How Can The Seven of Spades Help Us Live Our Multidimensionality?

How can the 7♠ help us  live our multidimensionality?

This week’s card is the 7 of Spades. It is the card of Faith and Trust. It can mean that we might be going through some difficulties, stress or an inner struggle that helps us grow. Of course, stress and difficulties can result in an illness because our body holds what we’ve yet to process. Stress lowers our immune system and we catch colds, have allergy attacks or sometimes worse.

Think about how your life is a particular way because of a belief you hold. Let’s use the example of believing in aging and that you start going downhill after age 30.

Due to that belief, you seem to have more aches and pains than others your age. You find gray hairs early. You get tired more often. You seem to no longer enjoy life or things fall into a very boring rut.

Then due to a variety of things, you realize that belief doesn’t serve you well and you change it. You let go of that belief and you take on the new belief that YOU are in complete control of how your body ages and that you don’t have to assign any particular age as any particular way of being.

Suddenly, your life changes. You feel younger. You find things to do that make you happy. You have more energy. You create a list of all the things you want to accomplish and you set out to do them. You stop cringing at birthdays and your friends notice how much younger you look.

THAT change in you, in your life, in your experiences is a new version of you. It actually changes some of your cells, it can affect how you look, feel and think. You are different. There is a new version of you. It sets up a new reality for you to live in.

You now have a new focused frequency!

Because time isn’t linear, the old you still exists. There is that version of you – the one aging quickly and not enjoying life – that still exists. And there is the new you. A new you simply because you changed a belief.

Because of the new belief, new people, experiences and feelings will now flow into your life. You are now heading in a new direction in your life.

Several things can happen now – and this is where the “trust” of the 7♠ comes into play.

You are eating differently now. You are out enjoying life now. Then, suddenly, something happens that scares you or makes you think your change is bogus (like losing friends because of it).

At that point you have to make a choice. You can’t have one foot on the dock and another foot on the boat. You are either all in the new way, or you go back to the old way.

Trust is an energy and we place that energy on things and beliefs. A child easily places their trust – all of it- on what they believe is possible. But, as adults, we tend to start rationalizing things and we wavier or split our trust energy up, hoping to hedge our bets.

Now you have split and dissipated energy. Your trust is no longer at 100% on the new belief that you are in control of your aging. It is like you took that new wide open door that Source was flowing new things to you through and you shut it part way.

What you have done is dissipated your own power.

100% trust and faith is 100% of your power to have what you truly want.

If you have had any type of religious background, faith and trust might mean that you have to believe in a God and that you just go through life blindly – following the will of that Higher Power. That can feel unsure because how can we know the will of said Higher Power? At that point, we hand over our power and while we might be told that we are living with blind faith, we are actually denying our birthright power to live who we are.

The Faith & Trust that the 7♠ speaks to us about is the 100% power that comes with 100% trust in a belief.

A belief is only as strong as the amount of trust energy we place in it. When we fully trust in a belief, it is very powerful and can change our lives.

100% trust equals 100% power.

Powerful people place their trust energy fully in what they believe in, directing that energy into what they believe is possible and to what they want – increasing their ability to manifest.

You choose a new reality – a new you- when you place your trust 100% on a belief about yourself and life. That 100% trust opens a door that allows a new reality to happen for you. A new dimension of you is born. That trust energy is not bound to just the physical. It is now part of your consciousness and it reaches beyond the limits of time and space.

This way of being – this ability to choose a new you and to have that reach beyond time and space is living as a multidimensional being. You have the power to make a choice – to choose what focused frequency you want to live at any moment.

Let’s go back now to the 7♠ card. In a forecast, it can speak to a possible struggle, an illness, stress or an event that challenges our faith and trust in something. (A belief.)

Seven’s always speak to “spiritual challenges,” BUT – what it is challenging or what it is helping to show us is a belief that might not be serving us, or is blocking us from what we really want in life. How this plays out is filtered by the planetary period the 7 card is in.

Using the example again of the belief in aging – let’s say that that person had the 7♠ in their Saturn period. Their belief in aging is suddenly highlighted due to their unhealthy lifestyle habits – let’s say they have been holding onto negative thoughts about themselves for a long time – such as I’m too old now to have fun or I have too many responsibilities to enjoy life. These thoughts have manifested as an illness and a lot of stress at work. They eat on the run and only processed food, ignoring any indication that their body gives them about needing real nutrients to thrive. Let’s say they end up with severe chest pain and they have to go to the hospital and have tests run for several days. They are finally forced to do something about their unhealthy lifestyle (which resulted from their belief in aging fast and no longer being able to enjoy their life.)

