Dances on One Foot – Balancing Act
As a dancer moves around the stage, they never have both feet on the ground, there is always one foot in the air. Their grace comes from how they move from one foot to another and the poses and moves they display.
If you are putting too much of yourself into a relationship, a job, a family or friends, now is the time to recognize it and that this is draining your spiritual energy. Some things must be let go so you have the energy you need for the things that will bring love, energy and vitality into your life.
You also need to recognize and understand the difference between being ready for something, anything to enter your life and being prepared.
We spend a lot of time and emotional energy acquiring money, resources and “things” for what we hope will be our future. Like a scientist looking through a microscope, we are focused on the tiny things in our lives and yet we are not ready when an opportunity is offered to us because we are not looking up and around.
Know this, at any moment in your life, you have all that you need to succeed, grow and thrive. Do not concentrate on the small things, look up and be ready for the opportunity that comes from a direction you had not thought of. Also, know that you will never be fully prepared for the reality accepting an opportunity will bring.
This card comes to tell you to be in a state of “yes.” Yes, to opportunities you did not see coming, and say yes to things that add, love, vitality and growth to your life, not things that hold you into a path you have been treading for weeks, months, and years.
Welcome opportunities into your life that speak to love, vitality and growth to your life and no to the things that do not, you will see your life become lighter, happier and sunnier. As you do so, recognize you have what you need to succeed, whether it is training and knowledge, or material things like a laptop, a car, you either already have these things or you have the ability to acquire them. There is nothing missing in you or your spirit.
Stars in the Sky—Limitless Possibility
Astronomy tells us there are more stars, constellations and galaxies in the night sky than we can see. Telescopes like the James Web are millions of miles from Earth, our home, peering into the sky and recording so much more.
The night sky is limitless and is always expanding. We can be sure that what we can see with our eyes and tools is just a fraction of what exists. We are part of that never ending and always expanding universe. Each of us has as much potential in us as each and every star we can know.
Now is the time for you to focus on what we want to learn, do, experience, and rejoice in. Now is the time to be present in the moment, in the here and now. Look within and see what it is you wish to participate in.
Do not let yourself be distracted. If you can concentrate clearly on what it is you want to achieve, you will summon your helpers and guides, along with the universal energy of abundance, to achieve what it is you are focusing on.As with manifesting abundance, do not concentrate on the form of what you wish to receive, concentrate on the potential. The universe will deliver what is suitable and appropriate to you at the moment you need it.
