Tarot of the Week

Collective Reading September 15-21: Success

This week we are connecting our efforts to our results and observing how what we do has an effect. So much of the process of your goals manifesting has been difficult to justify because the results have been slow during the process of figuring out how and building momentum. You are ready to see results.

For the numerology of this spread, I’m seeing 7 8 9 10, which are the last few steps to completion. Seven is the number of the mental mind, the place where our ideas and beliefs solidify so we can move forward with a holistic approach to our goals. Ten as the central card speaks to the end result of our efforts. I found it interesting that the Chariot, the seven of the major arcana, chose to be at the top, and that the other spoke cards did not go in order. There are many ways and progressions to follow to achieve results this week. Don’t focus so much on the order of tasks, so long as you feel like you’re taking the next right step. Sometimes the cart has to come before the horse temporarily so that you know how to hitch the horse to it.

The interesting thing with this week is that Water Sister (11 in the sequence of the cups suit) insisted on replacing one of the cards in the spread before they were flipped over, and Eight of Fire almost came out last week. We are definitely seeing a progression here. Following one’s path steadily accelerates into allowing change to happen rapidly, both in our inner and outer worlds. Your trust and surrender of control over everything outside of your wheelhouse will make the transition smoother. Stop worrying and start breathing. If breathing all the way in is hard, breathe all the way out first, and trust that when you need to breathe in, you will have air to fill your lungs. That next step is here in front of you because you aligned with it. Are you ready to take it? The answer is yes, so metabolize the fear and do it.

Seven of Wind, Many Tongues, speaks to the feeling of futility as you try to use old systems to effect new results. It’s not your job to try to fix someone else’s broken system. It’s your job to find the middle path through to get the new result. There is also an aspect of gossip in this card. Others may be wagging their tongues, and the noise may be something you have to shut out. It’s not your job to correct others’ opinions, and it’s not their job to tell you how to live your life. Your inner voice must be the strongest sound you hear.

The guiding card, Eight of Water, invites you to find your inner sanctuary and stay in it. Much turbulence happening outside. Best to stay within your shelter so you don’t get swept away.

The old joke, “Why was Six afraid of Seven,” shows up here to remind you that those who have never done what you’re doing will have far too much criticism for their level of knowledge. Indeed, their criticism shows that they are out of their own comfort zone when they experience yours. A fish may not comprehend flying like a bird, although they both are quite comfortable moving in their own elements. Others’ fear is not protecting you this time; it’s hindering you. Give yourself permission to fly. No one else can do that for you.

You are divinely supported and are deserving of your own confidence. When in doubt, come back to these truths. Receive the blessings you are offered, knowing you have earned them.

What is Authentic Self Realignment?

Backstory

I was talking with a friend recently and realized that when I channel something, it’s useful and meant to be what it is.

Surprising, I know. I had to laugh at how complicated I had made yet another aspect of my life. Honestly, though, I was relieved by the answer.

When I first channeled the Authentic Self Realignment Protocol, I was not nervous about unveiling it. Everything in it made sense. I used it on myself with great results. I even found other people to test it on, and it worked for them.

And then I got into worry. My abundance blocks prevented me from sharing it. And because I didn’t share it, no one else scheduled it. My fear became a self-fulfilling prophecy and I focused on something I felt more comfortable doing. I dove back into doing general energy sessions, massage, and just living life. I wasn’t ready for this then. But the Universe knew that I would be ready later. I spent months working through the things that were holding me back, allowing the answers to come in due time when it wasn’t so scary.

Fast forward to last week, and I again asked for guidance on my offerings. Authenticity as a theme came up, and I immediately thought of my original channeled protocol.

So what is Authentic Self Realignment?

ASR is an energy session designed to clear out expectations, identities, contracts, entities, and other blocks that overshadow or prevent us from truly living the life we are here to live.

Using several accumulated tools to address each aspect as needed, we peel away the layers of a life that is not meant for you and allow you to come back to your innate truth.

The inner world is what manifests the outer world, so clearing energetic clutter is essential to taking the actions needed to change your life.

How to determine whether this is for you:

->You aren’t seeing the path forward, or opportunities just aren’t showing up when you ask for them

->You feel like you’re “stuck”

->You realize there is a different way of living, and you’re motivated to get there

If this sounds like what you’re experiencing, book a session and let’s get started.

