‘Power of Joy’ from Doreen Virtue’s Ascended Masters Oracle Card Deck

Do you set goals for the New Year?  Maybe you go for it and enthusiastically work out for 3 days and then life happens and you wonder where the time went and it’s Christmas again…Maybe just thinking about your new year’s resolutions make you feel overwhelmed?

Been there, done that. Many times…

Over the past few years there has been more talk of self-care.  Initially I wasn’t paying much attention, thinking it was things like eating healthily, getting regular exercise and of course some ‘me’ time.  But while the first two were on the list even if they didn’t always happen, the ‘me’ time bit was more of a luxury to have if everything else got done, which it never did.

I was a busy mum with two young boys and I felt strung out.  I was grateful for my life and all the blessings but I didn’t feel the joy of it.  I went to an energy healer  who gave me the following prescription: ‘Go for walks in nature on your own’.  I had huge resistance for some reason but when I started doing it I felt amazing.  Over time, I have added other things to my self-care tool kit like sound healing and angel cards and things started to shift.

Looking back, I knew  what I needed  to nourish myself, but I felt blocked and didn’t give myself permission for my ‘frivolous’ needs.  There were so many other things to be done.

Now I realise that to be able to give ourselves the self-care we would love to really thrive,  we need to be in the right frame of mind. We will do something if it’s easy and we enjoy it.  Why not start your self-care journey by following your joy?  Moving towards the small things in life that feed you, like a walk in nature, pursuing a hobby or just meeting a friend for a cuppa?

‘Power of Joy’ is the card for month for January 2022.  You can listen to the reading here

Angel cards are a lovely positive way of giving us gentle nudges and guidance.

Sound healing is a wonderful tool that can quiet the mind and bring relaxation to the body.  It allows you to connect with yourself and instills clarity and a feeling of peace.  We have regular sound healing workshops so you can learn easy ways of using sound healing for yourself as well as online sound baths where you can just relax and listen.
