Happy Holidays, friends! It’s likely a full and busy week for many of you. So here is a short video oracle reading with help from Seal that I hope will bring you inner peace and remind you of your Divine blessings. xo, Barbara
Animal Oracle Reading & Guidance – Moving through the Holidays Practicing Deep Self-Care
I initially started out this reading with the intention to have you pick a card first (1, 2, or 3) that would represent your personal message for this week. But when I turned the cards over I realized quite quickly there was an important overall theme that played out as a story in motion for all of us. But as you will hear in the opening, you can still choose 1, 2 or 3 as your card just for you, but then to also see how it plays out with the other two cards that I hope will only enhance the reading for you. So I hope you enjoy it and that it serves you well! xo, Barbara
Animal Oracle Guidance for the Last Few Weeks of 2019
I’d been waiting for this new deck for quite some time and they finally arrived last week. Yippee! So I asked the cards for all of us:
What animal ally is guiding us as we move through these final weeks of 2019?
You can read below or listen to the reading here on SoundCloud.
I’ll admit I was hoping to pull a cute and cuddly animal to share with you. When scorpion presented itself I hesitated whether or not I should go with it.
But alas, after simmering in scorpion medicine, I believe this is just the animal that will guide us in the most beneficial way.
As I looked at the card I heard, “It’s true, sometimes life stings, but this is where the real value lies. Don’t look away.”
It’s in those goals we perhaps didn’t achieve this year that we wished we did, the emotions that come up for us over the holidays that are challenging, or the feelings of regret or loss, that we can learn from.
We can wallow in the uncomfortable feelings of those situations, or we can take the sting as an opportunity to be gentle with ourselves and look at how we can resolve to change and take what we learned to move forward in a more meaningful way.
There really is no such thing as failure, but rather just information for us to evolve in a new way.
How are you going to direct your life right now so that you move into 2020 with a new perspective? The number 9 on the card is symbolic of endings, so this is a great time to review and set intentions of how you will move forward.
You can do this! Without the sting of life, we wouldn’t grow, and so let Scorpion walk beside you as you boldly accept all that life entails as part of the journey of living here on planet earth.
