Healing your past is a powerful shamanic tool that any person can utilize to release energy that is entangled within the story, pattern or issue. While many esoteric teachings point to staying in the now and dealing with life as it happens, we can have energy “tied up”, entangled or trapped in a story. Once it is released, the power returns to you and you are freed from the story and that energy can be utilized in the present. You do not have to be a shaman to do this work. The wonderful thing about shamanism and journeying is that anyone can try it, because it involves using the imagination and this technique is very similar to a guided meditation, for those who need more direction in doing this. There are no limitations with this exercise: you can heal any issue, pattern, interaction in any way, using your imagination to create the healing through you personally healing the issue, or some energy outside of you, such as angels, ascended masters, spirit guides, healing light and universal energy. I do not want to direct you too much in this mediation, because your imagination is the key, and makes this healing personal to you. Just know that it is okay to use any form to heal the issue, even cartoon characters are acceptable!
The two of cups is often seen as THE card of relationship, but most of all, it is the card of love for YOURSELF! This is the card of Valentines' Day romance. A card of deep bliss, joyous love - fully reciprocated. A card of harmonious energy with an undercurrent of passion and heat.
However, this card is also a deeply reflective and receptive card. To be truly loved, deeply treasured, and highly valued by others, we must first and foremost strive to find these values within ourselves. When we work towards loving ourselves, we hold our inner-selves with high regard and respect. When we are coming from this deeply loving space, other people cannot help but respond to our personal energy.
Recently, several clients have expressed to me how difficult they are finding it to build both friendships and love relationships. The common perception is that the problem lies externally and therefore is beyond their control - so they feel unable to do anything to change the situation, or to create the relationships they are seeking in life.
The energy I pick up around these readings helps me get a feel for what is creating this situation and allows me to guide my clients so that they can get a better understanding of what is underlying the issues, so that they can start to make decisions about what will empower them to change the situation.
We’re right on top of the Year of the Dragon, and it’s time to hold on tight. Yes the more comfortable pace of the Rabbit year is now behind us. 2012 could be seen as the year of EMPOWERMENT! It’s time for us all to re-examine our paradigms, old beliefs and attitudes, and to let go of anything which doesn’t suit any longer. ‘To thine own self be true’ in all ways this year. There are going to be many opportunities for us – it’s time to grab them and take a few calculated risks, if you want to make the most of the Dragon energy all around…
