#5 Newsletter
If you are new here, each week, I share an Oracle card reading, a prompt and a playlist. I am so so glad you are here...
This Week’s Oracle Card Pick:
THE UNICORN
Reconnecting to Higher Wisdom or Divinity
**Note: Oracle cards, just like any divination tool, synchronous event, or answered prayer, are simply sacred way finders. Tools that help us find our way back to ourselves.
What’s the first thing you thought when you saw the word UNICORN?
I’m willing to bet it was “What a load of shit,” right?
Me too!!
We are not programmed to believe in Magic. To trust in The Unseen. Yet that’s precisely what Spirituality is.
In an effort to protect us from disappointment, the busy command center between our ears rushes to shut down the idea, like the rusty corrugated garage door on a storage facility.
“Nope.” It says. “Sounds fishy to me. Let us stick to what we know.” And so our thoughts tack themselves to the nearest pinball and race down the closest “shooter track” into the arm-swings of consumerism, alcoholism, workaholism, people pleasing, or perfectionism. Things we can actively get our hands on.
It comes as no surprise that our inability to believe in Unicorns directly correlates with our inability to believe in our own Deepest Wisdom; in our Gifts; in our Art, and in our potential to caress the world with our specific blend of Magic.
Faith is ultimately believing in The Unseen. In that which cannot be known. Spirituality is trusting there’s a Higher Order divining our lives. A matrix of organized chaos we actively participate in but cannot touch with our hands.
The yogis say that the third eye (the precise location from which the unicorn horn extends) houses our Intuition, Divinity, and Highest Wisdom. Even if you’re not “a believer,” it can still be beneficial to focus your attention on the space between your eyes. The place said to house our ability to peer into the future and dare to glimpse into the Wild Unknown.
5 MINUTE PRACTICE
Light a candle
Find an uncluttered space in your home and sit, closing your eyes
Spend 2 minutes Box Breathing, using the practice detailed below
For the remaining 3 minutes, bring your awareness to your third eye (the space between your eyebrows).
Allow your mind to drift into playful curiosity.
Ponder the following questions, or insert your own!
What are you willing to let go of so that you can finally step into your magic, your high art? Your purpose and potential?
What far-off vision do you secretly wish for yourself? Allow your dream to be as big and bodacious as humanly possible!
Now picture yourself having achieved this vision. Standing in the light of a dream fully realized. What are you wearing? Who are you with? How do you feel?
Hold this vision proudly in your mind’s eye for 4 rounds of box-breathing.
Now, take out your journal and write about what you saw through this new portal. Your dreams are only your dreams until you write them down. The act of writing down this future vision of yourself gives it legs, bring it to life, and lets the Universe know you are finally saying, “Yes!”
THOUGHTS
I think we hold on to stories about ourselves. These stories become imprinted on our biology. The endoplasmic reticulum-switchbacks of our cells. They paper themselves in Times New Roman across the fleshiest bits of our lives. We let these stories dictate our movements, keep us confined to a single narrative, and lock into ceiling tile tetris patterns that prevent us from ever seeing the sky.
PLAYLIST
The theme for this weeks deep cuts is Cosmic Cowboy meets Melodic Folk Revival and I hope you enjoy it half as much as I did coming up with the description! Love you guys so much! And I’m so grateful for this family :)
NOW OFFERING
Sober Mentoring
After five years of sobriety, this is what I know to be true:
~ A sober life is an enchanted one ~
My mentoring sessions are a field guide through the wilderness of Wine Mom Culture.
My “first-of-its-kind” approach to sobriety integrates practical tools, creative expression, storytelling, ritual, and intuition-strengthening exercises to create a personalized roadmap to holistic healing: one we can pass down to our children., and them to theirs.
My sessions are applicable to anyone, sober now, sober curious, or sober stuck, who seeks to fall in love with life, again, or for the very first time. It is the formula for enchanted living I wish someone had handed me ten years ago. I might have put down the bottle a whole lot sooner.
