The World

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Todays card is the last card in the Tarot; The World.

The World signifies completion in a way… it is telling us that we’ve got a grasp on how all of this works but even though we have a grasp on it, our feelings still prevail.

It’s difficult to just stop emotions from happening, nor would you want to, they are what make us human. Those that are stone faced to you are most likely suppressing feelings inside that will eventually destroy them. Think of your suppressed emotions like a dam; As the waters (emotions) build up there is a lot of pressure put on that dam, the bigger the wall, the more pressure on it and if that sucker breaks…. Oh hell, watch out!

So I understand why you would be afraid to release this pressure. I’m sure you’re afraid that once the flood gates open EVERYTHING will change.

It will. Believe me.

But eventually as the waters settle, after all of the old shit gets washed away; the old patterns, relationships, old feelings of suppression, of insignificance, of abandonment… you will start to notice the people around you who have also let that dam break. No longer will you feel the need to hide. No longer will you feel the need to escape.

Vulnerability is the last step taken before embracing the World card. It’s saying, “Fuck it!”

The freedom of being able to break down, reflect, share, grow… all of these empowering emotions allow you to concentrate on your true purpose in life. It allows you to be you without reservation. It allows you the freedom to express your true authentic self.

I know you are scared, I was too. I am fortunate to have good friends that encourage my expression no matter how quirky I might be from time to time. They have the comfort of knowing that they are seeing the true self, my true self.

Maybe it’s time for a serious breakdown like I had. A feeling like your world is upside down. Maybe it’s time for you to hit rock bottom and build yourself back up? Talk to people that have experienced this. Talk to me if you want. I’ll lay it all out there for you. Whatever it takes to help you live to your fullest potential.

Peace!

Ten of Wands

Oppression

Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed?
I told you in our last reading what is going on in my life so it’s not worth the redundancy because quite honestly, even with all of the stress… I chose this life. I have accepted it fully with all of it’s glories and pitfalls.

So what do we do to deal with this feeling of being overwhelmed?

The negatives are drugs, booze, anything that will mask the feeling but not really fixing the issue at hand. The best way is to face it head on.
Fuck it! What can it really hurt?
I’ll be the first one to tell you that every once in awhile I succumb to my vices but for the most part I will spend time alone, in meditation, in reflection, and in appreciation of where I am and how I got here. I count my blessings because I do notice the less fortunate around me. We all go into our pity parties, and it’s usually with the people that we feel safest around. The down side is that side seems to be more prevalent than the lighter side that the rest of the world gets to see all of the time.

I’ve learned the hard way that you can’t dump on your lovers or your friends repeatedly hoping that they have the answers to fix your problems. All it’s going to do is drive them away. That is why it is imperative to have good quality downtime with yourself, nobody else. Stare in the mirror and ask yourself about yourself. Really dig deep.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, it’s ok. Just know that it is a temporary situation that will pass as long as you take a deep breath and allow it all to flow around you.

Peace!

Wheel of Fortune

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Today’s card is the Wheel of Fortune. They say that life is cyclical, not linear. We aren’t just born, live, then die. There is so much more to a life than just that. So why do we live this way? We know that the Moon revolves around the Earth, and the Earth around the Sun. We know that trees bloom in the spring and then die in the fall. We see this all around us and yet think we are separate from it all.

If we learn to ease into life just as nature does, if we stop struggling and start going with the flow, trusting that no matter what our lives will be ok, then that is when the magic begins. Recognizing that when you have a down period there will inevitably be an up.

When we live with linear thought we can’t conceive that life will eventually be good after a bad period in our lives. We struggle and struggle to be happy, to conform to the rat race, pretend that everything is ok so that when we reach the end of the line we will have people who care about us, near us.

Believe me… I get it.

As of today I have 11 days left here in England before I head back to the US. Head back to what? I don’t know. I don’t know where I am going to live, what I’m going to do about work, how I’m going to get around besides my bicycle and motorcycle. There are a million and one questions bouncing around my head right now. But you know what? I KNOW something good is going to happen. I TRUST that the universe will provide for me. I ALLOW it all to flow around me.

Just Breathe. Just Know. Just Trust. Just Allow.

Peace!

Today’s card comes as no surprise. Work.

Yesterday while spending time with my sister we went to Stonehenge and then last night stayed in a little town called ‘Avebury’. The last time I was here was with my Ex and her Mom. As it would be, my Ex had deleted me off of Facebook either that morning or the day before. It totally triggered me even though it was something as silly as that.
A friend of mine told me that I need to do the work. I needed to delve deeper into my spiritual practice. She was right in a way, I had been traipsing around it. I guess I was just expecting a bit more empathy for my pitiful feelings at the time. Ha!

A Spiritual Practice is just that… Practice.

