Instructions: Working with oracle cards is a personal and intuitive process. The more you use them, the deeper your connection with your own inner wisdom grows. The following ideas are just suggestions; play with them any way you wish.

Ask a question in your mind and heart, holding it clearly as you scan to see which deck to use. You can use all three cards displayed in each deck, one from each deck, three from the same deck, one card only, your choice.

One of the simplest questions to ask is, “What do I need to know right now?” Of course, you can ask whatever you want. Open-ended questions will bring more insight than yes/no questions. Three-card readings could be framed as past/present/future, or self/situation/obstacle, or anything else that makes sense to you.

Include

What we mean by this is to include your whole self in your regard. Include others’ whole selves as well, the parts you agree with and the parts you do not. The parts that annoy you and the parts that attract. The parts you find acceptable and the parts that repel. Include it all.

You are more than the sum of your parts, but without the entirety of your self, you will never be all of yourself. Making particular demands on yourself in order to include aspects in your regard is called conditional love, and believe us – It Does Not Work.

Nobody responds well to rejection, which is exactly what exclusion is. When you decide to only love your body at a certain weight or fitness level or functionality or behavior on command, that is excluding entire huge swaths of your own very human condition. It is unreasonable and unnecessary and it does not get positive results.

Have some curiosity about aspects of yourself you have rejected. What if it is included, in the package of you, to have warts? What if it is included to sometimes belch? Are you allowed to get older and wrinkled? Are you allowed to have folds in your skin at all? There is no stretching and growing and becoming without those folds, so you might want to include them in your inventory of things you cannot live without.

To include the whole kit and kaboodle, of yourself and of others, is to accept a cosmic invitation to a mysterious and intriguing joy ride. You can be prickly and sweet. You can be intelligent and also not bright. You might mean well and do poorly by someone.

Each human is a walking box of paradox, and the sooner you can accept all your bits and pieces, the sooner they will seem to fit together. And that makes you whole. And that makes you greater than the sum of all your parts. Even the ones you dislike. They have something to offer as well, you know.

Some people feel that anger is a distasteful thing. Now to be angry all the time for no reason and to take it out on others, that is an annoying habit that will not get you anywhere. But mostly this kind of thing happens when a person rejects their own anger, vowing that it has no home, it is bad, it is wrong.

When anyone is excluded like that, they are liable to bang on the door. Anger does have a place in the world, and in the human experience. There are plenty of times it is called for and it brings, ultimately, protection. So it requires inclusion for any human to be whole

Bring your whole self with you, wherever you go. ❀

Choice

Choice can be a challenge, or an opportunity, or an obstacle. Choice can open things up or go clunk. It depends on what the options are, and how soon you need an answer. If you are used to having choices, you may not be troubled at all. If Choice brings you to panic, you may need to breathe, and take a little more time. Your preferred choice may not be offered to you in the moment, in which case you can say hmmm, I see nothing I like, try again. Or hmmm, I will wait and see what else arises. Or even hmmm, I want something other than what is offered, and I will take myself elsewhere in search of it.

You are not required to accept as a choice that which does not suit you. Sometimes, on a dime, you have to make a choice that does not seem to take you where you want to go. You may need to suddenly turn right or left when you meant to go gaily forward. In which case you might travel around the block or take a different flight or make a U-turn when it’s safe or even just pull over to get your bearings. You are not required to stay with your choice any longer than it serves you.

Each choice leads to all other choices, so remember this when you feel trapped. Any choice will bring movement. Each choice brings opportunity. You will never be entirely certain of them all. Sometimes you just have to wait for things to clarify, like when you stop stirring up the silt in the pond and allow the transparent nature of water to reveal itself. Sometimes choice will make itself known only when you stop interfering with it.

Choice may sometimes appear to be kept from you, but very often you just need a shift. You may need to call in your allies (of the seen or unseen worlds), or go to court, or run away. You may need to take a leap of faith or go back to bed. You may need to throw it away and start fresh. Other choices, other times, will always arise. No choice lasts forever, not even the ones you regret. There is an overarching framework to your life, and you will always see Choice within that context, whether you recognize it or not. ❀

Rest

To rest is to draw into yourself all the resources and energy you have been expressing out into the world. It is to take a period of time out of time, and space out of place, and withdraw what is generally given out.

