General Reading for August 6-12: The Finish Line

What good is emotional maturity if you never use it?

All the work you have been doing lately to build up your own character has been a means to an end–although it is nice to recall that growth is the goal of the journey in some ways. But that is beside the point. Right now, the Universe of Light urges you to give in to your deep desire to complete the task at hand.

Do the work. Complete the goal. Close the deal. You have been so weary of always searching and never finding. You have been painting a mural but losing sight of the blueprint. It’s as if you have gotten so lost in the weeds that you cannot remember what it feels like to know where you’re at. That mindset has its place in the long slog, but not at the finish line.

You are in sight of the finish line. In the past, you have relied on people cheering you from the sidelines, holding your vision as you trudged on blind. Now, you must awaken your inner vision and let it ignite you again. Remember why you started this in the first place. Remember what it feels like to succeed. You need that feeling to cross the finish line. Open your inner eyes and focus on the goal. It’s nice to have people cheering, but remember that you were the one who asked them to come cheer, not the other way around. Give them a good show.

The Universe knows you’re tired. It has witnessed every step you’ve taken. All it asks is that you set aside the tiredness and focus on the energy within you. Remember: you are an infinite being. You put on tiredness like a coat. You can take it off, when you reconnect with your Highest Self. You can put on any mood or energy in the Universe, without having your circumstances reflect it in the least. You just have to find the frequency or feeling of what you want.

In order to find the frequency, do something you love. You may be out of routine, or far away from something that you normally have at your fingertips. Spend that time you have been obligated to take cooling your heels doing what you can. Instead of moping about missed opportunities or a messed up schedule, check off your to do list in other ways. Find the aspect(s) of your life that you’ve been neglecting, and put your suddenly free energies to good use. Don’t waste time. Charge forward. This is the sprint at the end of the race, and it’s going to feel different. When you get across that finish line, that feeling is going to change again.

Maybe you can’t believe there are different ways to feel just yet, but remember that belief is what you have when you don’t know. And remember that there are people who have already crossed their finish lines and know how possible it is. Just because you can’t see it from here doesn’t mean it’s imaginary. Go prove that belief right.

General Reading for July 30-August 5: Full Moon Release of the Wounded Ego

This week the moon becomes full, which both prompts us to release and gives us the energy to do so. Like the tide rising higher with every wave, the volume on our Highest Selves’ connection to our current Selves is turning up, and we are encouraged more and more loudly to pay attention.

Pick up the phone, already. The message and messenger aren’t as scary as you’re assuming them to be. Honestly, your Highest Self just wants you to be happy. It wants you to act like you, to be authentic, and to shed your light in this world. It wants everything to feel delicious to you.

It’s time to let go of the things that hold you back. You have heard this message before, and you have done well shedding the layers you were ready to shed. The Death Card is just another loop in your upward spiral. It’s not some earth-shattering sacrifice, or some catastrophic event. It’s just you, realizing ways to be more happy on a level that you will be relieved to FINALLY feel the success of.

It is time to discard the drama. If your entire journey felt like a series of huge transformations, you would burn out and not want to experience it. The changes could feel scary as you face the unknown from a position of utter ungroundedness and uncertainty. This is one mindset you can definitely shed with this full moon.

The art of trusting the next step to be exactly what you need, and for it to be pleasant, if surprising, is a necessary skill for long-term success. Success doesn’t have to be fraught with peril and adventure; it can be slow, steady progress, with the assurance that all will be well, is well, and has been well.

This next step feels like coming home. It may feel a bit foreign from what you have experienced recently, but the gut reaction is, “I can’t believe I forgot how good this feels.”

This is next step is a homecoming. The people and places and packages and letters that collected while you were away are so happy to see you.

It is time to learn again how to receive in a way that does not feel like pain or paying for it later. I was thinking about how this feels like the Knight of Cups on his way home, carefully holding his precious chalice which he filled on his journey, and sure enough, when I checked the card spread again, we have Water Brother, the equivalent of the Knight of Cups.

The difference is that Water Brother depicts a surrender to full-body feeling akin to a Kundalini experience. There is this sense of unstoppable, glorious flow of energy. It purifies the entirety of one’s being, and washes away wounded ego as it proclaims to the world, “I AM.” This healed, perfect ego, is so large, so magnetic, and so prolific that the physical vessel cannot contain it. It identifies as Self, but looks and acts like Universe. It is a glorious paradox.

The longer you resist, the more blatantly you are shown that, step by step, you have come home to your true nature, your true connection to All That Is. Might as well just accept it at this point, dear one. We need you to focus on bigger things now, as doing so will feed not only your soul, but the souls of all around you. We are happy to have you home.

Energy-Integrative Massage general information

What Is Energy-Integrated Massage?

Reiki and other energy medicine techniques are possible to do without touch. This is called distance work. Thanks to the properties of quantum physics, people and energies can interact without being physically touching, or even in the same place. Much like speaking on the telephone, bluetooth connections, or that intuitive feeling when you know that someone is thinking of you, distance healing connects people on an invisible frequency that can be accessed and sensed with the proper attunement and practice.

When I started practicing energy medicine, I learned the hands-off approach, as well as hands-on Reiki. However, while I enjoy working distance, I found that my skills were put to even better use when combined with massage techniques. I started self-study, based on what worked for me and my friends and family, and decided whole-heartedly to jump into massage school to learn even more. It was 100% worth doing.

Sometimes my client sessions follow traditional strokes, as in Swedish effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, compression, jostling, etc. And other times, they are more about holding space and being present with a past traumatic event. Breathwork, guided visualization, intuitive or angelic messages, and yes, the channeling of Reiki energy are integrated into working with the soft tissues of the body.

Because I have learned a wide variety of tools, and work with divine beings who use even more tools than I do, I have had the opportunity to work with an array of unique and fascinating challenges. I am equal parts excited to dive in, and empathetic towards the frustration, struggle, and pain involved with true healing. I love my work, and I love that feeling when relief finally arrives. There is nothing like going home after a successful session and knowing that I’m right where I’m supposed to be, doing what I was meant to do.

Integrating energy work and massage opens up a whole world of effective therapy. Separately, each modality has a powerful influence on healing, but together, they address the whole self on a deeper level. Book a session and see what I can do for you.
