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!

The Art of the Pause

Posted by Barbara Techel

Mid-summer I began dabbling in mixed media collage. It’s a whole new way for me to embrace pausing in yet a different way. Like writing, when I’m in the flow, nothing else can enter my brain. I’m finding when choosing different layers to collage (papers, paint, and images) I’m not really thinking of anything, but just being with what is.

Yesterday I finished this collage on canvas to support the fact I recently renamed my writing cottage to Joyful Pause Cottage. This 10 x 12 space — a ‘room of my own’ and separate from my house —sits off the southeast corner of our deck. It was built in 2009 as a labor of love by my hubby as a place I could come to as I began my journey of writing two children’s books, three memoirs, and I don’t know how many blog posts I’ve written to date. But let’s just say LOTS!

But it’s become so much more than where I write, that I had been feeling this inner nudge to change its name for quite some time. Joyful pause is also about the joyful paws that have been part of my tribe in helping me evolve over the years — especially three special needs dachshunds. And if you look at the bottom of the collage you’ll see a paw print image to represent each one of them — Frankie, Joie, and Gidget. All three of their sweet and loving spirits remain here in this space with me.

Joyful Pause is now the space in which I collage, write, provide oracle readings via Zoom with clients and for my Youtube channel, meditate, dream of possibilities, and take joyful pause moments to glance out my windows to be inspired by my gardens or connect with the birds, bunnies, turkey, deer, or squirrels that I’ve been blessed to see here in my yard often.
