Enchanted Empath

Hey there, wonderful souls! Today, let’s dive into a topic that’s close to our hearts: inner strength and the art of keeping our composure, even when life throws us a curveball. You know, life has this funny way of testing us, pushing us to our limits, and sometimes leaving us feeling like we’re barely hanging on by a thread. But here’s the thing – we’re stronger than we think. Deep within each of us lies a wellspring of resilience and courage, just waiting to be tapped into. So, grab a cozy seat and let’s explore how we can harness that inner strength to navigate life’s ups and downs with grace and ease. Together, we’ll discover the power of staying calm in the midst of chaos and emerge even stronger on the other side. Let’s dive in!

Here we have a serene figure gently taming a fierce lion, not with brute force, but with an aura of calm confidence, much like The Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan.

The Strength card is like a beacon of light guiding us towards our inner reservoirs of resilience, grace and determination.

While The Chariot symbolize outer strength and willpower, Strength whispers to us about something deeper – our inner fortitude and the indomitable human spirit within us all.

The lion represents our triggered egos and knee-jerk reactions to external situations. We all have them – those sneaky little patterns that seem to creep up when we least expect them. Maybe it’s the tendency to micromanage every detail, fueled by the ever-persistent ego whispering in our ear to “win” at any cost. Or perhaps it’s the impatience that gnaws at us when things aren’t moving at the speed of light. Sound familiar?

Here’s the thing: trying to force things to happen with ego and impatience rarely ends well. Trust me, I’ve been there. It’s like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole – exhausting and ultimately futile. But not to worry, we are fully equipped, just like the figure on the Strength card to tame our inner lion with grace and strength.

Strength isn’t just about flexing our muscles or bulldozing through obstacles. It’s about tapping into that quiet power that resides within, knowing that we have the stamina and persistence to weather any storm that comes our way. It’s about facing life’s challenges with a sense of inner calm and patience, trusting in our ability to overcome, and trusting that the process is ultimately working out for us.

“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”

Mahatma Gandhi

The Strength card is a gentle reminder that we are fueled by our own inner strength and personal power. We don’t need to rule by trying to control others; instead, we influence and persuade with quiet confidence. Others might underestimate our power because it’s not flashy or overt, but that’s okay – it’s our secret weapon, allowing us to control situations with grace and subtlety.

If you’re feeling a bit battered and bruised by life’s challenges, take heart! The Strength card is here to remind us that we have what it takes to persevere. You’ve got the grit and determination to see things through to the end, no matter how rough the road may seem… and know that all rough roads eventually come to an end.

So, as we continue on this journey of self-discovery and growth, let’s tap into our inner strength and embrace the challenges that come our way. Remember, you are stronger than you think, and with a little patience and perseverance, you can conquer anything that life throws at you. Keep shining bright, and until next time, stay strong! 🌟

For this exercise you’ll be channeling Cesar Millan. The next time you feel triggered, notice your behavior as it rises up. Are you wanting to curse, scream, or lash out? Catch yourself in the act and interrupt the behavior by shushing yourself. The beauty about shushing yourself is two fold: first you’re redirecting your mind and energy forging new patterns, and second, it’s hilarious to do and you instantly change your vibe from pissed to blissed!

Think back on a recent challenge or obstacle you faced that stirred up feelings of anger, fear or doubt. How did you initially react to this challenge? Did you try to control the situation through force, or did you approach it with patience and inner calm? Knowing what you know now, how might you handle the same situation in the future?

Take a close look at the Strength Tarot card. Now imagine in your minds eye the conversation between the lion and the woman. What’s the feeling between them? Keep in mind they are two aspects of yourself.

“I embrace the power of patience and inner calm, knowing that I can influence situations with quiet confidence.”

Welcome back to our journey through the 22-Day Psychic Cleanse. Today marks a pivotal moment in our quest for spiritual clarity as we delve deep into the sanctuary of solitude.

As we navigate through our modern lives, it’s all too easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of the material world. From the incessant buzz of notifications on our smartphones to the constant barrage of information bombarding us from every direction, it’s no wonder we often find ourselves feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from our true selves.

Today we’re called to retreat from the chaos and noise of the external world and turn inward to find the answers we seek. Just like the wise Hermit in the Tarot deck, we are reminded of the profound wisdom that can only be discovered in moments of quiet introspection.

In a society that glorifies constant productivity and external validation, the idea of spending time alone can seem daunting or even counterintuitive. However, it is precisely in these moments of solitude that we are able to peel back the layers of illusion and access our authentic truth.