Fair Warning

Like with my journey of channeling this service, as things are uncovered, you will be called upon to do your inner work. You may need several sessions to uncover all the layers, or you may need other supports as you are called to develop your gifts. You will absolutely need to be gentle with yourself through your process. Your life may shift in big ways.

Big shifts deserve the patience and dedication required to get to big results. You’re worth the time and energy you need to transform your life into something you feel good about.

Collective Reading September 8-14: Balance in Changing Times

The Magus, or Magician, takes center stage this week for the theme of self-empowerment through change, as seen in the guiding card, The Universe.

Maybe you never believed you create your own reality because you couldn’t imagine signing up for the things you’ve experienced.

Not everything you experienced was of your making, granted, but your perception of and response to it is something you can control.

Given the proper tools, you have the ability to shape your path and walk it, too. Some such tools are discernment, patience, connection to Source, knowing what questions to ask when. Sometimes the next move is to continue walking forward, and sometimes the next move is to pause.

If you are firmly grounded in the belief, or vibration, of success, you will identify and be drawn to success. The exact steps don’t matter nearly as much as planting your feet on the surface that feels the most right. You aren’t going to stay there forever. Something else will come along, seemingly out of nowhere, and then you will have another opportunity to let your imagination build on your positive dreams.

Keep your balance in the shifts by balancing determination with curiosity and humor. Just because you are mighty does not mean you cannot be silly, too. The Universe thrives on fun and chaos just as much as it does diligence and honor. When the going gets tough, make light of it. Then continue to the next step with the lightness you’ve gained. A spring in your step helps you reach higher places, after all.

There will be opportunities to burn away the dross this week. For some that may mean getting rid of clutter, for others it may mean letting go of identities and history that does not serve your highest good. You get to rewrite the story of who you are because no one story could ever cover all there is to you. Make a new choice and practice that choice consistently, and you will get different results. Rather like listening for echoes in a cave, your actions will bounce results back to you in a delayed fashion, so give your new actions time to bounce back, and give the old echoes time to die away. You’re doing the right things, so keep at it.

Ultimately, the entirety of this phase in your life is one of growth, purification, and creation, and that is what you came for. It wouldn’t be fun to get to the end of it without having experienced the joy and excitement of the journey. Enjoy it by trusting that everything works out perfectly according to your true, deep desires. If you knew the end result were good, you would walk with more confidence. Start walking with that confidence as soon as you can, and watch how it changes your perceptions.

You truly do have everything you need, so dream big and live well.

Collective Reading September 1-7: Run the Gauntlet

This week we have the opportunity to find out.

I hear the words, “Run the gauntlet.” A traditional running of the gauntlet was a ritualistic offering rather like releasing the over-abundance of a catch. The image I am getting with the phrase is of throwing back the fish that are too small, or releasing prisoners who had enough courage to dare to be free–or die trying.

We are the ones who survived and are now given the chance to escape. Will survivor guilt hold you back from claiming the opportunity that is yours?

There is no fairness in this predicament, when seen from this vantage point. You demand justice and equity for all. But if you don’t get out of harm’s way and return home to regain your strength (and reinforcements), who will come back to jailbreak those who can’t leave? Can you lift others to higher ground when you are not strong?

Survivor guilt robs you of the drive to succeed. And the irony is that you don’t need to see others with this lens of pity. We are each runners of our own gauntlet. This chance you have has nothing to do with anyone else, and vice versa. You manifested an opportunity for a better way of being, which was the whole point of your journey anyway. Trust that they have every opportunity to do the same.

You do not know what is behind the failures and successes of others. Pity robs them of their resilience and honor. Allow for things to be unfair now, and know that you have great ability to offer a helping hand when the timing is right, but the timing isn’t always right. You are not less good or less worthy when you are unable to be of use. This is a time for you to receive and still be worthy.

Four of Earth cautions you to first turn the key in the lock, and then try the handle. You can open the door easily if you open it the right way. You don’t need to turn yourself into a battering ram.

Remember that your abundance feels like coming home. Your harvest is the fruit of your labors, and you have earned it. Even if you are tired or lacking drive now, your past efforts still have value. You will be able to give again when you have accumulated the strength and wisdom to do so.

Believe in your worthiness to receive good things and you will find the easy path through the gauntlet. It will work out the way you are ready for.

