The Leftover Pieces; Suicide Loss Conversations

Oracle Cards; My Grief inside Woo-ville


Listen Later

Today I dive (deep) into 'the rabbit hole' ... I let you into my mind to explore why (& how) I use Oracle cards! Yep -- I said it - Oracle Cards!!!  Many people refer to crystals, Reiki, tarot, oracle ... or really anything in the metaphysical, alternative based thinking or practices as "woo-woo". I personally have always been a science and fact seeking person so it may seem strange that I can reside so comfortably in what I call "Wooville", but I do. Come along and I will give you a glimpse as to (just one reason) why! 

Many people perceive Oracle (& Tarot) as a fortune teller-y type of 'thing' ... I was one of those people once too.  They are NOT that at all that.  They ARE tools of divination used (by anyone) to help show us what we already know deep down ... they are a tool for our subconscious and help us to 'dig deeper' (you know, to get out of our logical minds way if you will!) and you know if you listen to me at all that I am big on all of these concepts that lend themselves to forward thinking and the power of the subconscious mind in our healing-and- thriving-alongside-grief journey!  I am glad you joined me today!!

As with everything you hear on my podcasts, please take that which serves you & leave the rest. I hope you will find something of value & I am so sorry that you need to be here, but so honored you are here. Talk soon!

Because I said I would ...

Here is the LINK to the Alice in Wonderland Oracle that I referenced today on Amazon

PLUS .... the Sacred Rebels Deck

AND ... the Queen of the Moon Oracle

They type of decks are endless. Let me know if you have any questions ... or would like an intuitive card pull from me! :)

ALSO, please reach out to me if you know of someone that I should talk to or if you yourself would like to have a conversation around the suicide loss and grief space. Instagram is probably still the best way to contact me or directly through email. I am already scheduling people into this Spring so it's not too soon to reach out!

Let's have a conversation  Let's keep talking   Let's be there for each other.  Let's make a change.
TALK SOON!