This becomes a challenge that presents an opportunity. (All challenges present an opportunity for us.)

While most people get told to make some changes by their doctor or they get put on some prescription drug (which can actually escalate an issue, but I won’t go there in this post!) and things might change for them, the person who is seeking to make their lives better (and uses guideposts such as the cards) can take this opportunity to check in and see what needs to change in their lifestyle and ways of thinking – aka — what belief has created this issue.

The 7♠ wants us to ask ourselves: Where am I placing my trust energy? Am I placing it 100% on a belief that is causing this issue? Or, am I 50% here and 50% there, thus dissipating my power? Am I using my full power to change my life and choose a new reality – a new me?

We might cringe when we see a 7 card in our forecast. We might look at the 7♠ and think it means we need to have faith in God. There is nothing wrong with that – the power in the belief that God will take care of you is like any other belief – it yields results based on the trust energy given to it.

The vibration of belief is unstoppable.

Living as a multidimensional being means we can take that card – that indicator of a potential challenge that is an opportunity — and choose a new reality – a new life, a new you – because you are a multidimensional being!

 

 

 

 

 

 

How To Use The Immense Power of The Eight of Spades

In this post, we’ll learn how to use the immense power of the Eight of Spades. This card tells us that when we focus our will, our intention and we zoom in on a particular interest, we will be successful.

As a kid, did you ever take a magnifying glass on a sunny day and point it at a leaf and catch the leaf on fire? You magnified and narrowed the sunlight heat onto the leaf. This is  exactly how the 8 of Spades works in our life. It tells us how powerful we are when we zoom in on something we want to achieve and we assert our will and intentions on that thing.

It relates to work and health. When we view our lives through the lens of our bodies—both as our way of living and work—this card speaks to the basic structure of living.

This card says loud and clear—YOU CAN DO THIS!

But how?

First, what does the word “Power” mean for you? This often causes confusion as to how to use this wonderful influence.

Power can feel competitive, overly masculine, aggressive or controlling, so we might not know how to apply our power or even where our power comes from!

Does it mean going at our goal like a pit bull?

No, not at all.

Our point of POWER is in the PRESENT.pwer_imagintion

First, I want to clarify what real power is in regards to our ability as divine beings to create the life we want.

Everything in life started or came into being with the idea or thought of something new or different. (Even the Bible says in John; “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God”.)

The “Word” is Creative Power. God=Creative Power. This is what created all we know. It is the system and structure of life.

It is our ability to conceive with our Minds. Our power comes from the fact that we, as Divine beings in a human body, are here to create—to expand the Universe.

We create with our imaginations.

That is the power the card points us to.  Not physical force, or aggression, or battling things into place, but with our imaginations. We conceive of what we want.

It all starts with what we believe about….. (fill in the blank)

Our thoughts are electro-magnetic realities which affect our body and are automatically translated by our nervous system into the actual way our body functions and experiences life. We literally create how our bodies are and what we will experience by what we believe. (About life, health, work, the world, etc.)

All the energy at our disposal as Divine beings is concentrated towards what we want in order to bring us the results. There are no ifs, ands or buts…it just IS.

Our power resides in our imaginations.

You have the ability to go into your imagination and create (vibrationally) the life you want to live and be there.

 And by being there, living it vibrationally (even for just a few minutes a day), you shift the balance of power.  You take the power away from the obstacles.

See, as humans, we tend to always see the obstacles and then we assign power as the ability to remove the obstacles (sometimes we literally think we have to power through them, right? )

But, the power we have as divine beings isn’t in our bodies or through being aggressive.

It is through our beliefs.

Your effective POWER of action follows your beliefs. If you believe in any limitations, weaknesses, or impossibilities within yourself or in life, you deny and block your innate power. You will GET only in direct correlation with what you believe you’ll get.

Society typically does this: One reacts against something they don’t want or like in response to events that seem to be happening to them.

That can be seen as “power” in our culture. (Go fight for what you want…or go fight against the bad stuff.)

What that does is create more of the same. But because it is an “outer” action, we think it is real power.

Instead, to use our real, innate divine power, we must use our Mind (not our ego-mind) but our beliefs and imagination, to form a mental image of our desired outcome as if it has already happened. We get tripped up here because we look out and see that “it isn’t there yet,” which activates all kinds of limiting reasoning against it. THAT blocks our power.

Because our beliefs have this electro-magnetic reality, the constant interplay between our contradictory beliefs causes power blocks, stopping the flow of energy we have access to in order to create.

