There are a few tickets available if you would like to join πŸ’œ

Meditation will be back in 2 weeks though - we will need it for the festive season πŸ§˜πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Date: 30 nov β€’ 14:00

An immersive sound bath featuring traditional Tibetan bowls, gongs, & sacred mantras, with frequencies of Light Language & Shamanic drums.

πŸ’œπŸ’œ Reveal Time πŸ’œπŸ’œ

A: THE ANCIENTS

The Ancients are a collective of all beings who have walked Mother Earth's surface before you. They are the trees, the animals, plants, and the ancestors whose bodies have returned to the soil to become one with the Earth again. They are always watching out for you and supporting you in ways you can't imagine. You can call on them at any time, but they are especially helpful when you feel as though your back is against the wall. There is no shame in seeking support. There are some things that are too big for you to handle on your own.

The Ancients have come to your reading because your situation needs a helping hand from a higher power. This card presents itself when you have done everything you can to make something work or change your situation, and still that is not enough. There is no more for you to do at this time. You are being guided to surrender your troubles to the Ancients who will facilitate the best possible outcome. This message is especially important if you have also pulled the Prayer card.

Light Acknowledgment Prayer

Ingredients: white candle

Sometimes what you need to do is very simple: pray. Light a white candle and sit in prayer to your guides, the Ancients. Let them know you are aware of their presence. Let them know you surrender to the process and will let go of your heavy heart, trusting all will work out in time. Ask them to assist you and let them know you need their focus right now in order to feel fully supported.

B: Soul Loss represents powerlessness and a loss of identity. Traumatic events shake us to our core, so much so that the soul is disconnected from the body and lost in the confusion as we try to make sense of the chaos. It's natural to lose a connection to the truest parts of yourself after trauma. Major events are not the only incidents that can trigger trauma; small traumas can accumulate to cause the soul to suddenly and unexpectedly sever its tether to the body. To regain your soul, look to the last time you felt unconditional joy and existed without outside influence.

Seek your inner child, that part of your being that still remembers how to laugh and how to approach the world with curious wonder. Connect to Mother Earth and the simple pleasures of sun on your face and grass between your toes. Allow yourself to feel inspired and to see the beauty in new adventures and experiences. Notice what feels good or comes naturally to you. Play without any expectations to remind your soul what joy feels like. Replace suffering with the process of getting to know yourself again.
Find the Self-Meditation Journey

Find a place where you can sit or lie down quietly. Close your eyes and calm your mind and body. Take seven deep breaths, and on the last exhale, hold your breath for 10 seconds. As you gently allow sacred air to enter your lungs, envision yourself floating on a never-ending ocean, glittering and swirling like a galaxy beneath the waves.

Feel the lightness of the water carrying your body away. There is no land, just you and the dome of stars in the dark sky. Open your eyes to the darkness, and when you feel ready, sink into the ocean. Beneath the surface of the water you see stars shining bright, shooting stars, and glowing colors swirling above. Go ahead and reach for a star, the brightest of stars. Bring the star into your heart, and as it enters, becoming one with you, shoot up into the dark sky illuminating the darkness. Feel your spirit in its truest form. Remind yourself of who you are without the pain, the hurt, the experiences that dimmed your star's light. Hold on to this feeling, this power, and when you are ready, open your eyes and find your way back to yourself again.

C: PRAYER

You do not have to face your challenges alone. If you have felt lost, lacking, or in need of support, it may be that you have lost your connection with the grounding energy of the Earth. It's tempting to always appeal to cosmic forces-sending prayers out into the universe to ancestors and spirit guides-but the Earth is always here to guide you along your path as well. Earth Mother is holding you in her arms with each step if you only allow yourself to relax into her warmth and well-being. Her energy will help you build stronger foundations and show you the path of dedication, practicality, and long-term growth.

Mama Earth is always here for you, but she needs to know that you welcome her guidance. Prayer is one of the simplest ways to invite her into your spirit. It serves as a line of communication, carrying your hopes, dreams, gratitude, and calls for support. Offer your prayers to the Earth in the same way that you would update a dear friend or a loved one. Speaking to Earth Mother in this sacred
way establishes a connection that allows her to send you even more healing, abundance, nourishment, and guidance. Soon you will begin to hear her answers in the whisper of the wind, the lapping of waves, and the sweet songs of birds at your window.

Prayer Journal

Keeping a journal devoted solely to prayer and to your relationship with your guides including Mother Earth-is a powerful daily practice and creates magic within its pages. Each time you write your prayers, they are amplified more and more by your powerful magic, building energy that is crucial for manifesting your desires.

Address each prayer journal entry however you like (for example: Dear Spiritual Team). Ask for specific assistance, offer daily updates on what is happening in your life, share your deepest feelings, or write about messages you may have received. Thank your guides for any shifts, noticeable changes, and clear directions from them. Keep your high-vibe journal on your altar or in another sacred space.

10/11/2025

πŸ’œπŸ’œ Reveal Time πŸ’œπŸ’œ

A: Falcon

I am Falcon, the swiftness of change. I am the sun god, the solar emblem, and the renewal of fortitude. I am victory rising. I am the hunter. Faster than anyone, I harness the power of quick action. Every flit of a feather alters the world somehow, so waste no opportunity. I am conquest. I am prophecy. I will lead you to your purpose. You have made great strides already, but I am here to take you further. I have given you the visions you asked for, but you have yet to take flight. Take heed of the currents and dive in. Find your target and take uncompromising aim. I am the arrow that hits the mark and will steer you ahead if you allow it. Get away from the scenic route and plot your steps quickly. Many great things lie ahead.

