Bringing through guidance using my deck, The Mythic Tarot, along with psychic insights and spiritual messages.
For the week commencing June 23rd, 2025, we’re preparing for energetic shifts, emotional release, and inner strength. Let’s dive into the wisdom of the cards. 🌊 Influence of the Week: Six of Swords This week is all about making plans and tidying up. Not in a pressured way, in a clear, soul-aligned way. Think of it as clearing the decks before a new cycle begins. The Solstice energy is shifting us, and the Six of Swords encourages you to tie up loose ends and prepare for a fresh start. 💔 Conscious Self: Five of Cups There may be a sense of grief as we release expectations and old dreams. It’s like letting go of a fairy tale we once held dear. That version of events is no longer serving us, and it’s time to cut the cords from what no longer fits the life we’re growing into. Feel the sadness, acknowledge it and gently let it go. 🔥 Unconscious Self / Guidance: The Emperor The Emperor brings stability and grounded support. When the emotions feel overwhelming or confusing, this archetype helps us stay rooted in reality. He is the wise foundation we can lean into, a reminder that we are supported by strong, unshakable guidance. You’re not alone in this. 🌑 Block or Healing Opportunity: The Moon The Moon asks us to surrender control. There are things happening beneath the surface that we don’t yet understand. We may feel disoriented or uncertain. This card invites us to trust in the unknown and reconnect with our inner wisdom. Avoid making rash decisions. Instead, anchor into your intuitive knowing and allow the mystery to unfold. ⚔️ Action: Knight of Swords This is where things move quickly. If you’re ready to release an outdated story, this energy helps you do it swiftly. You don’t have to drag it out. The Knight of Swords offers clarity and decisiveness and when the realisation lands, let it cut through the noise and propel you forward. 💪 Outcome / Future: Strength Once the cords are cut and illusions released, strength returns. The Strength card signals the return of your energy, vitality, and personal power. This isn’t strength from force, it’s the kind that comes from deep alignment. You’re reclaiming the energy that was caught in false stories. You’re coming home to yourself. 🌀 Soul Lesson: Seven of Wands The deeper lesson this week is to overcome self-sabotage. Maybe something didn’t work out the way you’d planned, but that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. You’re simply being asked to let go of what no longer fits. You’ve always had the strength within, now you can stand strong in it without the weight of past expectations. Final Words: This week is about reclaiming your power. It’s a process of emotional release, intuitive connection, and aligned action. Trust your inner knowing, ground into what’s real, and let go of what’s already gone. With love, Vicki xx

Welcome! I’m Dr. Vicki Haspels, The Tarot Coach, here to bring you this week’s tarot forecast for the week commencing June 16, 2025, using my trusted Mythic Tarot deck and channeled intuitive guidance.
