Ashram Monday’s

No.37

Todays card is an interesting one! I am currently in Scotland on holiday with friends.. not quite sure if the signal would allow me to post this or be connected to life back in Nottingham.. but it’s been a nurturing holiday so far, much needed by myself, and I feel, my soul sisters I’ve come here with.

You know the friends.. the ones that connect with, that no matter how cookie and quirky you are, how different you are from each other.. you have a common energy and ethos in life.. respect for our diversity and still love each other for them. I hope you have those friends, too. I’m lucky to have a few.

It was only yesterday that me and the girls were talking about self awareness to the point of not relying on anyone else. We all seem to carry on from our start in life looking at our parents for decisions to looking at our friends snd relationships for that same support. It doesn’t allow us to get to know ourselves fully when others decide or make choices for us and certainly from childhood where we need our familial education and love to give us a kick start in life we require to be happy.. as we get older I feel we all need to turn to ourselves for guidance. To do that and fully trust it.. we need to get a couple of things straight.

Our intuition is our main source of guidance given to us just by being born human, like all animals, a distinctive survival mechanism to allow us to avoid danger and predators. Today our sixth sense modern life generally focused on less life and death decisions, from career, relationships, when to cross the road and which road to choose! It is our pure core guidance.

The second is really for us to truly get to know ourselves.. because in doing so we are then able to channel that inner knowing and our inner guidance. We already know what we want and don’t in our lives and all we need to do is be still and listen to how we feel. Difficult when we aren’t sure how we feel snd even more so on bigger decisions in life which already may carry an emotional weight with it.

Todays card synchronistically has come about after a conversation with my friends yesterday about inner healing and trusting in that and the universe for our guidance, knowing we are always fully supported by them, cared by them and surrender to our journey in life where things have taken a negative turn for us. There will be times when we need to access that and embrace it, finding that ‘knowing’ within and peace with it.

At the same time a friend sent an angel card yesterday.. I only saw it today.. card of the day..

..speaking of exactly that!.. then today’s card comes along..

5. Healing

..& although it says ‘healing’ on the card I feel we are doing that to old habits, old self taught beliefs, old toxic behaviours so that we may truly listen to our inner selves and trust our inner child to help us navigate through whatever turmoils Mercury retrograde will be kicking up. Retrograde are all about laying to rest old patterns of thinking, leaving behind old baggage, return of old relationships and rekindle or leave that in the past. It is a time for cleansing.. and that is what I feel this card is about. Cleansing your inner self so that you may seek your own internal guidance from a position of balance and peace.

We all know that when we are feeling emotional, we are in no position to make a clear important decision without feeling disappointment or regret about it after.

Take time to heal. Your angels (the wings in the card) are there to see you through and if you see many 5’s this week ahead, be sure that as it’s a divine number, your angels/the universe are with you.

Take the time to heal because you are in turn taking the time to nurture your own guidance and strengthen it so that it will never let you down.

I had to seek that internal guidance when I got sick a couple of years ago.. without it I could not have pulled through, supporting my friends and family as much as I could through it and coming out with more self love, love for all my loved ones and love for the world.

As always I have not read the book description of the card but the message to me has been clear since yesterday.. heal and if you haven’t focus on it and align yourself to be your own guide for your own greater good and in turn, for the greater good of those that are lucky enough to be in your lives as a beacon of love and light.

Happy beginning of October!

Love and Light☀️