Every single thing that is and happens follows this pattern: An accumulation of energy turned into action brought about by the culmination of our beliefs.

Find beliefs that allow you to ignore obstacles. Build a belief system within yourself so that you have no limitations or restrictions.

Now, let’s go back to the statement of, your point of POWER is in the PRESENT.

There are two parts to this.

Part One: Your present beliefs give directions to your entire personality, which reorganizes and changes your past experiences and in the same sense, alters the future.

If you are unable to achieve a goal, there is probably a belief from your past that’s blocking your point of power. We think that the PAST is who we are, when in fact, who you are is in the PRESENT moment.

We can change anything…anything…anything!….when we focus our point of power on the present.

Not the past (how things were then).

Not the future (if only I had this and maybe when I can get to that, THEN I can have what I want).

But seeing, feeling, imagining NOW what you want or how you want to be.

Part Two: Add to this the power that comes from being at peace with how things are in your life NOW.

You might want a change and that is OK– that is how it should be—as creators, we are always expanding. But when you focus on the things in your life that you hate, you block your power to change it.

Love and be grateful for where you are NOW, how you are NOW. That opens your flow of power. Find things to love and be grateful for with your present circumstances daily.

I like to wake up and start listing things, literally looking around me and focusing on what is there that I love; that pleases me; that makes me smile; that feels good. Then I also look at what I might not be happy with and I love it too, because I created it.

(I actually look at what I wish was different and I hear and see the character of Steve Urkel on the show Full House say, “Did I do that?” I can laugh and say, “Yes, I did, I am a powerful creator!” 😉

You are a Divine Co-Creator with the Universe and your desire is very important. YOU are important.

This is the Power of the 8 of Spades —it is the concentrated FOCUS, the unblocked power to actualize one’s goal.

You have this energetic influence to use when this card is in your yearly forecast. We all have access to this at all times, but when it is in your forecast, it says that now, at this time, you chose at a soul level this “energy” to use for a specific purpose. We always have free will—to deny, avoid or refuse. It is your choice.

To use this very powerful influence, here is a step-by-step guide you can download to help you be aware of any old habit/thoughts/beliefs that might be sabotaging your goal and how to change it.

Create your point of power now by deciding to state a new belief that is 100% positive in regards to your goal.

Ask the Universe to reveal to you proof that your new belief is TRUTH.

If your birth card is the 8 of spades, you are a very powerful person with the obligation to use your power for good. Don’t use it to avoid or escape your fears – instead make a contribution to society. You are a hard worker and you express your power through actions and your powerful will. You can easily handle obstacles and you have the power to heal and transform the lives of those you know. Your challenge is to develop a more positive attitude about life and the study of spiritual topics will bring you more healing and personal freedom.

If you draw the 8 of spades ask yourself these questions:

  1. What would you truly like to change and improve upon?
  2. List your five top reasons to develop new empowering beliefs.
  3. What new beliefs will let you move past difficulties forever?
  4. When you become determined to achieve your goals, what happens?
  5. What very specific goal, project or topic are you wanting to focus on right now?
  6. What would you need to believe to be successful right now?
  7. What questions do you ask yourself that disempower you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do You Want To Feel Empowered?

Do you want to feel empowered?

I spent most of my life feeling disempowered. When I did my core values exercise I discovered that empowerment was on my list.

Weird, I thought.

But then it made sense. Those issues that we struggle with become what matters to us the most.

You grow up in poverty; you work hard to make money.

You grow up being bullied; you work hard to empower yourself.

And, as a mentor/teacher, we tend to want to help others overcome and conquer what we had to overcome and conquer.

This is why learning about the cards and discovering who I really was meant so much to me.

The tool of Soulmancing revealed what I call my ‘soul stats’ and when I started living who I was authentically, the things, people and situations that were not me left my life and the things, people and situations that were me came into my life.

You naturally become empowered when you are living who you really are.

That doesn’t mean we don’t still have moments of feeling scared, or jealous, or sad or angry. It means that when we do experience those low emotions, we know what to do with them. We know what they’re showing us and we can then use them to point out what we need to do next.

That alone is worth it.

But I made another awesome discovery when I started living via my true self-

Living the real you means you’re emitting a very strong signal to the Universe of your desires – naturally.

The Universe doesn’t need repeated words, begging or pleading from us to bring us what we want. That goes nowhere. Our vibrations are what sends out the signal.

And our vibrations are what we are feeling & being in each moment.