This week, the energy is clear: take care of business. The cards are encouraging us to tidy up loose ends, stop avoiding the uncomfortable, and lean into our natural strength and support systems. 🌸 Influence of the Week – Three of Cups This week is supported by deep and meaningful connections. Not just casual acquaintances—this is about the people who hold space for us when we’re tired or unsure. It's time to lean into that circle. Let them help you feel grounded and uplifted. 🧠 Conscious Self – King of Swords Now is the time to sort out anything that’s overdue with institutions: legal matters, banks, insurance, or government paperwork. The King of Swords wants everything transparent and in order. If something’s been sitting in the “too hard” basket, it’s time to face it with clarity and fairness. 🌿 Unconscious Self – Strength Beneath it all, your soul is reminding you: you’ve got this. The Strength card in this position shows that you are equipped emotionally and spiritually to handle whatever comes your way. Let inner resilience guide your decisions. 💭 Fears or Blocks – Four of Cups Watch out for inner voices—or people—that feed off drama or fear. This card warns against letting outside noise hijack your clarity. Come back to the support of the Three of Cups. If your thoughts spiral, pause and check: is this real, or is it fear in disguise? 🔥 Action – Nine of Wands Persevere. Don’t give up. Even if there are obstacles or delays, this card encourages you to finish what you started. If something keeps “bugging” you, it likely needs closure. This is the week to tie up loose ends, no matter how small. 🌟 Possible Future – The Star Good news: once you clear those distractions and complete what's been avoided, the future opens up. The Star brings hope, clarity, and creative expansion. With the admin and stress behind you, you can finally dream again. 🌀 Soul Lesson – Eight of Swords The bigger picture? Don’t get distracted by what you think is urgent. Focus on what is actually calling you. The Eight of Swords reminds you not to scatter your energy. Face what truly needs attention and you’ll feel lighter, clearer, and more in control. By week’s end, you’ll feel like you’ve cleared space—emotionally and practically—to move into new, inspired possibilities. Let your soul lead, take care of business, and watch the path ahead illuminate. With 💙 Vicki Haspels – The Tarot Coach with Dr. Vicki Haspels, The Conscious Mystic Hello, and welcome back. My name is Dr. Vicki Haspels, The Conscious Mystic. I’m so pleased to be here again to share the weekly tarot forecast for the week commencing May 19th, 2025. Each week, I draw cards from the Mythic Tarot to bring through guidance and wisdom from the world of spirit. These forecasts offer insight into the energies influencing us and how best to navigate them. If you’ve been following along, thank you for your patience during my break. Life has brought about some big changes and priority shifts for me recently which are all part of the journey. I’ll be writing more about that soon. For now, let’s dive into this week’s reading. The Influence: Ace of Wands This week is fuelled by the vibrant energy of the Ace of Wands. This card heralds a powerful surge of motivation, like the decks have been cleared, and fresh energy is rushing in. It speaks to a sense of unburdening. Whatever has been weighing you down is lifting. There’s space now for the mental, emotional, and energetic to move forward. A fresh start is available. Let it energise you. The Conscious Self: Three of Pentacles In our conscious awareness, we’re actively seeking validation or proof that we’re on the right path. The Three of Pentacles is a reminder that effort brings reward. Wherever you see small wins or feel momentum building, trust it. Those are your signs. On the flip side, if something feels heavy, resistant, or blocked, take it as a cue: you might be forcing something that no longer fits. Flow is your guide. The Soul Self (Unconscious): The World At the soul level, The World reminds us that certain chapters have truly ended. Even if something once worked beautifully, trying to revive it now may only bring frustration. Your soul will keep nudging you to release what’s complete. If you’re hitting wall after wall, trust that this is guidance, not punishment. Let the endings be endings. There’s so much new waiting for you. The Challenge or Aspiration: Strength Here’s where we meet our inner doubts. The Strength card tells us we do have what it takes, even when we feel unsure, afraid, or not “enough.” This week challenges us to trust ourselves. The resources are there. The universe is there. But we must take the step. This is about courage, not bravado. You don’t need to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step into the unknown. The Action: Ace of Pentacles Another Ace! The Ace of Pentacles brings practical, grounded beginnings. Where things have felt blocked, they’re now opening. Whether it's finances, health, relationships, or your spiritual path, go where the flow is. You’ll feel it. Don’t overthink it. Follow what’s easy, natural, and free of resistance. Take action where the energy is moving. The Outcome: The Hermit By following this week’s intuitive nudges and clear paths, we begin unlocking deep inner wisdom. The Hermit tells us that the answers we’re seeking aren’t outside us, they’re within. You may feel like you’re stepping into new territory, but your soul knows the way. Trust the quiet voice within. This is a week of remembering and reclaiming your truth. ⚖️ The Karmic Lesson: Six of Pentacles The bigger picture this week is about giving back. The Six of Pentacles asks: once you're in flow, once you’ve cleared your path, how can you use your gifts to serve others? This doesn't have to be grand or world-changing. It can be simple, heart-centred acts of kindness and generosity. But the call is there, to contribute, to share, to uplift. Final Thoughts This week is all about flow, fresh starts, and inner wisdom. Let go of what’s done. Walk the path that opens easily before you. And trust that your strength is enough, more than enough, to carry you forward. If you’re feeling the nudge to contribute something bigger than yourself, now is the time to listen. It begins with just one step. Thank you so much for being here. I’d love to hear how your week unfolds Feel free to share your thoughts or experiences with me. And as I mentioned, I’ll soon be writing more personally about what I’ve been navigating during my time away. With 💙 Dr. Vicki Haspels The Conscious Mystic See you next week! ![]() We enter a decisive week, marked by the presence of two Knight cards, a call to action! Time to shed contemplation and embrace initiative. The INFLUENCE CARD - KNIGHT OF SWORDS is decisive decision making. It is not about making a decision on everything, just notice where you can make those decisive, quick decisions and clear the deck. The overarching message here is to listen to the intuitive part of you. If you can see a solution immediately, then act. If you cannot see a solution then put the project, or worry, to one side. Today is not the day to act on that. The energy is one of identifying where you can clear some backlog. Why clear that backlog?