Think of it as pressing the pause button on the outside world and tuning into the whispers of your inner being. When we silence the external distractions and allow ourselves to simply be, we create space for profound insights and revelations to emerge.

One of the biggest challenges we face in this digital age is the overwhelming abundance of information at our fingertips. With a few taps on a keyboard, we can access a seemingly endless stream of articles, opinions, and advice on any topic imaginable. While this wealth of knowledge can be empowering, it can also leave us feeling mentally cluttered and spiritually drained.

That’s where the beauty of solitude comes into play. By stepping away from the constant influx of information and immersing ourselves in the stillness of our own company, we give ourselves the opportunity to sift through the noise and discern what truly resonates with our soul.

“In the attitude of silence, the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness.”

mahatma gandhi

So, as we embark on this journey of self-discovery, let’s embrace the solitude that is necessary for our growth and evolution and heed the wisdom of The Hermit, while remembering that all the answers we seek lie within us, waiting to be uncovered in moments of quiet reflection.

Take this day as an invitation to retreat into your own sacred space, whether it be a cozy corner of your home or a peaceful spot in nature. Allow yourself to simply be present with your thoughts and emotions, without judgment or expectation.

As you bask in the gentle embrace of solitude, listen closely to the whispers of your heart. It’s in the stillness that we are able to connect with our authentic truth and rediscover the essence of who we truly are.

Take a moment to reflect on a time when you felt most at peace in solitude. What was the setting like? How did you feel in that moment? What insights or revelations did you gain from spending time alone? Write about your experience and explore how you can incorporate more moments of solitude into your life for self-discovery and inner peace.

With eyes closed, imagine yourself as The Hermit holding the lantern. Now think of a question you have about a person or situation that you’d like more clarity on. Place the lantern in front of you and ask it to reveal the most aligned answer for your wellbeing. What does it reveal to you? Receive the message.

“My inner wisdom speaks loudest in moments of quiet reflection.”

Welcome back! Today marks day 11 and the half-way point of our transformative journey through the 22 Day Psychic Cleanse. Today’s topic is the inevitability of change and the invaluable lesson of remaining flexible like water in life.

Change—it’s a word that can evoke a mix of emotions, from excitement to fear. Yet, one thing is certain: change is constant, like the ebb and flow of the tides or the turning of the seasons. It’s the very essence of life itself, and resisting it is like trying to swim against a powerful current. You’ll only exhaust yourself.

“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”

jon kabat-zinnmeasure

In our quest for spiritual growth, it’s crucial to understand that being too rigid and inflexible can hinder our progress. Picture this: you’re holding onto a person, place or situation for dear life, afraid to let go and flow with the river of change. Meanwhile, the universe is whispering guidance, nudging you towards your true path, but you’re too fixated on control to hear it.

What is your true path? Is it fate or destiny? I would say no. Your true path is comprised of your inner desires and longings. You may have put them on hold for a myriad of reasons, typically rooted in fear, but they persist at the level of spirit… and that’s what you’re broadcasting to the universe and THAT is what the universe is responding to.

I frequently say, “Spirit always wins.” So, if you’re bucking against your true path and blocking the way, spirit will find ways to help you receive your true desires in wanted and unwanted ways. So, it really is essential to proactively embrace change, be flexible like water, and go with the flow.

This is where the wisdom of the Wheel of Fortune card in the Tarot deck comes into play. The Wheel reminds us that life is cyclical, filled with ups and downs, twists and turns. One moment you’re riding high on the crest of good fortune, and the next, you’re plummeting into the depths of despair. But here’s the deal: no matter where you are on the wheel, change is inevitable. It’s how you respond to it that matters.

Think of the Wheel of Fortune as a cosmic compass, guiding us through the ever-changing landscape of our lives. When we remain open and receptive to its guidance, we allow ourselves to flow with the currents of life, rather than fighting against them. It’s about surrendering to the natural rhythm and seasons of life and trusting that everything happens for a reason and that there is a conspiracy happening for your ultimate wellbeing.

But receptivity isn’t just about sitting back and waiting for good fortune to fall into your lap. It’s an active process that requires mindfulness and intention. It’s about tuning in to the subtle whispers of the universe, whether through meditation, prayer, or simply being present in the moment. When we cultivate this receptivity, we create space for miracles to unfold and blessings to abound.

As we continue our journey through the Psychic Cleanse, let’s channel the wisdom of the Wheel of Fortune: embrace change, remain flexible, and stay open to the guidance of the spiritual world. As we do that, we invite good fortune to flow into our lives with ease and grace. And who wouldn’t want a little extra magic in their lives?

