For this
New Moon reading I've used the Angel dreams
Oracle by Doreen Virtue. Although I've bought this deck about a year ago, I've never worked with it. Yesterday evening I
was sitting in my room looking at my decks, wondering which on I would chose for
my New Moon reading and this deck seemed to call : “Pick me Pick me!” Who am I not to react to such an explicit
desire. So I picked it up, gave the deck
thorough shuffle and drew two cards:
Release: Nettle – Boundaries, Caution
This cards
urges me to let go of too rigid boundaries. They will prevent me from being
flexible and adaptable. People who want
to come closer might get hurt by irritated remarks or cranky moods. The Nettle grows
everywhere and excludes other plants from its colonies. And this is something I
don’t want. Although I need being alone as much as I need to breath, I do have
to be careful not to isolate myself and shut everyone out like the little Nettle
fairy in the background.
Embrace: Lucid dreams – Awareness , Opportunities
This is a
bright and optimistic card to pull for the Embrace position. With her arms open
wide, she is ready to receive. She knows she can create her own path by following
her intuition and making the right choices along the way. She is open to the possibilities,
presented to her. During a lucid dream you are able to change and/or create
situations in and the surroundings of you dreamscape.
Some philosophies
state this earthly life is but a dream. If
it this is true I sure wish to be able
to dream lucid.
(After the reading
I suddenly made the connection between the starry borders and The Star as my guide for my 40 Day Challenge start and I smiled...)
Nice connection to your Star card! :) I have lived part of my life as that Nettle, with extreme boundaries and walls in place to protect myself. Unfortunately I also kept out what was joyful and beautiful... I do think some boundaries are good, but not the kind that keep me in solitary confinement!
ReplyDeleteI've been the same; putting on walls so thick and without any windows or doors. It was safe and I needed it but gradually it became more sad then safe. As always there has to be balance.
DeleteInteresting deck Ellen.
ReplyDeleteMmm in the past my walls weren't thick enough. I think I've managed to get my boundaries in place now and still have an open heart without brick and mortar. Too many walls in this world. <3
I was quite surprised by it too
DeleteIt was very difficult for me to open my heart again but it feels so much more me
I love your comment about life being a dream, and us dreaming it lucidly! Wishing you luck in getting the balance right between healthy boundaries and being open. Like Catherine says, good to have barriers, but they don't need to be impenetrable walls :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Chloe! As with everything in life balance seems to be the key :)
