Medicine Wheel – Continuation
Each situation in life provides you with a learning experience. We learn equally from the good and happy experiences as we do from the bad and upsetting. We experience these events in order to gain understanding.
When you look at the Medicine Wheel card, consider yourself stepping inside the wheel and seeing the continuity of existence in the circle. Look to the North and the over your shoulder to the East. Turn around and look to the south, then over your shoulder to the West.
Then turn around and you are facing North. It is a continuity of life. We speak about “moving on” from a situation, but in reality, we are turning inside the wheel to another experience and using what we have learned to succeed at the next challenge in a different direction.
If there is a place you always go to relax and detach from a stressful life, imagine that place as also being your special place where you have your own Medicine Wheel. The medicine wheel you build is a map, a Shamanic map of you and your life. When you step into your own personal Medicine Wheel you gain the benefit of the power the ring gives you to move forward with more assurance and learning from past events.
Sea Creatures – Immersion
Sea Creatures speak to immersion of yourself, your ideas, your thoughts, your feelings and your intuition in a look within to see your limitations. This is a card that tells you to look at what you want to experience, what your wishes are, and recognise that they go beyond your limits.
Put it another way, if one of you hope to write a book, and you do not have pen or paper, or a computer and word processing software, you will never reach your goal of creating your book. Some of us will allow the lack of pen and paper to become insurmountable and not move beyond the blockers.
Yet there are resources all around us. We, just need to look for them and use them.
Immerse yourself in your goals and desires. Acknowledge limitations and move beyond them.
An essential ask of this card is for you to be open to your inner feelings of hope and desire for success and break down the barriers that you allow to stand in your way.
Being open allows you to add fun to the things you do. Making things fun will lessen the sense of effort they require.
Conch Shell – Calling
Conch shells are shamanic trumpets. Like a vigorous alarm, the sounding of the Conche shell is a wake-up call. Have you been asleep?
This card is a repeat of March 28. This is a reminder, a prod in the ribs telling you to wake up and be active.
Your busy mind, your busy life, is blocking you from hearing the message of spirit and the offering the universe is sending you. Is something wonderful staring you in the face yet you do not see it?
This is time to connect with your true essence. That which makes you enjoy and move and progress within yourself, not because someone else wants you to.
The subtext on the card is “Calling.” Calling you to action, action that will make you happy and enjoy the world and your spiritual existence.
Spend some time alone. Feel the energy of your spirit and the calling to which you are awakening. Now is the time to move and grow, be what you are. Enjoy this wake up call!