You can access the energy of the Knight of Swords this week by meditating on the image or allowing your Solar Plexus talk to you (FEEL IT). If it feels ok, then follow through, if not, then surrender. The Solar Plexus governs the mind, the thoughts, give your mind a break and listen. Use your feelings. Learn the language of the soul. This weeks energy favours clearing, not dwelling. Lets talk about The SOUL PURPOSE CARD - KNIGHT OF CUPS I love that this card has come up. It drives us to pursue our dreams. Sometimes by itself it can be a little distracting because it can lead us down a garden path to unrealistic outcomes which can be very disheartening. However with the Knight of Swords as an influence it will shine a bright light on the dreams that are sustainable. By following the guidance of the weekly forecast you will be in the best position to take up the reins of those dreams and make something of them. It’s time to take yourself seriously and give those dreams a go. They are there, tugging away at your subconscious for a reason. Is it because you are supposed to try something that has been embedded in you since before you were born? The Knight of Cups is the energy of the Third Eye, the ability to visualise your future. To activate your third eye I recommend using a crystal such as Angelite, Clear Quartz or Labradorite. Program your crystal to access the psychic realms. Ask it to show you clearly what dreams are sustainable and attainable. You will know because your whole of body will relax into the idea with certainty. In essence, this week is about decisive action guided by intuition. Clear the clutter and pursue your dreams with focus. It's time to turn your passions into reality. With 💙 Vicki xx Psychic readings, Reiki, Crystal Healing, Soul Purpose Coaching, Counselling, Past Life Regression, Tarot How to look professional - a guide to powerful tools that create a deep spiritual connection.2/4/2023 Beginning your spiritual journey to channeling impactful readings and healings can seem intimidating. Luckily, there are a vast range of powerful tools we can harness as readers and healers that create avenues for deep spiritual connection with clients, and unlock our innermost truth. In my spiritual journey, I have discovered that different modalities work best for particular purposes when channeling for a client or seeking healing for myself. My first love is, of course, my tarot deck.Then came oracle cards, crystals, pendulums, then books (even books are a tool!). So much goodness was found through these tools, and I don’t know about you, but once I started I found it difficult to curb my enthusiasm… too many card decks! Knowing what spiritual tool is right for you depends on, but is not limited to, what you want to use it for. Let’s begin with the four pillars of our Self, what spiritual tools work best and why. The Body is the container for the human experience. The body is fundamental to creating a strong basis for any spiritual evolution. We hold our memories in our physical selves, not just the mind, and anything that feels a little bit different will spook us. Spiritual tools that are tactile work best and anchor you to the physical realm.. Crystals are ideal to connect us to our physical selves as they are of the earth. They feel safe and their properties connect the unknown universal energy to our earthly experience. They are an extension of ourselves; our family. The Emotional Self is feelings that cannot be expressed through words. Articulating a message that is “felt” rather than “spoken” tends to fall flat. I don’t know how many times I find myself saying the same thing four different ways to clients and still feeling like I haven’t given it justice. Emotions are strongest when giving or receiving a healing. So, bypass those words and get straight to the “feels” with sound. When healing; crystal bowls, singing bowls, tuning forks and music are excellent ways to send your message. When reading; the best tools incorporate as much colour, texture and storytelling as possible such as tarot and oracle cards, emotion charts and aura photography. The Mental Self puts up the biggest fight and strongest pushback when it comes to spiritual tools. Once you have strengthened the physical and emotional selves, the mind is easier to work with. The mind will lie, tell you you’re wrong and sabotage your efforts to work with spiritual tools. To work with the mind Self, you must speak your truth without mental interference. I find Tarot cards best: they reflect honestly without prejudice. We can attempt to skew what the card is showing, but the reading will fall flat. When confronted with the truth, anxiety and doubt disappear. You can use the tarot for healing as well as