A wonderful Sunday afternoon, my dear friends!

How are you? Just stop for a moment and check in on yourselves – how are you feeling? Is there something troubling you at the moment?

Have you thought about taking a holistic approach to something that is troubling you?

The present energies gently remind us that the body is a miracle which possesses the amazing ability to heal itself and that there are lots of alternatives to Western medicine. Although alternative therapies do in no way always replace the conventional approach, the holistic approach to health does support our bodies’ healing processes and shows us ways to care for ourselves in natural ways. A good start is to get plenty of fresh air, drink a healthy amount of fresh, still water and eat a good, healthy diet (preferably foods that suit your blood type). An experienced therapist, counsellor or even a good self-help book can give us much-needed support.

The fairy in the card at the top uses magic to mend her friend’s wing in the gentle light of the Moon to heal and prepare her for the exciting changes that lie ahead. The dawn is imminent, and the stars are watching from above and reassure us that we are never alone. They also remind us to view things from a higher vantage point.

The present energies are favourable to forgive ourselves and others. Instead of blaming ourselves and others that have wronged us, it is a good time to forgive and to draw a line under the past, where we think we have done wrong. It is very rare that we deliberately choose to do something wrong. We always tend to do what we think is the right choice at the time. Only afterwards, we realise that we might have done better or walked a different path in life. We always get the chance to say sorry to those we may have hurt and to change our direction. Life always gives us second chances.

We are lovingly reminded that, before we can move forward, it is important for us to accept where we are now. This is a time where we are supported to tie up loose ends as we are nearing the completion of a cycle or project (that’s the new dawn augured in the card with the fairies). It is much more difficult, if not impossible, to move forward if we are leaving things unfinished. This means to reflect on what has passed and to accept matters as they are. So, let’s close that door, write that letter, make that call and make amends if need be so we are feeling refreshed and excited about the future. Hope is a crucial ingredient for success in life.

Dagaz (the rune) wants to remind us that darkness is always followed by dawn! We are encouraged and supported to continue on our paths to self-improvement, self-care and to think and act positively.

 

Finally, let’s take a look at the charms. The skull stands for the letting go of the “old” so that we make space for the “new”. The ballet shoes encourage us to take a more light-hearted approach to any challenges. The swan stands for devotion and grace. The butterfly heralds transformation, change, hope and encourages us to make the best out of each day. The crab wants to help us to set boundaries for ourselves and to teach others how to treat us. The winged pig indicates that we can achieve whatever we want. Anything is possible! And last but not least, the bird encourages us to see things from a higher perspective and wants to bring us hope and enlightenment.

 

“Some important lessons to take with you this week: Let people be where they are and leave them there if you have to. Learn to accept situations for exactly what they are and stop putting so much energy into what you don’t have control over. And not every action needs a reaction. Oh, and one more – keep it up! You’re doing an amazing job looking out for yourself.”

Sending you all so much love,

Mon and Max
