Daily Mindfulness for the Week Ahead

The Blade
This blade speaks to the sharpness of the body and mind and spirit, How we wield can bring us great power, as long as we are not using it to hurt others in the process.  Aimed upward it gives us the power of the Heavens and aimed downward it connects us to the Earth.  We can use it to sever negative energies, toxic relationships and energetic cords from the past.

Much like the Swords in the Tarot, we must think before we wield this power - and use it wisely.

The Curse
I imagine we have all felt cursed by something in our lives - whether that stems from generational curses or karmic debt from our own doing - we tend to get stuck in the mindset of "I can't  fix this and I am just cursed by it."

This gives us negative patterns, mental blocks and disease and if we don't see it, understand the original wounding, and take steps to eliminate this, it will take over our lives.

Now is the time to look back at our lives, what is holding us back?   See it, untangle it's threads from your life and release it.   

We co-create this world - leave the limitations behind you. You no longer need to carry that weight.

Lightning
Which is very timely as I woke up to a unexpected storm this morning!  Lightning is a powerful force of both creation and destruction. Harness that mighty energy properly and you can create anything.  A divine gift from the Upper World that gives us clarity and passion as we fulfill our destinies.

The Spiral
This week it is time for us to turn inward and journey into the depths of psyche. Life is very much a looping spiral - we go around and around, but note, never in the same exact spot as before. Sometimes we go up and sometimes we go down - depending on the lessons we need to be concentrating on. 

Trust yourself and the Universe - both will guide you to the lessons and knowledge we need to learn.

Standstill
There is a concept in Japanese called, "ma," or the space/pause between things.  When I play Taiko, the Ma is the space between the beats and is just as important because without it, everything blurs together - cacophony instead of music.

When we hit the Standstill, it is time to pause and find your music again.  This is a gift of breathing space - a time of temporary nonaction in which we can see what is going on around us while we are too busy to notice.

Enjoy the Ma - take the gift and go play awhile.  The Universe knows what it's doing. Trust.

Water and Rain a perfect draw for a very wet weekend - and a perfect reminder to feel those emotions this week. Happy? Feel it deep in your soul.  Even the sad emotions need tending too - don't brush them away, feel them and try to understand them, so you can work with them.   The rain makes a perfect time to wash away any sticky or unwanted feelings as well.

The Rainmaker brings new life from the seeds we hold within us - what will you create this week?

Please notice the lovely gift Crow left me by their feeding area! This is the longest feather I have received yet!  Aho!

The Crow
This is a week of speaking our truth and practicing our truth.  When we do this, then everything we do/say/create is the truth.   Look into your heart and soul and be honest with yourself - truth can be relative, so let's not justify what we feel is our truth - always go for the highest truth - no illusions.

The Staff
This card speaks to finding our balance and personal power in times when we feel slightly lost and adrift in the daily grinds we get stuck in.  The staff gives us balance and helps us find the perfect middle ground between the extremes.

When we find our balance we can trust that our intuition is guiding us to where we need to be.  This card reminds me of the Wheel in tarot.  The best place to stand on that wheel is the center, where everything finds perfect balance.  

Stay Centered - Stay Balanced

The Lovers
This is a week of passion and desire - Love. Not necessarily romantic love, but of what you love to do or see or be or create. This is about digging deep to find what really makes you passionate - are you hiding or ignoring something that you really want to be doing to instead to something that just gets you by?

This is about being fully honest with yourself and making that great leap into your heart, trusting that the Universe will be there and support you as you move forward with Love.

Ten of Wands
I guess this week comes with a warning of sorts - don't take too much on yourself and if you have to, think about how you want to carry it. There is a lot of fiery energy and it needs to be carefully controlled - you can't suppress it, but you can't let it run amok either.

Stay focused so you can stay balanced.
