Greetings it is our mid monthcheck-in and we are working with
the energy of the five of onesthis month, June 20, 24.
Or perhaps you are, whenever youare hearing this episode.
The five of wands is all aboutfocus.
It's all about a reminder to bewhere your feet are, where are
you?
(00:20):
Where's your head?
Where are your thoughts?
Because, wherever your thoughtsgo, that's where your energy
goes.
And if you're not.
Here.
Where your feet are.
Right now.
Then.
Other energies other people cancome in and basically you just.
Control your life.
Rather than.
You controlling your life.
(00:42):
Example.
I used to be very worried aboutwhat other people thought.
And that translated.
Down the line into being marriedto somebody who I thought I
needed to help make feel okay.
I had gotten to a place inmyself where I was very content.
I was still.
Hoping that I could change theworld by helping other people
(01:04):
become as content as I am.
What I'd still love to do that.
Of course, that's why I'm goinginto mental health counseling.
Which is a whole thing that isnot.
Being married to somebody.
Or being in a romanticrelationship with somebody.
So this person would be very,very stressed out all the time
and negative and.
(01:24):
Annoyed with life and basicallyheld this victim mentality.
I would try to do my best toshow him another way.
How can I make.
This person feel better.
But I was neglecting the fact.
That now all my energy wasfocused on him and making his
(01:45):
life better.
That mine sucked.
Because I was being manipulated.
And.
I was not in a place that Ideserve to be.
Being treated like shit.
So.
That's a pretty extreme example.
But just think about it.
Where are you right now?
(02:06):
If you are driving to work, whatare you thinking about?
Are you thinking about the factthat you're going to be working
and you're dreading it, or areyou thinking about the fact that
you're on your way to work andthat's just where you are and
it's going to be awesome.
Are you thinking about, oh, Iwish I were at home right now.
When you are at work.
do you bring your work home withyou?
Sometimes that is very easy todo.
(02:28):
Just bring it on home with you.
And let it dictate the rest ofyour day.
So be where your feet are.
That is the focus for thismonth.
And then for the mid-weekcheck-in I had two cards from
Colette Baron reads The spiritanimal Oracle.
Duck pop out.
Now, these animals are all wild,except she included cat and dog.
(02:52):
In her deck as well.
Both cat.
And dog popped out.
So I'm thinking, all right, ifyou do have a pet, I don't have
a pet at the moment.
But if you do have a pet.
use the fact that you have a petto get where your feet are.
Help them remind you.
Of presence.
I'm thinking about cats.
(03:14):
They are.
Always present aren't they.
They're usually lounging.
Are shifting.
Or sleeping.
We're scratching at you becausethey want you to pet them.
Only a particular number oftimes before they scratch at you
a little harder.
Or maybe bite.
They know who they are.
Uh, cat knows.
It's a cat.
That is absolute fact.
(03:36):
Dogs.
I've never had.
So I can't speak.
About them as much.
However, people who do have dogscertainly see that they.
Just play.
Dogs are just where they are.
They're always ready to go.
You stand up to use the bathroomor something, and they're like,
Can I come.
(03:58):
They're always just.
Ready for whatever is happening.
Cats are just lounging throughit.
We can utilize both of theseenergies in our lives.
Maybe one more than the other,some days maybe.
Both.
Let's read about what they sayin this little book, just to get
a little bit more focused.
Again, this is by Colette BaronReed.
(04:19):
It's called the spirit animalOracle.
Kat spirit says, claim yourindependence.
I will note.
Last night.
On the stage, June 15th.
So June 14th.
Was my last day.
At home Depot.
As customer experience manager.
I quit the job, not because Iwas unhappy, but because
(04:43):
something else came along, thatwas a better fit for where I'm
going with my life.
So it was very interesting.
Cat spirit, number 13, thegoddess number, claim your
independence.
One cat spirit mouse.
She is calling you to claim yourindependence and allow for some
space between you and others inyour life.
The only way you can grow in allyour relationships now is to
(05:03):
have a healthy sense ofself-respect and self-worth.
When you walk with dignity,knowing who you are, self-aware
and willing to grow, trustingthe value you bring.
The world will mirror all ofthis back to you in kind.
When you say no to codependencyand enmeshment live and let live
and practice taking risks as youwander into new territory for
(05:25):
you.
Cat spirit rejoices.
