𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟭

This episode is about the first of twelve weeks in the course and book The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. 

I completed my morning pages every day this week and even wrote more than three pages a couple of times. My artist date was simple - baking cookies and watching a Christmas movie - but I did it!

In this chapter, there is a lot of talk about negative core beliefs. These are a result of societal and personal conditioning around creativity. You may feel like your aren't good enough to be an artist (whatever creative title you wish to hold), that you won't be successful, that you would become a burden to others or any number of beliefs that come from external sources.

These become your inner "censor" that shows up to belittle you or discourage you when you try to think positively about your abilities. Like the ego, the censor is trying to keep you in your comfort zone because the unknown seems unsafe. The mean phrases that come up the most are your "blurts" and you should write these down! You can then create affirmations to counteract them.

The exercises that I talked about for Week 1 are:

• Time Travel: List 3 people that discouraged you that should be in your Monster Hall of Fame

As I said last week, I like to think of this book as the artist's shadow work since it looks at aspects of yourself that have been ignored. I suggest getting a copy if you can but either way, you can follow along and do some of the weekly exercises!

This episode is an introduction to a book called The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. 

I will be doing a 12 week series to share the wisdom of each week's chapter and my own experiences with the themes and exercises.

I have gone through this book twice fully and have been meaning to complete the course again. It has been on my mind to do an episode on it for awhile and it came up during my Card Pull Friday leading up to the full moon in Pisces. This makes a lot of sense since emotional wounds, intuition and creativity are all associated with this sign and the book!

In this episode, I talked about "morning pages" which is the author's daily activity that involves hand writing three stream of consciousness pages each day to clear your mind of clutter (something that is aligned with last week's episode!) The other regular activity is taking yourself on "artist dates" to do something that feeds your inner artist.

I like to think of this book as the artist's shadow work as it digs in to some deep wounds and opens up new beliefs and trust. I suggest getting a copy if you can but either way, you can follow along and do some of the weekly exercises!

This episode is all about decluttering in all areas of life! I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I have been giving away and getting rid of a lot of my old things in the past couple of months and doing a "spring" cleaning (I feel like I hibernated all summer)!

Clutter comes in many forms, from thoughts, digital photos, emails, commitments and more. I talked in the episode about how clutter can reflect a scarcity or lack mindset and show up as hoarding. We feel the need to hang onto thoughts, things and even photos on our phone that we never look at. It is so hard to let things flow through us.

Clearing our minds, energy fields and spaces makes room for us to receive the abundance and downloads we are calling in!

In this episode, I decided to do an oracle card forecast! 

For this reading, I used the Light Seers Tarot deck to pull five cards. I feel like this is meant as a forecast for September. The messages were around heart-centered work and taking new actions to move forward. 

Let me know if you enjoyed this type of episode!

In today's episode, I decided to give some insights into how I approach reading for myself. Reading for ourselves can be tricky since we have a VERY personal interest in the outcome and messages attached to the cards. I read for myself every day, so I see patterns and context a lot easier than I used to!

I talked about the differences I feel reading for myself and others. I trust the messages a lot more when I read for others because it feels more channeled, while I feel my ego stepping in when I pull cards for myself! I gave some examples of cards and patterns I've been seeing in my morning readings and also some strategies I use to get a more complete message from each card.

I use the guide books when reading for myself because there are often meanings that I would otherwise miss. Although I don't do this for my clients, I'll still pull out the books when I do a reading for someone I know really well because I want the best for them too!

In this episode, I had a great conversation with Jenny Miller about breathwork and conscious relationships! 

Jenny talked about how breathwork can help us to be more conscious and how this affects our relationship with ourselves and others. We talked about what makes a conscious relationship including communication, awareness and authenticity. Jenny shared how this shows up in new relationships as well as our more well-established bonds.

Jenny gave us a walkthrough of what to expect when we book a Relationship Reading or Signature session with her in this episode. She talked about how she reads from your energy to discover what is holding you back! I loved hearing Jenny’s spirit crumbs and the signs from her dog in Spirit she shared as well!

In this episode, I talk about what I've learned over the years about choosing the right reader or healer for you. I was introduced to this world by going in person to psychic expos and walking around to feel drawn to someone, but that isn't the case for most people who are curious and looking for support - especially now!

Using your own intuition is the best way to decide who is right for you. I truly believe that any reading or healing you seek out is just a tool you are using to heal yourself and initiate growth. There are lots of ways to discern which healers, readers and coaches are a match for you and I've shared what I consider when I'm looking for support.

For episode 44, I was inspired to choose something more magical to share! I decided to talk about some of the spirit crumbs that have come up for me. It's been awhile since I really got back to the core of Spirit Crumbs - synchronicity!

I have been receiving spirit crumbs in the form of songs, feathers, cars, poems, posts and having people mention what I am considering doing next on my path. There are so many ways to receive them, but what is the most magical thing about spirit crumbs is HOW they come to you!

I also talk about feeling called to do my spiritual work full-time in the not too distant future. This is something that I've had in my vision for awhile now and I am receiving more and more signs that the gap is closing.

In this Episode, I started by talking about the Lions Gate Portal and New Moon in Leo that just overlapped this Sunday, August 8. I love these energetic events and I explained that although they are potent opportunities for individual transformation, I prefer to offer group events to emphasize how we are all connected. Our heart chakra is a portal for connection and I feel like that was really strong during my Energetic Upgrade session that night!

I ended up talking about shadow work which is in my energy now as I am teaching a workshop on Chakra Shadow Work in the Initiation Circle today!

The book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz came into my awareness quite awhile ago, but I didn't read it until a couple of months ago. I was looking through the spiritual books available at my local library and it caught my eye. Then, it sat on my shelf until I heard it referenced in TWO podcast episodes in a row! 

After reading it, I found that it kept working its way into conversations and it felt like something I should share with you! It is a straightforward book that is more of a life philosophy than a spiritual book in many ways. There is a sequel, the Fifth Agreement, so I included all five in this episode!

I truly feel that now is the time for this book to come into my awareness and for all of us to be mindful of these principles. I really didn't relate it to shadow work until today, but I think we are all going to be facing a lot of that energy in the coming months!

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁 & 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲

I followed a spirit crumb to share some downloads and insights that came to me from the cards I pulled yesterday morning (8/2) that really resonated with me.

I've been getting a lot of messages to slow down and rest, and to celebrate my accomplishments. I did allow myself some time to take in my recent graduation, but really only a day or two. And yet, I've been constantly learning and creating for the past couple of months without really taking a break!

I pulled the 21 World card from the Light Seers Tarot and 21 The Universe from the Psychic Tarot deck and knew that my guides were trying to emphasize the messages. Resting is HOW I can receive. The universe knows how hard I've been working and I need to learn that I am worthy to receive abundance and joy while I take a break.

The 2 is feminine and the 1 is masculine, so the receiving has to happen before I can start taking action on something new again. I even have the 2 Receptive Power from my Visionary I Ching deck card sitting on my desk as a reminder!

I shared about how I have always been more vague about what I want in order to avoid disappointment or to avoid seeming selfish or greedy. This doesn't work when we are calling in our desires! 

I hope that you are taking the time to rest and receive!