Live long and well,

Elihu John

Channeling How-To: A Loose Guide

In my small group meeting this week, Dreamscaping: Connecting to Your Intuition Through Art, the topic of how to get into channeling mode came up, and I thought I would share it here. There are a lot of ways to tap into our intuition. I like to start with a guided meditation when I lead, but what if you’re doing it on your own? What if, when you complete a session in group, you want to go deeper into the information you received? Here is a handy guide.

Step One: Set aside some time when you will likely not be disturbed and gather your tools (pen and paper work great). 10-15 minutes is enough. Set a time limit for getting clear in your energy (5 minutes), but allow for surrender to how the session plays out. You may tap into another one of your clair senses, or you may need the relaxation more than the answers, and that’s okay. As long as you feel calm and content, that’s all you need to be.

Step Two: Clear your energy. Get into a quiet headspace using one or more of the following:

-sage and/or palo santo

-light a candle

-breathing techniques (box breathing, yoga or meditation breathing)

-healing music (chanting, Riverdancing, or other cultural music traditions are great as they are designed to help with aligning body and mind)

-sipping tea and/or eating a snack

-fidgeting or spinning in a chair (this is a body regulation technique and is valid)

Step Three: When you feel ready, pull up your paper and start creating. You may choose to put a date and a prompt on the top to focus your energy. Set the intention that what you create is from the highest source, in the highest good of all. Create a circle or a box on the paper for extra focus and protection. Draw or create without judgment.

Step Four: Automatic Writing. Start writing (or typing) and allow what comes to just be. Don’t edit. Don’t think. Feel interested. If it’s not right later, you can go back and revise, but these tend to be more correct the less you mess with them. When writing, you may start with “I don’t know what this is,” or ask a question in Q & A form: “What is the significance of this symbol?” “Why is this important?”

Step Five: Finish and close. When the time is done, step back and give yourself praise for finishing the task, no matter how it looks. Your boundary on setting aside only that time will also allow you to trust yourself to keep within your intentions, which will help you get in the zone next time, knowing that you can get out of it when expected (no guilt!). As you reinforce positive thinking, your abilities will come out of the woodwork more freely. A helpful mantra: “I did a great job, and I am satisfied with this practice session.” “If I don’t understand it now, I can receive more info as I stay in contentment.”

Don’t be surprised if more comes to light over time, or if certain words or symbols mean more things on more levels. It’s okay to laugh when it hits you, too. This is supposed to be healing and fun.

End the session in gratitude, place your paper in a designated place (a journal, folder, or binder work great), and carry on with your day/night.

Collective Reading August 25-31: Dig In

Duality has always been a part of this Earth experience, and your current experiment in life is no exception. Light and dark, known and unknown, success and failure all add to your understanding and ability to navigate life.

What used to work for you is no longer working. But that’s nothing new. You are by now accustomed to having to change things up in your routine and mindset to get to the end goal. And you’ve had to learn how to navigate sticky situations with grace and patience.

All of this has built confidence and trust in your Higher Self, as well as in who you’re showing up as now. Don’t underestimate the power of taking the next right step and believing in your vision until you gain traction.

You have to know what doesn’t work in order to fix it. You have to find the problem before you can fix it. This week is demanding patience and self-love as you discover the unsavory results of your previous actions and habits.

You truly didn’t know better. How could you, having never been taught? But now you do, and because you are committed to excellence, this knowledge is fueling your desire to do better–and attain success.

Those who never try will never understand the cost of success. Nor will they attain it, because they have not put forward the energy that feeds the momentum. All they can do is wonder and talk. Only you know how long the road has already been. You have a great track record when it comes to breakthroughs and perseverance, though, so don’t worry about whether you get there. You will.

Reconnect with your vision regularly this week. Sit in silence, go for a walk, listen to music that urges you to tap along. When you are tired, take some slow, deep breaths. When you are overwhelmed, slow down and break the task into manageable smaller tasks. As soon as you catch yourself worrying, find something else to focus on that connects you to your senses. Smell the roses, or make yourself eat something nutritious. Get out of your head and just be.

This doesn’t feel like a particularly light week. But it is one that can propel you further than most if you dig your cleats in and push forward. Release the outcome and let it show up exactly how you need it.

You are divinely watched over, so just be present and do your part. You will get through this.

With Love,

Elihu John

Collective Reading August 18-24: Forward to Victory

When you know more, you can act from a place of more wisdom.

