Poised to Leap Weekly Blog Post: To be Sovereign in Your Life is to be Free of What No Longer Serves You

March’s Theme: Sovereignty 

As the ruler and overseer of your life, you get to choose what stays and goes and what remains attached to you and your energy. We are experiencing a full moon eclipse in Aries on March 25, 2024. This is a great time to assess, detox, forgive, move on, and release. Are there relationships or situations that have continuously drained you, but you are not sure of how to move on from them? 

Now is the time to get real about an exit strategy. You can start the process today by making a plan. Whether it is a dead-end job or relationship, or a home that you have outgrown, begin to plan your next chapter today. Perhaps you have a cluttered space that you have been meaning to tackle – let this be the week that you get started and intentionally clear the space. 

Maybe you have been wanting to let go of some habits that you know are holding you back. Spend two to three minutes each day this week visualizing what it would be like in your life without the habit of having sovereignty in your life. Feel what it would be like for you to have new, positive, life-affirming habits in its place, focusing on how these new changes are beautifully impacting your life. 

Here are some journal or card prompts to help you this week in reclaiming sovereignty in an area of your life: 

1. Where in my life do I need to turn a page or start anew? 

2. What do I need to change before I can commit to doing this? 

3. Am I willing to do it this week? Why or why not? 

Need help in getting started following through on a goal or eradicating a negative habit? Consider joining Poised to Leap.

Sovereignty in Tarot Readings and Coaching Clients | What’s Happening at Poised to Leap

Kim Abundant Life Tarot

In the realm of spiritual entrepreneurship, it’s crucial to maintain sovereignty over your business and your life. In essence, you are the King or Queen of your business and what you say, goes. Sometimes clients will place a huge amount of blind faith and turn over their power to their coaches, counselors, or readers. It feels safer for them to relinquish their decision-making to someone else, but our work as healers is to illuminate their inner wisdom so they can build confidence in navigating their challenges. 

In the context of coaching or mentoring others and Tarot readings, sovereignty translates into conducting readings that empower clients and promote their self-discovery, rather than fostering dependency on the reader or the coach.

Here are a few key principles to consider when practicing sovereignty in Tarot readings:

1. Respect Client Autonomy:

🪷Recognize that clients possess the wisdom and power to make their own decisions.

🪷Encourage clients to reflect on the cards and their interpretations, rather than solely relying on the reader’s guidance.

2. Focus on Empowerment:

🪷Use Tarot readings as a tool to empower clients, helping them uncover their inner strength and potential.

🪷Avoid creating a dynamic where clients become overly dependent on the reader for answers.

3. Promote Self-Reflection:

🪷Encourage clients to engage in self-reflection and introspection.

🪷Provide insights that stimulate clients’ critical thinking and personal growth.

4. Set Clear Boundaries:

🪷Establish clear boundaries regarding the scope and nature of your readings.

🪷Communicate your limitations and avoid taking on responsibilities beyond your expertise.

5. Practice Ethical Conduct:

🪷Uphold ethical standards by maintaining confidentiality, respecting client privacy, and avoiding exploitation.

🪷Refrain from making predictions or promises that cannot be guaranteed.

🪷If you do make predictions, be sure to express that nothing is set in stone and people are subjected to free will – thus there are no absolutes that can be predicted.

6. Foster a Collaborative Relationship:

🪷Approach readings as a collaborative process, where the client actively participates in interpreting the cards.

🪷Encourage clients to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

7. Support Client Growth:

🪷Aim to support clients in their personal growth journey.

🪷Provide guidance that helps clients establish their intuition and develop their own connection with the Tarot.

One of the books that I found very helpful on this topic that we deep-dived into last year as a part of Poised to Leap was The Ethical Psychic, by Dr. Jennifer Vest. This book is a must-have for the professional healer, as it helps you navigate the challenges and pitfalls that come with the territory of psychic healing. There are a total of six videos and Zoom replays devoted to this very topic in our Poised to Leap Video Repository. 

Some of the topics featured in Poised to Leap: 

➡️How to Become an Ethical Practitioner | The Ethical Psychic

➡️REPLAY-June Power Zoom Meeting | How to Become an Ethical Practitioner

➡️The Risks of Psychic Work | The Ethical Psychic

➡️REPLAY | May Power Zoom Meeting | The Traits of the Ethical Psychic

➡️The 6 Traits of an Ethical Psychic | Chapter One | Kim’s Take

Want to learn more on this topic or check out the Ko‑fi Repository? Consider joining Poised to Leap. 

