I shared this post on my Joyful Pause Facebook page yesterday and received such a lovely response from Linda Su who appreciated my honesty and that my sharing helped her with a struggle she was going through. So I thought I’d share this post here, too.
I Love It When Oracle Cards and a Scarab Beetle Make Me Cry…
Well, ok, not always – but for the most part, I do. It means I’ve hit the truth. Once I acknowledge the truth, I can then be with it, feel it, and integrate it. Otherwise, it follows me around and weighs on me like a ton of bricks until I say, “Okay, I see you. I hear you.”
This is so great for helping not repeat patterns. We all do it. It’s human. But it’s why I enjoy working with oracle cards as part of my daily devotion to myself.
I knew right away what these two cards were about today and as happens when I hit that nugget in my heart, it brings tears to my eyes. I was falling back into the pattern of forcing something that is not yet ready to be born. I was in that place of trying to control an outcome of how I think it SHOULD unfold.
And you know where that gets you right? Yup…struggle, and an inner battle that makes you feel off-balance and cranky.
Scarab Beetle was the perfect animal to present himself today to remind me to not push because I think I SHOULD which won’t get me too far – and will feel inauthentic – but in order to shine my true magic, there is grace is allowing the flow to happen with the timing of the Universe.
Go with the flow and listen to that inner compass (i.e., Intuition!) is what To the Sea card said to me.
I KNOW this, but that dang ego of mine wasn’t listening as my mind went round and round.
But after pulling these cards and journaling, I recognized where this was coming from, and I then felt more at peace.
XO,
Barbara
