Identity crisis of a tarot yogi

1/29/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
Oh, the identity our mind creates!
It's in every spiritual book, the question of all questions, "Who are you?"
They aren't asking us what we do, what our name is, or even who we think we are. Rather, who we really are. Now, that's a whole of mystical higher consciousness conversation for another time. Right now, I'm interested in the "who we think we are" gist.
Backstory: I had dreadlocks. Long, beautiful, unique, distinguishing dreadlocks... that happened to be really damn heavy and give my head/neck aches. So, away they went. I'm a practical person after all (and one that believes in residual energy).
Cue quarter-life identity crisis! Who am I?!
​I blend into Durham now, my ice-breaker is gone, my hippie kudos- out the window. Who did I think I was? Why did I feel like these dreads gave me superpowers? Why did I feel the need to hide behind them? Much less, what were those tomboy fears growing up again? Oh right, that'd I'd be mistaken as a male forever.

Who am I? Right then, I was a dread-less and confused lady, finalizing a divorce that seemed to rip my world in two and leading me into being an adult and mother on my own for the first time.
The cherry on top? My passion is to share what wisdom and practice I have stumbled upon in this life through tarot and yoga. To be a source of safe sacred space for people to re-find themselves, reclaim and cleanse their energy, and focus on ways to live their best lives.
Fast forward a couple months, I'm still a little confused, still dread-less, still divorcing, still being a single mom, still sharing my passions with the world, but I've also come to a new conclusion that I've logically known all long.
*I am ever-changing, ever-growing, always whole, and always my best self.* The messier the better. That's how we really grow.  Even through all the spiritual journeying and reading and practices, I still got caught up in the unconscious beliefs that I AM this physical appearance and momentary emotions I am feeling, but my gracious, I am so much more complex than that.
Yoga keeps me in touch with my body and mind, the feels, and the balance.
Tarot clarifies, refines, and directly points to areas of myself that feel lovely and deserve celebration or right where I need healing. 

So, who I am? Even if I told you right now, it would be inaccurate by tomorrow. Even if I tried to consciously perceive my connection to all of life and the universe, words wouldn't do it justice. 
Instead, I am doing my best to honor the process, show up authentically, and share all I can. 
 

Thank you for listening.
:)

New Year & Cancer Full Moon!

1/1/2018

Yes, yes, yes.
I hope you're loving this arrangement as much as I am.
2017 was... challenging... to say the least, for most of us. Personally, it kicked my ass. There were beautiful parts and intense growth making it well worth it, but holy shit!!! I'm exhausted and excited and doing my best to let it go.
Fortunately, we are now offered the deepest freshest new beginning of a year.
2018!

It would be nice to think that this is a rainbows and glitter kind of kick off, but the reality is, when we go deep, we go hard. Here is the difference between living this new year in a new more authentic way. Our habits, beliefs and energy of 2017 are now out-dated. We're new and different every moment. A certain death and rebirth takes place for us to truly step into something new. This rebirth could take an intense level of self-realization, self-trust and self-control not to revert back.
So for this pull today, I have a story that puts it all into perspective.

Story time: I once had an experience during a sound healing that gave me a better understanding of what I was really feeling and going through in my life. As I lay comfy on this furry massage table, convinced I would just try to relax and enjoy the sound of the didgeridoo in my face, I realized the Universe had something else in store. As I was breathing deeply and then was struck with a chest collapsing sense of anxiety. The death/rebirth had begun. I saw myself set fire, I could feel it! Beyond that, I was ripping at my ribs, right below my heart and into my core, pulling them apart. There was work to be done. The fire made me go back and I began pulling out old black pieces of myself that was blocking the beautiful bright parts from being realized. I kept digging and digging, I felt hollow and out of breath. You can breath through anything, I told myself. This space I created wasn't empty for long. I knew it had to be conscious filled back up with something new. As I continued clearing tossing this old nasty shit into the fire, what seemed like a large blinding ray of sunlight light poured warmth, and love right over my work. Things began to slowly settle and heal. The raging fire (five of wands) began to subside and I could breath again. Though this breath felt different, it felt cleaner, fresher, lighter, and I everything around me seemed to be glowing with color. For this moment, my anxiety was obliterated. I was living in the moment full of relief, gratitude and surrender. I was given the gift of this visceral experience so I knew it was okay to feel such intense and painful emotions because it was worth the end result. Rebirth.