When the body or the mind or the spirit fatigues, some people try to push on. Which is an interesting thing if you think about it. Like trying to drive a car without power or fuel. Even getting out to push the beast to the final destination, instead of crawling into the back seat for a nap, or waiting for the day to break so you can see what you’re doing, or waiting for help to arrive.

It is not necessary at every moment of every day to be moving forward. It is not a requirement that all the action you take be under your own steam. Sometimes it’s the better part of valor to ask for help, and then accept it when it arrives.

If you don’t know where to seek help, that is a useful meditation to have with yourself. Maybe write a list of ten places and people from whom you could seek assistance. If you don’t know how to receive help, this is as good a time as any to begin to learn. It is a skill, after all. It is a skill everyone needs. Nothing gets done in pure solitude, not really. So, resting in your efforts is mandatory.

Confront your fear of being lazy. There is a false equivalency between resting and lazing. Also, there is nothing wrong with lazing. But resting is purposeful in the accomplishment of your life. (OK, lazing is, too. Everything has a place.) You will not get as far as you think without resting. It is the reconstitution of the dried-out tissues of your soul. It is the rejuvenation of the skin of your being and the organs deep within, which keep you going. Is your fear of laziness and judgment greater than your longing for health and well-being?

Nobody ever exhausted themselves into better health. May we say, while we’re at it, that of course effort is called for in living your life, doing your work, loving yourself and others? May we say that at times great effort is required, to meet a deadline or launch a task, or even just to get through a day? Effort is not an objective measure; therefore, neither is rest. Both are required for function. Ask yourself, perhaps, why would you skimp on or sacrifice half of this equation? ❀

Perfectionism: you’re doing it wrong

Perfection is not an ideal, dear ones, but a deadly, insidious disease. It kills dreams, it kills hope, it kills spontaneity. It damages relationships with self and with other, and encourages the growth of fear, grasping, and controlling behaviors.

In no way is the Perfect your friend.

In fact, although you find the idea a bit comforting – that there is someplace to end up that is unassailable, of course it’s a lovely idea – in fact it will only and always and every time let you down.

It doesn’t hold. It doesn’t remain.

Perfection happens in a fleeting moment, and dissolves again in the rapid blink of an eye.

There is no ground of perfection on which you can take a stand.

It is not right or good or infallible. It is only a breath, passing through.

Like this one.
And this next one.
And once again. ✩

Kindness to others without kindness to oneself is incomplete

Kindness to others is only part of the equation. If you cannot find it in your heart to make friends with yourself, then where does that really put you in life? Very lonely and sad, and false, in a way.

You can be the kindest person alive, in the outer sense, but if you have insufficient kindness towards your own follies and foibles and faults, you will never convince anyone of your sincerity. You will never be as trusted as you long to be, for who can be seen as trustworthy when they mistreat their own dear self?

Then those around you live in fear or concern about the day it all falls down and maybe takes them with it.

A house divided against itself cannot stand, and so reserving kindness for those around you and limiting or restricting the kindness you give yourself will make a weak vessel, which ultimately must fail.

Remember, you are as deserving of your own kindness and generosity of spirit as anyone else, even more so. How will you do your good work in the world, if your structure cannot hold, and if you are forsaken by the one who should stand by you each and every moment of your life? ✩

All life is an expression of love

Everyone came into existence on the physical plane as an imperfect expression of unconditional love. Imperfect, because if you show up on Earth, you are living in conditional reality, and therefore cannot easily express your true essence.

This is the basic difficulty of being human, along with the powerful illusion of separateness from each other, and the loss of feeling a part of All That Is. But this is why you are here. You are trying to learn things that cannot be learned in any other way. You are trying to experience and express those aspects of being which can only happen here.

It is not easy, but it is important. Necessary. Because all of this is in fact interconnected, and if you bring conscious effort to believing that, behaving as if it is so, and experiencing your life this way, then you have moved everything forward a step, towards harmony, peace, and truth.

You do not have to do this. But this is what you are called to do. You choose whether or not to answer. Some days you might sleep in. There is no punishment, or shirking of duty. There is simply showing up, waking up, sending out and receiving that which is the true life force, that which we call love. ✩

Freedom

Freedom. It does not always mean you can do what you like. It can come from unlikely experiences. You can climb a hill and realize you are free to leap. But gravity will have the last word.

