Let’s admit it–no matter whom you voted for, this presidential election was brutal. It was rife with negativity. By Wednesday morning, I just felt numb, and it didn’t matter whose face was on the front page of the paper.
Needing a mental boost, I turned to a tool kit that I use for inspiration. It’s a set of readings inspired by Native American prophecies on a variety of empowering topics. Each is accompanied with a poem and a beautiful piece of artwork.
Whenever I use these cards, I begin with an intention, a specific personal concern for which I would like some clarity. Even though the topics are sequential, I turn randomly to a page to see what “answer is chosen” for my reflection.
The topic that emerged this time was perfect: Transformation
Here is an excerpt:
The message you are receiving in the card of Transformation is this…you are now called upon to surrender into change!
Old beliefs and attitudes have had their time. There is a transition ahead; a passage from old to new awaits you. This transition is a kind of death and may not be easy, for letting go can challenge you to your core. This can be a painful and frightening journey of growth.
Know that when you are able to let go into this Transformation, there will be the birth of new opportunities, new feelings, new life, and new relationships. Be willing to step through your fear of change.
Remember this…change brings new life.
Out of the 44 topics in this book, I randomly chose Transformation. It was so appropriate; it gave me goose bumps! It definitely helps me have hope for our country.
It also gives me pause for introspection about my own journey.
What Transformation is on the horizon within me? What limiting beliefs have I been holding onto that I should allow to die so that new empowering beliefs can rise and thrive? Is there a person, a pattern, a belief or habit that has been limiting me, that has served its purpose and can be cut loose?
What about you? What transformation is on your horizon?
