FINDING TRANSFORMATION IN CHAOS

The world can seem out of control and chaotic at times. Just watch the news or go see the latest apocalyptic action movie. Fires, bombs, poverty, war, stock market, economy, murders, racism, terrorists, global pandemics and on and on. If we don’t have ways to stay in peace and navigate these crazy times, we will suffer, no doubt about it. Over time, we will feel frustrated, powerless, frightened, and angry. We will complain constantly and lose hope. This can lead to various unhealthy ways to cope, to numb ourselves, or to react irrationally. We will spiral down to minimize our Divine connection to our Best Selves and to Source. But there is a different way to respond to all the outward circumstances swirling around us. Rather than collapsing into despair, we can choose to respond in such a way that we can allow all the disruption to give us opportunities toward a path to wellness and peace. Which path will you choose? Check out Dr. Therese’s five suggestions for finding peace in chaos Finding-peace-in-chaos (you can skip the sign-up-for-my-email thing to read this excellent article). And Dr. Edith Eger’s amazing personal account of living through one of the most atrocious events in history and how she not only survived, but found a way to heal and thrive – award-winning and highly recommended read The Choice. Embrace the Possible. You’ll also find an engaging TedTalk, The Creativity of Chaos, and other thought-provoking info here Chaos-why-our-lives-depend-on-it. Lastly, Br. David Sreindl-Rast, also known as the Grandfather of Gratitude, is a 90+-year-old Benedictine Monk with some spunk! Watch his TedTalk Want to be happy? and his Super-Soul-Sunday interview with Oprah, Super-soul-sunday. You’ll also find lots of free and inspirational resources at his website Grateful.org where I found this article to share with all of you 12-reasons-embrace-chaos-move-forward-life. I sincerely hope these resources will help you on your journey through these challenging times.

If you would like a personal reading, go to Alignmentmojo.com to reserve your spot. This is something new I’m offering! I will add other types of readings soon. You can choose either a private video link or a Zoom.
GUIDING VIKING RUNE – THE SELF/MANNAZ Our guiding rune energy is that of beginning a new cycle, setting new intentions of deeper self-discovery and growth so that we have more to offer others in our relationships. Staying fully in the present moment and going within to connect with our inner guidance to stay in balance. If you are feeling stressed or any other negative emotions, acknowledge your feelings, thank them for showing you opportunities for growth, then go to your place of sanctuary. Find your happy place. Self care is always called for and always restorative.
TWO OF SWORDS/DESTINY – You are at a crossroads. Need to make a choice, but are not fully understanding or seeing all the important aspects of each choice. Perhaps you don’t want to see something that you are fully aware of on some level, but are choosing to ignore, or perhaps you don’t feel confident in your ability to make the right choice. Your oracle card here is Destiny which invites you to remember to stay in alignment with your higher purpose. Have you forgotten or become distracted from it? You have gifts to share with the world. Step into your power.
FIVE OF PENTACLES/FULL MOON IN PISCES – This shows us our “walking wounded” energy at the inner child level. You have a relationship with your Inner Being/inner child self that needs some healing work. This is all about forgiveness of ourselves based on unloving childhood experiences that turned into core beliefs. Your Inner Being knows these beliefs are not YOU. There is help always available to you, but you are not fully tapping into the resources that can guide you to forgiveness and release of yourself and any others you’ve not fully forgiven (as shown on this card). Look up! The paired Full Moon in Pisces (which happens at the end of August and thus is right ahead) card indicates a need to FORGIVE in order for our fullest happiness to manifest. We block our own joy by staying stuck in unreleased anger or disappointment.
KING OF PENTACLES/WARRIOR – Strong financial independence and abundance are indicated here. This King is very self-confident and accomplished. This masculine energy is strong, organized, hard-working and has gained wealth both materially and spiritually. Perhaps this is where you are now, or perhaps it is what you are manifesting. Either way, appreciate all you have, all you have created, and all you have learned along the way. Appreciate all the ways your life is rich and good, and more richness and good will come. The paired Warrior card reminds you to stand strong and remain FEARLESS. Fear separates us from our Highest Good and our Best Selves. Fear is an energy we can acknowledge and release by staying in the appreciation mode.
#- 51 Abraham Hicks – You can follow the trails of good feeling thoughts. Again, stay in the vibe of deliberately looking for things to admire and appreciate. When you get discouraged or down, find something you can feel good about. Music, a walk in the wilderness, a swim, a sweet poem a loved-one wrote for you, a delicious fresh peach. Admire and appreciate a beautiful sunset or sunrise. Beauty is all around you. Abundance is all around you.
PAGE OF CUPS/SPOTTED SKUNK – Creativity. Intuition. The unexpected. New perspectives. A new idea or opportunity is presenting itself to you now. Be open to exploring a new facet of yourself. Dream again – anything is possible. This is the energy of synchronicities and surprises, trying something new. Your intuition and even psychic abilities could be heightened now if you remain open and curious. Just go with the flow and see where it leads. The paired Spotted Skunk card is interesting here. Yes, she can cause a stink, but smelling things up is really a last resort. First she tries a lot of other strategies to scare off whatever is freaking her out. She doesn’t back down, though, and the harm she appears to create is really not permanent or long lasting. Where do you feel threatened? Is someone stinking things up for you? Standing strong and being in your power has been indicated throughout this reading. In order to fully embrace your life and abundance, be clear on your beauty and strength. Let no one treat you otherwise or try to convince you otherwise. Infinite possibilities are there for you.
May you always walk in the remembrance of who you truly are. And may you never lose your song.
