#happychihuahua eating crisps. So cute, she wouldn't take it until she saw there was water for after to quench her throat. #lovemiabella so much. She is my soul child and bff. 60: THE BIG PICTURE. DECISIONS, CHOICES... WHAT DO I DO?🤷🏻‍♀️ 🕵️‍♀️ The woman in this card is caught between two poles of action, unable to come to a decision about what to do and which choice is right. Holding the world in her hands, which also to me looks a lot like her voice, she turns away from the physical elements of her life in order to look deeper. 🕵️‍♀️ In her future THE TOWER looms, impending doom and destruction, the dissolution of her so-called life. She looks and is understandably scared: there is a lot at stake. 🕵️‍♀️ What are you unsure about right now? What situation or circumstance is causing you concern? Where are you stalling, playing for time? 🕵️‍♀️ If it's a relationship: is there anything you can do to help? If it's a situation: can you improve or change it? If it's an issue or behaviour: can you release and heal it now? 🕵️‍♀️ THE TWO OF WANDS is all about making difficult decisions, taking responsibility for your actions and having a plan; thinking ahead and plotting so that you don't get caught out. 🕵️‍♀️ What are you currently avoiding? What truth are you refusing to acknowledge or see? What are you lying to yourself about? 🕵️‍♀️ Deep down you know. You just have to ask: 🕵️‍♀️ 1. Close your eyes and enter your body. 2. Become conscious of and then deepen and slow your breath. 3. Relax, releasing all that you are holding onto. Take your time. There is no rush. 4. Place your right hand on your belly. Imagine it's a super sensitive receptor for detecting and divining things. What do you pick up? What do you intuit? 5. Place your left hand on your heart. What do you sense? What do you feel? 🕵️‍♀️ Open your eyes and come back into the room. Take out a journal and investigate what came up. What is wrong? What is out of balance? What does this tell you? What issue, element and/or aspect of your life do you need to redress? Can you do this without help? Or can you ask for and find it? 🕵️‍♀️ See comments for rest of post. 🕵️‍♀️ 🌜#tarot #instagramtarot #lemonrosepetalstarot #bachfloweressences #backfloweressencestarot #divination #channeling #crystalhealing #angelicguidance #whispersoflove #alottlebitoflight #dreamingway DAY 197: BABY'S GOT THE BLUES 😢 . Today after an intense session of counselling and healing with a client, I met a friend for lunch. Heavily pregnant, she was struggling with the heat as well as her rapidly approaching deadline. It's not the child she fears, however: it's the flat she needs to let, the car she needs to sell and the finding of a suitable temp to replace her. On top of that there's trying to work out how to relocate on one month's salary and no job to speak of after that. Company politics and Brexit. It's a bit of a mess; a miracle with the worst timing. But you take them where you can, especially when you got exactly what you had been demanding. Be careful what you wish for... dreams do come true. . 😢 . To honour the baby (who may or may not be a boy) and to make a place for my friend's feelings, one that will remain sacred and endure long after her worries have fled: today's theme and colour is blue. Blue for fear, stress, sadness, depression, board members and babies. It's another bra strap adjuster, like the green one to the left and the red and pink to the right, symbolic of what I wish I could bequeath: space, scope, room, time... the invention of a device for dispensing slack, a little more rope to work with. . 😢 . 👵🏼💗 #1yearofstitches #oneyearofstitches #1yearstitchathon #365daysofstitches #showingupinjuly #stitchedjournal #lifethreads #lemonrosepetals #myinsideout #embroideredtruths #pinsandneedles #julystitching #mylittlestitchery #likestosleep #bedisthebest #sleepisaspiritualpractise #chihuahualife #chihuahualove #chihuahualove DAY 193: LIGHT AND DARK 🌝 I love the moon; always have, always will. Steeped in starlight, surrounded by shadow: she is a light in the dark, reminding me – always, no matter what – there is a place to return to with a willing welcome and an open heart. 🌚 I think I'm trying to say that I actually come from her; like others come from twinkles and storks. And that I believe I will one day go back. There is a sense of not belonging here; of not knowing who, what, or why I am. An orphan, an alien... among family and friends. 🌔 A big part of my life, the moon intrigues me. And like it or not, she controls much of my mood and energy. In this regard, she is like the worst and best mother and teacher rolled into one. Her love is unflinching. Her schedule is tough. Her vision is limitless. 🌓 When the moon is full I expand like a flower: confident, vibrant and blazing. When the moon is empty I hide like a mouse: timid, vulnerable and dim. One is empowering. The other is harsh. If I am good, there is learning. If I am brave, growth. Pushing, pulling, tripping, ripping: she renders and reduces. Mixing, stirring, balancing, grounding: she encourages and refills. Not just master to my cycle, she is mistress to my life. 🌒 This week saw another full moon and I decided to honour it with a silver circle couched in cream and grey thread. I added the words 'empty' and 'full' to give it context and also because I wanted to add more words. They, the two sides and the two words, express the light and the dark side of everything: you, me, others, life... reflecting both the good and the terrible, the helpful and the hindering, the happy and the sad, showing us that everything is a cycle, a journey from one place to the next. 🌘 👵🏼💗 #1yearofstitches #oneyearofstitches #1yearstitchathon #365daysofstitches #showingupinjuly #stitchedjournal #lifethreads #lemonrosepetals #myinsideout #embroideredtruths #pinsandneedles 59: WHERE DO I NEED TO FOCUS RIGHT NOW?