The "Three of Vessels", True Joy from Gracious Living

Sometime during the night as I slept or slightly awoke, I suppose, thoughts of the Wildwood Tarot filled my mind so I decided as the night progressed the Wildwood was my go to deck in morning.  It's energy calling out to me through my subconscious mind.

Spirit Is and today's Wildwood Tarot Energy is the "Three of Vessels, Joy: The ability to connect directly to joy allows the healing and empowering energies to flow through you and is a gift from the universe.  Being able to be joyful and celebrate life fully in gratitude for the amazing gifts we share is a uniquely individual blessing but is also recognised by those who feel its warmth radiating from us.  To be able to embrace love, life's achievements and the fulfilment that comes with selfless dedication to a shared cause or belief is to be the conduit from which the unseen breath of the divine flows.  One of the most common reasons why people lose the ability to feel authentic joy in their lives is the fear associated with loss or grief at the passing of the emotion.  Sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to be completely fulfilled and to experience joy again and be strong and stoical enough to understand that all of life's trials and tribulations, as well as the blessings and gifts, are cyclical by nature."

The "Three of Vessels" is guiding us, if not outright telling us to live in the present and to live and celebrate life with unconditional and unflinching gratitude each and every day of our lives no matter what trials and tribulations come our way.  Living in the present, present moment awareness and living as best we can each and every day allows joy to flow through our lives.  Yes, life can be challenging however we need to be always be spiritually minded each and every day and joy shall be with us always.

I always try to be joyful and full of gratitude each and every morning and doing my best to remind myself of the joys of existence throughout the day because I've been given the gift of life for yet another day.  A gift that allows me to experience the awesomeness and beauty of life and all that life offers once again.

Joy is awaking and being greeted by the warm embrace of a new day, the breath of life from a new day, the spiritual richness that comes from being a conduit of the Great Source that gifts us all with the Spirit of Life that fills one and all, that continuously encourages us to be more than we think we can be spreading light and love throughout the world by allowing the unseen breath of the divine flow through our joy of living true and authentic lives.

Thank You Spirit.

"11 The Woodward" and Harnessing Our Inner Strength

Spirit Is and today's Wildwood Tarot Energy is "11 The Woodward: Through adversity or the process of re-balancing in life, we find courage within ourselves that flows from an unknown source.  Sometimes that courage has to do with facing unavoidable truth or dealing with a person or problem that no amount of physical confrontation or emotional bravery will resolve.  The Woodward's strength, drawn from nature's inherent power to renew and overcome, is needed if we are to foresee what is to come and wait upon the turning of the seasons. Sometimes, when faced with a challenging situation, we must find our own inner backstop, the point from which we will not retreat or from which we can move forward with quiet confidence.  The Wildwood ethos has to teach humanity about calm, resolute strength."

Sometimes, what's needed is an inner, well-focused and resolute strength in order for us to see our plans and goals through to completion.  Oftentimes, this will not happen until we're pushed to our limits where we are teetering on the edge of a cliff and where a shift in our balance one way or another will either lead to a more solid footing or a great fall.  We all have the strength within us to succeed but we don't always know how to channel or make this inner strength work for us.  At least, not until we are pushed to the extreme where it becomes a "do" or "die" situation, if you will.

But realising this should be enough for us to connect with this inner strength and use it to carry us forward to see our goals through to their successful completion.  We need to become one with our goals, to let our goals become a part of the very fabric of our being so much so that they help provide us with the focus, strength and momentum needed that carries us forward to meet our future selves, living the fruits of our labour and fulfillment of our goals.

Thank You Spirit.