Today’s exercise is to welcome change into your life. During the course of your day, do something different in your routine. Try something new for lunch, hit a different coffee shop, take another route home, shop at a new grocery store or try a new workout at the gym. This activity will grease your wheel of fortune and your flexibility!

Reflect on a time when you resisted change. How did it work out? What did you learn from that experience, and how can you approach future challenges with more flexibility?

Eyes closed, visualize a leaf floating down a stream, effortlessly gliding over rocks and around bends. See how it adapts to the twists and turns of the stream, moving with ease and grace.

As you watch the leaf, reflect on the journal prompt: recall that time when you resisted change. Without judgment, explore the emotions and thoughts that arose during that experience.

Now, imagine yourself as the leaf, surrendering to the flow of life and embracing change with an open heart. Trust the current and feel a sense of freedom and liberation as you let go of any resistance and allow yourself to be carried forward by the current.

“I release resistance and welcome the flow of abundance and opportunity into my life.”

Welcome back to the twelfth day of our transformative journey through the 22-Day Psychic Cleanse! Today, we delve into the profound realm of integrity and the art of making decisions that harmonize both our logic and intuition. As we explore these themes, we’ll also confront the critical issue of accountability and its karmic repercussions.

Integrity isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the cornerstone of our spiritual growth and alignment with our higher selves. When we operate from a place of integrity, we’re essentially living in congruence with our values, beliefs, and principles. This alignment not only fosters inner peace but also strengthens our connection to the universe and those around us.

“The moment you accept responsibility for everything in your life is the moment you gain the power to change anything in your life.”

hal elrod

But how do we navigate the complex terrain of decision-making with integrity? This is where the delicate interplay between logic and intuition comes into play. Our logical mind provides us with rational analysis and critical thinking skills, while our intuition taps into our deeper wisdom and gut instincts. When we learn to integrate these two faculties, we achieve a state of balanced discernment—a state where we can make decisions that honor both our intellect and our inner guidance.

However, the path to balanced decision-making is often obstructed by our reluctance to take accountability for our actions. We’ve all been there—the temptation to deflect blame, justify our behaviors, or sweep our mistakes under the rug. But here’s the thing: when we shirk accountability, we’re essentially disrupting the delicate equilibrium of karma.

In the Tarot deck, the Justice card embodies the principles of fairness, honesty, and accountability. It reminds us that every action we take has consequences, and that true justice can only be achieved when we accept responsibility for our choices. When we embrace accountability, we not only right the scales of karma but also pave the way for our own growth and evolution.

So, as we continue our psychic cleanse journey, let’s commit to embodying integrity in every facet of our lives. Let’s strive to make decisions that reflect the harmony of our logic and intuition, and let’s have the courage to take accountability for our actions, knowing that in doing so, we’re fostering a more just and enlightened world.

For today, let’s embrace Don Miguel Ruiz’ first agreement and “be impeccable with your word.” Speak your truth without embellishment or drama. Take a moment and consider your words before speaking them.

Consider any instances where you may have shied away from taking accountability for your actions. What were the consequences of avoiding responsibility, and how could embracing accountability have influenced the outcome differently? How can you integrate the lessons learned into your future decision-making processes?

Imagine that you are the person in the Justice card with a sword in your right hand, scales in your left and a crown on your head. The crown represents your logical mind, while the scales represent your ability to balance your intuition with your logic. The double edged sword reminds you of cause and effect and of your ability to make firm, sound decisions.

Breathe this in and know this is YOU now… fully equipped with everything you need to be make fair, just decisions that align with your truth.

If you have a decision to make today, channel your inner Justice and make it.

“I honor the wisdom of my intuition and the clarity of my logic, making balanced decisions that align with my highest truth.”

Welcome to Day 13 of our transformative journey through the 22-Day Psychic Cleanse! Yesterday, we channeled Justice your ability to make firm, sound decisions using both your intellect and intuitive faculties. Today, we’re delving into a crucial aspect of that process: the art of waiting for intuitive information to come through. It’s a concept that might feel a bit counterintuitive in our fast-paced world, where we’re accustomed to instant answers and constant activity. But trust me, there’s magic in embracing the pause.

“The quieter you become, the more you can hear.”

ram dass

Rushing through life without clarity or a plan from higher guidance can leave us feeling scattered, overwhelmed, and disconnected from our inner knowing. It’s like trying to navigate a dense forest without a map or compass—we might stumble around aimlessly, unsure of which path to take.

That’s where the wisdom of the Hanged Man card in the Tarot deck comes in. Picture this: a figure suspended upside-down, calmly observing the world from a different perspective. Notice the glowing halo of light around his head. It’s like a beacon of new insights, awareness, and enlightenment, just waiting to blossom and grow!

