that seems optimistic or hopeful. You may have been taught to worry about what could “go wrong” rather than taking a step back and observing your emotions from a more neutral vantage point. You are learning how to discern your intuitive feelings from your egos irrational feelings. As you develop this relationship with your emotions, you start to feel more joyful and trusting.
I want to touch on “daddy issues” with this post because our relationship with our fathers greatly impacts how we “show up” for our Self emotionally. Some of you had emotionally unavailable or abusive fathers, they may have been in your life physically, but were cold and emotionally distant. Some of you may have had absentee fathers that were in and out of your life. Some of your fathers may have also been emotionally unstable and abusive, happy one day, then withdrawn and on edge the next. Their inconsistent emotional behavior may have created an overactive nervous system that protected you from the instability you felt as a child.
Later in life when we want to experience an intimate relationship where we have someone that can meet our emotional needs, we end up attracting someone who mimics that same relationship we had with our emotionally unavailable father/mother {I'm including mother here too because some of you may have this emotionally unavailable (narcissistic) relationship with your mother that you can also “play out” in your adult intimate relationships and friendships} so that we can HEAL it by learning how to meet our own EMOTIONAL needs.
Some of you see this beautiful, loving family for your Self, but on the “outside” that’s not what you have, so this makes you question your own knowing. You may be running away from the truth, or “gaslighting” your Self because you learned this in childhood from one of your caregivers. You may have been manipulated emotionally in order to receive love, so now you believe that sacrificing your Self is love, that abandoning your own emotional needs is how your “love”, but this is actually how you CONTROL, so that you don’t feel neglected and abandoned.
Some of you are deeply healing your abandonment wounds that were formed in childhood. You are revisiting emotional experiences that have been held in your body for years, decades and for some even lifetimes of repressed emotions are coming to the surface right now. Rather than feeling consumed by them and feeling overwhelmed to the point that you don’t tend to them at all, try to shift your perspective to see them as going in search of buried treasure. We have all these valuable parts of us that we’ve hidden away, buried them deep within our subconscious mind so that we are seen in a certain light by the people we love most.
I want to remind some of you that “family ISN'T everything”, when our “family” is toxic to our emotional well-being then we have to learn how to place boundaries so that we don’t feel guilty for saying No. Or for limiting our time spent with them. When we start placing our emotional Self first, it’s going to feel like we’re “betraying” our “family” for putting our Self above everyone else because we may be so used to OVERGIVING in order to RECEIVE. We may fear that if we stop giving we won't ever receive and so we cut yourSelf off emotionally and feel depleted, tired and used.
If you are feeling emotionally burdened {heartbroken} this week it’s time to take a step back, focus on healing your heart. What can you do for yourSelf so that you feel loved, seen, heard and accepted? Practice devoting to your Self through sacred rituals. Yoga, walking, journaling, meditating. Some of you need to take time to cry, to set aside time and space just so you can release some tears and soothe your overactive nervous system that is making you feel on edge and defensive.
Some of you are wanting to open up to love again after being hurt in the past. Spirit is saying; It is safe for you to love again, you can trust your heart. As you practice letting go and opening up space to receive love you are mending your own heart through your acts of Self Care. As you commit to this path of healing your heart you will attract the love and “happy family” that you are envisioning for your Self.
I am picking up on a message from the Spirit of the Ocean, I am picking up on so many Spirit Animals that are here to guide you through your emotional depths. Allow them to help you traverse your emotions with a sense of comfort and support. You may be drawn to different water animals to assist your heart healing at this time. I am seeing mermaids, dolphins, sea turtles, otters, whales, manatees, jellyfish, starfish, seahorses, sharks, stingrays, catfish, lobsters, crabs, octopus, walrus, penguins, seals, clownfish and all sorts of colorful fish. I am seeing a “school of fish”, it feels like you’re being called to reunite with your emotional Self so that you can return to that sense of family you’re desiring. The Spirit of the Ocean can deeply call us back to our hearts, to return to our depths to retrieve our long lost buried treasure.
{I created a guided mediation for you}
Explore your emotional depths this week. You may feel “safer” closer to the shore, but Spirit is encouraging you to dive deep this week, to step out beyond the emotional confnes you’ve placed upon your Self and allow your Self to feel your emotions to the FULLEST. Let you Self be guided by your emotions. Even if you feel really sad, depressed, lonely, angry, frustrated and doubtful. Feel it ALL because it will help you discover more about who you are and what you can overcome. Our hardest days strengthen us and make us resilient. You can do hard things.
Healing emotionally can be that “hard thing”. When we deny our emotions it can lead to unhealthy habits that we form in order to comfort us. I am picking up on Emotional Eating Disorders. But also all forms of addiction that keep us from being with our emotions. Binge eating is formed in childhood as a coping mechanism for comfort. You could have suffered from anxiety as a young child and often felt unsupported mentally and emotionally which lead to a habit of overeating in order to seek comfort and support. As you take the steps to notice when you want to eat in order to comfort your Self {aka stress eat} then you can extend your Self compassion and redirect your Self to a new, more healthy habit to make you feel comforted and connected. For me it is Yoga. Getting on the mat or sacred space and just BEING with my body prevents me from shame spiraling and “beating myself up” for overeating. Instead I extend my Self forgiveness by apologizing outloud to my body for punishing it and then giving my Self compassion by stretching it and moving gently and slowly with it until it feels relaxed and supported.
I am picking up on Mother Healing that is asking you to be more loving, gentle and SWEET toward your Self. Some of you may have had harsh or critical mothers that taught you how to be hard on your Self, rather than gentle and compassionate. Notice when you want to go for the SWEETS, the SUGAR, the CARBS, because those are all physical cravings that are stemming from a NEED to create PLEASURE and COMFORT for your Self. instead of reaching for the sugary sweets, try doing something sweet for your Self. Be kinder to your Self. Give your Self the same Love you would give to a hurting child in need.
You deserve your own Love. You deserve to have your “happy ending”, but you must learn to Trust your Heart to guide you. Your mind and your limiting beliefs about Love may be keeping you stuck in unhealthy relationships and toxic habits, but you can free your Self from this by EMBODYING Love. Love isn’t just something you “get” from someone else, like your partner or child, it's a VIBRATION that you access through your connection to your Emotions.
Your INTUITION is valuable. Your emotions are your internal GPS that allows for you to navigate your Life with much more confidence and flexibility. When you reconnect with them it’s like reconnecting with SOURCE, you feel GUIDED, SUPPORTED and TRUSTING. You allow your Self to be taken care of because you KNOW your NEEDS and you MEET them with ease.
No more pushing, forcing or manipulating. You are ready to surrender, to let go and FLOW. All that you could ever imagine for your Self already exists within your HEART. Your heart is the PORTAL to the DIVINE, all you have to do is CREATE the space and time to CONNECT. When you start to Love your Self again, unconditionally, that’s when you see your own understanding come to LIFE. You are it. You are the only Love that you will Truly need, the rest is just added bonuses. YOU ARE THE TREASURE, babe! It’s all inside just waiting for you to dig it up and make it shine!I believe in YOU!
