Oracle Cards Guide Inward

An oracle was once restricted to a priest or priestess . They were our medium for gathering advice from god. Nowadays, we have stretched this human limitation to include oracle cards. Rather then traveling to the homes, hermitages or mountain tops in search of spiritual guidance, you can buy illustrated packs to answer your questions. A path made easy with the flip of a card.

Those who have been traveling the spiritual path may find cause to argue here. God is within us. All the guidance we need can be found in that still, quiet, inner voice. Meditation, living in the now, staying aware, all of these already show us the way to a happier life. This is all true. But the issue is that these things are not always easy to follow. We are often blind to our own third eye. The constant chatter of our unrelenting ego, that inner dialogue that is often on repeat, can be hard to ignore.

And so, bring in the hero disguised as a deck of oracle cards. This is not contradictory to knowing that goddess wisdom is available to us all, directly. The thing is, these cards are simply a way for us to cut through the clutter of our mind's chatter and hear ourselves out. Goddess speaks constantly, cards being one of them.

Some cards have the ability to show where you were, are now, and will be in the future. In presenting the past, we can glean information about what we have been doing. This morning, I drew a card that said I had opened a treasure chest. In reflecting on the past year, I realized the many treasures that I had accumulated in 2020. Mainly, that I had received much of what I had asked for at the beginning of the year. I took the opportunity to be thankful for my manifestations. 

When listening to the cards regarding the present, it can be helpful to ask a question before choosing the card. This serves as a guide that can direct answers to exactly what you want to know. It lessens ambiguity. Or your question can be simply, 'what will bring me the greatest joy?'.

Any card that reveals your future is not set in stone. There is no inescapable fate. What it can expose to view is the path you're on now. This is extremely helpful because you may or may not want the revelation. If shown something you don't want, you can change your behavior to manifest what you do want. You aren't strapped like luggage in a car heading in a direction you don't want to be in. Your point of destination can be recalibrated based on your changing input. Meditate, focus on what you do want, use the Law Of Attraction, choose a different ending. This is the delight of prophecy. Learning your destination allows you to decide on an alternate trajectory. 

Use after a meditation for maximum benefit. Be open to answers that follow throughout the day and beyond. Best to be in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere.  I always shuffle the deck three times to send my energy into the cards. Allow time to reflect on what your cards may reveal. Thank the cards for the knowledge that you have received when you're done. 

Here are the oracle cards that I use:

Heavenly Dictionary

There needs to be a dictionary of spiritual words. Think of all the versions of god there are--one for every religion. The people who instantly 'get you', are those in your inner circle. But those outside of your daily routine probably don't hold the same understandings of basic spiritual words.

Many see god as outside of themselves, a man sitting on a cloud waiting to judge, punish, and fight with the devil for our souls. 

I see god as an unconditionally loving force that does not judge or punish.  God is love, it says repeatedly in the bible. So when someone says they do not believe in god, to me that translates as not believing in love. Further, the religion I grew-up in views the devil as non-existent. Sure, there is devilish behavior, but no actual devil. 

So maybe it wouldn't be a dictionary in the usual definition, but a remaking of otherworldly terms. It would involve more categories. When you are going in to a discussion on god, you could look up the word and read through the different versions. With a quick perusing, you could figure out which god meaning you believe in. 

Hyphens could work. Like: Cloud-god, Love-god, devil-behavior, devil-reality. With these remakings, we could know right off what other people are talking about. So much simpler. 

Dictionaries are non-judgmental. This fantastic new book could be used without judging the other person for their beliefs (hopefully!). We would simply know what they were talking about without all the explanations.

Wow, in writing my great idea, I'm thinking that someone may make a grab at it and write this dictionary. I only ask for ten percent of the profits and credit for the idea. That's fair. 

Here are some more words for the dictionary: 

Heaven is within you: Within-heaven. Heaven is behind pearly gates, something to strive for while on earth: Gated-heaven

'Spare the rod and spoil the child' as a reasoning to spank children: Spank-rod. Rod as a guide to lead children, as used by a shepherd: Guide-rod. 

I've only listed words from Christianity. In wanting to not screw up other religions and their views, I'll stick with what I'm more familiar with. To make a complete spiritual dictionary, we would need to consult all of the major world religious leaders and many of the different followers.

