DailyOM Horoscope

Timely: More signs of the greatness which dwells within.

You could be holding onto memories of the past today, which could make it seem that things are out of your immediate control. Feelings about your family or early childhood may trigger intense emotional reactions to other aspects of your life. This could lead you to assume that you need to find some way to fill the hollowness you feel. Perhaps today you might want to work on letting go of the past. You can visualize taking your emotional reactions to your memories and fashioning them into a ball. Feel the heaviness of the ball and notice how it weighs you down. Then imagine throwing the ball as far as you can. This allows you to see that you and the ball of the past are separate. You may find that this helps you to lessen the emotional impact of your memories.

When we find ourselves reacting emotionally to our memories, it is important to recognize that the past cannot hurt us in the present. The only way the past can continue to hold its grip on us is if we cling to it. By picturing ourselves throwing away our negative emotional ties with the past, we learn to recognize that our past emotions do not define who we are at present. While we can value the lessons the past has taught us, we begin to acknowledge that the present moment is all that matters. Learning to release the past today will help you fill any sense of emptiness you feel with the fullness of the present.

Today’s Card of the Day is the 9 of Wands - Angel Paths

Timely: As I read more and more about Huna and prepare for the upcoming intensive, I am pointed (often) to signs that what lies in the subconscious is a blessing. Although we may have beliefs that were programmed in a long time ago, which could be having us create patterns in our life that “seem” wrong, in the end they offer a contrasting canvas that we can observe and refocus on something much more in alignment with our true nature. This is great stuff!

When we reach deep inside ourselves, with a heart that is unafraid and accepting, we will discover new depths of strength and power. These deep reaches of wisdom, which lay dormant with in the subconscious until we are brave enough to search them out, will bring balance and equilibrium. And from new centredness will arise an unshakeable trust in ourselves that will carry us forward through life.

It’s true that when we travel deep inside ourselves, we will also find material that we might prefer to leave unacknowledged - but the 9 of Wands, Lord of Strength, reminds us that in being true to ourselves we release energies that will help us to deal with whatever we find within. And after all, whatever lies inside our own subconscious is, for better or for worse, a part of us.

When the 9 of Wands turns up in a reading, we can be re-assured that we have what it takes to get by. Even in times of stress and difficulty, inner strength will rise up to guide us forward toward our goals. And in the process we shall learn more about ourselves and our abilities, gaining a new all-round perspective which brings security and self-confidence.

This card tell us to trust ourselves. We have everything we need. There is no necessity to analyse nor question. And absolutely no excuse to give in to doubt!

Today’s Affirmation is: I acknowledge and grow into my strength.

Timely: I feel as though I’m moving in a new direction in many areas of life lately. I have to admit that it has it’s ups and downs! Sometimes letting go of an old habit, situation, friend, hobby can seem like a bad thing when in fact it is a very good thing. Much to ponder!

Consciously Reconnecting DailyOM

Timely: As I study more and more about Huna I consciously have been addressing my subconcious and superconcious minds. Over the weekend I’ve had an number of circumstances where I have felt what someone was about to say and seen what someone was about to do. It’s really cool and exciting.

There may be times when we feel like our connection to the universe is closed. Maybe things don’t seem to be going well in our day, or our lives, or we may feel out of our element. The truth is, the universe is always there for us. We know that we create our experience with our thoughts, and this is another way we need to make a conscious decision about how we want to experience life. It is up to us to do the work of making the connection, because nobody can do it for us, though sometimes the universe may send us wake-up calls.

You can think of it as getting some fresh air. We are always breathing and the air is always around us, surrounding us, moving through us. But we may need to step outside of where we are in the moment—physically, mentally, or emotionally—and make the conscious choice to take a deep breath in order to feel the air coming in and going out. Whether this means stepping outside physically or merely shifting our thoughts, it is only our perception that changes; the air remains the same.

It is just as easy to reconnect with the universe. Using the same technique as a breath of fresh air, a deep breath can bring us back to our center. As we inhale, we fill our bodies with the oxygen needed to replenish our most basic physical needs, allowing the air to circulate within us. Exhaling, we release the stale, the used, the potentially toxic air, removing any blocks that may keep us from going deeper into the stillness that lies at our center where we connect to the universe. Feeling closed off does not need to be a negative experience. When we become conscious of it, we can think of the wholeness of a closed circuit, which allows electricity to connect and flow properly. Our bodies work the same way, and when we make that connection in our minds, it can help bring us back to the connection we seek.
