Guidance

These are beautiful cards. The photograph is not very clear but this set of cards is just gorgeous. A woman I met in China recommended them a few years ago along with another set, but I've not really been using them except on the odd occasion.

When I completed the Susannah Conway, "Unravelling 2017 she included  a suggestion that you do a "daily guidance spread" whilst asking the question, "What do I need to know today?"

It's too much for me to do this everyday, but I've done it three times now since the New Year and added some notes in my journal. I found that today it really began to click with me and has really helped to focus me back onto a nurturing path for myself.

Nurturing yourself can be very hard in a busy life and it's easy for the days to start rushing by. My blogging friends will know that I have a constant struggle with this, and I know that so many others do too. We are all just trying to live our lives in the best way possible; for our highest good and for the highest good of others; this can be very difficult to achieve in this world. We are constantly taking in information and trying to be everything we strive to be, to drink up every last drop of life that we can - to have it all and be that good person too. Like a runnaway train.

I am just loving these cards therefore, stopping me in my tracks and making me consider the pauses and the points.

Especially today's two.

Card 1 is "the weather report of you", write's Susannah.

My card 1 for today is "The Resting Tree" (patience, stillness), warning me that I am so busy doing that I am in danger of becoming physically and mentally unwell, and that in many ways I am in danger of not being able to enjoy my life.

Both physically and mentally, in my heart and in my soul, I am in a state of poor health.

This morning before I pulled this card, I was busy, busy planning....my mind racing ahead so fast and putting pressure on myself to "get there." Thinking about the destination instead of the journey. About where I want to be and what I lack, both materially and in my self-development. About time passing too fast and all that there is left to do.

The card helped me to stop and to have gratitude for right now and for all the good in my life. To stop striving, trying too hard to be good enough; and to "allow my story to unfold of it's own accord."

To spend some time in stillness and peace, especially within.
To let go and remember that "you have done all you can for now."

It's time to stop worrying and plotting and planning, just to take a break and relax.
To contemplate my good fortune and to take a break.
To ENJOY where I have arrived.
To look after my physical, mental and spiritual health.

Card 2 is "something to consider that will support you as you go about your day."

My card 2 is so beautiful and just what I needed to support me today.

It is "The Web Weaver" (synchronicity, Divine Intelligence, cause and effect). It reminds me that Music always supports me on days like these and often sends me messages when I need a reminder about who I am.

I enjoy my weekends and music is often a big part of them as I go about my home doing the jobs that need to be done. I have still been "doing" today, but my "doing" has been different to how it would have been if I had not done this reading.

My "doing" has been done, in a "being" sort of way.....because I want to appreciate my home and my "right now", I want to fully enjoy my resting and my leisure.

It was hard to stop my mind from racing into plans and goals, but I remembered the message this card sends, that "my creations are far-reaching and have positive effects on the many. Every action, every thought, every word and deed is woven into the web of creation."

My blogging friends will know that I can find it hard to know my own worth, to love and to nurture myself, and also that I often can feel very alone. The card helps me to know that I am not alone, that "music reverberates through the web and plays in harmony with your own." The card talks about connection, trust and magic.

It helps me today to blog, and to appreciate my home and the life I have had, to know that  "your strand in the web is beautiful and unique, and you don't need to camouflage who you are in order to manipulate results."

I always need reminding to "stand tall in all your imperfections, to see yourself truly, and allow the patterns in your life to be woven into the beauty meant for you and you alone."

I am posting some personal thoughts and feelings today which I don't often do these days for fear of being vulnerable. Card 2 challenged me to "Do something different this time and watch a miracle. This applies to all your questions at the moment for everything is connected." I'm ready for a miracle.

My life already is a miracle and all I need to do is to remember that.
I've been letting fear stop me again.
Time for a change.