This week is about that balance between gaining knowledge and reaching into the unknown. It’s like you’ve learned how to use math formulas to calculate the outcome rather than just guessing. There will be new variables, but your formulas are more accurate now. Your past experiences have percolated into clarity.

20/20 hindsight is not the same as seeing everything ahead. At some point, you have to learn how to trust your own calculations and take the unknowns in stride. Your cause-and-effect brain is reorganizing through this shift, so if you’re acting in a more aligned way despite the unknowns, it’s because you’re using a better internal guidance system. It’s not a fluke.

Much of what has been happening on Earth in the last few weeks (years, if we’re being accurate) has been a recalibration of human software. We are shifting to higher timelines, upgrading anti-virus software, and expanding consciousness. This is all necessary.

What we don’t often see is the work being done behind the scenes. Trust that as you move forward, doors will open before you and close behind you. Your job is to just do what you’re supposed to do. You don’t have to carry the responsibility of anyone else.

Speaking of which, if you feel over-burdened, you may be carrying something that isn’t yours. Let that go in gratitude. If you feel overwhelmed, ask your inner guidance if the action you’re trying to complete is in divine timing. It’s okay to change your scope. Better to carry a load to the destination than spill what you’re carrying before getting to the end.

Even if you do spill, it’s going to be okay. You can recover.

The Chariot card reminds you that a step forward in any direction is still going to drive the mission forward. Someone else on your team may need to course correct, and you may receive some coaching, but that next step in an even better direction will never happen if you don’t take the one before it.

You’ve got this. The Universe has your back. Be optimistic and curious about how to move forward, and your energy will align with your beautiful future.

With love,

Elihu John

Collective Reading August 11-17: Paths Diverge

You have reached the apex of this cycle of change, and are now ready to pick up momentum in your new direction. Expect things to improve and get easier quickly. You are no longer pushing your bike up the hill.

Everything that is coming to the surface is an image of what has already manifested. Sometimes we as humans don’t see just how bad it was until we get some distance from it. Now that you have that distance, you are invited to accept and recognize the experience for what it is. Be ruthless in your quest for truth, and fierce in your commitment to love.

Acceptance is the first step in changing what happens next. Acceptance involves believing what you perceive, and separating it from the assumptions you previously accepted as truth. An example of this would be realizing that you and someone you love do not agree on what movie to watch, and rather than continuing to believe someone is at fault and should change, you realize that you simply have different interests. If you don’t have to change your preferences to be loved, and they can keep theirs intact with dignity, you can come up with a compromise that allows each person to watch their own movie and spend time together doing something else.

When people can play together without having to play the same note, there is harmony. When realities diverge to the point of having no overlapping truths, the natural effect is separation. Let go of what does not serve you, and you will find more space for what does. It is okay to acknowledge that someone else is having a different experience of reality without you having to change yours, and vice versa.

In order to manifest the life you want, you must be unyielding in your dedication to your truth. You must set your sights on the beauty you wish to experience and act in a way that allows for it to show up.

Call a spade a spade, and then pick it up and use it to dig your garden. Everything that you experience is useful to identify what you do and do not want, so you know what direction to pursue. And when you know better, do better. Don’t worry about fault.

You are doing good work and it is paying off, even if you’re not seeing it yet. This divergence from what you knew will lead you to convergence with your beautiful new life and community. Keep going.

With love,

Elihu John

Collective Reading August 4-10: Shifting Tides

The Tower is joined by three more major arcana cards, a 10, a 4, an 8, and a 1. This is big stuff, so if you’re tired, take a breather when you can.

Allow the Earth to shift. Allow your energy to flow. This is a week of holding the vision of positive change and trusting that process.

When you worry about something, you’re manifesting it going wrong. When you stay optimistic, what you manifest is good. You are the captain of your own ship, and you get to decide whether everything turns out right. That does not mean you know how that needs to happen. Save yourself the stress by being flexible and letting go of the details.

Your intentions are the most important factor in what you experience next. Pay attention to them. Clean up your vibration and acknowledge when you need to change your intent. It’s okay to admit when you’re stuck in unhelpful expressions of your deepest desires.