Sometimes freedom comes from recognizing and releasing the past. If you always face forward, or attempt to cover up what has come before as if it did not exist, you will find the rumblings of history disrupting your current events. Freedom in this case is the result of excavation and renovation, rather than denial and full steam ahead.

Freedom is mental, in general. There is bodily freedom of a kind, but the freedom of the spirit is not realized while kept in physical form. The mind, however, is free to roam at will. If you recognize this, and take care to cultivate an open and liberated mind, you will have as much happiness as your mind can hold, regardless of your physical reality.

Those with basic needs taken care of may scoff at this notion, but we tell you the truth. A hangnail bothers an unfree mind much more deeply and destructively than the lack of housing or food bothers a mind that is liberated.

Try freeing your mind, and when you get there, see if you agree. ☼

Community

Community is not always what you think it is, or what you might want it to be. Some want community to be the family they never had. Others fear it will be the family they did have, and so they shy away. In fact it is simply a gathering, in time and space, of beings who have something in common. The task of community is to discover what that might be, which might be different than anyone thought.

Community is powerful, which is why many long for it and others fear it. In community, things are built that are not possible without cooperation. But while individuals may be protected by the group, they may also threaten the group and therefore be kicked out. Some prefer to not join community, in order to preserve a belief in their own independence. If I don’t need you, you can’t hurt me, they think.

Community is for healing all the wounds of the past, and so the wounds must arise. Coming together is a fierce and valiant act. Even if it disappoints and disgruntles, community also proves that the wholeness is greater than the sum of its myriad parts. All beings belong, all are in the Oneness.

There may have to be a few meetings to sort it all out. ☼

Communication

There are many ways in which beings communicate. Some use words or sounds, some visual or gestured cues. Some simply walk away or towards you. Some will be silent and still. Everyone – all beings – communicate with energy, and even if you want to deny it, you receive the energy as well.

When you trust your own perceptions and are well grounded and finely attuned, you will read beings and situations accurately, and will be able to respond with good cheer. When you don’t have experience or confidence or discernment, even the most explicit information given in your native tongue will seem foreign or impossible to interpret.

Try to be open and listen with all your faculties. Some information is given on the breeze. Be like a snake, taste the air with your tongue. Allow all you perceive to enter your consciousness, and then rest for a while, to let it settle and make itself known. In this way you are less likely to jump to conclusions, cause offense, or take umbrage.

Even if the process takes only seconds, the beats between communication and reception and response are hallowed ground. Sacred interactions happen there, in each moment. And, in that place, you meet your own sacred selves as well. ☼

Origin

Origin is both inside and outside of you. You can stand inside yourself peering out at the light and wonder what is happening. You can be the light, pouring in through the cracks, trying desperately to illuminate all that is locked away within. Anything is possible.

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, there was the Oneness. And it decided to become itself more and more, and in doing so it splintered into Soul Groups. Each Soul Group houses many souls. Every soul is connected to their Soul Group and the Oneness. Simple as that.

All the work of becoming now lies on the shoulders of the souls. They go to Earth and other places and times and have lifetimes and experience things and respond to the experiences and have thoughts and feelings and purpose and awareness and consciousness and choices and fate. They make stuff up and believe it. Sometimes they disbelieve that which is factually true. Anything is possible, you see.

The unconditional love of the Oneness endures, expressed through each being on each planet throughout time and space. There is much that can only be experienced through being a soul in a body: loneliness, fear, chocolate ice cream…

Please rest, if you can, in the knowing that you are never alone, that your existence as a human is worthwhile, and that Love, your Source, the Oneness, can never be lost. ☾

Progress

Progress means movement, usually forward. Sometimes you need to go back to go forward again, because of an error, or unforeseen circumstance. This, too, is progress.

Progress is also inevitable. It can mean the glacier creeping along towards the ocean at a pace of an inch every few years. It can mean the fast retreat of the glacier, in response to its current experience. Progress does not always mean things get better. It does not always mean things go according to plan. And it rarely means things go the way you think they should. Have you noticed?

And yet time marches on. Things do progress, in the sense that things change and do not revert to an original state (whatever that would be) or at least not a state without evidence of what has occurred. Movement and memory, time and space, everything elastic and yet never quite returning to its particular shape. This is the nature of progress.

