The Enchanted Map - Chapter 12

Climbed up a mountain, stepped on a molehill


Remember Horton, the Ellie?

As is usual when a big event passes successfully, you get home satisfied, exhausted and wide-eyed with residue nervous energy! The joys of big days and their aftermath.

In my tired, elated and frazzle-eyed state, I probably donned Horton the Ellie's costume, instead of my nighties, accidentally... because next moment, chatter-brain emerged, loud and unclear! Oi.

21 November 2013

One more question: "Why do certain memories persist, when they should be flying off to greener pastures? And when will my 'great business idea' arrive?"

I drew one card: Rock Bottom (10)

The mantra reads: "Surrender and Acceptance are the Keys to Freedom.

Go figure!  This is what the card says further: "The only way out is through surrender: accept things as they are and admit you have no idea what to do next."

Well, that's truer than blue... what's a girl to do with unwanted feelings and unrealised ideas? But wait, there's more: "Wait in a heartfelt moment of release, and a stairway will appear magically, and synchronicities will show you the way out. A miracle can only happen when you let go completely."

Golly-gosh, I thought, easier read than done! As I'm packing the cards away, one more falls into my lap.

The card is: Wishing Well (48)

The mantra reads: "Desire is the sacred impulse for life. Feel it, but let go of all attachment to ownership."


Wee interlude


My name, Lani, means blue sky or heaven in Hawaiian (the name of my daughter, Leia, means gift from heaven :). An alternate meaning to mine is dreamer who makes dreams come true. Given how often I draw the Wishing Well and Magical Map Shifter cards, it would seem True North alignment with Spirit is all that stands between me and the deepest realisation of my name!


Back to the business of wishing wells...


To me, what fell into my lap was an affirmation that I shouldn't fight my feelings so stubbornly, because they too shall pass (thanks Heavens!) Feelings, after all, puts you in a relationship with Inspiration, heightens your senses and brings on that elusive A-HA moment when everything makes sense!

The card reads: "Unseen forces enable new beginnings. You can co-create new life with Divine Intelligence: when you're in tune: this partnership activates the field of possibilities."

In my mind's eye, I see it as a chequerboard lighting up... the "bigger picture" and its pathways in focus... like seeing through a holographic picture.

The card leaves me with a warning as a parting shot that Ego needs to take a hike so that Body and Spirit can channel Higher Forces, without me knowing How and When.

"Intention has been broadcast - now trust Spirit." I nearly fell over sideways! A direct reference to the Sacred Desire I was invited to broadcast and surrender to Spirit on 13 November... which I did as earnestly as a Catholic school girl offering up her first kiss :)

On that note: Good Night World! I surrender to my nighties, Horton's departure and a well-deserved, long sought-after good night's sleep!