There are times that our ego gets bruised and we go into a pity party with ourselves searching for our ‘blanky’ for comfort. And that is ok, but then it’s back to the work.
Having these moments does not mean that you are going backwards, that you haven’t learned anything. It just means that there is more to learn.
There is always more to learn.

But… if you find yourself ALWAYS in this pity party land then it’s time to find out why? Have you really done the work or is it just a facade to make you feel and look good? That’s a tough question to ask and I only ask it because I ask it of myself as well. It keeps me in check.

Do the work.

Peace!

Queen of Cups

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Did you see the full moon last night? I woke at 3am and saw it light up my hotel room. Vibrant and bright.

Today’s card is the Queen of Cups. Reflection!

If you are an empath you find yourself taking on other peoples emotions that is why it is imperative to have enough alone time so that you can tap into your own emotions. When you don’t have adequate alone time you end up being an emotional wreck because you can’t distinguish your own emotions to those that you pick up throughout the day.

I thought being an empath was complete rubbish until somebody pointed it out to me. I had just finished two back to back Reiki sessions but I felt completely and utterly depressed. My then GF asked me, ‘Who were you working on today?’ That’s when it dawned on me that one of the two people I had been working on had just had a family member die. That’s when it dawned on me that this wasn’t me, that empathic abilities are real.

I believe that all of us have this ability in one degree or another unless you’re a narcissist or a sociopath. Have you ever noticed that when you hang around a certain type of person for a good amount of time that you end up acting like them? Or at least feeling like them?
Today is a good day to reflect. Spend some time alone and start digging in to your true emotions. Start really analyzing if this is you or something you’ve picked up. What are your true emotions? Who are you?

Peace!

Six of Wands

This card is the card of Victory!

What an amazing card for an amazing day. Today is Friday the 13th with a FULL HARVEST MOON!!! The last time we had one of these was in 2000 and the next one won’t be until 2049. Not only that but today is my sister Nicole’s Birthday and she is flying out here to England to visit me. Victory!!! So… what does this card mean?

It’s time for you to recognize where you are and how you got there. I know for me I have been blessed to have mentors all around me. I’ve listened and learned, and in turn I have spoken and taught.

I’ve mentioned numerous times about balance, about the Yin and Yang. It’s understanding that we cannot do this alone. If we learn from others we have to therefore teach, to pass the torch… In the music world, probably just like any other word there are egos. There are those that learn from others and then horde that knowledge to rise to a stature above others. Let me tell you… I’ve met some of these inflated egos. They are miserable, alone, and scared. They put up the front of being better than you which only distances them further into their own misery. On the opposite side, the side I do my best to emulate, are the ones that no matter how much success they’ve achieved, they are there to help you along. They WANT to see you succeed.
Today, see that area of your life where you are successful. Recognize the ones that have helped you get where you are. Are you emulating their actions or are you in fear of losing what you’ve gained? Again, balance. There will always be ups and downs.

Acknowledge the ups. Don’t take them for granted. Be grateful, no matter what level of success you have. Be grateful for those that have helped you on your journey. This is the time to teach.

Reflect on the downs. Downs are inevitable. In the Hermetic Principles, one of the laws, is the Principle of Rhythm. As the pendulum swings one way it swings the equal and opposite other way. So when you are down… that is the time to learn, the time to surround yourself with those people and lessons you’ve learned.

Peace!

The Nine of Disks

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Gain

Every now and then I freak out about how I’m going to pay for all of this. I mean, I live a pretty meager lifestyle, for the most part. I don’t own a lot, nor do I owe a lot. My expenses stay very, very low just so I can do what I want to do. But even still, when there is no income it can cause a bit of a panic.

I just keep moving forward with what I love, trusting that it will all come together somehow… and you know what? It does. The Universe seems to provide when I least expect it too.
I hear people talking about working hard and saving their money, but quite honestly unless you are working hard at what you love then you are wasting your time. When you work hard at what you love it becomes play. You can do it night and day without feeling that burnout that you feel when you are ‘working for the man’. If you trust that everything is going to be ok and you keep focusing on what you love you will understand this. I know it’s scary, believe me. It’s usually the people that you surround yourself with that are more scared than you are. They are the ones telling you to be careful, to save your pennies, etc. These people are usually the ones that have set them up where they have to do this. They’ve decided that a new car, a house, a boat, nice clothes, etc. are important to them. That’s fine. Again, as long as they are doing what they love. If they are not they are, as Billy Corgan once said, they are just another Rat in a Cage.

I can only speak from my experience so don’t take offense. What I found about about me is that when I usually went out and bought things that I didn’t need it was a sort of comfort food. It took my mind off of the real problems in my life. When I started focusing on the problems, resolving the issues I started to purge all of that extra ‘stuff’. Look at your life. Are you doing what you want to do? What is stopping you? This is your life, not anybody else’s. Do yourself a favor and start living it.

Peace!
