-Energy of the day-

8 of Swords

.

Are you trapped in a cycle of negative self-talk? Do you hold on to limiting beliefs? Our thoughts can restrict our actions, but those self-imposed boundaries exist only in your head. You do have the ability to break free from your bondage. Don't surrender your power.

Release yourself from the prison of self-doubt and fear.

  Today, practice thought mindfulness. Observe your thoughts. Identify which thoughts are restricting you.  Negative self-talk, excuses, pointing fingers, complaining, destructive habits, perfectionism- these are all examples of limiting thoughts. When they arise, examine them. Ask yourself what you're gaining by giving into that mindset. What are you resisting? Instead of just accepting the restrictions these thoughts place on you, challenge them. What assumptions are you making? Is the belief even true? What options have you not explored? Reflect on what your inner monologue reveals. Identify a new, more liberating belief- for example "Instead of succumbing to fear I can chose to be excited about the possibilities."

   Observe. Identify. Examine. Challenge. Change. Break free from your self-imposed prison.

Make your own PERSONAL POWER deck- 30 Day challenge

 Truth be told, I've never been one for Oracle cards, but I am at a point in life where I want to try implementing them into my daily meditation practice. Though there are a ton of beautiful decks out there, none of them really call to me. Instead, I'll make my own! I'm basing my cards off a Tarot deck I'm designing for my own use. That's a very complex project and it will be a long time before those are ready, but it'll be nice to have something along that vein to use for now.

 So what IS the challenge? Well, it's really whatever you want it to be. Look at existing Oracle decks. Which ones do you love? Why do they appeal to you? Brainstorm what your perfect deck is like.  How many cards does it have? What shape is the deck? What colors or images do you imagine? What style is the artwork? Listen to your intuition. I'm choosing 60 words that resonate with me, and assigning each word both a plant and a crystal with properties that enhance the attributes of that word. I'll be illustrating 2 cards a day, for 30 days. I am not very artistically skilled, so I will be drawing my concepts on regular paper and my sweet husband will be creating digital images from that. I'll then print them on heavy cardstock, charge them with the appropriate herbs/crystals, and laminate them.

 The benefits of making your own Oracle, or personal power, cards are numerous. You get a deck that really speaks to you, you can choose illustrations, colors, and symbolism that  sparks something inside of you. The cards are the perfect size and shape for your hand. You get to exercise both your intuition and creativity. I'll actually be sitting down and drawing with my daughter every day, so that's a huge perk for me.

Materials:
-Cardstock or blank index cards
-Waterpaint, crayons, markers, pencils...whatever medium you choose to work with. Even images cut from magazines works! Or make them digitally!
-Intention
-Commitment

 I'll be beginning my challenge on the first of June, since it's just a few days away and has 30 days, and posting my concept cards as they're finished.

How to get the MOST out of your email reading

      Tips for receiving a POWERFUL email reading

You can co-create your experience, and ensure you leave your reading feeling enlightened and empowered. These tips can help you gain the most insight from your email readings.

Find the Right Reader Readers come in kinds. We have different abilities, methods, philosophies, talents, & utilize different tools. Some are psychic, some are mediums, some specialize in romance or career readings. Shop around. Find out what a reader offers, and decide if that aligns with your needs. Read over their site, check out their "about me," terms, and code of ethics. There you'll find out about their experience, payment and refund policies, the legalities, what kinds of questions they will not answer, and other extremely valuable information. 

Ask the Right Question This could be a blog post all it's own (and will be, soon) but we'll go over the basics. Keep in mind that Tarot is about growth,  and real growth requires confronting difficult things, so don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask what you really want to ask. 

Be specific with your question- the clearer your question, the clearer your response. 
You also want to frame your question in a way that's all about you and honors your personal power. These types of questions invite practical, actionable, empowering answers. There's a lot of advice about how to formulate your questions to achieve that, but your reader can usually help you reword your request to get the most out of it. 

If you don't have a specific question that's fine, but it's best to have a topic of interest in mind. What area of your life would you like to know more about? Perhaps you'd like to connect to your spirit. Maybe you just want to how the year ahead will unfold. 

And the most important thing... Relax. Be open to receiving the message the Universe has for you. Embrace the exploration. And enjoy the experience! 