You’ve been living in a dog eat dog world for so long that it is hard to imagine a world completely without it. But you held out hope, and created little pockets of peace wherever you could. You accepted what you had to, uneasily, and swallowed your pride and your protests. Still, these protests never really left you. It sometimes felt like your only real option was to continue living in competition. And you made do. But accepting competition caused more distress, even as it relieved the pressure to provide for your needs. Did you limit your success in order to give voice to that rejection of competition?

Competition mindset can only turn into abundance and collaboration if we can see the root issue that led us to believe we had to compete for resources in the first place. The system is designed to weed people out on so many levels. Survival of the fittest is ingrained in every mind and leaves little room for mercy, or trying again.

Your rejection of the way things have been is critical in solving the problem. You have already made a difference, simply by acknowledging in yourself that something wasn’t right. Now, as the breakdown of the foundation of systemic lack is accelerated into a full shift into peace, we are all asked to go deeper. What do you really want, and how do you imagine that playing out for the highest good of all? When you have that answer, the only way forward is to actually take steps. Just do what you can, and the next step will become closer.

There are many ways to proceed, and many factors at play in this shift back into abundance. Having abundance and community matters. Your life matters. Your joy matters. Your success in bringing about the highest good of all matters. And every well-intended effort will make a difference, because even if you fail, you fail forward. Come back to love when you feel confused or overwhelmed. If you don’t know the next step, sit in quiet until you do. Keep your heart open to keep love and energy flowing. That is your main job.

Consider that your momentum, and the collective momentum of all these souls incarnated and working behind the scenes, has already built a wave so massive that even if you manage to mess things up temporarily, it will right itself as you steer the ship back into the wave. You cannot single-handedly stop the ocean from churning, and you cannot stop this change, either.

It’s all going to be alright. Trust breeds trust, in this case. Use your mantras. You are not working alone, and you have every resource you need in reach, as you need it. Have faith.

With love,

-Elihu John

Collective Reading July 28-August 3: Power in the Higher Self

This week we renegotiate our relationship with our own empowerment. From our Higher Self comes the call to remember who we are, and remember how powerful we are.

One of Fire/Wands is supported by One of Earth/Pentacles. This means potential for material gain as we continue exercising our personal power in the way that is aligned with our Highest Self.

Be aware that your intention energy is the key to really settling into your success. Your manifestations, or the things that show up in response to your energy output, are tools to purify your intentions.

If nothing that happened in this world mattered in the long term, what kinds of mistakes would you make as you fail forward?

I know that you are trying to make every effort a well thought out and successful one, but the truth is that perfect is the enemy of done, and getting feedback is the single fastest way to have the knowledge you need. There is a solution built in to every problem, and mistakes aren’t going to last the same way they did before.

Call upon your Higher Self, your guides, the Universe of Light, or whatever higher power you feel trust in this week. Ask for them to smooth the path before you, resolve things you cannot fix, correct you gently when you are wrong, and otherwise support you.

The Emperor is all about personal empowerment, so start naming the ways in which you are empowered. This brings your attention to a productive line of thought and calls more of it to you.

You’re going to want to rethink what you can give and receive. Are you feeling generous or people-pleasing? Are you feeling stingy or scared of running out? Identify fear-based decisions and step into courageous amd logical decisions. Be solution-oriented, affirming of your efforts and successes (and those of others), and keep moving forward in enjoyment and gratitude.

Obviously, this isn’t a time to throw wisdom away. 5 of Earth reminds you that wise generosity will put everything into order, whereas impulsivity causes stressful moments afterward which then block the flow of abundance. You have to keep pedaling the bike in order for the momentum to keep building, so if the answer is “not yet,” honor that. The pieces of the puzzle are more moveable than you can see at first. Connect them clearly, like the lines between the stars in the rectangle, and you will find that they make a thorough and easy to follow path.

Remember that there are helpful elements you cannot see, as the fifth star above the other four shows in Five of Earth. As above, so below. Do your own work, and ask for and allow your community to do theirs. It all adds up. Two of Water emphasizes the give and take of reciprocal relationships built on good will and generosity. Don’t write negative scripts for people that gunk up their ability to show up, just because you’ve been burned before. The people who are your people just want to show up and do their thing in peace. Let them, and then identify and express gratitude for it. Doing so will confirm your hunches about people, or give you new info that you can use going forward. There is no loss in this.

Lastly, have a great week, trusting that everything is working out for you in exactly the way you need, even if you can’t see how yet.

With love,

-Elihu John
