The Key To Finding Yourself – Monday Oracle 3 July 2017

“Life is painful and messed up. It gets complicated at the worst of times, and sometimes you have no idea where to go or what to do. Lots of times people just let themselves get lost, dropping into a wide open, huge abyss. But that’s why we have to keep trying. We have to push through all that hurts us, work past all our memories that are haunting us. Sometimes the things that hurt us are the things that make us strongest. A life without experience, in my opinion, is no life at all. And that’s why I tell everyone that, even when it hurts, never stop yourself from living.”

Hello, Lovelies!

Here’s the oracle card I have chosen this Monday, and my take on the energetic outlook for the week ahead. I use any oracle or tarot cards shown as a prompt for channelled messages and my own intuitive wisdom, so my take is sometimes quite different to the meaning found in a book. ‘Recovery’ is from the Chakra Wisdom Oracle Deck by Tori Hartman.

If you read my forecast for July, you’ll remember that July helps us to see our place within the bigger scheme of things. It supports love, connection and community and warrants some quiet time this month with loved ones.

Let’s look at the gifts Recovery brings us this week.

Have you ever felt like you have lost an important part of you? Or lost your direction? Your sense of self?

This week a kind of magic happens. Parts of us begin to return. It might be a song on the radio that prompts us to remember who we were when we first heard that tune. ‘That’s right,’ we’ll say. ‘I used to love this song. And dancing. And the colour red. I remember…’ And just like that we’ll go buy a red lipstick, dig out our dancing shoes and say ‘Screw you!’ to the relationship that has kept us small so long. ‘See ya!’ we yell as the door bangs shut behind us and we run forward to a new life.

It might not be that dramatic. But on the other hand, it may well be a game-changing week.

So many messages of support, change and clarity will find their way to us this week. So much perspective. So much forgiveness of self. So much acceptance of what is. So much understanding that it’s not too late. That we can still live a life that has meaning and beauty for us.

What a relief! It’s like we’ve just lived through a giant upgrade and now the Universe is handing us the keys to this enhanced and expanded self.

We begin to see the wisdom we have gained through our mistakes and our suffering. We begin to understand that we are the sum of all of these things that we have lived and that help define us. There is an entire dress-up box of experiences, preferences and talents at our disposal from the many moments that make up our life to this point in time. We can choose any or all of them. We are made beautiful by every single thing we have lived through.

This is a week to begin to own the magnificent truth of who you are, and to begin to get clear about what comes next for you.

Supportive crystals this week?

Yellow Turquoise opens our hearts and helps us to heal from old hurts, enabling us to love again – especially ourselves. Blue Obsidian gives us mental clarity and self-awareness, strengthening our ability to communicate and connect. Black Tourmaline is great for helping us to see where we need to set boundaries. Amazonite provides us with courage and a sense of optimism and adventure.

Helpful essential oils?

Young Living’s Awaken essential oil blend, or a combination (or singly!) of any of Geranium, Frankincense, Lavender and Orange. Awaken essential oil blend smells sweet and woody and can be worn as a perfume (Place on wrists, over heart and on back of neck) or used in a diffuser. A few drops in the bath are heavenly too. It’s a great oil to get you out of your head and into your heartspace. It promotes spiritual connection and intuition and is deeply calming. I love this oil, and it’s my oil of choice in my diffuser this week. You can find all the oils here.

Holding you, as always, in my thoughts, prayers and meditations, and intending for a you a life of abundance and joy, where you are no longer limited by your doubts.

All my love,

Nicole ❤ xx