She is here to urge you to letyour independent spirit roam
free.
That is so directly aligned withthe example that I gave you
about being in that manipulativecodependent.
Kind of relationship.
Give yourself some space.
I get where your feet are, reignyour energy in.
(05:45):
Get your energy out of overthere.
Bring it in.
Let your independent spirit roomfree.
There's a protection message.
And I'll share both of them aswell for the cat.
It says this may be the time youare facing some unpredictable
situations.
Are you hesitant to take a risktoo cautious to jump into
something new because you fearyou can't trust yourself.
(06:08):
Cat spirit is saying, go for itbecause you will land on your
feet.
If nothing seems to be goingaccording to plan, there is no
reason to worry.
Kat spirit loves to mix it up.
And these seeming upsets willactually bring you some wondrous
and unexpected opportunities.
Get ready to pounce.
As you may be called to jumpinto something new at a moment's
(06:30):
notice.
At this time.
Your instincts are keen and yourintuition is sharp.
Remember.
Even a temporary failure canlead to a spectacular success.
So embrace the adventure.
You are surefooted and can trustyourself.
Let that one soak in for just amoment.
(06:51):
And then let's hear what the dogspirit wants to tell us.
Dog's spirit says be loyal towhat you love.
Dog's spirit appears to remindyou that although change is a
part of life and all of us aremeant to evolve.
Our love and commitments remainstrong.
You were loved know and cantrust that this higher love is
true.
Spirit loves you.
(07:12):
And love has arrived in manyforms.
Now manifesting in the peopleyou surround yourself with
expressed uniquely through them.
Dog's spirit also says be trueto that, which you love for now
is a time of good fortune.
The study, as you recognize thatpeople and things are always
transforming your heart isloving and true.
(07:32):
And dog spirit wants you to knowthat your steadfast commitment
to experiencing and expressinglove will attract and manifest
more.
Love.
You deserve all of it.
Have faith and spirits plan foryou.
Once again.
This is another aspect ofgetting your energy out of over
there.
Into your heart, into yourfueling of love.
(07:56):
Love is a feeling.
Think about it.
Love is a feeling.
It's not really an action.
It's how you feel about.
Somebody something.
Some.
Experience.
Love as a feeling, get yourenergy.
Out of over there.
They're not going to love you.
They're going to feel love.
(08:18):
When they're with you when youfeel love within yourself, the
protection message here.
From dog.
Loyalty to people and situationscan turn into attachment that
results in stagnation andmeasurement and loss of
integrity.
Do you fear what will happen ifyou let a relationship evolve?
Are you afraid that asking for asituation to change will make
(08:41):
others see you as this loyal?
Trust that one dog spiritappears you are meant to accept
the turning of the wheel of lifeand the changing of fortunes.
If you feel you are beingbetrayed or growing apart from
someone.
Let dog spirit reconnect youwith your commitment to love in
all its forms.
Perhaps the relationship ismeant to evolve.
(09:02):
Perhaps you are meant to evolve.
As well, so that you canexperience the growth for which
your soul learns.
Your greatest loyalty is tolove.
So be open to all its manyguises, including self-love.
You deserve the best.
And that is what spirit wantsfor you.
I'm going to reiterate this, getyour energy out of over there.
(09:25):
This is a direct quote from myfriend Olivera.
Come back to where your feetare.
Come back to your body.
Yourself.
Right now and right here.
And let yourself feel.
Love.
(09:45):
For life itself.
For the fact that you'rebreathing.
For the fact that you have abody to come back to.
And let that feeling be what isreflected back to you from the
world?
Because it is what.
You're vibrating.
You don't have to do.
Anything.
You will do things.
(10:06):
But the doing will come fromthat place of feeling.
Love.
From that place, the feeling athome in yourself.
And then your actions will alignwith that love.
And with that sense of feelingat home.
So claim your independence asthe cat suggests, claim your
independence, come back to you.
(10:27):
And then as the dog suggests.
Be loyal.
To that, which you love.
That which makes you feel.
Love within yourself.
When you're independent.
And your energy is here at homewith yourself.
You can feel what feels likelove.
And let it flow.
(10:49):
Thank you so much for being herewith me.
I can't wait to talk to youagain.
Until then I'm sending all thelove, all the love, like all of
it.
And then some more.
We'll talk again.