readings - there are no limits. Alternatively, for healing, journalling is a great spiritual tool. The Spiritual Self is the realms of the mystic. Here everything is possible and undeniable. It speaks directly to the Higher Heart, beyond the Soul and straight to the source. To access this realm, even for a brief moment, can bring profound shifts. A couple of spiritual tools I recommend are incense or oils (smell/taste) and toning (sound). Spiritual tools using these senses must be used alongside meditation and energy healing, for example, to embed the “mystic” experience. Once embedded in the Soul experience, they become triggers that immediately transport you to this special state. Try adding a scent or sound to your next healing or reading session and experiment when you need it in your daily life. Seek out a trained therapist for best results. Spiritual tools are amazing when you see them working in action. It is witnessing your intuition in real time and validation and confidence grows with each connection. Over the years, many people have confided in me that they have abandoned these tools for a variety of reasons. Their reasons are valid, however I noticed a couple of underlying themes:
Every one of these experiences are valid and true for the person involved,but it does not make it true for everyone. Some people resonate with their spiritual tools and some do not - it’s about finding the tools that are right for you. Here are some points to consider if you feel this way or are on the fence about using spiritual tools:
Spiritual tools are just that, tools. It all comes down to intent. What are your intentions for you soul growth, your intentions for yourself and how you wish you use the spiritual tools. Are you looking to help or control. They will expose you to your truth. Are you ready?

Share your experiences in the comments below ![]() I’ve had chronic arthritis since I was 19 years old. The arthritis was bad in my 20’s but the worst was yet to come, just as I began my spiritual journey. Many painful truths had to be acknowledged. It sounds very dramatic and terrible…and it was. The lie I lived was exposed to find my Divine Spark. I’m not going to sugar coat it, the Spiritual Path was cruel, devastating, rewarding and peaceful. All the wonderful and terrible things at once and I would not change a thing. I found myself anxious, depressed, challenged by external influences, challenged by my own physical body, challenged by my own mental processes, anything that pushed me out of my comfort zone. I transformed that energy into healing. No-one did it for me. I wanted them to. I was angry and I wanted the teachers and healers to take it all away like they said they could. I was living as the victim and had to transform to the warrior. You are your own healer. You have the power. You have the power to make the changes. You have the power to decide you want something better than what you have. You have the power to decide what is best for you. You have the power to make mistakes and amazing discoveries. It”s not about working it out all at once. Decide! Decide that life has to be better than this. Tap into the power of the Spirit through meditation, tarot, reiki for example. Use the feeling you have in those moments to focus on your “Big Picture” This is how I learned to trust my intuition, my guides and my Spiritual Path. Be prepared to change course! Using your Big Picture focus you have a sense of what is possible. You will get stuck, you will be confused, you will be stubborn. Be flexible. I always sat in the FEELING of my Big Picture when I was confused. What it LOOKS like will change as you go with the flow. The FEELING is important, it is your ANCHOR. And you know what? I began to heal… I healed my Soul and I healed my life. My body still carries the arthritis. I don’t like it but I understand it’s true purpose. Teachers, healers and gurus are there for guidance and support. They work beside you to find your personal relationship with your Body, Mind and Spirit. You will encounter loving and not so loving people. Each and every one of them are support, cheerleaders, or motivation. Self Awareness is the greatest gift you can give to yourself. Knowing yourself and being honest with yourself is the only way to break those old patterns and begin to live your best life. It’s time to become The Warrior With love Vicki xx **My new program The Conscious Mystic Collective provides the perfect space to explore your personal relationship with Spirit...CLICK HERE TO VIEW PAGE ![]() Hitting the reset button helps rejuvenate the parts of you that you can feel is pushing for a change. A very confronting experience when it originates in the very depth of your soul with very little specific