By practicing sovereignty in Tarot readings, you not only empower your clients but also establish a sustainable and fulfilling practice that respects the autonomy and dignity of those you serve.

What’s Happening at Poised to Leap

Kim Abundant Life Tarot

New beginnings are in the air as we march into the month of March! We will be meeting as a group for our Power Zoom meeting on Sunday, March 10, 2024. We now meet every other month for our Power Zoom meeting and it is a great time to catch up with each other and to discuss some important aspects of managing life and work in a supportive setting.

Meeting topic: Simplify Your Biz & Life | Check-In | Professional Readings | Hotlines Q&A + Share Successes

March’s Theme: Sovereignty

In the realm of spiritual entrepreneurship, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of running a business. But what if there was a way to simplify your spiritual-based business and reclaim your energy and your time? Are you doing tasks because “everyone else” is doing them? 

What if you are feeling a heavy resistance to joining the latest social media platform – do you push through that feeling anyway? Or, do you honor where you are and resist the urge to follow the trends? There is no right or wrong answer because there are times when people are grateful they pushed through when they felt a lot of resistance. However, there is wisdom in resistance and it is always worth exploring why you feel it. 

If you are a reader, you can pull a card and ask why you are feeling resistance towards a particular task. If you are a Poised to Leap member, I would be happy to pull a card for you to explore why there is resistance or to see what direction feels more aligned with what you are called to do. We can also explore what it looks like in your spiritual business or personal life to simplify and the steps to take to get there. 

Why Simplify?

Simplifying your business and life can lead to several benefits, including:

▪️Reduced stress and anxiety

▪️Increased productivity

▪️More time for self-care and spiritual practices

▪️A greater sense of balance and fulfillment

How to Simplify

Here are a few tips for simplifying your spiritual-based or Tarot business:

1. Identify Your Core Offerings: What are the most important services you offer? Focus on these core offerings and let go of anything unessential.

2. Streamline Your Processes: Take a look at your current business processes and see where you can streamline them. This could involve automating tasks, hiring an assistant, or delegating tasks to others.

3. Set Boundaries: It’s important to set boundaries between your work and your personal life. This means setting specific work hours and not checking email or social media outside of those hours.

4. Take Breaks: Make sure to take regular breaks throughout the day. This will help you stay refreshed and focused. If you need a longer break, then take it. Honor the ebbs and flows of your life and recognize that breaks are essential to overall health and well-being in your personal or professional affairs. 

5. Practice Self-Care: Self-care is essential for any spiritual entrepreneur. Make sure to take time for yourself each day to relax and rejuvenate. Make a list of your favorite self-care activities and calendar them so that you prioritize them in your daily and weekly schedule. 

Simplifying your spiritual Tarot business can help you reclaim your energy and your time and exemplifies what it means to have sovereignty over your business and your life. By following these tips, you can create a sustainable and fulfilling business.

What’s Happening at Poised to Leap

Kim Abundant Life Tarot

February’s Monthly Reading Lab is now available for replay. Join the membership to be a part of next month’s Reading Lab and to catch up on all of the replays from the past ones we’ve done over the past two years.

KO-FI POST OF FEBRUARY READING LAB REPLAY

What to do when the cards don’t make sense? Lean into your intuition! We discuss all the ways that intuition will help you before, during, and after a reading. We practiced with three querent’s questions to just sit with the messages that came up. We learned there is a lot of information that can be gleaned with just a few cards and without having to pull clarifiers. We also discussed the lows that can come with reading on the hotlines.

jOIN POISED TO LEAP MENTORSHIP

Poised to Leap Blog

February’s Poised to Leap Theme is Feedback

Another form of feedback is what we receive from our loved ones who have crossed over. Our ancestors are always with us, even if we can’t see them. They are a part of our DNA, our history, and our culture. And they have a lot to tell us if we’re willing to listen.

 Much of our Working with our Ancestors series is about the feedback that we receive from our ancestors. You also have the ability to share feedback with your ancestors as well as be an intermediary between your living loved ones and those who have crossed over. It is a two-way street, even though much of what we are taught about working with ancestors is about what they can say and do for us versus through and with us.

There are many ways to listen for your ancestors’ messages. Some people hear them in their dreams, while others see them in visions or feel their presence around them.

I am clairaudient and my ancestors talk to me – full-on conversations. I suspect this was also the case for my maternal grandmother Ella Mae, as she would talk back to them aloud. I also use Bibliomancy and Cartomancy to communicate with them.

