Choosing Gratitude

Decks Used: The Souls Journey by James James Van Praagh, The Blind Spot Oracle by Teal Swan, the Enchanted Map by Collette Baron-Reid. The Energy Oracle by Sandra Ann Taylor and the Enchanted Lenormand by Caitlin Matthews

Hello friend. I need to be honest with you here. I’ve been seeing that there is an energy around both of us that wants to have your immediate attention placed on it. This energy may be coming back around due to external situations, or it may have been brewing inside us for a while. I’ll say that for myself, the energy has brought up issues that I haven’t really spent time dealing with properly and I’m not sure where it’s going next. I suppose instead of complaining about it that it’s time for us to sit down and try to deal with the tough emotions that we are likely feeling overwhelmed by. Let's draw some cards and see how we can help ourselves through this time, shall we?

The Cards

cards pulled from various sources

The situation

• Clover: luck, opportunities, risk

• Lily: maturity, harmony, peace

• Fox: cunning, trickery, vigilance

• Broom: sweeping away, cleaning up, discussion

• Garden: outdoors, countryside, social gatherings,

• Ship: travel, transport, abroad

• Letter: communication, correspondence, documents

What am I missing

• Self-harm: you are self-harming and this is not benefitting you or anyone else

• Superiority: you have fallen into the ego trap of superiority. This is clouding your awareness, judgment, and capacity to achieve

• Not seeing the signs: The signs are everywhere and you are not looking for them or that there is a need to see them.

• Isolation: you keep telling yourself that you are alone and must do everything alone. This is not true and you don’t have to do things on your own.

• Running away from emotion: you are currently running away from emotions that are hiding personal truths.

The remedy

• Gratitude: I am thankful for this life and the opportunities it presents

• Courage: I find the inner strength to face fear with confidence

• Abundance: I am a limitless being and I can manifest whatever I desire in this physical reality

• Magic Stream: Everything is connected through the universal flow of consciousness

• Peaks of Joy: your life is filled with happiness so share it with others

• Encouragement: you are receiving a nudge in the right direction

• Strategy: Make a plan and get things in order

• Angel of Strength: personal power and inner strength

• Appreciation: choose gratitude

Okie doke friend… so the situation I’m seeing here is that there is a lot of luck and opportunity coming in around a situation that has been revealing some cunning trickery and the need for vigilance on your part. This perhaps has been around people in social settings or to do with correspondence coming to you. But you are moving on and are able to because you have worked to handle the situation you’re in with maturity and peaceful harmony. But while this is the case on the surface, there are things you’re missing about your situation that will help you down the line.

One thing you might be missing is the fact that your ego and superiority complex is clouding your judgment of the issue at hand. You’ve had painful things happen to you in the past and because of these experiences, you seem to be missing the situation at hand and as a means of protecting yourself against further pain, you seem to be trying to isolate yourself from the tough emotions that are occurring in all of this. The truth of the matter and the truth you're missing is that you’re not alone and you never have been because you are connected to larger energy than just yours. There are important truths to be discovered underneath the tough feelings you’re currently experiencing.

One thing I see being able to help us here is that to start healing this issue, there needs to be a space made for gratitude to come in. When this happens, there will be a discovery of the depths of your courage and the power of your abundance. The truth of the matter is that you are connected to Spirit and through it to everyone else. This is a sign to you that happiness is waiting for you to tap into it. Don’t wait for this either. Another sign that you’re likely not seeing any need to be grateful for when you do see it, is that you are so strong, and can make achievable plans for your future.