This life is a hell of a ride sometimes. Find ways to take care of yourself during these times and stay open for clarity on how you prefer to live your life and connect with others. Support you loved ones and allow yourself to be supported. It takes a tribe and self-awareness to stay balanced, centered and grounded enough to come out the other side with our sanity.

Sending you all love and happy new year vibes!!!

Where the heart goes...

12/27/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
In a moment of weakness,
I saw myself,
big Heart in hand,
tearing it open and sharing it with people who passed by,
handing it over again and again,
they would walk on,
taking little pieces with them,
and then I would see another beautiful soul,
sharing more,
but little by little I felt weakened.
The classic empathic give away.


In a moment of realization,
I called all the pieces of my Heart back,
slowly melting them together with the most delicate glues,
self forgiveness, self love, self compassion.
I sealed it with trust of myself and of Spirit,
As I brought it closer to my center,
I hugged it tight,
as I did it grew brighter and stronger.


In a moment of pure compassion,
I smiled at my Heart and felt the connection to my being
which sent vibrations of bliss and fulfillment to every aspect of my Self.
The more I embraced my Heart,
the brighter it grew,
and that's when I realized... In a moment of strength and beauty,
Connecting to my Heart,
Embracing my Heart,
Following my Heart,
this is how I share my Heart with grace, ease and balance,
This is how I love myself
This is how I change the world.

Happy Winter Solstice!

Happy Winter Solstice!
We have made it through the darkening season! We sit in longest night of reflection this evening and begin our search for the light within us.
May we find this light and nurture it!
For the days will now grow brighter with us!
​What does this feel like for us?  

Picture

There are certain beliefs and thought patterns that us feeling like we are trapped or stagnant. Things that may seem familiar or even comfortable because we have entertained them for so long.
But now is the time to acknowledge these beliefs and swim through them. This is our way of learning from them and it is a rite of passage to go through these more dense and heavy waters (emotions) to get to the other side of balance and peace.
The Chariot beckons us to move deeper, inward, to question our thoughts, feelings, needs and beliefs from a objective and more spiritually aware level. We are not what we think, feel, or need. We do not need to stay stagnant in our beliefs.
We can ride the current of life and self awareness straight to the core of who we really are.
​And guess what, there is nothing more beautiful than you!
Surprise yourself, date yourself and learn to love all the pieces, light or dark. Move towards to light! 

Sending you all love!

Aquarius Partial Lunar Eclipse Full Moon!

8/7/2017

Let’s jump right in…
Bubbling up to the surface is all the old repetitive thought patterns that have got to be HEALED! Let’s not worry about them still hanging around, but instead utilize this opportunity to dive deep into the roots of our self-stories that are no longer serving our lives. The good news is it is the 10 of swords! We are right at the brink of a new mentality.


It’s important to create for ourselves the space and time to be alone, still and listening to what our intuition has to say! Hermit up!!! This FULL MOON is a great time to create a small ritual for this. Gather things that relax you and bring you joy. Candles, sage, yoga mat, glitter, whatever it is! Then take a moment to set your intention to fully feel and listen. Practice a few moments of mindfulness. You can count your breaths, watch a flame, eat a piece of chocolate and focus all your senses on it. Don’t forget to take care of you body, mind AND spirit!

Ready for the FUN part?! The more we honor ourselves during this time of healing  (to feel deeply, shine light on these old wounds, and connect back to our Spirit) the more we can bring these desires and dreams to the material world. This Princess is all about new beginnings and endeavors of health and success!

Bring it on Luna!!!
We are here to honor and love ourselves till we find our lives as beautiful as our dreams!
Namaste, my loves!

P.S. Don't forget! If you share this post on social media and tag @devonearth you enter to win a free 3-card reading! Happy sharing!

Cancer New Moon ♋️

Happy Cancer New Moon Everyone!
This is a surprisingly chill moon, but it does come with some wake up calls.
First, we see that on a deeper level we are actually quite supported. With that trust in ourself and the Universe, abundance seems to fall to us out of no where! Staying in this place of faith can be quite challenging, however.

