This week I am not just randomly pulling cards. I am consciously choosing them because of my experiences
over the past two weeks.
An aunt of mine went to Belgium where she researched a
member of our family who died in World War 1.
I didn’t even know she knew anything about him. His name is on the family tree with no
information only that he died in the war.
She found his grave, laid flowers there and brought home the information
on him from the war records. I have
since found it on the internet of course, now that I have his whereabouts and
date of death. “Coincidentally” enough
he died on Feb 19th 1917 and my oldest son was born on Feb 19th
1985. There’s a reason for everything –
what it is yet, I do not know.
Anyway I was going through some releasing of the old stuff
as many of us are and fear was a big issue.
After hearing this information, I was thinking of him, John Cassidy,
while I soaked in the bath. I felt
strongly that I was mirroring his feelings to a much, much lesser degree. I was full of fear and wanted to run,
basically, but there was nowhere to run!! So I thought of him each morning
during the war, facing another day of guns, bombs, aeroplanes and fear. I felt that one day he got up and told
himself that this is what he wanted, he wanted to fight for the cause and this
is how it was – different to his vision of it, but none the less, he was doing
what he came here to do. He had a choice
– get up every morning filled with fear and not be able to do the work to the
best of his ability, or get out there and fight for the cause, giving it his
all. His determination grew stronger
every day. He “died in action” is what
the paperwork said. (not inaction,
paralyzed by fear.)
Abraham Hicks tells us that our ancestors by asking for what
they wanted, propelled it forward into future generations, so that we would be
able to receive it, (if that makes sense.) Check out youtube videos, you will
come across what will be of interest to you.
I also do believe that “he showed himself” at this particular time,
through my aunt deciding to look for his grave, to help me break through the
fear barrier. I of course realised then my
stuff is minuscule, compared to what he went through and what others are still
experiencing in some parts of our world today, but fear is fear as they say,
but we must let it go and we will. We have
lots of help in doing it.
So the card I have pulled to go with this message is from
Wood You Believe deck by Jim Cogley (its an ancestral healing deck.) FEAR – The human person is a bundle of
unlimited potential. Fear can so petrify
potential that it never comes to anything.
Courage is the way to reclaiming our lives. It is doing the thing we don’t like in order
to achieve what we most want. Courage is
not acting without fear, rather it is acting in spite of our fear. *Where does fear most rule in my life? * Am I an approval addict always fearing what
others may think? *Am I a closed book
afraid of what others may see if I opened up?
*Am I willing to daily take risks and extend my comfort zones? * Am I courageous enough to face up to my
deepest fears? FEAR – Face Everything
And Recover.
I have also chosen the FAMILY TREE card from the same
deck. Stretching back into time
immemorial we have literally thousands of forebearers. These are people who often survived against
all the odds, times of hunger and poverty, war and disease, injustice,
oppression and hardship. It is an
amazing fact that if any one of those ancestors had not survived, had died as
an infant, been killed in a war or even had another partner, then you or I
would never have even been heard of. We
just would not be here. Such is the
delicate fabric of life and what far reaching consequences there are when we
fail to respect it. *What ways can I
honour my ancestors? * What positive
traits have I inherited from my ancestors?
* What negative traits may also have been passed on? * What ancestral gifts have been handed down
in my family? * What am I adding to my
family tree? We are products of those
who have gone before us.
All of this leads to my last card which is from Diana Cooper’s
Wisdom deck. When you hold a vision
with steadfast purpose, your success is assured for you have taken a decision
to cut away all other distractions.
Align to your Higher Self so that your direction is divinely guided,
then focus all your energy on your desired intentions. Commitment is a manifesting power that causes
the universe to line up its forces behind you.
So focus your thoughts, words, and actions towards your goal and
anticipate support from unexpected sources.
It is time to commit (to your life purpose) now.
Breathe, relax and let go of buying into the fear. Each time it is triggered, it is easier to
see it is not about real stuff. It is
usually about something you think might happen, that rarely does. But if it does, that is when you deal with
it, not long before it has even happened!!
Now that I am out the other side, it is funny looking back at it of
course.
Enjoy your week everyone.
Happy Halloween too. Love and
Light xx
