JD LeJeune Navigates The Dreamland

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.

DailyOM Horoscope

Timely: Some further prompting from the Universe that change is in the air. I trust.

You may feel inspired today and motivated by the realizations that it might be time to make significant changes to your life. Perhaps you’ve been giving some thought to the quality of your relationships, health, work, or home life, and you see how you can take a specific area of your life to a new level. It may be a good idea to make a list of the changes you would like to implement. You can make another list of steps you could take to make each change a reality. Try to be honest with yourself and realistic about how long it may take to implement all the changes you want. It’s also good to be compassionate with yourself today because you may not be able to make those changes immediately.

Being able to honestly assess ourselves and our lives allows us to make changes that improve our overall reality. When we can tell ourselves the truth about what area of our life needs improvement, we can make the changes we need. We realize that we are the creators of our reality and do not need to look to anyone else as the source for any dissatisfaction we may be experiencing. Honestly assess your life today and your role in creating every aspect of it, and you will feel confident about making any significant changes you are ready for.

The Places We Go DailyOM

Timely: As I have questions arise about my purpose and what I really want to do with my life I seem to unconsciously slip into a place of victim hood. Being a victim of life..etc. It seems that the more I discover about myself the more darkness that arises to be dealt with and healed. This will be an amazing process!

In life, most of us want things to go to the places we have envisioned ourselves going. We have plans and visions, some of them divinely inspired, that we want to see through to completion. We want to be happy, successful, and healthy, all of which are perfectly natural and perfectly human. So when life takes us to places we didn’t consciously want to go, we often feel as if something has gone wrong, or we must have made a mistake somewhere along the line, or any number of other disheartening possibilities. This is just life’s way of taking us to a place we need to go for reasons that go deeper than our own ability to reason. These hard knocks and trials are designed to shed light on our unconscious workings and deepen our experience of reality.

Often it takes something major to wake us up, to shake us loose from our ego’s grip as it struggles to maintain an illusion of control. It is loss of control more than anything else that humbles us and enables us to see the big picture. It reminds us that the key to the universe lies in what we do not know, and what we do know is a small fraction of the great mystery in which we live. This awareness softens and lightens us, as we release our resistance to what is. Another gift gleaned from going to these seemingly undesirable places is that, in our response to difficulty, we can see all the patterns and unresolved emotional baggage that stand in the way of our unconditional joyfulness. Joy exists within us independently of whether things go our way or not. And when we don’t feel it, we can trust that we will find it if we are willing to surrender to the situation, moving through it as we move through our difficult feelings.

We can take our inspiration from any fairy tale that finds its central character lost in a dark wood, frightened and alone. We know that the journey through the wood provides its own kind of beauty and richness. On the other side, we will emerge transformed, lighter and brighter, braver and more confident for having moved through that darkness.