Externally, we are resisting our own ideas/dreams as well as having difficulty integrating them with those around us. The only constant in the life is change and when we decide to resist it, we create conflict. This can easily be enough to stop progress in its tracks.
We are challenged to approach all these changes this moon brings with enthusiasm!
When you find yourself in a place of resistance, instead seek ways to embrace and relax in it.


This moon could illuminate feelings of loss, misfortune and failure. Perhaps this is a time to sit back and reflect on what you have been focusing on. Is it more of a temporary quick fix? Have you begun to dabble in escapism? Are your intentions coming from your heart's center? May we take this time set in the discomfort and find it's source. Only then can we begin to feel it fully to let it pass through.
Once it's released, we now have space for a new beautiful creation!


Happy creating friends!

As usual, moon readings are discounted 20%. Reach out if you are needing clarity!

Namaste 💓

Ready for this?
Today is the Saggitarius Full Moon and, boy, is it sending us some strong energetic pulls.
It's time to drop the facade. "Everything is fine. This is good enough. At least I'm comfortable."
It is time to busy through the illusion and stand up for what we want!

Picture

The Queen of Swords is telling us to take off the mask and clearly look at our lives from a broader perspective.

Maybe you do feel 'fine.' Maybe you could stay comfortable, but until you step out of that comfort zone you'll never know the beauty that awaits you.

It's time to embrace and celebrate those around you! Our relationships are some of our biggest challenges because they show us exactly where we are and how we feel about ourselves.
This can be a shocking realization but make sure you also appreciate how far you've come and where you know you're headed.
Relationships are also excellent gateways to starting new habits and patterns.
Sometimes it can be difficult to shift your daily life until you see a new example. Find those people that you respect and admire and watch them.

Celebrate your uniqueness while surrounded by new ideas that may spark your passions into new directions!
Be open to new knowledge. The Hierophant is beckoning us to to learn more about ourselves, about our world and about new directions we can embrace that bring us a new level level of fulfillment.
He sits under an old wise tree and realizes all the deep roots below him are perfectly in balance with the tall blossoming branches above.
There is comfort in knowing you're going above and beyond what you thought you were capable of to find a life of passion, commitment and intimacy.

Let this moon guide you to a new understanding of what life can be and Who You Are.
May she cast a light on all the shadows that need healing for your freedom.
Love to you all!

ॐ Gemini New Moon Reading ॐ

Happy new Moon everyone! 
Unsurprisingly enough, we have the guardian of the subconscious standing before us. This Gemini New Moon is bringing up deep emotions and thoughts we might have previously tried to ignore, or perhaps, as the Seven of Cups shows us, things we have been distracting ourselves from. The good news is this moon brings us clarity and new ways of thinking. These subconscious beliefs are no longer able to be ignored. To write a new story, we must face them and decide what we want. Have we evolved into a new being that needs a new set of beliefs to continue growing?
The high priestess beckons us to step back from all the distractions in life and to give ourselves the time and space to truly look within our hearts.
As humans we are so good at convincing ourselves that what ever the situation is or however the relationship feels it is what is meant to be because we're in it, but if we challenge ourselves and ask questions...
Are we wanting to stay comfortable and safe even if we know we are repeating old patterns?  Is there a fear so scary that we are refusing to face it full on? If all things happen for a reason, couldn't it be that we are given a similar pattern for an opportunity to break the chain?
If we cling to something that almost fits or especially something toxic to us, we leave no room for the opening of a story that feels even better.  So embrace these new ideas, these new thoughts, re-write what you believe and follow your dreams. You are the only one in control of your life and your decisions.
Take responsibility.
Take your power back.

Plant seeds during this new moon that set you up for spiritual passion! 
***Ask me about New Moon discounts if you'd like a reading for the new cycle!***
Namaste

May 10th ~ Scorpio Full Moon Reading

Happy Scorpio Moon Loves!
For this I give you a three card reading.
For a personal Full Moon reading see below!

