The Enchanted Map - Chapter 7

Changes afoot, a-mouth and asunder


Intro


In business, great opportunities are only as good as their launch pad. This may just as well be applied to any energetic pursuit - and the scrapping thereof. By now, I'd had plenty opportunity to rehash my responsibilities - driven in no small part by their sincere insistence on being heard! From my GIBS final assignment requiring ardent attention, to the Awards project for my SME campaign looming, to all my Journal articles sharing a single deadline, to the request for active friendship expressed by existing and new friends in my life... My life had to do like the show: GO ON.

Sometimes the head has to drag the heart and body along, like 5-year-olds throwing a silly tantrum. Only late at night when Lei's asleep do I express my feelings to myself. Particularly irritating, is a certain genie that visits at the most inopportune times to remind me of moments, tssk!

I asked the Question: 'If I'm so wrong, how can I get out of this dead-lock?'

I drew two cards:     Strength (44)   Dragon's Lair (19)
But two more cards fell in my lap:   Ride the Wave (14)   Wishing Well (48)

Amazingly, I realise almost instantly that my query was really about my mind, body, heart, soul relationship, and about how or why they sometimes seem to pull me in completely opposite directions!

True North is my sacred desire, read the first message. To attain it, I must practise patiently the skills of courage and strength by uniting myself in alignment with Spirit.

To be avoided are false desires and identity, and those draining my life force. As I'm not the only one being tested, I must let go any attachment, so that magic may find its form in me as an energy channel. I got it, first time, loud and clear, this time round.

By practising mindfulness (which means un-attachment to what happens in and around me), desire can transform into inspiration - that A-Ha moment when it all makes sense. As nobody can know how or why divine intelligence creates magical possibilities, might as well bury the hatchet, and play along...

Building resilience refers to how quickly you recover from being upset; while mindfulness refers to catching yourself before you get trapped in an emotion. Awareness is key.

At least, via the Wishing Well, I could first state and let go of my intention, then leave it to Spirit...the rest was all affirmations, like my connections (networks) becoming more potent (which I could see through work and new friendships and old reconciliations forming, sprouting really)! With strength and success on my side, and the awareness that I must test my friendships for their quality and build stamina by taking things easy for a while, I am now secure in the knowledge that I'm protected and divinely directed.

Even the way in which my energy (with the pendulum and cards) have become one with my intuition, proven by the synchronicity that has seeped into my interactions with the outside world, have been so very reaffirming for my beliefs in my own substance and longevity!

I now know how to protect myself and how to harness temptation and intrigue with logic and insight, to build stable new friendships. Awesome!