You've found the Tarot pro you want to work with, asked your question, and you're patiently waiting for their response. Now what? Follow these tips for getting the most out of your reading. 

Set the Mood A Tarot reading is special, it's significant, and deserves a mindful approach. Just as I create a quiet, sacred space in which to connect & focus when I consult the cards for you, I HIGHLY recommend you do the same when you receive your reading. Set aside some quiet time to soak up your reading. If the enviroment is noisy & distracting, or you're pressed for time, it'll be much more difficult to appreciate the full message in your reading. Taking a few minutes to yourself to set the mood and connect will help you reap the most benefits from your reading.Take a moment to clear your head and center yourself before diving in. If you desire, you can light a candle or incense, cozy up under your favorite blanket, brew yourself a soothing cup o f tea or comforting cocoa. Whatever it is that puts you in the mood and enhances your personal experience.   

 Linger You're probably anxious and excited for your answer. It's hard to resist opening that email and gobbling up all the information inside. WAAAIIIT! If you rush, you're doing yourself a true disservice! Take it slowly. Give yourself the opportunity to take in the full meaning and let it all sink in. Look at the images of your cards. 

 Reflect This is extremely important. Tarot doesn't tell you what to do, it doesn't give you an absolute outcome. Instead, it provides insight & helps guide you. Now that you've had some time to soak it all in, let's mull it over. 
What jumped out at you? How can you apply the messages and guidance to your life?  What emotions did the reading evoke? What details did you notice in the card images? 
You can grab a notebook to write down your observations and emotions, or print your PDF and add your notes to the margin. Another idea is to meditate on your reading. 

 Revisit One of the benefits of an email reading is that you can reference it whenever you feel the need to.

My Ethics

My mission is to empower my clients. 

  My readings focus on providing guidance, advice, clarity, and inspiration. I strive to help you discover practical ways to imagine and create your best life. My goal is to provide an enlightening, compassionate, and supportive service. Together we will tap into your potential, uncover options and solutions, and unlock your personal power, but you alone are responsible for your behavior and actions.

• Honesty and integrity are of high priority in my readings. I will always tell you truthfully what I see. I will conduct the reading with honesty, openness, and without judgement, read the cards to the best of my ability, interpret them with as much impartial objectivity as I can, and if I cannot interpret the cards clearly I will tell you that.
• I recommend that you wait at least 6 weeks between readings on the same topic, as the information you receive needs time to be absorbed and realized. I want you to utilize your internal guidance system to its full potential, exercise your free will, and not become overly dependant on readings. It is against my ethical and moral code to enable that type of  behavior and I will decline to do any more consultations for you. My goal is to empower, not exploit.
• I am committed to the ongoing study and practice of my craft, furthering my own personal growth and professional development.
• You will never be judged, disrespected, or discriminated against or refused a reading based on religious affiliation, sexual orientation, race or sex. You will always be treated with respect and compassion.
• All issues presented and discussed during a reading are kept strictly confidential. Names, e-mail addresses, and any information discussed during readings will not be shared with a third party, unless otherwise requested by the client, a situation is potentially life-threatening, or required by a court of law
• I reserve the right to refuse a reading or question that I find inappropriate, against my ethics, or not suited for my services. I respect my client's right to terminate a reading at any time.
• I am not a doctor, lawyer, accountant, or mental health provider. I will not give any professional advice related to these fields or any other field in which I am not qualified, and I will make referrals to such professionals should this become necessary during a reading.  
•  I am not a fortune-teller. I believe that Tarot readings reflect likely possible outcomes, but the future is not set in stone. Clients have free will and personal responsibility, and can affect the outcomes of any reading and change the course of their own lives. The future lies in the hands of the individual.
• I am not psychic, telepathic, or a medium. As I am not a medium, I will not attempt to contact the dead, your spirit guides, angels, demons, etc. Instead, I can support you and help you navigate the difficult emotions you're experiencing. 
• I will not attempt to predict lottery numbers, the outcome of sports games, etc
• I will not read for anyone who shows that they are under the influence of any substance which prevents them from being present and coherent during their reading.
• You must be 18 years or older to purchase a reading. I will not read for a pregnancy. By using this service you confirm that you are over 18 and that you understand and agree with these terms.
