Oneness Is My True Nature

The decks used for this reading are listed in the sources tab

Yet again, this was one of those readings I did that I had no idea what I was going into; I just started drawing cards and a reading came out of this. I do think it works together though and I find it resonating well with me. How can I reconnect with myself? What am I facing in the coming days? And is there anything else I can do to make what connections I already have that much stronger? To the cards we go.

The cards

The immediate thought that I get from this reading is that I am connecting with the energies and good things in my life right now. Things in my life are falling away that aren’t serving me anymore and this is creating space for me to experience all the good and wonderful things yet to come for me. This is also helping me to understand when to be brave, when to ask questions and to know that life will happen around me no matter what. There are things I need to do for myself in all of this though. One I need to understand that life is not lived if you remain on the sidelines, especially if you’re there out of fear. As I’ve said before: things happen whether we want them to or not. Letting go of old negativity and bad energies, releasing yourself to new possibilities and occasionally shifting focus on things when necessary will help me connect with the good and wonderful things in my life. I also need to know that I am supported and loved and that the people that do these things for me are the people that make up the community I associate in. There will be a time to celebrate and a time to come together with these people and for now, the work I do will make these celebrations so much sweeter.

Moving ahead, I need to keep in mind that there will be hard work and lots to juggle. It may feel overwhelming, burdensome and too much of a challenge. But the secret here is that I can indeed face these challenges if I keep in mind that I am powerful and have the ability to rise to the challenges that come my way. If the work I am doing does in fact become too much, I can always take a step back and reflect. This might put me in a period of waiting, but this will serve me well because I can always use this time to reignite my inner passions and creativity.
