XII THE HANGED MAN & III THE EMPRESS
This month gets off to a somewhat slower start - we feel caught between what we think we need to be doing, what we’d like to be doing, what we think is expected of us, and what we actually need to be doing - this scattered energy is not at all supportive especially as many of us are still in the process of planning our dreams and visions for the remainder of year.
When we are caught in this non-supportive and confusion-inducing thought cycle we feel trapped, guilty and possibly even ashamed to admit that we don’t know what to do or that we might not have the answers that we need at this point in time to be able to make any sort of progress.
Admitting that we don’t know is the key that will open the doorway to the freedom
that we feel eludes us at this present moment - this freedom really is only one
decision away at any time.
This month’s cards remind us that we’re so caught up in our daily life that we forget to enjoy what we already have in our life. We’re way too focused on our to-do lists and not focused enough (or at all) on what brings us peace, joy and happiness let alone setting aside some time to discover what these things could be or mean for us.
Inner Work for February
Use these questions for journalling and/or healing work - pay attention to your body’s reactions to these questions and see if you can trace your reactive thoughts back to where you may be causing dis-ease or stress in your life:
When was the last time you scheduled some personal time into your calendar?
What can you move around (or perhaps remove) from your current schedule to make personal time a regular gift to yourself?
Are there too many ‘should’ tasks on your list that are just taking up energy, space and time that you could use to nurture yourself instead?
Do you feel that you need permission to take some personal time? Whose permission do you need?
Be honest with yourself - what would happen if you were to schedule some personal time for today or this week? Would your life crumble around you?
I trust that these questions will get the juices flowing, helping you to get a better understanding of what’s standing in the way of your hopes, visions, dreams and goals.
You’ve got this,
I am available for readings Monday - Friday every week, so if you’ve discovered a limiting belief that you want to dissolve and heal, or you’ve had an ah-ha moment that you want to receive some guidance about, you can purchase your reading here and it will be emailed to you within 24-48 hours. If you need some assistance in selecting a reading, don’t hesitate to contact me.
For now, I’ll suggest the Clearing the Way Reading to help you get clear on what steps you can start taking today to make progress with your goals.
