Have you had the experience of seeing the same number sequence over and over? Perhaps it's in the same day or within a few days. Maybe you wake up and its 5:55 a.m., then later in the day you see 555 on a license plate. Then, that evening you happen to look at your clock and it's 5:55 p.m.. Most of us have been trained and schooled to think of this as pure coincidence or just random happenstance. However, I've come to learn and appreciate the deeper meaning in these number messages.
Creative dreams awaken when your inner critic is asleep
You know that restless feeling of tossing and turning at night? Then feeling anxious because you’re not getting a full nights sleep? The mind racing back and forth in all its glory, regardless of how my times you try to count backwards or count sheep to slow it down.
Believe me, you’re not alone. What if… it was really your inner self, your wise self, your creative self trying to get your attention?
You can’t think your way through a heart-based decision
Have often have you found yourself in the cycle of trying to “figure out” a solution to a problem and come up exhausted and disheartened? To the point that you’ve analyzed it from every possible angle multiple times and without a solution you are happy with. This is called over-analyzing, which often leads to over-catastrophizing, over-awfulizing and ultimately scares us so much that we freeze in our tracks. Frightened to make a decision either way, lest in be the wrong one.
The truth is procrastination and excuses can suck the life force right out of us. Am I right? So many ideas, dreams, endeavors and projects can stay stuck in our heads - never to see the light of day.
There are no happy perfectionists
Procrastination and excuses can suck the life force right out of us. So many ideas, dreams, endeavors and projects can stay stuck in our heads - never to see the light of day. Fears, worries and anxiety’s over what if and worst case scenario’s can cast an unwelcome shadow over the most hopeful of dreams. To the point that we literally believe all these negative, self-sabotaging voices to be true.
And, in spite of our best efforts at positive thinking, positive affirmations, meditating, journaling, reading uplifting books, listening to inspiring podcasts - we still stay frozen. Just waiting for the “stars to align” and for “everything to be just right” before we proceed.
Angel Card Message: Page of Summer (meeting someone trustworthy)
By nature the Page or Messenger energy tends to be more shy, introverted and reflective. And, going a bit deeper here, the energy in Court Cards often embodies how you are currently feeling or it reflects someone you know or will soon meet that personifies these traits.
So, on with the show. What does the Page symbolize? And how does her image speak to the suit she embodies - in this case Summer/Cups?
Personally, I find that background information is helpful in viewing the card. In doing readings the first thing my eyes are typically drawn to is the suit and then the corresponding number. If it's above the number 10 then I see which Court Card made it's appearance.
Then, I begin to look at the image or picture shown.
How Good Are You With Slowing Down the Pace of Your Life?
I know this may seem simple, but I encourage you to really ask yourself this question truthfully. Because most people I know pack their schedules full and then wonder when life is going to slow down. And why life remains so hectic. There seems to be a strong disconnect between habitually over-scheduling on one end of the spectrum. And the desire for destination addiction to rescue you from your very own predicament on the other side.
What I've found is that most of us feel like we need to prove our worth, prove our right to be here. And because this low self-esteem mantra plays over and over in our heads like a broken record we begin to put our awareness elsewhere.
Do You Struggle with Peace of Mind?
People today struggle to feel a clear connection to their peace of mind. They read about it. Watch videos about it. Attend workshops, seminars and conferences to learn in-depth about the ancient art of quieting the mind. In hopes to find the stillness within that will ultimately bring contentment, inner peace and clarity.
Sounds wonderful, right? Right. Realistic? Maybe.
Hello? This is your intuition calling...(is anybody there?)
I write this tongue-in-cheek and with a healthy dose of reality. I'm sure many of you can relate to times that you are heightened to your inner feelings, gut- reactions and instincts. These typically come in the form of knowing about a situation before it happens and/or knowing what your true creative talents are that need to be brought forth in the world. You can feel this guidance, but perhaps you don't trust it? Or, you can barely hear it anymore and wouldn't know what to do if you did listen. So, you ignore the ringer and don't pick up. Sound familiar?
Re-energize Your Intuition
We all know the sensation of listening to our gut instinct, but how often do we trust it? In my own experience, it's typically after something happened that went against my better judgement. I would then say, "I knew it! I totally knew that was going to happen. Why didn't I listen?" It wasn't always this way, though. I'm sure many of you can relate. Have you had these feelings, too? Or, perhaps you already have a healthy relationship with inner guidance. But, do you trust it to guide you? I mean really trust it? All the time. Are you a good listener? Or, have you pushed it to the back burner and relied more heavily on logic and intelligence to make decisions?
