Higher, Middle, Lower

Decks used are the Movie Tarot by Diana McMahon Collis, the Herbal tarot by Michael Tierra, Animal Power Oracle by Alyson Charles and the Native Spirit Oracle by Denise Linn

Okay friend, so what I’ve chosen to do with this reading is to look at different parts of your energy body. I got this idea from the guidebook to the Steampunk tarot by Aly Fell and Barbara more and the way I formatted this is to look at the higher, middle and lower energies around you. I’ve also decided to clarify the reading in case there were any lingering questions that needed to be answered. Let me know what you think.

Alright so as mentioned in the introduction, I am going to be reading for various energies around you and to start with your higher energy, what I’m sensing is that there is a desire for freedom. this may be manifesting in a desire for emotional and creative expression that doesn’t feel forced or held back in any way. What you need to know is that right now, there perhaps has been some drama and conflict around you that has caused you to feel disillusioned and in pain over it. It’s time to let it go so you can reach the freedom you desire and deserve.

For your middle self energy, what I’m sensing here is that you’re undergoing a transformation of sorts and this energy is going to bring in beautiful creative and emotional growth. Linking your higher and middle energies, I sense that the letting go you are being asked to do from your higher energy is going to allow for the clarity of your path to come through and you’ll know how to navigate the transformation you’re going through right now. The thing to note here is that this journey isn’t going to be easy, but it is the challenging moments that bring you the most wisdom. Please know that rest is always allowed, and taking care of the totality of you is never a bad thing.

For your lower energies, what I’m seeing here is that you’re experiencing a wake up call with all of the things going on around you. There are things you need to move on from, as you may well have sensed, but the question of how is coming up for you; that’s a common and important question to ask with issues like this. The way you do this work is going to be nuanced and completely individual but generally assessing where you are and where you’ve come from and working to understand the depths and intensity of your feelings is going to help you gameplan the steps you take in the coming days.

Why are we seeing the things we’re seeing in this reading? Most importantly, we’re addressing conflict and how disillusioned we feel over the fact that these things have happened. By doing this work, we are going to attain the wisdom we need to leave these pains and heartaches behind and move forward. There are several things we are going to gain, most important of these gains is going to be the mastery over your ideas of self-worth and personal value. You are also going to gain a grounded and practical approach to using your creative energies as well.