You are forging ahead.
You have spotted the prize.
You are triumphant.
You are Falcon.

B SEAGULL

I am Seagull, master of the sea. I am legend on the waters. I am ghost bird. I am the one who haunts those adrift in the storm. I have the ways to maintain my bold position and defend a scavenger lifestyle. I take what I want, as my survival depends on it. If you want my advice-learn to take what is given while it's there. There is always treasure where nobody looks. There are always paths no one has trod upon. Seek them out and make them your own. I am resource and plenty. Expand your horizons. I am guardian of the open shores. Look farther out to sea, the ships may be heading in your direction. Competition is wild, but your instincts are keen.

You are navigating the chaos.
You are exploring deeper waters.
You are boundless supply.
You are Seagull.

C: CONDOR

I am Condor, the great alchemist with wings. I am the order of the cosmos. I am that which devours. When life perishes I will remove it. If something has ceased to be, I will give it new form. I am the shaman of death and the soul of renewal. I am your lingering clue that something must go. You need to look at life from the shadows and see how everything connects. You must accept that many things are beyond human understanding. There is change. There is transformation. There is death. It is the alchemy of time and the way of the universe. I will not give you all of the answers, but will offer circumstances to heighten what you already know. If it is my lessons you seek, look around; death is everywhere, with the red dawn of metamorphosis close behind. Stop running from change and let something die its death. Stop lingering where there is no hope. Let life be renewed as it needs to,

You are transforming.
You are resurrection.
You are acceptance.
You are Condor.

It's card day Monday πŸ’œ Yay πŸ’œ

I have regular bird visitors to my home, even one that tapes on my bedroom window around 7am every morning - times I am a fan, there are times I am not 🀣

During the week, I have had a couple of discussions around birds and the meanings for other people. It appears birds have a big representation for so many people, so of course I am going to use the Winged Enchantment Oracle this week.

Which card are you drawn to today A, B or C?
Let me know in the comments and don't forget to check back for the reveal later this evening
Also if you have a "favourite" bird species I would love to know that too. Of course mine is the Heron πŸ’œ

Enjoy your Monday

Love, kindness and compassion to you all

πŸ’œπŸ’œ Reveal Time πŸ’œπŸ’œ

A: Heart Magic

Paint your world from your heart, it's the magic wand of the universe.

Meaning

The universe is a cosmic ocean of energy & we are all swimming in it! We are not separate from what it is we want, for it's all part of the same ocean.

This card reminds you that true miracles are felt in the heart, every stroke we paint on the canvas of our minds must be felt in the magic of our hearts for our creations to fully come into being.

The brain is a polarized tool, so your thoughts swim in the pools of polarity often creating polarized results. When we engage our hearts in this cosmic mix, we swim in the clear water of perfect creation, no polarity!

When we bring intention into our hearts, it flows in the oceans of abundance, we feel it, we become a part of it, the excitement, the glorious colours your heart is painting, the world your creating, reshaping, building & defining.

Your heart has intelligence, it's the master co-creator of your manifesting world. A magic wand of unconditional love that can paint your intentions from the canvas of your mind through the gateway of your heart, the cosmic birth canal of all creation.

B: Financial Flow

You've earned it, you deserve it!

Financial rewards begin to flow, & profitable solutions unfold

Meaning

If you've been working hard to achieve the success you desire, this card is a good indication that all your efforts will soon be rewarded.

It may be important for you at this time to create security for yourself or your family, which is also associated with the building of your self confidence, as you progress towards the achievement of your goals & desires

Financial flow brings the promise & hope of new employment, job promotion, or perhaps a pay rise or winfall. It's also a good omen for business or investments.

This card can raise the question of how money is flowing in your life, are you blocked emotionally, financially? For the two are always intertwined, especially if you've been undervaluing yourself. We must become what we desire, for we cannot have success if we feel unsuccessful. We must first value ourselves, our talents & skills to attract the flow of success we truly desire & deserve.

C: Heart Choices

When you're true to your heart, self fulfillment, success & happiness grow.

Meaning

Your heart is so much more than just a vessel for romance. It's the navigator of your happiness. It's the center of feeling, the essence of your being, a source of inspiration, joy & creativity. We are never misguided by our hearts, only our minds & how we react to our thoughts beliefs & emotions. When we allow our minds to govern our choices, living a life of logical & safe decisions we can leave a lot of unused potential on the table.

This card prompts us to ask what is the heart of the problem? What is my truth here, regardless of the outward details. If you're confused which way to go this card brings heart centered confidence in your decisions, whether it be in love, work or life in general.

Your situation may need the participation of your heart, are you being true to yourself, your passions & desires? Battling with the pros & cons of your mind, versus living in-tune with your heart brings you to a place of surrender, let it flow let it go. You may have options, there may be more opportunities to come, but right now ask yourself is it a step closer to your dreams or a step further from them? Allow the navigation of your heart to steer you & the choices will be clear.

It's card day Monday πŸ’œ Yay πŸ’œ

Just I know - I've not been keeping track of days or time as I heal and chill and it's been delightful.

Part of that chilling has been lots of colouring so I figured let's use the rainbow Oracle.

Which card are you drawn to today A, B or C?

And as it's almost what would be the reveal time, the reveal will be up tomorrow

I hope you have enjoyed your Monday
