Balance

There seems to be so much going on in the world today… conflict, power struggles, uncertainty of the future, rising cost of living, housing shortages, extreme weather events, and the list goes on.

Even if you don’t watch the nightly news, its contents still manage to reach your ears one way or another.

Fear has been utilised for thousands of years by those in power as a tool of power and manipulation in order to further their position of power and guide the populace they lead toward the direction that furthered their cause.

In todays world where information is available everywhere, every minute of the day, the resources available to those who wish to manipulate are vast.

With all of this ready information we should be considered one of the most educated populaces in history, instead stress levels are at an all time high.

The balance between love and fear is out of kilter, and the more we are fed or place our focus upon fear, the more out of balance we become and the more we forget who we are and the innate power we contain as a being, as a society, as a population.

The more we buy into the energy of fear, the more disempowered we become and the more easily we are led down a path that is not truly of our choosing.

Self empowered individuals generally enjoy reduced stress and anxiety levels, which positively impacts mental and physical well-being; self-confidence, self-esteem and resilience grow; meaningful goals are able to be set and our sense of purpose grows; communication improves and healthy personal boundaries are not only a thing you are told about, you embrace and embody them, improving personal relationships.

As a society these things matter. 

A self-empowered community uplift and support each other, creating and nurturing networks of assistance and growth, advocating each others rights and challenging unjust systems, rather than having angry individuals exploding in frustration at not being seen, heard or supported.  Self empowerment fosters self-reliance, helping people to make informed decisions about their lives, reducing dependency upon social services and  habits of escapism.

Self-empowerment takes us from a surviving mentality to one of thriving, and this helps to generate innovation and positive growth for not only individuals but entire communities, and this brings positive change for all of us.

Can you imagine living in a world where fear is not the governing energy?

Where love and support, encouragement and nurturing are the norm, not the odd experience?

The good news is it begins with you and you can start today. 

You may already have begun your journey and I am so excited for you!

The learning, the understanding, the peeling back of layers as you rediscover who you are, what you truly desire and discover the not only the life you want to lead but formulating a sound plan with actionable steps to get there is exciting, enlightening, sometimes a little scary, at others a frustrating, but ultimately so very worth it.

As a tarot reader who quite often puts herself in the public arena, I am used to people being either excited or nervous to see me, or rather my cards and I believe this is because the tarot cards are honest. 

They don’t sugar coat where you have been, where you are currently, or where you are going according to your current trajectory.

But they will also show you where you can make adjustments to return you to your place of power, or rather, empowerment.

Ultimately you are the authority in your own life.  You get to choose your thoughts, your responses, your actions.

If you continue to trundle along on auto pilot, not paying attention to where you are going or who or what is giving your auto pilot its instructions, you cannot really blame anyone else for where you end up.

But if you pay attention to the thoughts that govern your actions, if you delve into your subconscious that influences your thoughts and thought patterns, then you can take back control of the wheel of your life.

Yes, stuff will still happen, that is life.  It is full of ups and downs, but how you respond will govern the colour theme of the picture of your experience.

Tarot offers us insight and guidance into us, the energy we hold and the energy we allow to influence us externally.

With the clarity gained from the cards, you can move from fear into love.

Tarot can act as a lighthouse, illuminating the wisdom you already contain within you and act as a beacon along the path to your sovereignty.

Tarot can be your personal assistant in helping you on your journey to self-empowerment and healing.

And healed people?  They heal people.

Hurt people, hurt people.

The choice my friend, is always yours x
