Against our best efforts our minds can get carried away with worry, fears, anxiety, and worse-case scenarios. We hear about the powerful ways of calming the mind that have worked for others. Positive affirmations and thinking only positive thoughts top the list. However, when we feel afraid inside and utter the words it can feel shallow and soul-less.
Truth be told, we feel anything but happy, calm and content. Are we imposters? Aren’t we supposed to fake it until we make it?
Many people have struggled with these very questions for years, possibly even decades. With little to no success in the long run.
The solution, as you will read about, has to do with catching yourself while in the act of spinning out. Or better yet, before the downward spiral happens.
The antidote is best illustrated through the introduction of the Angel Card, Nine of Air. In my experience this is perhaps the most feared and transformative card in the entire deck.
Why is it feared you might ask?
Symbolically, the Air suit represents the mind, logic, reasoning, truth and legal matters. The mind is also where anxiety, worry, and stress lives when we our thoughts are anything but helpful and supportive.
The message of the card indicates worrying out of proportion to the issue or person you are focused upon. In fact, this card has a strong manifestation energy to it. What you think about expands - a lot!
The situation is actually neutral.
However, your perception of the situation has been very negative and troublesome. To the point that you are not sleeping well.
When you aren't sleeping well, your health begins suffer. It's not possible to make healthy decisions due to the overwhelming energy that is stuck in your system of anxiousness.
Again, the Nine of Air is feared AND incredibly transformative. It is typically not a surprise to a client I’m reading for when it shows up during a session.
Rather, it’s a confirmation of what they’ve been feeling and experiencing.
With this being said, I always see it as a huge message from your Angels telling you to stop the incessant worry.
The sky is not falling. This situation is not really as doom and gloom as you think it is, BUT thinking it is will in fact make it so.
I like to remind people that when you feel yourself getting pulled into the downward spiral of worry, anxiety and stress of someone's else's life - you must take a pause.
Imagine pressing the buttons: Cancel. Clear. Delete.
It simply doesn't work to want more for others than they want for themselves.
Let them grow themselves up. They need to discover they can have their own back. Simply put, it’s one of the most loving gifts you will ever give another human being. Self-reliance.
Now you can lovingly turn the focus back on yourself and begin the nourishing act of self-healing.
At the end of the day, your life is the only one you can make any type of lasting changes to. See yourself as a precious commodity that is worthy of your own time, energy and respect.
There is great wisdom to be gained from this situation. It could be that you learn it’s too high of a cost to you to continually be in the heavy cycle of rescuer, saver and fixer.
It simply does not work.
It could be the reminder to trust your intuition and inner guidance more than you do.
More than likely, you received intuitive "gut instinct" messages on how to proceed going into the situation. But, you over-rode it with logic, reason and rationalizing.
Whatever the nugget of wisdom is that you learned or gained from this situation, do not worry or hang on to the shame energy of wishing you should have reacted differently.
You have the insight now to shift your thoughts.
Take off the "what's going wrong with my life” glasses and put on the "what's going right” glasses.
Deep, restful, restorative sleep is the priority now for deep and restorative healing.
Sleep is the master rhythm to all the other systems in the body. Take naps. Rest often. Journal. Meditate. Take yourself on a gentle walk. Buy yourself flowers.
If this article is speaking to you on a deep level, I encourage you to reach out to me to schedule your own Private Angel Reading. The angels have subtle ways of working with you. Their wish is to get clear, helpful and loving guidance across in a way you understand.
Sometimes we can hear it, but often times we cannot.
We are not meant to travel this human life alone, sweetheart. You are surrounded by so many loving, ascended beings that are simply waiting to assist you. Waiting for you to reach back. Let them.
They are the loving messengers of the Divine and their only job on Earth is to bring you peace of mind, happiness in life and a full heart.
I wish you a beautiful rest of your day, my friend.
💛