information, its just a feeling. When it is your business you will be feeling the need to refresh your current path or even take it in a whole new direction. What about your job? Feel like changing or giving up altogether? Often relationships come under the microscope when we feel like those we consider close friends no longer align with our current way of thinking. You might feel an impulse to take your passion and turn it into an income, which is always exciting and a bit scary. All of these examples come down to one thing…your Self has evolved, or levelled up, and is adjusting to a different way of experiencing the world. Often the need to change comes after a big life event when we are plunged into extraordinary circumstances. We rally while the energy is high and then comes the moment after where we wonder what is next and how do we reconcile the wisdom we have gained. How do we reconcile this shift? So, how to you embrace that opportunity with the least amount of resistance. In my life and with my clients I have observed the cycle of discomfort to renewal. I am sharing the processes here and I have related them to the seven chakras. Each step is critical to the cycle of renewal. How you experience it is personal so remember to be patient with yourself. With each step I have included a meditation to help you... #1 Feeling restless. I often get that fidgety feeling that something is not quite right, like I have forgotten something. This is the Crown Chakra downloading inspiration and it requires some stillness to listen, listen with the heart. Observing the world through this filter fires up the imagination and when tuned in you will begin to see inspiration everywhere. Now, where to place it…. CROWN CHAKRA ACTIVATION#2 Feeling envious or admiration of another. Have you ever seen or learned of someone’s achievements and realised you could actually do that? It is not always an heroic feeling yet here we are being nudged to acknowledge our own talents. The Brow Chakra is revealing what is possible through your imagination, placing you front and centre. If you can visualise yourself in their place or dream of yourself doing the same thing you are more than capable of creating this for yourself. You’ve got this! THIRD EYE CHAKRA ACTIVATION#3 Meeting people of like mind, finding your tribe. Serendipity? Yes! Finding your tribe is such a blessing. People who speak your language and really get you. Through your Throat Chakra you are able to articulate your desires and build trust in yourself. Your tribe will reflect your ideas and you will gain strength from their support. THROAT CHAKRA ACTIVATION#4 How do you feel when you are living your passion? Compliments flow and there is a satisfied feeling from living your dream. Here the Heart Chakra is functioning at its optimum level. Feelings of absolute joy and vulnerability abound here, be fully immersed. The heart is the compass of the Soul. From this point on you may want to turn your passion into something bigger, something to share with a greater audience, maybe a business HEART CHAKRA ACTIVATION#5 Tools and real time opportunities just turn up! Wow! how I love it when ideas flow and I succeed, materials I require abound and the right support appears just when I need it in real time. I expand what I am doing and share it with others who find value in my efforts. This is the Solar Plexus working hard to actualise your dreams. Lean into it and let go. SOLAR PLEXUS ACTIVATION#6 Making a difference in someones life. Pure joy by just being yourself. Gaining a deep sense of satisfaction from your actions when someone you have helped moves on in their lives, stronger and richer from the shared experience. This creates a strong bond with your Divine Self where joy and gifts manifest tenfold to reward you for following your heart. This is the Sacral Chakra connecting you to the most intimate part of you, observing yourself through a connection with another. Without the work achieved from the above points the deep connection would never exist. SACRAL CHAKRA ACTIVATION#7 So here you are rejuvenated and renewed. Shedding the old and glowing within a journey well travelled. Here is the Base Chakra feeling safe and secure, a sense of purpose and control. Here you become the master of your reinvention until, like the Wheel Of Fortune, the next iteration begins its gentle call from within. BASE CHAKRA ACTIVATIONIf you are still unsure where you are or feel unclear where you are on this journey you can do each of the meditations in turn. The meditation that is difficult to complete will be a clue. Repetition is a great way to shift the energy of the chakra and I recommend you continue until you feel clear and calm before moving to the next Chakra.