When we’re disempowered, confused and unsure, we tend to absorb everything around us. It’s natural to want to fit in and belong, so we attach ourselves to people and beliefs that make us feel we’re somebody because we’re just like everybody. But that way of living disempowers you. It disempowers you because you aren’t emitting a strong signal of you—instead you’re absorbing all the stuff of others.

empowered

Picture a wet blanket being thrown over you and that is how you walk through your life. All of the stuff around you ends up sticking to that wet blanket and soon people think that is you.

You start thinking that is you and when stuff comes into your life that you don’t really want or like, you wonder, why is this happening?

If you’re absorbing the reality of someone else who has a constant fear of being attacked, or of losing all they own in a financial crisis or never finding a life partner or romance because all men are bad or…or…or…

What will your life start looking like?

That is a disempowered life.

If, instead, you know who you are and what you want and you start emitting those signals loud and clear (because that is what you’ll do naturally), what will your life look like?

Empowered.

focus on being you

Start Using The Power of Your Imagination

How would it feel if you were living as a working artist making the money you want and feeling blissed out each day?

It amazes me each time I ask a client this question. I get the deer in headlights response.

So many old crappy beliefs rush into their heads, they can’t even sort them enough to answer at all.

Brain freeze.

There is a well-known phrase I’m going to toss out at you right now.

Get your hopes up!

How did you react to it?

Some of us were taught NOT to get our hopes up regarding something we wanted. It was a safety measure, so if it didn’t come true, we wouldn’t be so hurt. (Wow, is that ever an ego maneuver!)

Here’s the kicker and reason that’s the worst advice (however protective and good intentioned it might be).

We are always transmitting an energy signal to the Universe. That signal is transmitted by how we FEEL about a topic. In turn, the Universe matches that signal and its match shows up in your life via your friends, job, home, experiences and things.

 If you hold back your excitement about what you desire for your life, believing that will keep you safe, those same non-excitement, safety feelings is what the Universe will deliver.

 

It’s like standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and shouting in a shrill voice, “LIFE SUCKS!”

What echo comes back? A hearty, LIFE IS GRAND!

No. You get back what you sent out.

It’s all energy. It all works in the same way.

Not getting your hopes up is very counter-productive to what is innately your source of power.

All of your desires allow the Universe to be everything that it is wanting to be.

Part of its unfolding is realized through what you wish to do and be. The Universe is relying on you to make your desires come true.  And, it is wanting to actively help you make them come true.

You carry within your being an aspect of the Universe that wants to be expressed.

Read that a few times and let it sink into your body. Feeeeeeeeeel it. Pretty cool huh?

Our source of power, our divine birthright, comes from our ability to express the Universe!

Why not send out the excitement, passionate bliss and thrill of your desire? Because in doing that, the Universe will match it.

 dreams

We are made from what made the Universe. We are made from what made time. We have been given the ability to express what needs to be expressed.

 

Are you ready to fully accept and step into that power?

This is why you have an imagination. This is how you use that power!

 

As a Creative you imagine all kinds of things for your work, right? idea-152213_640

Your ability to imagine things that seem so real, you can feel like you’re right there in it.

Take that same power you use for your work and use it to envision what you want as an artist.

Pretend you’re creating a new character. This character is very talented in whatever medium you work in. This character has been given a HUGE grant to do her work.

So huge, she can set up a studio that is perfect.

So huge, it pays all her bills.

So huge, she can even have some fun with it.

So huge, she can take some classes and learn new techniques within her medium.

Do you see her life? See how it looks and what she is doing?

Now, replace her with YOU.

See yourself THERE.

See YOU with what you want to have/do/be as an artist.

FEEL it, feel the spine tingling, school girl giggling, rush through your body thrill of having it.

Get your hopes UP!

Skip, whistle, sing, smile, giggle….cheer to it with your wine at dinner…visualize it as you fall to sleep. Buy a bouquet of flowers as a Congrats! for it. Make a special dinner in celebration of it.

 

Do this as often as you can, because the Universe doesn’t operate in time as we know it, it just responds to energy.

 

Become one of those people who took hold of this awareness, accepted it, used it and allowed the Universe to expand!

 

I’d say that does indeed call for a celebration!!

Take action:

Pretend that you just got a letter in the mail. It announced that you were the recipient of a HUGE monetary gift. You got this gift because your creative work needs to be shared.

This gift will allow you to work as an artist fulltime.

It will cover your bills, buy your supplies and support your creativity.

But, you must make a list of what you’ll do with the money.

Make that list now.

How will your life change?

How do you spend it?

What will you buy?

How does it make you feel?

Each night before you go to sleep, pick something on the list you wrote out and imagine having it.

Start using the power of your imagination to manifest the lifestyle you desire to have as a Creative!
