Love Oracle 26: Know Thyself

What do you want in life?

Where do you imagine yourself being in 5 or 10 years?

What are you passionate about? What brings you joy?

What matters most to you?

You’d think these questions would be easy to answer, but for many, they’re not! 

If you’re stumped at these questions, you’re likely not living your life to the fullest. Maybe you’re just going along day by day going through the motions.

Do you feel you’re wasting your precious life? Are you living the life others wanted you to live? Do you envy those who seem to be living in alignment with their True Self?

Whether you’re at a complete loss as to who you truly are or simply want to live more in alignment to your values, your faith, your purpose – it’s a good thing you’re here.

Are you ready to shift life into gear? Your gear?  Know thyself.

Ask your Team of Divine Helpers “How can I know myself better to live in alignment with my Higher Self?” Then see which of the paintings above draws you the most.

Once you’ve picked your painting, scroll down to read its Oracle Message. Then, remember to take inspired action to get to know yourself even better.

Dear Beloved,

How can you add space in your life to reconnect to your Self?

Is your life so noisy you can’t hear your Self? Perhaps it’s like that by design – so you wouldn’t have to listen. Or is this simply a super busy chapter of your life by nature?

If you’ve picked this painting, it’s time to create space for you to pause, just be, and listen in Nature.

Reconnect to the magic of the natural world, to the Elements. They can help you.

You are a part of Nature. Does that concept feel foreign to contemplate or oh so true!?

By developing your relationship with nature, you reconnect to both the human and spirit nature of your being. 

Spending time in nature is great for grounding to Mother Earth, connecting to the Universe and tuning in to your intuition.

So get your bare feet on the ground or your bare hands in the snow or in the earth. Hug a tree. Make snow angels in the park or hike along the coast. Are there any hot springs nearby? Are you a polar dipper?

You can choose to take 15 minutes in your backyard or a week at an exotic destination, but whatever you choose, don’t fill that time with distractions.  

Pause. Listen. Meditate. Ask and be open to receive answers. Follow your flow. Let the weather, the creatures, the scenery talk to you.

If you have specific questions in your life or are faced with difficult decisions, try an Intuitive Walkabout in a natural setting.

You may feel jittery or bored. It takes a while to decompress or to get used to a slower truer rhythm of life.

Memories may come up of what you used to love doing outside. How can you live the essence of that memory today?

This may be cliche, but success is a journey, not a destination. Remember to take the time to enjoy the journey of life. Your inbox will still be full when it’s time to transition to the next phase of your soul’s life.

So how can you appreciate this life in this body in this time and place on Earth? How can you cultivate a nourishing partnership with nature? 

It’s there for you. You’re also meant to be there for it – in whatever way is meant for you.

Think about that and take inspired action – schedule time in nature and follow through. You not only need it, you deserve it.

Dear Beloved,

You are everything that you’ve ever experienced – in this lifetime, and if you believe it, in previous ones too.

Who you are today is part nature and part nurture.

Knowing what has brought you here and now is a great way to understand why you act and think the way you do.

Self-understanding can lead to shifts in lifestyle, career paths, perspectives, behaviours, and so much more. 

Do you know who you are? Do you know what brings out the best in you? The worst?

Do you feel you’re living on purpose?

What self-discovery tools do you find the most fun, the most revealing?

Is it astrology? genealogy? Akashic Records? numerology? spiritual books? journaling? personality tests? mindfulness? exploring interests? discussions with various kinds of people? reflecting on your past? professional therapy?

The list could go on and on.

If you’ve picked this painting, you’re being encouraged to delve deeper into self-awareness play in whatever form speaks most to you.

It’s an invitation to step off the hamster wheel to take a good look at yourself, so that you can more consciously choose the who, what, when, where, why and how of your next best steps in life.

And remember to Lighten Up. You’re a spiritual being in human form for the fun of it.

Happy trails!

Dear Beloved,

Are you having relationship problems in your life? Meditate.

Are you having financial difficulties? Meditate.

Is your health challenging you? Meditate.

I recently heard something like this in a sermon. It certainly confirmed my decision to spend 2 months at an ashram to learn to meditate at a deeper level.

According to Paramhansa Yogananda’s teachings:

“As you progress in meditation, gradually you experience an ever-increasing inner peace and joy that comes from the soul. In the most exalted states, your soul realizes its complete oneness with God. This is the goal of meditation — ecstatic, superconscious, blissful divine communion, which is called samadhi.”

Doesn’t that sound amazing?

This takes time. Lifetimes. It takes motivation. It takes practice. It takes finding the kind of meditation that resonates most with you.

If you’ve picked this painting, you’re being asked to ponder if what’s described above is a priority for you. 

If you’ve answered yes, take inspired action. Over and over again. 

Seek the teachers that align with your soul callings. Dedicate the time. Invest in your ascension.

With that growing inner peace, all your challenges and problems will seem different. You’ll connect to inspired actions. Miracles and magic will appear on your path.

Reflect on how reading this was received.

How do you feel about meditation? What makes it easier for you to meditate? Can you arrange more of that in your life?

And if you think this painting had a different message for you, great! Meditate on it. 

Peace be with you!