Learning to be fearless about your future and compassionate towards your gentle heart. Words are important and recognising phrases such as stuck in a rut, self sabotage, fear of change are clues you are in the resistant portion of this renewal. You could cut and run, give up, do the same old thing expecting the same results, or… you could recognise the feeling of discomfort, work with it and lessen the anxiety it creates. When you accept this is your intuition letting you know change is in play life does become much easier, I promise. I am the queen of reinvention. And I have been reflecting on my own life changes while writing this article. Over my lifetime I have shed many layers I have used to protect myself which, in turn, brought a deeper connection to my purpose. It is something that continues this whole life, and into the next. Once upon a time I struggled. These days I prefer to lean into them as they emerge. I find it makes my life much simple. Also, I don’t like losing days to endless overthinking. The evolved Soul can feel the shift and lean into it with grace. You can consciously create the direction of your reinvention. When you realise what you have control over it connects you to your Soul power and not only provides motivation, it gives hope for the future. With love, Vicki Haspels xx Kick start 2022 by jumping into the driver seat, and GO…. I always love the ending of one year and the beginning of another. For me, personally, the renewal energy is very strong as my birthday is January 3rd (I am entering in to a Personal Year #1) Here I share some tried and tested (with my clients and by me) strategies that will help you soar into your best year ever. 1. Get Clear A simple method to focus and refine your future Self and goals. It is powerful and I use it when I feel my Soul shifting direction. It’s not the law of attraction, it’s more like the law of becoming.
My friends, here is the magic…The Divine Intelligence of the Universe or Spirit World is waiting and willing to assist you in all ways. It is now up to you to take advantage of the opportunities when they appear. ** 2. The Future Life Walk Through Use a guided visualisation meditation that connects you to your Higher Heart Self. Once here you can ask to be walked through the year where you will connect to your goals. Before you journey there are a few things to prepare. This exercise is part of Soul Recall Therapy. Here is a guided meditation to assist you to walk into your future. Included are detailed instructions to receive best results. Listen to the meditation here ⬇️ 3. Find a Coach or Mentor I have always found the greatest relief when I am able to discuss my ideas or my blockages with someone who knows the ins and outs of my industry or has the counselling knowledge to guide me to my own answers. This is beyond getting advice from friends, this is reaching for professional assistance. We do not live in a vacuum and finding an understanding heart relieves the crushing helplessness of isolation. Find someone who aligns with your energy. You are wasting your time if you are not speaking the same language and while the shiniest may look great it may not be for you, be discerning. Shop around for whomever shares your vision and will launch you there and beyond. You will know in your heart when you meet them. It is then a small leap from here to connect with your tribe and the sense of community required to stay accountable. And finally, if you are tired of constantly failing or if you have tried all the self help versions and don’t know where else to turn, investing in coach or mentor is priceless. For more information on SoulLife Coaching/Mentoring CLICK HERE 4. Have a decision to make? Take a few deep breaths and place your head in your heart with your question. Your body will let you know yes or no by relaxing or tensing. Your body is your intuition, not your mind. Follow this link for a 5 minute guided meditation to assist with this exercise and once mastered it is a simple and quick check-in. Listen here for the guided lesson ⬇️ Listen To Audio Here
Listen on YouTube Here 5. Find an Accountability Friend It is important to be honest with yourself about what is achievable. When you make the realisation of your dreams dependant on “having” this one thing, or will not happen until we “learn” everything, or are “fully” healed, we are purposefully putting up barriers. How committed are you to achieving your goals? Complete a stocktake of your resources and ask a friend to help, one that is not afraid to tell you the truth. An accountability buddy is a fabulous asset and will definitely get you past that finish line. Don’t forget to return the favour. All friends together! Join the Facebook community HERE 6. Empty The Trash Are you finding your ideas are so amazing, you feel it on a Soul level but still falter when it comes to stepping into those opportunities? Our mind can be the most amazing cheerleader and the most devastating critic. This exercise, The Morning Pages, is from a book called “The Artists Way” by Julia Cameron. This exercise works and is something I practice and wholly