This card embodies patience, faith, and serenity—the qualities we need to cultivate as we wait for clarity to emerge.

Patience is about trusting that the answers we seek will reveal themselves in their own time. It’s about surrendering the urge to force things to happen and instead allowing the universe to unfold as it should. Think of it as planting seeds in a garden and trusting that with time, sunlight, and water, they will eventually blossom into beautiful flowers.

Faith is about believing in something greater than ourselves—a higher power, the universe, or simply the wisdom of our own intuition. It’s about having confidence that we are being guided and supported, even when the path ahead seems uncertain. When we have faith, we can navigate the twists and turns of life with a sense of inner peace and assurance.

Serenity is about finding calm amidst the chaos. It’s about quieting the chatter of the mind, letting go of worries and doubts, and sinking into a state of deep relaxation and receptivity. When we cultivate serenity, we create space for intuitive insights to bubble up from the depths of our being, like messages from our soul to our conscious mind.

I often tell my clients to be still until they receive that intuitive a-ha moment… that moment of pure clarity that hits you when you’ve stopped analyzing and come into a place of receptivity. It’s when you’re washing dishes, taking a shower, reading a good book, watering your lawn, or just resting when the answers and information flow to you. It’s then and only then that you move your feet. That’s when you’re free to take aligned action, and that feels so much more stable and sure-footed!

So, my friends, as we journey through Day 13 of the psychic cleanse, let’s remember to embrace the pause. Let’s take a deep breath, release the need to rush or control, and trust that the clarity we seek will come when the time is right. Remember, it’s not about doing more, but about surrendering into the stillness and allowing ourselves to be guided by the wisdom that resides within.

Hopefully, you’ll like today’s exercise! It is simply to take a time out. For some people this is easier said than done, but for others it’s an easy, “Yes, please!” So, today take 10! Make it 20 minutes if you have it. Do a whole lot of nothing. Nap, rest, gaze or meditate if that’s easy for you. Let your mind and body come into a state of rest and receptivity.

Reflect on a time when you consciously chose to embrace patience and surrender control in a situation where clarity seemed elusive. What lessons did you learn from this experience? How did it impact your journey of self-discovery and intuitive growth?

Imagine yourself as the Hanged Man. Cultivate feelings of trust and support as the universe holds you safely in place as you take a break from doing and just be. Allow yourself to feel that you are safe and that every answer you seek is readily available to you when you’re ready to receive.

“I trust in the timing of the universe, knowing that clarity will come when the time is right.”

Until tomorrow, may you find peace in the waiting, strength in the surrender, and joy in the journey.

Welcome back to the 22-Day Psychic Cleanse, where we embark on a journey through the mystical realms of the Tarot and beyond. Today, we’re delving into the potent energies of transformation and closure, guided by the profound symbolism of the Death card. Often feared and misunderstood, this card is actually one of the most positive and enlightening in the deck.

After our introspective pause with The Hanged Man, we now encounter Death, signaling the end of a significant chapter in our lives. But fear not. Death is not a bringer of doom but rather a messenger of freedom, rebirth and renewal.

“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free.”

thick nhat hanh

In the Tarot, Death represents the closing of one door to make way for another, the shedding of old skin to reveal the radiant essence beneath. It’s a cosmic call to release what no longer serves us, to bid farewell to outdated beliefs, relationships, resentments, or bad habits that weigh us down.

But let’s face it – letting go isn’t always easy. We humans have a knack for clinging to the familiar, even when it’s clear that it’s time to move on. The problem of holding onto the past can manifest in various ways – clinging to past hurts, staying in stagnant situations out of fear of the unknown, or simply resisting change because it’s uncomfortable.

Yet, the Death card teaches us that in order to grow, we must first let go. Like the phoenix rising from the ashes, we can only experience true transformation once we release our grip on the past. It’s about surrendering to the natural cycle of life, trusting that what lies ahead is infinitely more beautiful and fulfilling than what we leave behind.

Resistance to this necessary ending can lead to pain – both emotional and physical. Just as a tree must shed its old leaves to make way for new growth, we too must shed our attachments to the past to embrace the fullness of our potential.

But here’s the beautiful paradox – in the midst of death, there is life. The universal vacuum law states that in the space created by letting go, we invite new opportunities, relationships, and experiences to blossom. By exercising our imagination and visualizing a new possibility, we pave the way for constructive patterns to emerge, guiding us towards our highest good.