No matter how you receive their messages, it’s important to be open and receptive to them.

Here are a few tips for listening to your ancestors’ messages:

▪️ Quiet your mind. The first step to listening to your ancestors is to quiet your mind and create a space for them to speak. This can be done through meditation, prayer, or simply spending time in silence. Be consistent with a daily routine of quieting the mind, as it will make it easier for your ancestors to connect with you and for you to hear them. 

▪️ Be open and receptive. When you’re listening for your ancestors’ messages, it’s important to be open and receptive to whatever they have to say. Don’t judge or dismiss their messages, even if they’re not what you expect. Let’s face it – our ancestors were once living, breathing, fallible people with hangups. Give them grace, just as they will give to you. 

▪️ Trust your intuition. One of the huge benefits of working with your ancestors is the deepening of your intuitive powers that come with this work. Your intuition is a powerful tool that can help you connect with your ancestors and receive their messages. If you have a gut feeling about something, pay attention to it. It might be a message from your ancestors. 

▪️ Keep a journal. I cannot emphasize this tip enough – memorialize your intuitive hits, musings, and communications with your ancestors. Make note of how they reached out to you. This is also information you can pass down to your descendants. Writing down your ancestors’ messages can help you to remember them and reflect on them later. It can also be a way to track your progress and see how your connection with your ancestors is evolving.

Listening to your ancestors’ messages can be a rewarding and enriching experience. It can help you to connect with your past, learn from your ancestors’ experiences, and make better decisions for your future. So open your heart and mind, and let your ancestors speak to you.

Do you need inspiration on wanting to feel closer to your ancestors? Here are some additional tips for listening to your ancestors’ messages:

▪️ Spend time in places where your ancestors lived. This can help you to connect with their energy and hear their messages more clearly. If the distance is too great, the internet offers a golden opportunity to virtually drop into many locations with the use of Google Maps. 

▪️ Look at old photos and heirlooms. These objects can hold powerful memories and messages from your ancestors. Ask relatives to share photos with you. 

▪️ Talk to your relatives about your ancestors. They may have stories or memories that can help you to learn more about them. This is a powerful way to keep your living loved ones engaged in celebrating and learning about those who have crossed over. 

▪️ Read books and articles about your ancestors’ culture and history. This can help you to understand their perspectives and the challenges they faced during their lifetime. 

By following these tips, you can open yourself up to the possibility of receiving messages from your ancestors. Trust your intuition, and be open to whatever they have to say. You may be surprised at the wisdom and guidance they can offer you.

Discussion/Exercise 6 will be published at the end of this week and we will be exploring the connection between ancestral and past-life work. Next month’s Poised to Leap keyword/theme will be Sovereignty.

What to Do When the Cards Don’t Make Sense | Reading Lab

Kim Abundant Life Tarot

Here is a rambly video on what to do when you receive cards that don’t make sense. Two takeaways: stop, drop, and lean into your intuition; and when the cards do not make sense, it may be a signal from the Universe that you are not meant to know the answer.

We will be exploring how to sit with the cards that come up in a reading during this coming Saturday’s Reading Lab. Whatever the 1-3 cards that come up for a querent’s question will be what it is. There will be no clarifying cards allowed for this Reading Lab. We will learn to identify where our Intuition really speaks from when we are doing our readings.

Generate a Word of Every Month With the Help of Tarot or Oracle

Kim Abundant Life Tarot

I share a yearly tradition where I come up with a word of the month, which is the driving force for inspiration in my personal and professional life. I use Oracle decks to generate my monthly words and you can feel free to use any deck of your choosing. This is a fun and powerful way to be intentional month over month in business, in creativity, or your personal life.

Do you have an annual ritual you do to ready yourself for the year? Do you choose a word of the month or year and if so, how do you generate it?

Bittersweet Updates | Choosing Your Next Deck, Curating Your Collection Course

Kim Abundant Life Tarot

There comes a time when things need to shift and change in order to move forward with ease and for me, that time has come. I am embracing the Death card period and leaning into saying goodbye to Choosing Your Next Deck, Curating Your Collection, at least in its current form. No worries – you can now access much of the content on my YouTube channel playlist and for a small fee, you can receive the worksheets and PDF Tarot spreads in my Ko-fi Shop.

More courses, exclusive videos, and workshops will be added to to the shop – be sure to follow to hear all about what’s coming up!