endorse. There is nothing else I have come across or could have created that comes close to this. I write every morning and it helps by over-riding any self doubt. The short version: Write three pages of rambling thoughts every morning before you even contemplate beginning your day. Do not re-read your thoughts for at least 8 weeks, if at all. Keep them in a notebook or place them in an envelope. Do this every day without fail.The results are amazing! ** 7. Letting Go Recognising when plans are not working and letting them go is just as powerful as pushing through. Mind your energy reserves and make regular checkpoints to assess progress and commitment. Is there a change of direction needed? Has this goal run its course? Sometimes the original “inspiration” was a launch point and the “failed” plan was the step towards the main event? Understanding your attachment to any outcome can assist in determining whether your plan is ready to be abandoned or adjusted. Self awareness rules here. I have a simple exercise to check using your chakras to check where your idea may be blocked. From this you can decide how you want to proceed or to heal the blockage. When you are ready to give your idea an incredible boost and are ready to work with me to reach your full potential follow this link to BOOK A SESSION Listen To Exercise Here ⬇️ Listen To Audio Here
Listen on YouTube Here Now go forth and make 2022 your best year ever! With love Vicki xx Watch The Video Here ⬇️ I think this is a great way to start a conversation about anger. Anger is not an action, it is an emotion which is one of the body’s neurological responses to stress. When we feel anger it is essential to our survival. It responds to fear.
The physiological responses of bunched muscles, increased heart rate, rapid breathing, just to name a few put us in a state of high alert, ready for action, until we locate the cause of the anger/fear. So what happens next. A while ago it was considered bad form to feel and express anger. We were told it was a sign of weakness, that we must transmute it into love or something more passive. In recent times it is recognised how important it is to recognise and express all of our emotions, even anger. So why does anger feel so scary and why do we, at first, want to push it away? Anger is usually associated with fear. If we face our anger, we must also confront a fear. If your anger is sustainable it will override any anxiety about what we are facing. Perhaps deep down we know the need to release the physical reactions will give us relief. If your anger is short lived and you are left with the fear or anxiety. This is uncomfortable and you may want to push down the fear/anxiety, forget it ever existed, or talk yourself out of it. This could lead to your anger being with you for longer. Unexpressed anger could manifest as physical and/or emotional symptoms. For myself, my personal health issues, stem from unexpressed anger. I remember in my 20’s when I would have an anger release how much my chronic pain receded and how good I felt. It was a revelation… I used my anger to stop fooling myself that my life was going to improve and faced the truth of my situation. I used the momentum of my anger to facilitate change. Every time fear rose up, the anger overtook it. I was tired of making excuses for other peoples poor behaviour but mostly I was tired of making myself small to accommodate that poor behaviour. In a way, my anger made me large and imposing. My anger helped me feel invincible. I was tapped into my truth and nothing could hurt me in that moment. I have seen this played out by the incredible Grace Tame, the current Australian of The Year. You can see her anger is being channelled in a very healthy way. You can see how articulate she is, she does not back down and continues to support herself in every sense. This is what a healthy response to anger gives us. It gives us the power to maintain the courage of our convictions because it is YOUR TRUTH, and no longer will you fall into oppression. Once you feel this amazing innate power you will never forget how strong you were and your energetic vibrations increases, you release another layer and move towards your true nature. You can draw on this memory to never feel that fear again. That is the true gift of anger. You connect to a greater part of you that nothing and nobody will ever violate again. You can build on this feeling because if you can do it once and survive the process then you must be able to apply it again when needed. With love Vicki xx P.S. I do not wish to make light of anger expression when some of us have incredible difficulty verbalising our pain. Ancestral conditioning or even past life repression can be the source of this fear and this type of anger expression and/or release requires specific therapies. (see Spiritual Wellbeing and Past Life Regression for an appointment) Soul Coaching Soul Readings Reiki Tarot Reading School Tarot Readings Past Life Regression Therapy Meditation Last week when we had a discussion around detachment online I found it really interesting the responses to the word I chose…Detach.
