Tune in to Your 'Inner Oracle'

How do you know which path to take, which opportunity or decision is 'right', and what timing is optimal? How does your intuition and 'higher guidance' speak to you?

Gathering perspectives and information from outside of ourselves can be valuable, but ultimately our own Inner Oracle will guide us most truly.

If you'd like to explore your Feminine gifts of intuition, oracle, vision, and other guidance, it's not too late to join us for tomorrow's "Tap in & Tune In to Your Inner Oracle" call for the Feminine Mojo Mystery School.

With things shifting, swirling, and changing all around us, it's important to strengthen our connection with our Inner Oracle -- the ways we receive, process and translate the guidance that can lead us in the direction of heart-and-soul.

Tomorrow's Feminine Mojo Mystery School tele-gathering will offer an introduction to our Inner Oracle, including some of the ways we receive information (how do we know?), how our feelings offer clues, how Life guides us, and how to use divination tools like tarot or pendulums to reflect or validate our own intuition and guidance.

And we'll have a special guest: FMMS faculty member, Kim Gould, of Love Your Design (Australia) will join us to share how she regularly works with tarot and oracle decks for guidance, and what clues she receives from her body wisdom.

Register now for the Feminine Mojo Mystery School and join us for tomorrow's call (11/4 at 4:30 Eastern), or to receive the audio and other Feminine Mojo Mystery School perks.

Looking forward to tuning into the Oracle with you!

FeMojo Blessings,

Jamie

Called Into Authenticity

Everything is calling us back into a remembrance of who we truly are, so we can bring the fullness of our gifts, of our Selves, into this world at this time of Great Turning. The memory of our own Divine purpose, our own contribution to the Great Work of these times, rests within us.

Many Mystery and Indigenous traditions cite the 'Divine Gifts' with which we are imbued: conscious focus, intention, and imagination, all sourced from Divine Love, Infinite Spirit ... that Great Intelligence out of which we are born, and which lives within us even when we're deep in forgetting.

Variations of these Divine Gifts include presence, thought, concentration, feeling ... as in 'full sensory imagining' of the sort that animates and activates. The late Yogi Bhajan called it 'vibrating the cosmos' (and the cosmos will respond).

The energy and vibrational work common to various Indigenous and Wisdom traditions, and reinterpreted by some contemporary healers, can heal, transmute, and release the blocks or 'overlays' to our expression of our authentic nature...the 'funk' we pick up along the way.

The knowledge (gnosis), rituals, and practices of these traditions helps us to hone and use these gifts to 'dream a new dream' in service of Divine Love, beauty, joy, and an abundance that blesses all and that is in harmony with all.

To me, this remembrance and reclaiming of Divine Gifts and their conscious, harmonious use allows us to come more fully into conscious livelihood/business and sacred relationship. In remembering our Sacred Selves, the sacredness of all Life's expression, our relationships and our work becomes sacred expression. We gift others in small and large ways with the fullness, the richness, of our beautiful Being.

Blessings on the Way,

Cicada 'Medicine' - Emergence, and Leaving the Old Shell Behind

Recently, while at a music festival in the rolling hills and farmlands Southeast of Albany, New York, we had a most amazing lesson in emergence.

A cicada situated itself on the underside of a tarp at our tent, and over the course of the next hour, slowly extricated itself from its old, armadillo-like casing, hung upside down as gravity assisted with the separation, very slowly restored itself to a horizontal position near the shell, clung to it for a bit to gain strength, unfurled its new wings and let them dry and strengthen, and tucked itself further under the tarp to ride out a rainstorm before flying away.

Since this doesn't happen right before my eyes on the average day, I took is as a teaching, as 'medicine' or wisdom being delivered, as is the way of many Indigenous wisdom traditions. Everything speaks, and if you're paying attention, you can receive helpful and valuable guidance.

The message delivered by the cicada was twofold: one, in showing us its process of emergence from the old shell; and two, in the message given by the cicada's whole life cycle.

A cicada's life cycle begins when a female cicada deposits her eggs in the bark of a tree or twig. When the eggs hatch, the new cicada drops to the ground and burrows. It spends much of its 13-17 year life as a creature of the underground. Then, when it's time for emergence, it tunnels to the surface, sheds its old shell and takes flight.

Cicadas are also known for their unique music, often heard in the heat of the North American Summer months of July and August.

Symbolically, the cicada gives us the message of transformation, shedding the old skin and emerging into a new life cycle and a new cycle of expression -- of sharing our unique music with the world. It shows us that the process of shedding skin takes patience, strength, and faith, with no small degree of vulnerability and 'hanging upside down' while the forces of gravity pull us from our old norm, but it is a process and will proceed to the unfolding of our new 'wings' and the shucking of our old, no-longer-appropriate shells.

The cicada also tells us of the wisdom that our journeys 'below the surface' can yield us; the wisdom we can 'sing' or share when we return to the surface and take flight, with a new song to sing.

Blessings on the Way,

Jamie
