"ENJOY YOUR BEING AND BECOMING" - Tarot Healing Message for JUNE 20-26

CHANGE.  OPPORTUNITY.  EXPANSION. CREATIVITY.  This week the Wheel of Fortune signals a time of much activity and shifting sands in your external reality.  Do you see your fortunes as rising or falling?  Do you label the events of life as good or bad?  Truly, all experience is neutral until you give it meaning.  Though it may sometimes appear as if a momentum is carrying you along to some kind of destiny that you have not chosen, you always have the power to CHOOSE HOW YOU RESPOND TO EVENTS.  Take a deep breath, and allow yourself to experience the center of your being.  Choose to remain centered within your higher perspective.  Choose to see POSSIBILITY and OPPORTUNITY within every experience and in the world around you.  Choose ACCEPTANCE and PEACE...come what may.  There will never be a time when you will not face change.  So, embrace it, and hold to the center of the wheel of life.  Go ahead and let yourself experience a calm and trust in life's unfolding that can only come when you are at the center of your BEING and BECOMING.  With every turn of the wheel, life is giving you the opportunity to experience more of your PERFECTION and WHOLENESS.  Go ahead...you can smile, laugh out loud and be in awe at the mystery of life...the mystery of you.  It is more than okay to ENJOY EVERY EXQUISITE MOMENT OF YOUR BEING AND BECOMING.

"CAN IT GET ANY MORE BEAUTIFUL?" - Tarot Healing Message for JUNE 13-19

Day-in-day-out, you rise, you eat, you travel, you work, you play, you love, you hurt, you dream.  What is it all for?  What is it all leading to?  No one knows, except you.  YOUR LIFE IS YOUR LIVING WORK OF ART.  Through trial-and-error, you mix and blend the components of your life in order to create something beautiful.  It takes PATIENCE to "get it right."  It takes SELF-REFLECTION and HONESTY.  It takes TIME and EXPERIENCE to find the perfect DYNAMIC-BALANCE that will allow all of your parts to express themselves as one beautiful whole.  This week, go into the stillness and quiet of your being and FEEL THE WORK OF ART THAT IS YOU BEING CREATED.  At this stage in the game, the focus is on BEING and all that you are BECOMING...the doing will follow naturally.  Take a deep breath, and feel all of the various parts of yourself and your life coming into the perfect dynamic-balance.  In every moment this week, see yourself as THE ARTIST, patiently chipping away at the stone to reveal more and more of your true self.

BE YOURSELF.  That is all that is necessary.  "Get-off" on being you.  Align your truth with your heart and act accordingly.  There is great energy and vitality and courage in you, and you can feel it when you value your own authenticity.  BE YOURSELF.  The sun is rising, bringing a new dawn into your life.  BE OPEN.  BE HOPEFUL.  BE OPTIMISTIC.  New possibilities are erupting around you heralding Springtime.  There is new life, new passion, new creativity and new love all around you.  Commune with you and see what life wants to express through you.  Allow joy to be your guide.  Follow your heart, and watch this new energy open and blossom new projects and new relationships before your very eyes.  Pause, now, and feel yourself being flooded with the life force, with new possibilities, with energy, with courage, with boldness to think, feel, and act in alignment with who you really are.  This week, let yourself be inspired by the truth of YOU.    YOU ARE LIFE.

TAROT HEALING MESSAGE FOR MAY 15-21

You are never at a standstill, though at times you may appear to be.  The only constant is CHANGE, and you are either contracting or expanding.  You are either fearing or loving.  Up and down, sadness and joy, suffering and freedom.  The circumstances of our lives continually change, and how will we react?  HOLD TO THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL OF LIFE.  FIND YOUR CALM ESSENCE AT THE CENTER.  See how all experience is neutral until you give it meaning.  This will be a week of change, as you experience the old giving way to the new.  It may seem as if you are carried along on wings of fate.  It may seem that you are flowing down a powerful river with no control.  Your fortunes are shifting.  Why do you worry so?  YOU ARE A CREATIVE BEING.  You can attract what you need.  You can ask for help.  You can intuit your next steps.  See that where you are now-you have been before...and you will be here again.  Take a deep breath, now.  Let yourself go into the center of your BEING and BECOMING.  Rest here for a few moments and feel the contractions and expansions taking place.  Now, affirm that you will be present and ALIVE this week, no matter which way the pendulum of fortune appears to be swinging.  You will be BIGGER than your circumstances.  You will use all experience to BECOME MORE OF WHO YOU TRULY ARE.

REIKI EXPLORATION - "Just for today..."

I haven't posted a tarot healing message for the past two weeks.  Both previous Sundays, I was ready to write a message and post.  I sat down, and I pulled a tarot card.  Both times, words didn't flow.  In the past, I might have tried to force a message...to force the flow.  Not now.  I trust the ebb and flow of insight, awareness, creativity, and expression.

I hope to be "back in the flow" soon and continuing my weekly tarot healing posts.

There is an intensity in the air, and I feel we are all having to wade through "stuff" that may appear to be slowing us down or diminishing our connection with SPIRIT.

For example; I am working a full-time job, rehearsing for a show in the evenings ("Rent" the musical!), and getting home late with only a few hours left in the day before bed.  I'm also saving to buy a car and juggling many things in and around my schedule as unexpected events pop-up that require something from me.  Require what?  My understanding...my patience...my presence...my time...my money. LOL!  Oh, and I forgot to mention my pollen allergies are certainly asking much of me!

Whenever I move through challenging phases in my life, I become even more centered in my Reiki practice.

The Reiki precepts are helping me to remain centered and present, moving gracefully through the ever-shifting kaleidoscope of experience, as I allow CHANGE and UNCERTAINTY to be and exist as they are.

Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki System, said that these principles or precepts were the "secret art of inviting happiness through many blessings" and "a spiritual remedy for all afflictions."  They are universal spiritual teachings that can help us to remember SPIRIT, to stay connected to the bigger picture, even in the midst of this roller-coaster ride we call physical life.

Perhaps they will be helpful to you, as well. 

This is my version of the precepts...what I resonate with most:

Just for today
I will let go of anger
I will let go of worry
I will give thanks for my many blessings
I will do the best I can
I will be kind to myself and every living thing