In a positive flow, to be detached, means you have reached a point in your life where you have matured in your relationships and do not become emotionally reactive when something you disagree with is raised. In a detached state you are aware of your emotional response to the disagreement and you are able to view it objectively, accept you are upset, and not let the reaction distract you from the discussion. In this type of scenario your perspective can be so clear and you are able to contribute effectively to any discussion. There is nothing wrong with having an emotional response to something you disagree with, by the way, however if you need to keep your mind sharp in any negotiation then detachment is your best friend. Detachment is also great when you are a reader or a healer or any practitioner where you are immersed in your clients lives and their emotions. Detachment allows you to view their situation objectively and the Soul messages are so clear there is no doubt when you bring them through. In the negative flow, detachment feels like a disconnect from everything that feels good in life. You feel sad, alone and in the extreme depressed. This is because you are in denial of your true Self and are so exhausted from suppressing your uncomfortable feelings that your mind closes in on itself for self protection. Once upon a time I lived a life full of the people I loved, people I respected and people who lived less fortunately than me. I felt all the emotions. I took on all the injustices of the world and would sympathise with anybody I thought was being hard done by. I was a classic rescuer. When my own life became traumatic and out of control I had nothing for myself, I became physically, mentally and spiritually depleted. My saving grace was teaching myself detachment. It felt weird because all the things I used to boost my energy such as gossip, showing off, and passive aggressive behaviour all disappeared. What was left felt like a void. I could not relate to my old life/friends and my new life/friends were all new and an unknown quantity. It is a very lonely place. It is in that lonely and quiet place that the only and most important relationship developed. The relationship to myself. I understand now that detachment is really me fully supporting myself. I am my own best friend and I do not need to draw on anybody else’s energy to support a point of view I might not fully believe in. I found the Buddhist teachings on detachment very helpful at the time. It was like I needed that permission to give up my feelings of being fully immersed in my own and everyone else’s drama. To be away from the pain felt like I wasn’t showing I cared. By practicing detachment I was able to connect to my loved ones on a much deeper level. I saw for myself the deepening of our connections to one another. I did not understand, until I got there, that that level of connection was possible. It helped me open myself deeply to the world of Spirit because i was not running from myself. Connection to Spirit requires full self honesty, that is really hard, hard, but worth it. I can’t describe in words how comforting, amazing, safe I felt with those who truly loved me and I can honestly say for the first time ever, not only did I learn to love who I am but I liked myself. We show love to ourselves unconditionally when we feed and clothe ourselves, that is deeply ingrained. To actually like yourself, consciously requires next level courage. Best feeling in the world and now I am my own best friend, forever!! With love Vicki xx Tarot Readings Psychic Readings Crystal Reiki Past Life Regression Therapy Soul Coaching Tarot Reading School |
