I was shuffling my tarot deck and I saw the Symbol of a Lizard who had its limb removed. Almost like when lizards shed their tail to get away from a predator.
Â
So…this week…there’s an element of Removal…Escape…Dodge. I do even see the XV DEVIL card reversed in my head.
Â
Hm. Since the symbol of the lizard losing its limb/tail involves a natural biological adaptation to the Jungle of Life and the Devil reversed is a release from control…what are we going to be met with this week?
Â
I am just Frozen right now in the Fight, Flight, or Freeze states. Our body’s adaptation to trauma, fear, and the like. My body just shut down and I was immobilized. Now I’m watching (in my head) a video of a terrifying roller coaster and I feel my body’s responses to my personal fear of heights.
Â
A week of being in touch with our body! Being in tuned with out body’s adaptation to fear and trauma! What is our body holding onto?
Â
Let me pull some cards to dive further into this.
Â
III PENTACLES REVERSED | XX JUDGEMENT | VIII PENTACLES
Â
How has out body stored the negative emotions and reactions to events regarding our work ethic, job and school performance, and times when we felt as though we were not doing well at school/work? Interesting!
Â
We are led here to maybe dive deeper into what we hold onto from those negative events originating from our journey through school and with work. The unwarranted critiques. The times when we were bullied. The cliques and circles formed in school/work. The pressure to get something done and the possibility of failing a test/project.
Â
I do believe Mercury will be retrograding soon so this could be a magnifying glass for us to use.
Â
Maybe we are guided to Shed the Tail of yesteryear regarding the pain our body holds onto from school/work. The memories. School was not very kind to me in my earlier years and I have memories of doing my PSI Work like I mentioned at the start of this newsletter.
Â
There’s an opportunity to begin healing this and to bring awareness to our bodies.
Â
With this awareness comes the possibility of working hard on developing or studying something new. Maybe we have been held back by suppressed memories and emotions from yesteryear in the realms of school and work.
Â
This can take many forms for us and there’s not one ‘right’ way to start the process for the body to release this energy. You’ll have to request guidance on which modality may be best for you.
Â
I had to really examine myself and prepare to group mediumship reading. Higher Mind kept pushing me to do groups, but it took me years until I was ready to do that. I had to build that self-esteem.
Â
Whatever this is for you…you will have an opportunity to identify something from yesteryear that inflicted you with negative emotion and trauma in the realms of school/work.
Â
Once you identify something then you will be tasked with finding the path for you to release it from your body and then become invigorated with the energy required to embark on a new work journey or study curriculum that you may have felt like you weren’t ready to do this in the past.
Â
III SWORDS REVERSED
Â
Yup. We have this opportunity to talk to our body, to see what memories surface when we ask our body what it is holding onto, and then we can begin a new path.
That’s it!
Â
May you have a lovely week!
Â
Sincerely,
Jake