This dictionary would help immensely. So often when I hear people speak of spiritual matters I feel like I have to rearrange their words in my head so I can relate to what they are talking about. I'm guessing that others feel the same. With a non-judgmental book like this, perhaps we could talk about religion without fighting. Sounds heavenly!

Chaos Versus Clarity

 

In 2016, when it was Trump versus Bernie or Hillary, we had the chance to choose between fear and ignorance, and love. Popular vote gave over to love; electoral college to fear and ignorance. You know the rest. 

The world is increasing in vibration. We are heading toward more people being aware of their

• connection to god
• effects on one another
• responsibility to the care of earth
• respect for sentient beings

This progression is coming along whether you choose to resist the change or flow with it. The river does not stop when you dip your toes in. 

As the destination is the same, the way to get there varies: chaos or clarity. Chaos involves suffering, pain, hardship, and violence. Clarity is about peace, grace, health, and abundance. 

These choices come to individuals, families, communities, nations and the world. Starting from the ground up, positive or negative thinking influences your life and collectively can impact everything. We've all heard the argument and benefits of positive thinking. You have likely seen its results in your life. 

Don't think that all is lost when you are dipped into this time of a chaotic national government. We are being shown what needs to be changed by the revelations that all is not well in the U.S., as many colored people have known for generations. The destructive forces of climate changes that we are experiencing have opened many eyes as to the economic and environmental injuries that need to be addressed right now. Covid-19 has allowed us to see that quick world changes are possible. And the national governmental corruption has brought out many people to run for governing positions who are invested in helping and representing the people of the United States. 

As earthly inhabitants of this time period, we are all on this rocket toward a more loving world. Take the choice to make it one that flows with the spirit. Keep your vision on the long-term of what beauty awaits us, even if the world seems a scary place right now. One way or another, your heart can stay in love. Love always prevails, always.

Holotropic Breathing And Chocolate

 Last week, my thoughtful son gifted me with a Zoom session of Holotropic Breathing. Before describing my experience, I want to firmly state that you need to do two things: 

1. Research who should not be doing this, as in what medical symptoms you may be experiencing.

2. Do this with a guide, or sitter. This must be with a certified Holotropic Breathing guide. 

These warnings are not meant to scare you away but to ensure that you are safe during the practice. 

As much I would have preferred a live meeting, in the world of Covid-19 sheltering, the session was on Zoom. You may want to wait until you can do this with a person in the room, if you can remember the grand old days of being in a room, unmasked, with someone other than housemates. In preparation, the guide, Daniella, had told me to have headphones or ear buds with a mic, and a way to lay comfortably on the floor with her able to see me. 

Daniella was enthusiastic, comforting, and had me feeling safe in her guiding gaze; a needful state to be in for an unknown experience. Especially after hearing that I would be focusing on a particular way of breathing for forty minutes, I felt a strong preference for a voice that struck me as trusting. 

Once I was set up and ready to go, she had me set a vision of what I wanted to achieve during the session. Was it a healthy body, more romance, abundance, the ability to eat chocolate covered caramels without gaining weight? I went with a mixture of all of these, packaged in a layer of love. 

It's an efficient use of deep inner work to include a vision. If you are going to hit those inside dimensions, might as well bring along a goal to stick with it. Anytime you are letting go of darkness, have a bright light to replace it with. 

Next came instructions on taking a belly then chest breath. Let out the air and do it again. Her words kept a steady pace backed up by an agreeable beat and relaxing background music. Interjected in our time were uplifting, spiritual phrases. 

As we are unique expressions of goddess, what you get out of this will be set to you. In the interest of not influencing what you can expect, I won't include what came out of my session. Some people may not get much out of it the first time. If you are open, I encourage you to try it a few times if you are not feeling anything at a first go of it. 

I will say this. What I experienced caused much introspection. Things that I did not know I was harboring were brought forth. I felt a spiritual cleansing, and a greater acceptance of love.

As with much deep, inner work, have a plan of following up the session with some way to ground yourself. Three hugs from different people. A bite of chocolate. Rinse your hands in cold water. Don't jump up and rush back into your day. Stay lying down, letting your body and mind come back to the physical, present world. Wiggle those toes and fingers.

It's a pleasure to discover such a simple thing as breathing can bring about wonderful life changes.