But first, that moon...
Holy portal opening! The cosmos is bringing in energy we simply can’t and don’t want to ignore. With the nodes switching to Leo yesterday and today’s Full Moon in Scorpio- We are being asked to dive deep into the waters of our soul and live our new story. There is a largely healing aspect to this watery moon as we allow ourselves to ask “Who Am I Now?” I assure you it’s very different from who you were a month ago if you’ve been on the path of self-growth. From this new person, use this energy to heal and breath in the fresh air of a new life.

What do the cards say about it?
The energy!
Look around, notice the abundance before you. Your hard work is paying off. The seeds you planted at the last new moon are now grown and ready to be harvested. Ten of Pentacles shows us a sturdy tree with two people hugging it together. They’ve been nurturing this dream for so long and it has finally reached a point of stability and strength. What are some things that you’ve built in your life that you are proud of? What are your dreams that you can see coming to fruition? Visual them! You are a magical being in a magical time!
The challenge!
Has it been difficult to let go of things that no longer resonate with Who You Are? It surely takes strength and awareness to cut out habits, environments and/or relationships, but perhaps shifting your perspective is enough to keep hope in your heart. Instead of focusing on the three cups in the water, shift your focus to the two full, upright cups that are right in front of you! By releasing the old we make space for the new!
The Focus!
Remember the stability and strength we mentioned earlier? Now the Four of Wands is here to say focus on it. This card is one of happiness and good fortune. The foundation has been set and now we can build from it a life of our dreams! Believe in the good things coming.
I love you all and I hope you use this beautiful opportunity the Universe is giving us to boost in the direction of our dream life!
If you’d like a personal Full Moon reading, I will be giving a 20% off for anyone that uses the code "Sun&Moon" when they message me.
Namaste!

Retreat to Spirit - 11/9

Holy shit, America!

​It has been a strange and stressful period as we have come to this election day. The divide between us is strong and we feel this rip in the core of our beings, but alas, this does not have to be our future! (Though, my fiery Goddess, does it feel like hell right now or what?!) 
    The Five of Swords represents oneself fighting a futile battle with those around us. Actually, if you watched any of the debates, you may have seen this card’s energy quite clearly! When self-interest rules our actions, we began wildly swinging the blade blindly in fear because we feel threatened. It embodies the “us-against-them” mentality, the lack of focus on our moral compass and imposing ill-will on others to protect ourselves and beliefs… Sound like politics right? *What is the cost of this?!* Why are we swinging at loved ones? Why don’t we feel empowered by our thoughts and words? Instead, we find ourselves in a wild defense based on fear. In a crazy time like this, we must choose our battles wisely, with love and a greater future in mind.
    The [Trump] Tower shows us how our environment (or government) is exploding with change. This is a *major* arcana card, the energy is STRONG and the upheaval is REAL. Many of us are feeling the surprise and shock of what we hoped was a semi- solid foundation to build on, but here we feel the chaos exploding causing a nation-wide emotional outburst. Any foundation we once had is now being destroyed and we are doing our best to stand our ground as it quakes beneath us. Though, after moments of chaos and heartbreak come realizations of the big Truth. The illusions that were once hidden behind the veil are burning before our eyes. The well dressed puppets of politics have ripped off their mask and given us a face that matches their intentions. Yet, notice the eye that is above it all. Watching and shining out it’s radiant truth and wisdom. Chaos isn’t a ‘bad’ thing, it is a necessary thing when change is greatly needed. We must find the positive in this change and go within to find our personal truth and purpose…
    Which brings us to the Four of Swords. Though we lay uncomfortably upon our chaotic thoughts, if we give ourselves time to rest, open our hearts to Spirit and go within to our deepest core, we can still ground and connect back to unconditional love. After all, it’s the very fabric we were designed from. Find your happy place, run into Gaia’s belly, take time to breath, relax and let your Higher Self come in and show you the positive and show you the lesson. Going within is not running from the problem, it is facing it with your ENTIRE being. Stillness has it’s rewards, and you must allow it in order to reap them. I promise you that you will return to this circumstance with a new perspective that you can balance with peace and unconditional love.
    No matter who you voted for or who your loved ones voted for, we are in this together! We chose to be here at this time, under these circumstances with alllll these souls. So now we can ask ourselves, do we want to react out of fear or egoic victory? Or do we want to remain in a place of loving peace and shine our wisdom on the world? The choice is yours and there is no wrong answer, only your experience.

Namascray America!