I remember watching “The Shift,” a docudrama by Wayne Dyer. It begins with him saying, “At the morning what was true, in the evening will become a lie.” What resonates with me about this quote is the subtle notion that what once worked for us served its purpose, but may not do so anymore. There’s no need for regret; instead, we simply acknowledge our evolution and recognize the need to adapt mentally and spiritually as a consequence.

So, as we journey through Day 14 of our psychic cleanse, let’s embrace the transformative power of Death. Let’s honor the endings in our lives as sacred rites of passage, knowing that each goodbye opens the door to a brighter, more expansive future.

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”

Semisonic

Remember that just as the caterpillar must dissolve into goo before emerging as a beautiful butterfly, so too must we surrender to the process of transformation. Trust in the wisdom of the universe, and know that every ending carries within it the seeds of new beginnings.

Look around your present environment to notice what’s old, toxic, wasteful, expired, or just annoying. What’s filling your space and perhaps blocking anything new? Do you have stuff in your space that triggers you? Schedule a bit of time today and clear this stuff away. File, organize, put a donation box together and/or toss the trash out.

Reflect on a significant event or aspect of your life that you feel has come to an end or no longer serves you. Go into the feeling place and describe how holding onto the past in this regard has impacted you.

Then, explore what it would look like to fully let go and embrace the freedom that comes with releasing attachments. Imagine what new opportunities or growth might emerge from this act of closure and transformation. Where are you now?

“I release the past with love and gratitude, knowing that its lessons have shaped me but no longer define me.”

Welcome back to our journey through the 22-day psychic cleanse. Today marks a pivotal moment as we delve into the essence of equilibrium, grounded in our humanity yet flowing with the grace of our divinity. So grab your metaphorical wands, because we’re about to embark on a journey of moderation and alchemy.

As we traverse through the labyrinth of our consciousness, it’s easy to get caught up in the currents of extremes. We might find ourselves swaying from one end of the spectrum to the other, losing sight of the delicate balance that lies in between. Today’s lesson is all about temperance, both in our actions and in our perspectives.

In the realm of spirituality, it’s not uncommon to encounter individuals who zealously cling to one ideology or belief system, dismissing all others as irrelevant or inferior. But here’s the thing: when we become too rigid in our convictions, we close ourselves off to the vast tapestry of human experience. Just like the Temperance card in the Tarot encourages us to find harmony through blending opposing forces, so too must we attempt to integrate all facets of our being.

Temperance gently nudges you to tread the middle path, inviting you to embrace all perspectives with an open heart and an open mind. Now, more than ever, it’s crucial to set aside the allure of extreme opinions and controversial stances. Instead, channel your inner peacekeeper and adopt a balanced and moderate approach, steering clear of any polarizing extremes.

Consider the image of the Temperance card: an angelic figure pouring water from one vessel to another, seamlessly blending the elements of fire and water. This symbolizes the art of alchemy, the transformative process of turning lead into gold. In our own lives, we are called to become alchemists of the soul, transmuting our inner conflicts into opportunities for transcendence.

Being a moderate alchemist doesn’t mean watering down our convictions or relinquishing our principles. Instead, it invites us to approach life with an open heart and an open mind, embracing the richness of diversity and the multiplicity of perspectives. After all, it’s through the interplay of light and shadow that we discover the true depth of our souls.

Now, let’s talk about the dangers of being too extreme or opinionated. When we dig our heels into the ground of dogma, we risk alienating ourselves from the collective wisdom of humanity. We miss out on valuable opportunities for growth and evolution, trapped in the echo chamber of our own making. But when we loosen our grip on certainty and embrace the fluidity of uncertainty, we open ourselves up to endless possibilities and endless growth.

“Life is a balance of holding on and letting go.”

rumi

In your journey towards equilibrium, remember to inclusively incorporate others and unite diverse groups of people. By fostering harmony and cooperation, you’ll tap into the collective alchemy of humanity. Temperance teaches us the art of blending, mixing, and combining diverse elements. It’s through this process that we unlock the potential for something entirely new and inherently valuable, transcending the limitations of our individual perspectives.

As we continue on our journey of self-discovery and enlightenment, let’s remember the wisdom of Temperance… finding balance in all things, grounded in our humanity and flowing with the divine currents of the universe. Let’s embrace the beauty of moderation, for it is in the delicate dance between extremes that we find our truest selves.

Today is a good day to practice active listening. Be mindful of the give and take of dialogue. Are you waiting to speak or listening to understand? Attempt to strike a balance in your conversations today.

What did you learn about yourself in today’s cleansing exercise? Were you already aware of your conversational patterns with people or did you discover new aspects of yourself? Are you typically a good listener? What challenges, if any, did you experience during this exercise?

