The 'King of Arrows, Kingfisher' and Letting Go of the Chains That Hold You Back

Friday, November 20, 2015.  Another work week come and gone.  Whew!

The job is going well unfortunately though I'm getting tired of having a schedule and not doing more spiritual work.  I've often wondered what would happen if I took a big risk and simply quit the job and see where life takes me considering I've always wanted a spiritual career.  And not simply spiritual.  I'd like to teach, inform, and assist people in opening themselves to the universal knowledge and wisdom that dwells within all of but is simply hidden in the depths of our being.

But enough of me this is more about Spirit and how Spirit works in each of our lives...

Today's Tarot Energy is "King of Arrows, Kingfisher: You may need to exercise judgement, power, force of will.  The king is impartial and helps you see clearly what you no longer need to hold onto.  Use your strength to cut yourself free of what weighs you down.  Intelligence, Strength, Watchfulness, Counselling, The ability to judge true from false."

And for now I'm at a loss as to what I can and need to cut from my life especially since it is weighing me down in ways I'm not even consciously aware of.  Hhhmmmmm...

Yes, indeed, I'm really at a loss for words as to where to go with the "King of Arrows, Kingfisher".  This requires some deep thought, meditation and a good night's sleep.  And perhaps, another Tarot card.

The "King of Arrows, Kingfisher" is a card that each of us must reflect on individually and come to terms with in relation to what we need to get rid of so it no longer weighs us down.  I've got some ideas for my own situation and how I can deal with letting go of a few things that are holding me back in what are likely self-imposed chains.

But then again as I reflect on this idea I have of what I need to let go of, I actually feel joy and happiness when I think about doing such things and pain and anxiety when I envision giving them up.  I'm talking about my plans to blend work and travel in the coming years.  It's possible but is it taking up too much of my energy, energy that I can focus on other areas of my life.

Hhhmmmmm...yeah more thought, meditation and sleep is required...

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

'9 The Hooded Man' and Taking a Time Out

Thursday, October 22, 2015.  I had a bit of a sleepless night.  I usually do when my partner is away however last night was compounded by the way my work day ended.  A couple of people were let go for abusing company time and the rest us then had to pick up the fallout of their departures.  But things turned out pretty darned well today and this I attribute to my honesty in not having the experience necessary to undertake training a new hire.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the "9 The Hooded Man: The time of the Hooded Man is here.  Whether he appears in the guise of an inner guide and mentor or simply as a state of mind, you will understand that now is a time to withdraw and rest.  After a long journey through the Wildwood, many emotions and experiences need to be absorbed.  This is the beginning of understanding - not just of yourself, but the universe.  The hermit-like Hooded Man appears differently for everyone.  Whether through meditation or solitude in the mountains, through prayer or holidaying in a secluded place, his light will illuminate the way to the heart of the endless cycle of being."

I had a lot plans for the next eight or nine days however I feel the need for quiet solitude and contemplation.  I see images of candles burning and wafts of incense smoke rising and filling the air with sweet aromas.  But then I'm also driven by the this urge to do more things than I likely can accomplish so I just let things unfold with the energy of the day such as with today's Tarot Energy of "9 The Hooded Man"...rest and relaxation and let both my mind and body rest for the evening.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
