I've been back on track with my #meditation practice. It helps me focus my energy and intention for the day. For me, personalluy, it helps me manage some symptoms of my #mentalhealth issues. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't take your meds! Health is integrative 💛 What do you all do for your #wellness practices? #wellnesswednesday #mentalwellness #meditate #meditating

Date: 20 June 2018 Card: #nineofpentacles, inverted Message: Be mindful of things that are coming your way that appear too good to be true. Usually it is because they are. Whatever is coming is a promise of false security. Be sure to read the fine print and ask questions. If someone is getting upset or discouraging curiosity about with whatever they are presenting to you then heed the red flags and either turn back or proceed with extreme caution. #Mantra: I pay attention to the signs and warnings coming my way.

Date: 19 June 2018 Card: #twoofswords, inverted Message: A #stalemate of sorts is indicated by the arrival of an inverted two of swords but a choice must be made nonetheless. The idea being that regardless of the #choice being made we must be able to accept what comes and work through the lesson to be learned. There is no right or wrong answer in the situation but do not dawdle. Think for a moment then stick with your choice. #Mantra: I learn to sit with the lessons the Universe sends my way based upon the choices I have made.

Date: 18 June 2018 Card: #eightofwands, inverted Message: There is rapid #progress associated with the eight of wands when it comes to us upright. However when we get an inverted card, it indicates a block in the road. At this time you are being asked to keep faith. The quickness can be overwhelming or perhaps you may not be moving as fast as you might have hoped. While frustration is valid, know that you are exactly where you need to be. The lessons and information you are gathering here are vital for your shift into the next phase. Trust the universe and know she has your best interest at heart. #Mantra: I am exactly where I need to be in my life. Timing is divine and I learn to trust Source with mine.

Date: 14 June 2018 Card: #kingofswords, inverted Message: Be weary of men and masculine of center people who wield their power and authority with no care or awareness for those around them. Be weary of these people who are in positions of power (like the current United States president) who use cruelty and manipulation to get what they want. Unchecked masculinity becomes a toxic sludge that coats everything around it, deadening the senses of everyone if they are not careful. While emotions and feels can be good and healthy to experience, letting them run wild without keeping them in line leads to clouded judgement and weakness. We cannot see the forest through the trees, so to speak. Greed and lust for power corrupts the minds of the seeker to the point of using manipulation tactics to get whatever it is they want, including lying to people who feel disheartened, downtrodden, and unseen. #mantra: I refuse to be blind and complacent to abuses of power and will do everything in my own power to combat it.

Date: 7 June 2018 Card: #thehermit Message: Look inside for guidance. Know that the answers you seek are not going to come from the outside world. Somewhere in your mind and soul lies the answer. This is the time to consult your ancestors, for they will help lead you where you need to be. They are the lamp in hand to cast the glow at your feet. The light here indicates knowledge of self by spending time alone and getting acquainted with the self. This does not mean isolate and pull away from loved ones and the outside world, but it is vital that we be able to truly sit with ourselves in comfort. To know that going out alone and spending time alone can be liberating and fun and those are the times we become intimate with ourselves. We truly get to do what we want and are not relying on others to make choices for us. Maybe it's time to take yourself on a solo date. #mantra: I find love and joy and grounding in myself. Being alone is not being lonely. Being alone with myself is an intimate experience and an exploration of me.

It's #talkbacktuesday. Do you wear babies? Doesn't matter if you're a parent, birthworker, or caregiver. Most folks can do it, too. If you do #babywearing share with us all below. What do you love? What do you wish you could change? What do you use? Here I am using a #ringsling and I also personally love #rebozo.
