The Seven of Wands in the Tarot reminds us that it is okay to set boundaries. It's important and our right to protect our space, our time and our energy.

How can we remain in our body, and feel all the nuances that keep us alive, by using our intuition and instinct? We do this by staying in our body, and not letting our mind take over.
The mind has its place, but the instinct we feel in our body keeps us alive. It keeps us in the flow of who we are, with the knowledge we can handle situations as they come. It gives us confidence, since we are not overthinking or hesitating at every turn.
When we become disconnected from ourselves and our bodies, we don’t sense our numbness. The mind can control us, strategizing, planning and taking over as it likes to do. That is when we lose our intuition and stop listening to the cues life gives us. When our mind is in overdrive, we get defensive, rationalize behaviors and plan our “next move,” always striving to win.
If we are taught by others to not speak out for fear of negative consequences, we may experience a freeze response in our body. We shut down, and allow our mind to tell us to numb out.
Although the mind has its place in planning, it shouldn’t take over our intuition or natural emotions. The freeze response prevents us from reacting appropriately, and later on, we experience regrets and think that we didn’t act authentically.
When our energy is flowing properly, there are many benefits. We sleep better because our minds are not racing int he middle of the night, and we are not overwhelmed or triggered. According to Louise Hay, digestion problems can arise from us not taking life in and processing it properly. The body needs to be connected to all aspects of our lives.
Moving our bodies around helps, because it activates stagnant energy. During the day when you feel overwhelmed from overthinking, just get up and move around. Mantras to meditate with could be, “I am trusting and staying in my body”, “I am listening to my intuition, remaining in the flow,” “I am being real and honest with myself,” and “I am not letting my mind play tricks on me.”
I hope this message brings you flow, focus and freedom to be you.

Since ancient days, trees represent life, growth, wisdom, prosperity and protection. As we see the trees reach upward, we are reminded of our own journey of gaining wisdom and reaching upward, growing personally and spiritually.
Surrounded by the stillness of the forest, we become aware of the grandness and interconnectivity of all of life, including our own.

The full moon sheds light on our lives and shows us what we need to release and change to move forward. With the moon in Scorpio, it takes on scorpion characteristics.

Do you find you get triggered by other people, by things that don’t even matter, or may not affect you?
Watch my video and get my perspective on how focusing on other people, and not ourselves, keeps us from getting what we want. By suppressing our emotions, we look outward for answers we will never get, and it stops us from living the best, evolved version of ourselves.

I asked the Tarot for inspiration for this video, and I got the World Card. The World Card is the last card of the Major Arcana (which represents our life journey). I give a super quick overview of how an end of a life cycle can be a time to rest, process and get ready for a new period in our lives.
I hope this resonates with you 😊

In the tarot, the Strength Card depicts a woman standing next to a magnificent golden lion, her hand trustfully resting on his massive teeth. But why?
It is because she has no fear, the goodness of the lion’s heart is more powerful than the instinct to destroy. The natural impulse has been tamed by her trust.
Interestingly, the lion is not an external animal she needs to tame, but instead, the lion represents her own inner strength. It’s the lion within.
When the lion is not tamed, we see the fighting (especially on social media - anyone know of “keyboard warriors?”), the attempts to embarrass people, to dominate over other people’s sovereignty.
People are fighting personal and professional wars, trying to one-up each other. They may form alliances against their adversaries, create harsh boundaries, and are not willing to listen or compromise. Oftentimes, holding grudges and keeping score.
However, true, authentic strength comes from within. Once we tap into our own inner strength, and continually practice it (and it is tough to do), we create self control, balance, understanding, patience and kindness.
This is when we find courage, awareness, and the knowledge that we can handle whatever comes our way. We are then no longer afraid, needing to search outward for validation. We don’t need to prove ourselves. We no longer need to live in defense mode, in search for battles that don’t need to exist.
And with that, we will have have won.