Think of a situation where you had an all or nothing approach, for example being torn between working a regular job and running your own business or any situation where you were stuck between a “this or that” decision. Now see yourself as the angel in the Temperance card. You have one foot in the water (intuition) and one foot on the land (logic) and you’re blending the two things to create something new… and it’s working! You soon realize that there’s enough space for both things to exist simultaneously.

“I honor the interconnectedness of my humanity and divinity, finding balance in the integration of both aspects of myself.”

Until tomorrow, may you find peace in the waiting, strength in the surrender, and joy in the journey.

Welcome back to day 16 of the 22-Day Psychic Cleanse! As we venture deeper into the Hero’s Journey, today we’re delving into the realm of dependencies and addictions, shining a light on these often shadowy corners of our lives before they cast a long shadow over our spiritual growth.

Picture this: you’re navigating life’s winding roads, and suddenly you find yourself at a crossroads. You notice that little voice inside your head urging you to indulge in that one habit, that one substance, or perhaps even that one person who seems to offer solace from life’s challenges. But wait, before you take that detour, let’s hit the brakes and take a closer look at what’s really going on.

Enter the Devil card in the Tarot. Now, before you panic, let’s demystify this infamous card. In Tarot, the Devil doesn’t represent some external evil force out to get you. Instead, it symbolizes the chains we willingly bind ourselves with – those habits, dependencies, materialism, and addictions that keep us shackled, preventing us from reaching our fullest potential.

One common manifestation of these chains is found in codependent relationships. You know the type – where you lose yourself in trying to fix, rescue, or please someone else, often at the expense of your own well-being. It’s like being tangled in a web of toxic energy, where boundaries blur, and self-care takes a backseat.

But here’s the thing: awareness is our greatest ally in breaking free from these chains. By shining a light on our dependencies and addictions, we reclaim our power to choose differently. It’s about acknowledging that while these habits may offer temporary relief, they ultimately hinder our spiritual growth and block our path to true fulfillment.

Observing The Devil card, the couple in chains can simply (maybe not easily) remove the loose chains that are around their necks and start to reverse their animalistic tendencies and raw instincts before completely crossing over to the dark side. Notice their budding horns and beastly tails. They can continue feeding their shadow selves by over-indulging in worldly pleasures, or they can break free.

When The Devil shows up in a reading for a client, my first question is, “How is your spiritual life?” Because I know that it’s out of balance and can use some attention.

“Addiction begins with the hope that something ‘out there’ can instantly fill up the emptiness inside.”

Eckhart tolle

Think about it like this: every time we succumb to our addictions, we’re feeding the beast within. We’re perpetuating a cycle of spiritual erosion, where our inner light dims a little more with each indulgence. But fear not, for every chain that binds us also holds the key to our liberation.

So, how do we break free? It starts with a willingness to face our shadows head-on, to confront the underlying fears and insecurities that drive our addictive behaviors. It’s about seeking support, whether through therapy, support groups, or trusted friends who can walk alongside us on this journey of self-discovery.

And as we gradually loosen the grip of our dependencies, we create space for something greater to emerge – a newfound sense of inner strength, resilience, and self-love. We reclaim our sovereignty, standing tall as the architects of our own destiny.

So, as we continue our journey through the 22-Day Psychic Cleanse, let’s embrace the wisdom of The Devil card. Let’s honor the shadows as integral parts of ourselves, knowing that it’s through acknowledging and transcending them that we step into the fullness of our being.

Remember, you are not defined by your dependencies or addictions. You are a radiant soul, capable of transcending any obstacle in your path.

Are there things in your house, cupboards, fridge, or secret stashes that keep an addiction or dependency alive and stocked? If so, remove those items. As you do that, you lessen the temptation. My rule of thumb is NOT to keep those things in my house. Then when a craving hits, you’ll have to make an effort to go out and get them, which places your awareness on your behavior and the opportunity to do something else.

Reflect on a habit or dependency that you feel may be hindering your spiritual growth. Write about how this habit makes you feel and the ways in which it may be impacting your life. Then, explore the underlying fears or insecurities that might be driving this behavior. Finally, consider one small step you can take today to begin breaking free from this pattern and reclaiming your power.

See yourself addiction free or free from a co-dependent relationship. Imagine how you look and how you feel. What’s different? What’s going on around you?

“I trust in my ability to confront my shadows with courage and compassion, knowing that true freedom awaits on the other side.”

Shine on, my friends, and may your journey be guided by the light of your own inner truth.

