Today’s Card: #19 The Gift of Command - Throat Chakra

Short Message: Speak your truth with loving courage.

Message from book: The purpose of life is to command time and space - the time given and the space designated to you, from the get go, for fulfilling your dharma. You just need to show up and keep ip, ensuring that your identity, personality, mind, body and spirit are in your command.?

Having command of your thoughts is the most effective way to face your life, and excel. When you hold positive vibrations, you also attract them. Positive words and sounds are very powerful tools for realizing prosperity.

This card indicates guidance to focus on learning, to truly master all of your communications. It’s time for you to feel and acknowledge the power of all spoken words, including positive affirmations, the seed sounds, mantras and chanting. Find the courage in your heart to speak honestly with love and to become more sensitive to the way sound shifts energy and what is manifested as a result of those sounds.?

Suggested practice: Create your own affirmations - find words that means something to you that you can use to Crete the basis rules for your conduct. Once you have come to an agreement with yourself to define your own nobility, you can command your mind to follow that conduct.?

Jenny’s message and exercise(s):? This is such a multi-faceted card and a very important one for all times in our life. Especially these 2 weeks we are in, during eclipse time. What are you speaking to the world that you are ready to release and what are you speaking into existence as you walk forward?? Affirmations are a wonderful tool for this, but not all affirmations are created equal. When you create an affirmation my general rule of thumb, is to have them about 80% truth and 20% what you are wanting to attain. If you repeat “I am a billionaire” and you are in debt and about to lose your home you WILL meet resistance.?

When I was healing my physical body, the affirmations that resonated the deepest with me were, “I am working on my healing every day” and “I am grateful for my healing”. I was truly grateful when I woke up, if even a few parts of me were not in pain and I focused my attention there. I knew I was working on learning how to feel better physically and that began with my mind.. so these resonated as truth but also as what I was walking into. Affirmations said in the mirror - ones like, “I love you”, “I am safe”, “It is safe to speak and live my truth” also go a long way. It is what resonates for YOU. I also love mantras, chanting and some seed sounds… what feels right for YOU to repeat?

It is important to watch your words with yourself and with others. Are you speaking from habit and past wounds? Or are you listening to how you are speaking to yourself and others and working on how to be authentic but ALSO speak from a healed space. Our words DO create our world. If we show up feeling and speaking negatively to someone it is very unlikely there will be a positive result. If we show up speaking authentically but from our heart - there is a BIG difference, and it will be FELT by the other person.?

It can be very easy to look around and say, “Boy the world sure looks like a shit show right now - how can I speak positively?” But there are always beautiful things going on in the world too! When you empower yourself by your words - you can be inspired to take action to help others AND you uplift others. Nothing gets solved by standing around commiserating about how awful it is. Inspired action can be come to when we FEEL inspired and empowered. It truly does begin within each and every one of us.?

Journal prompts:? - How do I speak to myself about myself??

• How do I speak to myself about the world?
• How do I speak to others - loved ones and people I find challenging?
• What DO I want my world to look like and what is one step I can take in the next few days that mirrors that energy??

Exercise:? What area of your life are you working on? Relationships? Finances? Career? Peace of Mind? An exercise or spiritual practice?? Only you know what you are wanting more of. Take some slow breaths, get centered and close your eyes. Place your hands on your heart. Ask yourself what is an encouraging and exciting affirmation that you can use to support yourself as you walk into attaining more balance in this part of your life?? Take the first thing that comes to mind. Remember it or immediately write I down. Repeat it a few times. Repeat it as you inhale and as you exhale, exhale out any resistance you feel to that statement. How does it feel? Does it feel exciting, supportive and yet maybe a teensy bit scary?? If so, you are on the right track. PLAY with this… as humans we take ourselves wayyyy too seriously. The more we play, and are non judgmental with ourselves, but supportive, the more comfy we WILL feel speaking out truth and LIVING our truth. Give yourself gratitude for taking this time to reflect on how to speak your truth and life into existence and give yourself an inner hug.?

Sending MUCH love your way!!! ?
