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.

On Being an Empath. Animal Wisdom Oracle Reading for Week of Nov. 16, 2020

Posted by Barbara Techel

I’m pretty sure many that watch my animal wisdom oracle readings are empaths. Animals and empaths go together like peanut butter and jelly.  🙂

So today my reading is all about being an empath after a personal experience I had last week that felt deeply intense. This led me to understand myself better and I hope my sharing those struggles along with wisdom from the animals will be of benefit to you too.

Have a beautiful week!

Spirit Animal Awareness Deck Review and a Reading of Truth and Abundance

Posted by Barbara Techel

I recently purchased this Spirit Animal Awareness deck. I learned about the creator of the deck, Ona Christie Martin when I discovered she will be one of the speakers for an upcoming Animal Oracle Card Summit (hosted by Dr. Cara Gubbins) coming in January 2021. I’m excited to share that I’ll be one of the speakers also!

I now have a total of fifteen animal oracle decks in my collection. Truth be told? I’ve been pondering for a while now making an animal deck of my own. I’ve done some research and am playing with a collage art form, so will see if something eventually comes to fruition. But for now, I’m enjoying the exploration of it all.

And for now, I enjoy supporting other animal oracle deck creators. I just love the soft colors and watercolor images Ona has created in this 44 card deck (she also includes two blank cards to create your own). I think she has beautifully captured the spirit of each of the animals in her deck. As I went through each card, holding each in my hand the other night, I felt soothing and calming energy coming from them.

Each animal card has several words associated with it. What I appreciate is that Ona has also included shadow aspects of each animal too. In my own journey with animal guides and a chapter I share in my latest memoir, it was Snake I never expected to be one of my teachers. Because I feared snake in some ways, it wasn’t easy for me to look at them and see them as a teacher. But as I’d learn to dance with the wisdom of Snake, I’d come to the other side of honoring and respecting Snake – which would turn out to be a reflection of what I needed to do for myself also.

This morning I did a reading for myself with this deck. Before looking at the words associated with each card, I did a free write of what immediately came to mind. Then I looked at the words on the card and chose those that resonated and wrote a sentence associated with that word and how that animal was supporting me with my question.

After journaling with each card separately I read the cards together. I felt like the message was one that others could benefit from also so I thought I’d share with you too:

Stay grounded in your truth and strength as this is your foundation when it may feel like you are swimming upstream and against the tide. But remember it’s the connection to your heart and the details of what matters most to you that you will always experience abundance.

With the outside world on such shaky ground right now, I hope my sharing this will bring you a moment of peace.

Barbara
