💛A present for my Gemini friends from Gemini Brett, an exploration of music theory as it relates to the sacred geometry of Mercury. 💛

"I accept responsibility for my well- being."

"The ego can be a fragile thing, and if it comes under fire, the first instinct is to blame an outside force. Victim consciousness weakens the connection that you have to your soul source. This mind-set says: *I don't have the power inside myself to break free, because someone else's power is stronger. *

"This is an illusion. When you believe that someone else is responsible for your problems, that belief *is* the problem. Personal responsibility can empower you to change your reality. Lasting transformation always begins on the inside and works its way out.

"There is a difference between a *reason* and an *excuse*. A reason is valid and unavoidable, an excuse is an attempt to shift the blame. "

- James Van Praagh, from The Soul's Journey lesson cards

How can you shift out of victim consciousness and into an empowering mindset today? Where can you take even a small measure of responsibility?

Today is about purpose.
I like how this ties in with yesterday's card. First, one must take responsibility for as many aspects of their life as is possible. Then, purpose begins to reveal itself.
"I know what I am here to do. "

Join Rachel and I tonight, 7pm Mountain time for some tarot pulls and chit chat about this new moon.
At the end we'll be doing personal card pulls, so if you want us to draw a card for you, get your order in ahead of time!

We promise giggles and much love. Cheers!

Before you silence yourself to keep the peace, ask yourself, ‘What is the worst thing that can happen if I use my voice? Usually, the answer is ‘this person may dislike me.’ That’s it.

If you are silencing yourself for this reason, they already don’t like you. They only like a fictional version of you.

Raise your voice.

Speaking of being in the body, this recommendation comes from a friend currently training in somatic experiencing. These are tools that I use a lot that help me process the stuck emotions and energy in my body.

This is a great refresher if you've learned this already, and a great intro if you are unfamiliar with how to heal from trauma.

P.s., everybody carries some kind of trauma, whether it's from a big and cataclysmic event, or little (repeated) things from early childhood that have added up, or things you're completely unconscious of from a pre- verbal state (or even past lifetimes).

Or say, from surviving two solid years of ostrasizing, gaslighting, coercion, shaming and blaming on an international level.

We cover up these things with smoking, drinking, working non stop, scrolling through our phone for a few hours, forming addictive, codependent relationships, constantly consuming *more* info, more videos, more knowledge, anything to get us out of our body.

For some, being in the body is a very scary experience. I understand that. If that's your present reality, don't numb out! These are the kinds of practices that will help you find safety. Be gentle with yourself, don't push too hard, but challenge yourself today to connect in a different way and try out a new tool.

If that is extremely challenging or brings up too much and feels unsafe, back off, and be sure to contact someone that is trained to guide you through these practices, that's trained in trauma therapy.

If anybody wants Somatic Tips, I highly Recommend Rowan's Channel, I learned about her before when I was in Teal Tribe on FB. Don't worry she's not some crazy Teal Swan zealot, she's spent the last several years training in yoga and different modalities of therapy such as somatic therapy and is a somatic practitioner, but also knows her stuff when it comes to spirituality. Pretty smart when it comes to things like IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy, parts work and trauma work too.

I mention her though because she's got a cool free series on somatic therapy and she's a pretty smart cookie to learn from.

Mercury retrograde ends today, may your communications be smooth.

But not quite "Smooth Criminal" smooth, more like a smoothie with strawberries and vanilla yogurt, in honor of it being in Taurus. 🤣

Or like smooth jazz, or the saxophone opening to "Never Gonna Dance Again" by George Michael. You know the one. If you don't, look it up, then you'll know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

Have a good day 😁

Hahahaha well said, Laura

Saturn Retrograde starts now

@timeoftransition

My friend Michelle just dropped a new video about a lovely herb called Lemon Balm!

Because of its immensely calming effects, I think it's perfect for Gemini season, coming fresh out of a mercury retrograde (we're still in shadow and it's squaring Saturn- read: still experiencing issues and obstacles, going over ground we covered already to re-do things; have some patience with yourself) - so why not explore a new soothing tea?

Tomorrow! June 6th!
Come hang with us ❤️