🤷🏻‍♀️ / THE TWO OF SWORDS is a 'time out' card: time for rehab, time for rest, time for fixing broken stuff... / Looking at the card, I am reminded of a novice goddess or sage priestess in training and I imagine this woman, as part of her practice, drinking some odious-tasting potion in order to enter into a hypnotic state. There is a need to obtain clear seeing, thought without the intrusion of emotion, additional perspectives to those visible on the outside, deeper insight, advice from angels and guides... / Have you reached a point of overload in your life? Is there a lot flying around that you can't seem to influence or navigate? Are situations and/or relationships straining you? Has everything got to be a bit too much? / If the answer is yes, it's time to act; stepping forwards by stepping back. You need time alone: sitting, thinking, contemplating the true nature of things. The TWO OF SWORDS prescribes hibernation, introspection, inner journeying and separation from others. / You are caught between opposing decisions, different paths... You don't know what to believe or where to tread... Your head says A, your heart says B, your belly says C, your friends say D, E and F... The more you think about it, the more complicated it gets. / But let's unpack it. You are only struggling because you are avoiding the truth, refusing to heed the answer because doing it will hurt. By avoiding, denying, putting off... you are creating space, distance, delaying all that. / However, avoiding isn't easy and doesn't really help. Which is why you have a head full of worry and a body full of stress. / Healing happens when you take full responsibility: for yourself and where you are, for how you and others are treating you. When you go inside, face and communicate with your own shadow, and when you accept and allow that every so often it's alright to be buffeted and tossed: there is expansion and growth. / Put your trust in yourself. Have faith in your inner knowing. Ask and allow reciprocal of advice from the one who, ultimately, knows best. / 🌜#tarot #instagramtarot #lemonrosepetalstarot #bachfloweressences #backflower 58: WHO SHOULD I EMBRACE?🤷🏻‍♀️ / The THREE OF SWORDS is a painful card with a painful message: loneliness, separation, betrayal, sorrow, heartbreak, rejection, sadness, grief. Just looking at it makes me go "ouch!". But it's not necessarily bad. Here, because we are asking "who should I embrace": it's not about what's happening or coming; it's about embodying a missing something that you need. / There is disruption in your life, and conflict. Things that are piercing your heart. A situation where there is a triangle onto whose side you are stuck. Challenges, too numerous to mention... and too stubborn to resolve. Because of this, you are frustrated, depleted, sick. / But there is no need: to carry this burden, be in all this pain... You are holding onto things that are redundant to you. / Perhaps it is the dominance of a parental figure, a toxic relationship, a habit or addiction that no longer serves you in a positive way? Or a past experience, illness or injury? / The universe is bringing this to your attention and guiding you to release it. / Release what you are holding onto. Let go of what you fear to lose. Step out of the triangular cell. It's time. It has been time for a while. Embrace the energy of forgiveness, compassion and self-care. / 🌸 Use the essence depicted to aid you in your progress and healing. This card contains ASPEN to help you to confront your demons and be less anxious and fearful about the confining aspects of your life. / 📿The deck used is the Sherman-Caselli Tarot deck by Juliet Sharman-Burke and Giovanni Caselli. / 🌜#tarot #instagramtarot #lemonrosepetalstarot #bachfloweressences #backfloweressencestarot #divination #channeling #crystalhealing #angelicguidance #whispersoflove #alottlebitoflight #dreamingwaytarot DAY 185: AFTER EGGSHELL... / So, after eggshell comes pink, making me a follower, a copier, a cliché... but I'm a girly girl and can't help myself: red is too bold, yellow is too brash, green is too vibrant... and other colours belong to other people in my life: my partner has blue, my best friend has orange, my grandmother (when she was alive) purple. I don't want to tread on toes, get accused of copying, be a replica or a printout. Pink might be a cliché (unless you're a boy and then perhaps not) but pink is safe. You get to a certain age and suddenly pink: coveting it, wearing it, wanting it... becomes not so great. Pink is released. Pink is shed. Pink is outcast and ostracised. Poor pink. So I am brave because I persist, because I own, because I am not afraid to honour and acknowledge my inner side. / Like white, I sew with pink a lot; usually when in doubt. It's soft and gentle. It reminds me of rose petals and rosé wine. Also, springtime, sunsets, apple blossom, the world awakening (after months of cold, months I resent because for me they are filled with resistance, conflict, suffering). / So: a little pink, because pink is healing and helpful – encouraging flowers, fashioning hearts; inviting union and friendship. / And this completes my square. / And then – because beginnings are important, especially at this point, which is the halfway one – begins a journey, venturing out into a new unknown. / I see my pink joining up with other pinks – kissing hearts, caressing flowers; maybe giving voice to a few things. I like words, and there aren't yet enough. / 👵🏼💗 #1yearofstitches #oneyearofstitches #1yearstitchathon #365daysofstitches #showingupinjuly #stitchedjournal #lifethreads #lemonrosepetals #myinsideout #embroideredtruths #pinsandneedles #julystitching #mylittlestitchery #poetry #embroideredtruths #patienceisavirtue CARE INSTRUCTIONS Store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight.