There are additional videos that are available to those who pay for the spreads and worksheets that are not fully accessible on the YouTube channel playlist.

I will still host periodic live streams discussing the various topics that were covered in the course – so stay tuned! We will still keep the discussion of curating our collections and practicing mindfulness in procuring new decks.

There will still be ways to LEARN and GROW in TAROT with me, by joining me over on Ko-fi, where my Poised to Leap Coaching/Mentorship resides, as well as upcoming courses and workshops for you to participate (whether or not you are a Poised to Leap member).

WHY THE CHANGE? 

The time has come for me to close down the Abundant Life Tarot Academy on my website and move much of the learning/teaching environment over to Ko-fi. With this change, I will be closing the free Choosing Your Next Deck, Curating Your Collection course. This course was born out of my 2020 Depth year experience and I still plan to make sure the content remains available for those who wish to watch it.

Thanks to all those who took and completed the free course, participated in the lives and Zoom calls, and were so supportive of the message I was conveying to the tarot-collecting community.

Working with Our Ancestors Poised to Leap Membership Workshop Series

Kim Abundant Life Tarot

Have you been called to do ancestral work, but not sure how or where to get started? Perhaps you have worked with your ancestors, but have seemed to have reached a plateau in your ancestral work and need some inspiration? I have a Workshop series for you! Thanks to my Poised to Leap members suggesting this topic, we are now exploring this work as a group.

Poised to Leap has a lot to offer, including this ongoing series on working with our ancestors. There are at least three group meetings each month and the top tier members (Cosmic Seer and Rebel Soul) meets with me one-on-one on a monthly basis. We cover all sorts of topics, including going pro in offering readings, coaching/mentoring in accomplishing goals, and exploring different types of metaphysical topics. Most of all, I mentor in working with Oracle and Tarot.

Here is the tentative plan for our ongoing workshop series on Working with Our Ancestors.

I will be creating blog posts, videos, and hosting periodic check-in Zoom meetings for those who are exploring the wide world of working with our Ancestors. I may choose to use a good portion of some of our Open Office Hours to check in to see how you all are doing. The lowest tier, Stargazer, will have replays of our group meetings available. Stargazers are able to participate in the monthly Reading Labs, but if you’d like to join in on the other two Zoom meetings, sign up at the Moon Dancer levels.

Learn more and sign up to join Poised to Leap membership.

I rarely mention or “sale” my program because I trust in the Divine connecting me with likeminded souls called to work with me. Are you a likeminded soul ready to work together with me in a more intimate way? Join the Poised to Leap membership.

We are forming a supportive environment where we learn and grow together in Poised to Leap. I spend a lot of time crafting content that is supportive to each of my members unique goals and needs. I am very hands on and you will be able to ask me questions through direct message on Ko-fi once you’ve signed up.

Whether you are wanting to deepen your spiritual practice, go pro with your readings/coaching sessions, achieve short and long-term goals, or gain real-life advice  in joining the psychic hotlines, Poised to Leap has something for you! You can start and stop your membership at any time.

Get ready to have a partner who celebrates you and your successes. I am invested in your learning and your success, so don’t delay, I keep the group size low and spots are limited, particularly at the Cosmic Seer and Moon Dancer level.

Abundant Life Tarot – Poised to Leap Mentorship

Kim Abundant Life Tarot

I don’t boast a lot about what I am doing behind the scenes, but I think it is time to share something with you. I offer an incredible membership/mentorship program that is affordable and allows you to learn and grow in Tarot. One of my Moon Dancer members described me as a “Creativity Doula” – someone who fosters a nurturing environment for expansion in whatever personal or professional endeavor you’re embarking on.

I work one on one with members and in a group setting to help them stay the course, be accountable for achieving their goals, and providing support in whatever they need to move forward. Moon Dancer members only pay $9.99 per month and they meet with me once per month, one on one via Zoom, for 30 minutes. Rebel Soul members only pay $29.99 per month and meet with me once or twice per month, as they receive a 60 minute allotment of time to work with me one one one. As a group, we meet up twice per month via Zoom for 2nd Sunday Power Zoom meetings and last Saturday of the month for Reading Lab sessions.

The small and united community we have is special – friendships have formed and support for one another is bountiful. Some of us are endeavoring to become professional readers, while others are going on a journey of self-discovery – but in the end, there is truly something for everyone in Poised to Leap. I have uploaded almost 100 videos so far in supporting my membership and you will get instant access by joining on Ko-fi.
