I don’t do this the ‘normal’ way, by looking at my diary and seeing what lies ahead (even though I know that’s important and something I will do after this👇🏻).
Instead I get my (current) two favourite oracle decks, a set of runes + The Book of Runes (scroll down to see a photo!), to see what they have to share with me about the week ahead.
Not ideal right?
I had booked this retreat in many months ago and was *really* looking forward to it.
Six days, meditating, journaling, eating organic whole foods prepared by expert cooks (the best!!), and connecting with like minded people. That for me is Sanctuary right there!
But the Friday before I left, with my bags packed and in the car, I received a phone call from Hubby.
He’d flown down to the snow the day before – and given I was leaving Saturday morning early I had organised Mr 13, stocked the fridge, sorted the dog, all of it. I didn’t need an emergency right now!
I wrote these words in my journal when I was on retreat last year.
I had just done an Akashic Records meditation and was journaling my answers to some questions afterwards, and these words, in part, were what came through.
Take them in for a moment, if you can.
Because in essence what they’re saying is – as a spiritual being having a human experience there is ‘work’ to do to evolve, learn, grow in this lifetime.
But just as importantly, what you do to get yourself in the right frame of mind before you do the work is just as vital.
Writing my next book.
Everything from full on happiness and JOY, to the total opposite end of the spectrum – sadness, anger, shame.
And as I thought about these emotions, I got thinking about the concept of ‘being happy’, and whether it was a worthwhile pursuit or not.
Because, you see, I actually don’t think it is.
At least, I don’t think it’s a good pursuit all of the time.
Why?
Why an analogy? Because it’s actually too difficult to explain a complicated innate trait in a few short words!
Dr Aron’s analogy is for the word DOES.
