Week of September 8th ~ Guidance, Journal Questions, and Affirmation
Guidance
The two cards for this week are Communicate with Spirit and Feel (from the Cosmic Dancer Oracle Deck).
What has been on your mind and in your heart lately? Has a past hurt resurfaced to be dealt with? Are you going through a difficult time right now? Whatever it is, bring it to the Divine.
The Divine already sees all of you, just as you are – your strengths, your weaknesses, your emotions, and even the parts of you that you try to hide from others or yourself. Identifying, acknowledging, accepting, and expressing your feelings brings you closer to your truest self and, thus, closer to the Divine.
Emotions can be complicated and messy, and not all of us were taught how to deal with them in a healthy way. Even if you do have strategies for processing emotions, sometimes they can still feel overwhelming and unmanageable. Whenever this happens, bring your emotions to the Divine. Turn your difficult feelings into an offering, use them to power transformation and change, or transmute them into whatever you need right now. Emotions are energy! Use them as such.
Emotions only cause problems when they get stuck – when we don’t allow them to properly flow through and out of us. Sometimes we can’t identify the root of our emotions – Our anger may be masking the deep grief we are actually feeling, or our fear may be hiding our sadness. The Divine can help with this process of getting to the core of our emotions and expressing them in a healthy way.
This can be a scary and uncomfortable process, particularly if it is around past pain or trauma. But in order to fully heal, we have to know how deep the wound is, and how best to treat it.
Take some time this week to sit in sacred space and fully feel your emotions. Reach out to Aphrodite and the Divine to support you in this process. You may wish to do a ritual to help you process your emotions, or follow a guided meditation like the one for the Ritual of Offering and Transmutation.
Journal Questions