Welcome back to the 22 Day Psychic Cleanse. Today, we’re diving deep into the turbulent waters of universal wake-up calls, where chaos reigns supreme, and change is the only constant. Buckle up, because Day 17 is all about confronting The Tower card in the Tarot and understanding the importance of stable foundations in our lives.

As the Hero’s Journey continues, we inevitably find ourselves in the thick of turbulent forces that bring us to our knees, especially if we ignore the budding issues brought forth in The Devil card. Today’s lesson is not to frighten you, but to acknowledge that our human condition is a tapestry of light and shadow, growth and challenge. It’s through facing these challenges head-on that we discover our true strength and resilience.

Just like the hero of a grand adventure (think Luke Skywalker or Dorothy of Oz), we must confront our inner demons and navigate the treacherous terrain of change. It’s in these moments of chaos and destruction that we have the opportunity to rise, to shed our old skin, and emerge stronger and wiser than before.

First things first, let’s talk about The Tower card. For those unfamiliar, it’s depicted as a tall tower struck by lightning, with people falling from its heights. It’s a powerful symbol of sudden upheaval, destruction of old structures, and the need to rebuild from the ground up. Sounds intense, right? But fear not, because The Tower brings with it the promise of renewal and growth, albeit through turbulent means.

Now, let’s zoom out and look at the bigger picture. Universal wake-up calls are like cosmic alarms reminding us that change is not only inevitable but necessary for our personal and collective evolution. These wake-up calls can manifest in various forms – from major life events like loss, upheaval, or unexpected challenges to global crises that shake the very foundations of society.

Just when you think you’re safe and comfortable, a Tower moment hits and throws you for a loop. A lightning bolt of clarity and insight cuts through the lies and illusions you have been telling yourself, and now the truth comes to light. It may be a divorce, the death of a loved one, financial failure, health problems, a natural disaster, job loss, or any event that shakes you to your core, affecting you spiritually, mentally, and physically. There’s no escaping it. Change is here to break things up and rearrange them (but trust me, it’s for your Highest Good).

I often remind my clients that when The Tower shows up in their readings, it’s like the universe is shaking their tree, clearing out all the nuts that are in the way and blocking growth and progress. It’s a necessary upheaval, a cosmic wake-up call that propels us forward on our journey of self-discovery and evolution.

Sure, it can be unsettling to watch everything we’ve built come crashing down around us. But trust me, it has to happen. Just like a gardener prunes a plant to encourage new growth, the universe shakes things up to remove what no longer serves us, making room for fresh opportunities and experiences that need to happen to fulfill your innermost dreams and desires. See, the universe is responding to the deeper part of you and knows the best path to get you where you really want to be.

Here’s the thing: when we build our lives on unstable or ambiguous foundations, we’re setting ourselves up for a Tower moment. Just like a poorly constructed tower, our lives can come crashing down when faced with the storms of life. Whether it’s neglecting our mental and emotional well-being, ignoring warning signs in relationships, taking shortcuts, or prioritizing material gain over spiritual growth, as yesterday’s Devil card demonstrated, shaky foundations leave us vulnerable to collapse.

The best way forward is to let this structure self-destruct so you can rebuild and re-focus. And let’s be real – with a card like The Tower, you have no choice but to surrender to the destruction and chaos, no matter how unwanted or painful. Change on this deep level is hard, but you need to trust that life is happening FOR you, not TO you, and this is all for a reason. This destruction will allow new growth to emerge, and your soul can evolve.

“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”

alan watts

So, what’s the solution? It’s all about cultivating resilience and embracing change as an opportunity for growth. Instead of resisting the chaos, we can choose to flow with it, trusting that it’s clearing the path for something greater to emerge. This doesn’t mean passively accepting whatever life throws at us, but rather actively engaging with the process of transformation.

One way to do this is by anchoring ourselves in stable foundations – values, principles, and practices that ground us amidst the storms, and most of all, having a clear vision for our lives so the responsive universe delivers with clarity instead of ambiguity. Whether it’s meditation, mindfulness, spiritual beliefs, or supportive relationships, these anchors provide stability and guidance when the world around us seems to be crumbling.

Moreover, the Tower reminds us of the impermanence of material wealth and superficial success. True abundance does not lie in external possessions but in the richness of our inner world – love, joy, connection, and purpose. By shifting our focus from the fleeting to the eternal, we can weather any storm with grace and resilience.

So, as we navigate Day 17 of our psychic cleanse, let’s embrace the chaos as a catalyst for growth, rebuild our lives on solid foundations, and welcome the transformative power of The Tower. Remember, in the midst of destruction lie the seeds of rebirth. And when we get to the other side of the chaos intact, we can understand that just like Dorothy, we had the power all along.

