The Eight of Cups ~ Don't Give Into Despair!

Tarot Tuesday! The card for the week is the Eight of Cups, representing: Stagnation, emotional blockage, regret and release. The Eight of Cups is a dark night of the soul as you experience a weariness, a feeling of emotional and spiritual exhaustion. Life has become a burden, leading to stagnation, even hopelessness. This card warns of getting caught up in bitterness or disappointments about “what should have been.” Your regrets can become an endless compulsion. 

 Let go of the past, especially old expectations that are no longer valid. The time has come to recognize unfulfilling relationships that are draining you. It takes strength to no longer participate in soul depleting situations. Use the wisdom of your past experiences, set new boundaries and move forward. 

 Is this card perfect for the current Scorpio Mercury Retrograde or what?!

 Wishing you a week of renewal and release!

Let Intuition Be Your Guide

For this month’s Vibes, I thought it would be timely to talk about intuition. Intuition is a powerful tool readily available to each of us, providing guidance and insight in these changing times. I believe that the more in-touch you are with your intuition, the more you will be able to knowingly negotiate life and the world, with a greater sense of alignment and grace. 

Everyone is intuitive! In addition to our five physical senses, we also have a sixth sense, intuition. Intuition is a natural, divinely-given gift that we are all born with. The way we experience intuition is through an innate sense of knowing. You “just” know something, sometimes without proof or reason. That’s why it can hard to trust the information or prompting. Intuition is not linear, it comes from a deeper or higher place within yourself. Like a muscle, the more you engage it, the stronger your sense of knowing will become. 

The mystics refer to intuition as “deep listening”. By taking time to quiet your mind and go within, to listen inwardly, the more your intuition will speak to you! If you’re having trouble getting there, I suggest taking a few deep breaths, as a way of grounding into your body. Because intuition is a natural sense, experienced in the body, being physically present allows more alignment with your intuition. 

Here’s some easy tips for enhancing your intuition:

*Trust your intuitive prompting, even if it doesn’t make complete “sense” in the moment. You may be receiving insight that is not currently perceptible to your linear, intellectual mind. 

*Your first hit or prompting is often the most real. Over-thinking or imaging what it may mean or where it will go, has little to do with the actual insight. True intuition has no drama or details, it just feels right. 

*Keep a journal and write down your intuitive experiences and insights. This is a mindful approach to engaging and further developing your intuition. I promise you will be amazed at your discoveries!

The Six of Coins ~ The More You Give, The More You Receive!

Tarot Tuesday! The card for the week is the Six of Coins, representing: Generosity, harmony, goodwill and gratitude. The Six of Coins is a gift; one of your own making, although it may seem like a miracle bestowed! This card indicates you are experiencing greater personal and financial success. It is a sign to stay true to your efforts, as you are on track to realizing your goals. 

 As you embrace your new-found abundance, you may find yourself compelled to share it with others. To “pay it forward” in some way. This card brings out your benevolent nature, inspiring you to become, whenever possible, a generous patron within your community. It is a reminder of the great power of kindness. The more that you give, the more you receive. Embrace the harmony present with a grateful heart. 

 Wishing you a prosperous week!
