July’s Theme: Clarity

Hesitation is a natural human response. We all experience it at some point in our lives. But when hesitation becomes chronic, it can hold us back from reaching our full potential.

If you find yourself hesitating all the time, it’s important to understand why. Are you afraid of failure? Are you worried about what other people will think? Or are you simply overwhelmed by the choices you have to make? This is where some self-exploration and even “shadow work” can help you assess your relationship with hesitation. Is it healthy or chronic?

Oracle or Tarot card activity: Ask the cards what the root cause behind your chronic hesitation is. What is a sign to look for to signal that you are hesitating? What is behind this current bout of hesitation – is it rooted in a real need to pause or is it rooted in a habit of indecision? What are the steps to move past this moment of hesitation? Or, how to overcome chronic bouts of hesitation?

Once you know why you’re hesitating, you can start to take steps to overcome it. Here are a few tips:

1. Identify your fears. What are you afraid of happening if you move forward? Once you know what you’re afraid of, you can start to challenge those fears and develop strategies for overcoming them. Do divination to explore why you have these fears.

2. Set realistic goals. If you set your sights too high, you’re likely to feel overwhelmed and give up. Instead, break your goals down into smaller, more manageable steps. This will make them seem less daunting and more achievable.

3. Take action. The best way to overcome hesitation is to simply take action. Don’t wait for the perfect moment or the perfect plan. Just start moving forward, even if it’s just a small step. A small step is moving forward – remember that!

4. Trust yourself. You have the skills and abilities to achieve your goals. Believe in yourself and your ability to succeed.

Hesitation can be a powerful force, but it doesn’t have to control you. By following these tips, you can overcome hesitation and move forward with confidence.

Embody the energy of the Fool card…take a leap of faith and just jump in…trusting it will be alright in the end.

Here are some additional tips for moving forward with confidence:

▪️Visualize success. Imagine yourself achieving your goal and how it will make you feel. This will help you stay motivated and focused.

▪️Surround yourself with positive people. People who believe in you and your ability to succeed will help you stay positive and motivated.

▪️Celebrate your successes. When you reach a milestone or complete a task, take some time to celebrate your success. This will help you build confidence and momentum.

Moving forward with confidence is not always easy, but it is possible. By following these tips, you can overcome hesitation and achieve your goals.

Explore Your Relationship with the Divine Masculine

June 11, 2024June 11, 2024 Kim Abundant Life Tarot

June’s Theme: Archetype

We are approaching Father’s Day and this is a great opportunity to explore our relationship with the Divine Masculine. Even if you feel balanced and harmonious with divine masculine energy, it is an interesting exercise to see how you connect and even celebrate it in your life consistently. Just as a loving, nurturing, and involved father figure can help one feel safe and loved, the same can be said for when we have a wounded relationship with a male figure. Heartache, neglect, and trauma have caused many of us to move away from the Divine Masculine. Even on the subconscious level, there may be a resistance that is not easily seen in an awakened state.

The Divine masculine doesn’t just encompass the persons who identify as male, but it is much more than that. In each of us lies Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energy. There are times when we are being ruled by one over the other. Divine Feminine is about yin, receptive, and rest energy. Divine Masculine is about yang and action-oriented energy. It can represent fatherly or paternal energy, but divine masculine doesn’t automatically mean someone who is a father. Another aspect of the Divine Masculine is the archetype of a lover in a person’s relationship.

Use the following questions as journal or spread prompts and consider the following:

How do you feel when you hear the words “Divine Masculine?” Why do you feel that way? (Positive or negative)
What or who represents the Divine Masculine energy in your life?
What is your relationship with the Divine Masculine?
How can you connect more to the Divine Masculine essence in your life?

The Beloved Dead: An Oracle for Divining Ancestral Wisdom by Carrie Paris and Tina Hardt

Another exercise to consider is using a deck like Caroline Myss’ Archetypes Oracle and selecting cards that represent Divine Masculinity. You could shuffle and pick at random or intentionally pick out the cards. Either way, it is an interesting exercise in forming your own associations with the Divine Masculine energy.

The Beloved Dead and Archetype Cards by Carolynn Myss

As we head towards Father’s Day, consider adding new offerings to celebrate or explore our internal relationships with the Divine Masculine. Work with clients who need healing from being involved in a heavily patriarchal environment. Help those who grapple with broken relationships with masculine energy. Run a sale that celebrates Father’s Day and create an offering with fathers in mind. Most importantly, check in with yourself and see how you are doing with the fatherly archetype or the Divine Masculine energy in your life.

Explore Your Personal Myths | What’s Happening at Poised to Leap

June 3, 2024June 2, 2024 Kim Abundant Life Tarot

June’s Theme: Archetype

The word of the month is Archetype. In today’s blog post, we explore the many archetypes we embody in our everyday lives. We are parents, children, creators, employees, bosses, and friends, and wear many other hats in our lives. We also employ stories that are on a repeat reel in our minds about who are and our place in the world.

We all have myths that we live by. These are the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, what we’re capable of, and what our place in the world is. Some of these myths are helpful and empowering, while others can be limiting and self-destructive. Can you think of myths you tell yourself? Are they negative or positive?

What is the origin of a particular myth you tell yourself? Take time to explore what they are so you can embrace the uplifting ones while releasing the ones that do not serve your highest good.

How to Explore Your Personal Myths

There are many ways to explore your personal myths. Here are a few suggestions:

▪️Readings: Look at the various archetypes you hold about yourself and ask whether they are helping or hurting your overall well-being. You can use an Oracle or Tarot deck.

▪️Journaling: Writing about your thoughts and feelings can help you to identify your personal myths.

▪️Meditation: Meditation can help you to quiet your mind and connect with your inner wisdom.

▪️Dreamwork: Dreams can offer insights into your personal myths.

▪️Therapy: A therapist can help you to explore your personal myths and develop healthier ways of thinking.

Benefits of Exploring Your Personal Myths

There are many benefits to exploring your personal myths. Here are a few:

▪️Increased self-awareness: Exploring your personal myths can help you to become more aware of who you are and what you want out of life.

▪️Greater self-acceptance: Exploring your personal myths can help you to accept yourself for who you are, flaws and all.

▪️More fulfilling relationships: Exploring your personal myths can help you build more fulfilling relationships with others.

▪️A more meaningful life: Exploring your personal myths can help you to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Our personal myths have a powerful impact on our lives. By exploring our personal myths, we can gain greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and fulfillment.