Tomorrow morning, upon waking up, instead of bolting out of bed and stumbling headfirst into the day, take 5 minutes to center yourself. You can do this sitting up in bed. Greet the morning, check in with yourself, and imagine how you’d like to experience the day. Notice I didn’t say how you think the day will go, but rather how you’d like to experience the day. Pave the way and roll out the red carpet before setting foot on the ground.

Once centered, stand tall, give it a stretch, and walk firmly into your day.

Think back to a time in your life when you experienced a significant upheaval or unexpected change – a “Tower moment.” It could be a personal crisis, a major life transition, or a challenging situation that forced you to confront uncomfortable truths.

Imagine yourself as the hero of your own journey, navigating the twists and turns of your life’s adventures. Watch these events as if you’re watching a movie, and you’re the star of the show – the hero who surmounted it all.

“I trust in the process of life, knowing that every upheaval is an opportunity for me and not against me.”

Keep shining bright and may your journey be filled with wisdom, courage, and boundless love!

Welcome to day 18 of the 22 day Psychic Cleanse. Today feels like a warm embrace after a wild storm, a gentle reminder that hope follows despair. If you’ve been weathering storms lately, take solace, for today brings a much-needed reprieve.

Picture yourself as a phoenix rising from the ashes. You’ve faced challenges head-on, shed layers of limiting beliefs, and emerged stronger and more radiant than ever. Through it all, you’ve discovered the core of who you truly are, beyond the illusions.

Today, let’s tap into the energy of The Star card in the Tarot. Imagine a serene figure kneeling by a pool of water, pouring two vessels. One vessel pours into the pool, nourishing the earth, while the other pours onto the ground, symbolizing renewal and replenishment. This card is like a beacon of hope, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, there’s always a guiding light.

Much like The Star, you are a conduit of divine energy. You’re connected to the universe in profound ways, even if you don’t fully grasp it yet. Through the ups and downs, you’ve clung to that connection, anchoring yourself in pure, loving energy.

But here’s the beautiful twist: in discovering your true essence, you’ve also uncovered your power. You realize that regardless of what life throws your way, you possess the strength and resilience to overcome it. You’ve peeled away the layers of doubt and insecurity, standing tall in your authenticity.

So, as you soak in the glow of today’s respite, take a moment to honor the journey you’ve traversed. Celebrate the bravery it took to confront your shadows and the insights you’ve gathered along the path. Understand that you’re a radiant star amidst the cosmos, spreading love and light wherever you tread. It’s truly your time to shine!

And remember, amidst the vast expanse of the night sky, the stars offer us guidance. They twinkle with wisdom and spiritual insight, ready to illuminate our path if we only pause to listen.

“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.”

emily dickinson

Today is a perfect opportunity to reach out to your spirit guides. Say a warm hello and express your gratitude with a note or a small gift. It could be anything from flowers to a candle, or even your favorite fruit. Show them your appreciation for their guidance and collaboration on your journey.

Reflect on a time when you felt a strong connection to your inner guidance or spiritual intuition. What signs or messages did you receive? How did you honor and nurture this connection? Write about any insights or revelations that arose from this experience, and consider how you can continue to cultivate and deepen your spiritual connection moving forward.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Imagine yourself standing in a lush, serene garden surrounded by vibrant flowers and tall, swaying trees. Feel the gentle warmth of the sun on your skin and the soft breeze brushing against your face.

As you walk through the garden, you notice a sparkling pool of water ahead. Approach it with curiosity and ease. Gazing into the clear, reflective surface, you see your own reflection shimmering back at you, filled with light and radiance.

Now, imagine reaching out your hand and dipping it into the water. As you do, you feel a gentle tingling sensation, a connection to the energy of the universe. With each ripple that dances across the surface, you sense the presence of your spirit guides surrounding you, offering their love and support.

Take a moment to express your gratitude to these guides. Speak to them from your heart or silently in your mind. Feel their presence enveloping you like a warm embrace, filling you with a sense of peace and empowerment.

Now, visualize leaving a small token of appreciation by the pool—a flower, a candle, or any symbol that holds meaning for you. As you offer this gift, feel a deep sense of connection and collaboration with your guides, knowing that they are always there to guide and support you on your journey.

Take a few more deep breaths, soaking in the energy of this sacred space. When you’re ready, gently open your eyes, carrying the sense of peace and connection with you as you continue your day.

“I have unwavering faith in myself and the universe to guide me on my path.”
