Do you ever feel the need for a wee bit of tangibility when it comes to accessing your inner knowing? I certainly do on occasion!
Being woo-woo, I know, I ‘know’ stuff, however sometimes I simply need inner validation of the ‘stuff’ I know. And when I say inner validation, I truly mean inner validation. The empowerment and peace I seek will never be found outside of myself. True serenity will always be an inside job. Always.
What do I mean by tangible inner validation? This could truly mean anything to everyone. Some folks use a muscle testing approach, for example. I once knew a woo-woo soul who would physically lean into her inner knowing. If her body swayed one way, it meant ‘yes’ and the other way would mean ‘no’. A human pendulum if you will.
For me, my first port of call when I’m feeling a wee bit discombobulated about the information flowing through, I pull cards – Oracle and/or Tarot.
For those of you who don’t know this – I am a card-aholic! Yes, I’m publicly declaring this! And if you did already know this, you may not know as part of my woo-woo toolkit, I am a Certified Soul Coaching® Oracle Reader and a Angel Tarot reader and my current collection consists of about 40 different hard copy decks and 20 e-decks, as you never know what your soul may be in the mood for on any given day or indeed where you may be when you need to pull a card!
Cards are one of the main ways I connect with my Soul/Higher Self, to access answers I know I have within me, but my logical brain shuts out on occasion. Sometimes the cards give my inner knowing a ‘oh but of course’ nudge and sometimes I have to do a wee bit more pondering to unravel the seemingly ‘what the…’ message! Either way, I do not rely on the cards for answers. They are simply a reflection of what my inner knowing or true self is already aware of and my thinking mind needs to catch up.
And when I am working with clients to re-ignite their own Elegant Rebel® and cards are chosen as a part of a coaching session, I don’t actually read for my clients either. I know, weird hey! It’s not that I cannot or do not want too. My desired end result is for my clients to be able to access their own inner knowing whenever they feel need. The ‘loaves and fishes’ approach to cartomancy if you will.
When working with a client, I take them through a specific visualisation process to discover how they can do this and tap into their own true self and inner knowing – wherever and whenever they want or need to. Of course, I will share any ‘mystical nudges’ with my clients, as necessary, throughout their session. However, the aim is to share knowledge and wisdom about how to access their own inner knowing.
Like shiny rocks, card decks have always found me. I recently fell in love with Alana Fairchild’s Sacred Rebel deck while in the middle of Big W of all places. How could this Elegant Rebel® walk past I ask you? And what a find! What a connection! Truly authentically rebellious cards. I always give my clients the option to choose the deck that resonates most with them to work with or if they are a card-aholic like me, I encourage BYOD (bring your own deck)! I do get quite excited when they’re drawn to this deck – it is certainly not for the feint-hearted!
Cards are just one of the tools in my Elegant Rebel® toolkit. My other favourites are pendulums, soul writing, song lyrics and shamanic journeying. Do you have your own favourite tools which help you connect with your inner knowing? Or are you simply a card-aholic like me? What works best for you? Drop me a message and let me know!
