In honor of the upcoming New Moon on Sunday, I decided to do today’s reading with the Moonology Oracle Cards. I get the feeling – and this has actually been coming up lots recently (see yesterday’s reading too – if that calls to you) that you are being asked to surrender to divine timing. Something you are working on – be it spiritually, emotionally or physically – is paying off and will be coming into fruition very soon. I feel like spirit wants me to remind you to take time to breathe out – and this might be something ironically out of your comfort zone.
It’s no surprise with today’s society, that we would feel as though stopping to rest is not a productive thing to do. How bizarre is it that we would feel somehow more stressed – by relaxing. Because that sometimes happens, we feel as though we are not doing anything ‘productive’ and therefore we start to feel guilty.
Well, spirit wants you to know that rest – is absolutely not unproductive – it is necessary for your mind, body and soul.
I was guided to write out a bit from the Oracle Book for the card ‘Take time to breathe out’:
“The intensity of the Full Moon has abated – and what are we left with? That’s what this card is asking you. It suggests that the situation you’re asking about has now peaked and it’s time for you to regroup rather than blindly forging ahead. Have faith that what is happening is for the best. Try to accept the way things are now, and give yourself and others time out to relax. Breathe; we can’t be ‘on’ all the time. If you feel you’ve hit an obstacle or even failed some way, now is the time to reflect on how to do things differently next time. Be honest with yourself if you feel bad about your current situation and remind yourself that life goes through cycles.“
Attune to the Moon: “I am where I am and it’s okay.”
I was also guided to write out a bit from the oracle book for the “Surrender to the Divine” card:
“The Full Moon marks the climax of the lunar cycle, making this card something of a power card. The Full Moon is often the time when answers are given to questions asked during the New Moon, and pulling this card suggests answers will be coming your way before too long.”
It feels to me that this upcoming New Moon will be an auspicious time for you to ask questions. To yourself – to God, Spirit, Source. Meditate & Contemplate, as the card suggests. This card also sits under ‘Step out of your comfort zone” so perhaps you might not be too comfortable with meditating. But meditation can be your own, it does not necessarily entail you sitting still for an extended period of time. Meditation asks you to be present, with yourself – with your thoughts, emotions, intuition. You can meditate through movement with Yoga, Tai Chi or Qigong. You can meditate by taking a walk out in nature. You can meditate through art, music, gardening, taking a nice bath. There are so many ways that we can connect to ourselves and become present. Everyday brings a different energy so choose to move and connect to yourself however you feel drawn to that day, there is no wrong answer.
I opened up my Instant Magic Oracle book:
“Let go of your need to have control. It is only when you surrender that you can release.”
Also – I noticed a little bend in the corner of the next page and I flipped the page to:
“Stop Expecting Something Bad to Happen.”
With the card “Luck is on your side” and those two last messages, spirit is saying – do not worry. Relax, take a moment – take a few moments! Breathe, meditate in your own way. Connect.
Everything will come together in divine timing. Spirit wants you to trust – to have faith. This little parable came to mind: “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20-21).”
So be still, in spirits divine embrace. Rest in the knowing that everything is already working out in your favor, it’s going to come together for you. Surrender.
I was just about to post this reading and I kept thinking about bay leaves. You will notice in the pictures above, there is a bay leaf that I used to not lose the page as I continued to write this message. Bay leaf is a herb of self-awareness and observation. Its energies encourage you to open your mind and be receptive to guidance.
Writing a wish or intention on a bay leaf and burning will help you manifest the intention in reality. It is also a helpful tool to enhance psychic powers during divinatory practices. NOTE: Chemicals in burning Bay Leaf can cause hallucinations in some people. Don’t breath the smoke, and burn them outdoors!
Just something spirit wanted me to note here, especially the writing of your intention on a leaf and burning it. As you burn the leaf, focus on what you want to create, and hold the belief in your heart.
Namaste
