Self-Care
Empower Your Day With A 5-Minute Morning Routine
Navigating modern life can be daunting these days, especially when juggling a business or career, family responsibilities, social commitments and personal and spiritual self-care (if there is any time left for such a ‘luxury’).
Some days can feel like an endless climb, a never-ending hamster wheel. But I have learned that even the smallest adjustments in your lifestyle can invoke the most profound changes.
A spiritual self-care strategy that has worked wonders for me is my simple five-minute morning routine. It has transformed not only my personal life but also my psychic practice in ways I never imagined.
As a passionate artist and psychic professional, I often found myself feeling a little overwhelmed and scattered. Many of my mornings used to be chaotic and my energy was often all over the place, typically setting a stressful tone for the rest of my day.
I was desperate for a change. I needed a way to stay centered, focused and productive without adding more time demands and complexity to my already busy schedule.
Then it hit me: why not try a quick morning routine designed to centre and ground me, cleanse and shield my energy, and set positive intentions for the day ahead?
The morning is a particularly powerful time to practice such a routine, I thought. How we start our day obviously sets the tone for the hours that follow. A positive, focused start, empowered by a mindful soul connection to Spirit and the Divine, can only set the stage for an empowering and fulfilling day, while a chaotic, disconnected start only leads to stress, inefficiency and negativity. So, I decided to give it a go and have not looked back since.
Tarot Forecast July 2024: The Tower
This month’s card is the Tower, which predicts the energies of disruption, revelation, transformation and the breaking down of old structures.
The Tower card is a powerful symbol of sudden upheaval and change. It’s traditionally depicted as a tall tower struck by lightning, representing chaos and upheaval. It represents life throwing us a curveball.
As lightning strikes and flames dismantle the old structure, it forces us to confront our foundations and belief systems. While painful, this destruction can lead to necessary revelations and a chance to rebuild on a stronger foundation. By letting go of what no longer serves you, you open yourself up to new possibilities.
The Tower showing up in a reading, though scary and troubling at first glance, always precedes a period of significant growth. Destruction creates opportunity. Most situations we face are opportunities, even the bad ones. It’s all about the opportunity and how you see it.
Embracing chaos will be the key to clarity and growth this month. This is a time to rebuild and redesign your life in a way that is more in line with your true self.
Approach the month with an open heart and a willingness to let go of what no longer serves you. Whether it’s health, finances, career, relationships or personal growth, the Tower’s influence will lead you to a more liberated and empowered version of yourself. Trust the transformative power of the Tower. Embrace the changes and you will emerge from this month stronger, wiser and more in alignment with your true self.
Astrology Forecast July 1 – 7, 2024
This week’s astrological highlights include Neptune going retrograde, Mercury moving into Leo, and a Cancer New Moon on Friday.
With all these changes happening this week, we may want to be mindful and pay attention as our moods and energies shift almost daily.
Luckily, the week starts off with a sensible Taurus Moon today, allowing us to maximize our productivity before things become both intensly introspective and contemplative, yet also expressive and dramatic, starting tomorrow.
This aspect provides a grounding and stabilizing influence today, fostering a calm, balanced mindset that encourages practical action and a more pragmatic focus. Use this lunar influence to establish a routine for the rest of the week, organize your schedule, and take care of outstanding financial matters.
Tomorrow is the most cosmically significant day of the week, as both Neptune goes retrograde and Mercury enters Leo.
Neptune’s retrograde will encourage introspection and a reevaluation of our dreams, delusions, assumptions and beliefs. Over the next five and a half months, until December 7th, the veil between reality and fantasy will thin, leading us to confront truths we may have avoided until now. It will be a time of inner exploration, uncovering hidden motivations and dispelling unrealistic expectations.
Astrology Forecast June 24 – 30, 2024
How we express ourselves this week will reveal whether or not people are listening, as the Aquarius Moon today and tomorrow encourages us to be more assertive and clear in our communication. We all have different styles, but if you feel like no one is listening, it’s time to explore alternative ways of getting your message across.
With the Moon in Aquarius, you may also feel a shift towards a more rational and detached approach to your emotions. The energy of this aspect encourages innovative thinking and a strong desire for independence.
You may be drawn to unconventional ideas and new technologies today, feeling less bound by traditional norms. It’s an excellent time to embrace change, explore new hobbies and connect with like-minded people who share your forward-thinking outlook.
Social and humanitarian interests also come to the fore under this lunar influence. Engaging in group activities or community projects today and tomorrow will bring a sense of fulfillment and purpose. Relationships may take on a more intellectual and less emotionally intense tone, valuing mutual respect and personal freedom. Use this time to think creatively, plan for the future and challenge the status quo, making sure to balance your need for independence with your need to connect with others.
Our most productive days of the week will be Friday and Saturday under the Aries Moon, when our energy returns and our resolve expands. An Aries Moon greatly increases productivity by giving us high energy, motivation, and a proactive mindset. This lunar influence encourages quick decision-making, assertiveness, and a strong drive to start and complete tasks efficiently.
Comforting Spirit Whispers From Heaven
Connecting with our loved ones in heaven is a deeply personal and spiritual experience that brings comfort and healing to many believers. Whether through dreams, signs, mediumship readings, or quiet moments of reflection, knowing that our departed loved ones are still with us in some way provides profound comfort, peace, and hope.
Signs, dreams, messages, and other forms of contact from the afterlife are essential to grieving, healing, and accepting the loss of loved ones for several psychological, emotional, and spiritual reasons.
Encounters with the deceased occur in all states of consciousness: while dreaming, while awake, in altered states of consciousness, in various circumstances, and before, during, and after death. According to a 1977 study, a significant portion of the bereaved, estimated at 40% to 50%, experience such phenomena. These experiences help maintain an ongoing sense of connection with the deceased, which can be comforting and provide a sense of a continuing relationship even after death.
Dreams, signs and mediumship can all bring a sense of peace, love, and reassurance to the bereaved, easing the emotional pain associated with loss. Receiving messages from a loved one can also provide a sense of closure or resolve unresolved feelings and unfinished business, which is essential for moving forward.
The Mystical Healing Properties Of Amethyst
Amethyst, an enchanting purple variety of quartz crystal, is celebrated not only for its stunning beauty but also for its powerful metaphysical properties.
Traditionally held in high regard as a spiritual and esoteric tool, this semi-precious gemstone is revered for its potent energy and versatile healing properties.
The captivating purple crystal is associated with the third eye and crown chakras, making it a powerful aid in enhancing spiritual awareness and deepening meditative states. Its calming presence also helps to quiet the mind, promoting a sense of inner peace and emotional balance, which is essential for spiritual growth and clarity.
Amethyst is also known for its protective qualities, shielding the user from negative energies and psychic attacks while fostering a connection to higher consciousness and universal wisdom. Whether used in meditation, healing rituals, or simply carried as a talisman, the amethyst serves as a trusted companion on the journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.
As a psychic practitioner, I’ve always felt a deep, almost magnetic affinity for amethyst in both my personal spiritual practice and my professional psychic work. This beautiful violet crystal has a calming energy that enhances my psychic awareness and helps me achieve a sense of inner serenity for connecting with the spiritual realm.
When I hold Amethyst, I feel a heightened sense of clarity and insight, as if the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is gently lifted. Its calming energy helps me stay centered during readings, allowing me to channel messages with greater precision and compassion.
