Curious Minds Invitation to Come Join Me as I Take Robin through an Oracle Reading

Posted by Barbara Techel

There have been many times in my life where others have held space for me that has been such a gift to help me move forward with confidence. It’s why I now do what I do as I find it rewarding to watch others experience positive shifts and find the clarity they need to live with more peace, love, and joy. And after all, isn’t that what we are ultimately here to experience? I think so.

An oracle reading is like a graceful and intricate dance between my client, me, and the cards – each part integral to providing a roadmap to help guide you forward with clarity and confidence, and on your way to living more in alignment with who you truly are. 

I was so grateful when last month, Robin, who is a photographer, writer, and podcast host for OurStoriesToday.com, generously offered to have her one-to-one oracle reading recorded so others who are curious and aren’t sure how one works could get a peek inside one and understand how a reading can provide valuable insight.

So I share that recorded reading with you today in the event you’ve been curious too. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions after you’ve watched the video. 

Also feel reach out to me if you’d like to book a session to have a reading to focus on a specific intention or challenge, or to look at your year ahead. I also offer a free ten-minute session if you want to explore if a reading is right for you with no obligation to book a full session.

So without further ado…Click here or on the image below to watch the reading unfold.

Animal Wisdom Oracle Reading – Waking to this Life – Week of Jan. 4, 2021

Posted by Barbara Techel

Happy New Year Friends!

Today I share a quote about setting the intention to affirm life. As we move into this New Year how do we take what we’ve learned from 2020 while waking to this very life we are living now? The animals share some important messages to do just that. You’ll also have a chance to pick card 1, 2, or 3 as your personal message. 

Also, just to let you know that after this week I’ll be posting the readings to my blog on Sundays, so you will have them a day earlier. 

Click here or on the graphic below for the reading.

Enjoy this week’s reading and have a great week!

YouTube Channels that Inspired, Comforted & Brought Me Joy in 2020

Posted by Barbara Techel

Here we are…about to say goodbye to 2020. I can feel and hear a collective sigh. But I also hope those lessons we learned will stay with us as I believe we will need them as we move into 2021 and beyond.

One thing for me this year, which I believe I’ve mentioned here before is that I want to continue to be committed to a simple life. One in which I follow the flow of what is in alignment with who I am. 

With that said, this year I discovered some channels on YouTube that inspired me along this theme. I thought maybe you’d enjoy learning about them too. So I share below my list of YouTube creators that inspired me, comforted me, and brought me joy this year. And I know I’ll continue to look forward to their updates in 2021!

They are in no particular order as I’d have a hard time picking one as a favorite. They all have something special to offer!..and a few of them have some animal friends that always make me smile!

Fairyland Cottage – Healthy recipes, simple living, and natural products for health and wellbeing all filmed in Ireland where creator, Niamh lives.

The Cottage Fairy –  Paola (don’t you just love her name?) has the sweetest little country cottage where she shares snippets of her world living as an artist in rural Washington State. I took her up on donating to her channel which brought a darling postcard of her art to me in the mail! It’s now on my bulletin board of inspiration in my Joyful Pause cottage. She also has an adorable black bunny and sweet black Lab, plus now and then you’ll catch a glimpse of her mom’s dachshund!

Kirsten and Joerg – These two are the cutest and most endearing couple! Middle-aged, living in the UK, but originally from Germany. They share travel tips in the UK – English style & fashion – Gluten-free recipes – Romantic Britain – Romantic Interior & Vintage shopping, and so much more.

Trout and Coffee – This man is a beautiful storyteller. Set in quaint New England he shares the cozy cabin he built, plus good times with friends…and of course, coffee is involved too.  🙂

The Unexpected Gypsy – Several years ago, Wendy, an artist, gave up a mortgage, a job & everything familiar to her and traveled around Europe with her partner James in their campervan! It completely changed her life & gave her time to concentrate fully on her art practice. She is now settled (for now!) in the almost smallest city in the UK – Wells and has an art studio just down the road in Glastonbury.

Simple Living with Scandish Home – Try and not fall in love with Noemi. She is so sweet! She posts videos every week about cleaning, organizing, decluttering, gluten and dairy-free recipes, home decor, DIY, and natural living. She’s a watercolor artist who also loves to cook for her family and has a passion to create the coziest home possible.

Dori – an artist who shares updates of her journaling which I find absolutely relaxing and like a meditation!

Daughter of Old – Annabel Margaret is a freelance artist, videographer, green witch, and aspiring herbalist and shares the everyday rhythms of her life as she works in tune with the seasons and alongside nature. She has a passion for the old ways and tries her best to incorporate the practices of old into her daily life whenever she can. And she just got the cutest puppy!!

If any of them call to you I hope you have fun checking them out. Do you have any simple living and inspiring channels you follow on Youtube?  I’d love to know!

Happy New Year!
