April 17 Reading

I'm off my "A" game.

We all go through periods of plateauing, of feeling funky and out-of-sorts. Mercury Retrograde plus Mars Retrograde doesn't help. Now that the planets are back in line, I want to get going too.

My question was "What energy is around me today?" From the Spiral Tarot I drew two cards.

The Hanged Man.

The Hanged Man can mean several things. Just by itself, it's a card of surrender, no forward progress. Yes, I feel stalled. Is the message to surrender to that feeling? Maybe. But, there's a rainbow behind this guy, so I know that some of the small steps I've taken to are working in the background.

On to card #2

The Hierophant Reversed.

I didn't reverse the card so you could see what we're looking at a little easier. For me, reversed cards can mean energy blocks, something just not working well. The Hierophant is the teacher of higher knowledge, the ethical arbiter. The card before him, The Emperor, is the ruler of law. This is the next step.

So, he's reversed but he still has a rainbow, this time, running from both his hands. So, even though there's a block here, I feel constrained by rules or maybe tribal consciousness, I have the means at hand, to change that.

Taking the two cards together, even though I'm in a period of stagnation, there are forces at work, that change this. The 'holding' period will end.

Edgar Cayce eGroups

I had the opportunity to take one of the A.R.E. (Association for Research and Enlightenment) eGroups this past month and I highly recommend them. Last spring I took "Inspirational Writing" and got a lot out of it. This time, I took "Increasing your Psychic Awareness."

Henry Reed Ph.d taught the course and I learned alot about 'how' intuition is received. There were a lot of computer generated exercises, some reading and video on further studies that analyzed the brain's ability to process material, and person to person reading exercises.

The computer games gave me performance anxiety, even though we weren't supposed to score ourselves.

That's like my yoga class, where we're told not to compare ourselves to the person next to me. Right!

But, I surprised myself by doing really well with the person to person exercises. Actually, we all did - so I would say this course was very successful.

The ARE website is http://www.edgarcayce.org/ and there's a wealth of information there. Also - if you're on Facebook, look for their page, and also their Dream Interpretation page, and their Book Club page.

Quality material, knowledgeable people. I highly recommend.