It happens whether you want it to or not, so you might ask yourself, “How do I get along with this movement, or stuckness, this evolution, or this resting place? How can I Be in this world of time and space, when in fact I am a multidimensional being of light and love?”

Good questions. Keep asking. ☾

Clarity

Clarity depends on the amount of light you allow to shine through.
It is not a given. It is not simply a choice. Clarity comes from devotion to truth, unwavering commitment to what is real and transparent in thought and word and deed. When one seeks to manipulate, one will rarely have clarity. When one seeks the naked truth of What Is, clarity will arise to bestow its blessings.

If you are clinging to some notion of yourself as unworthy, not good enough, insufficient, you may find the quality of your thoughts to be stringy, cloudy, taut.

Not everyone is cut out for clarity.

It can have sharp edges; it can sting. If clarity is what you are built for, however, the truth will bring relief.

Clarity brings with it a sense of relaxation, a sense of alignment, of seeing clearly and being seen. It is one of the qualities of the Source from which you came, the unconditional love of your birthright. Clarity will always feel like coming home.

In times of befuddlement, confusion, agitation, remember your essential nature is clear and bright. Allow the light of clarity to shine through you, to settle you and keep you awake. ☾

Grief

Grief is sorrow mixed with loss and possibly regret. Grief signals an ending, of life, of hope, of what might have been, of what was going to be. It is a reckoning that most would rather do without.

Grief is not simple. It is very often fraught. It is the finality of the loss of innocence, the impossibility of unringing the bell. It cannot be undone.

When you enter a state of grief there is a shock that occurs, and then the sensation of falling. For some events or experiences it happens quickly; for others feels like a thousand years. There is no time frame for grief, nor a place for it, really. It takes up residence, and continues to dwell within.

It has many layers and a timeline all its own. The agenda of grief is hidden, only seen clearly, if at all, in retrospect. It knows things you will not know for a long, long time, but it keeps those things near, so you feel them.

Grief arises, unbidden, at unfortunate times, and invites you to participate in the shadows of your life. So much is hidden there, so much depth you might have never touched if not for grief. These are your riches; use them well.

Nobody knows how to grieve properly, not in the sense that it ever gets done. That is impossible. Grief is a lingering flavor, savory, bitter, and sweet, adding dimension and contrast to everyday life.

In a sense, grief is the underlying experience of all of humankind. Fundamentally, your separation from the Oneness is the basis of this whole experiment called Life. When you came to Earth, you both lost and gained a home. Confidence that you shall someday return to that state surely wavers, here in the land of conditions and apparent separation. You remind each other that you are all one, that humanity is one, and that nobody is really separate from the whole. But to say it and believe it and deeply, immovably feel it – those are all different things. ❀

FlowerDeck

Knowledge

Knowledge is not what you think it is. Or, at least, it is more than you know. True knowledge has the flavor of wisdom, of instinct, of innocence about it, and it lives in order to be known.

When you have knowledge and keep it a secret, it withers and dies a slow death. Someday your secrets will die with you. What, before then, should you say? Knowledge gains power when shared. Ignorance breeds contempt. With the understanding of the world you have gained – over time and the distance of living – comes the obligation to offer it up.

There are people beside you, behind you, around you, who crave what you know like bread. Feed them so they can feed others who hunger; eventually all will be fed.

Compassion is vital to anything in life, but its knowledge requires practice. Do that. Then teach that. Then share the fruits of the knowledge of mind.

Your knowledge is a gift; offer it, with discernment. Just as you would not give a baby bird to a vicious dog, be careful who you hand your wisdom to. Some knowledge is private and shared only through action, suggestion, or breath. Some knowledge is general, and may be cast over the fields like seed. Some is nascent; you may pass it along and the receiver may not know what to do with it. It’s OK. They will hand it off elsewhere, or tuck it away and one day pull it out to find it finally fits.

Just as you would share your knowledge, remember it is wise to know how to receive. You cannot offer what you have yet to integrate, so take your time, allow it to ferment, and churn, and digest.

Knowledge rises with age, until something appears at the top, available in the precise moment it’s called for. Then skim and gather and form, place it in the waiting palm, and make the world whole, once again. ❀

Transition is suspension between the known and the yet to be revealed

Just as you plant a seed and then trust it to emerge and become its inherent self, you must trust that the unseen, invisible forces at work shaping your world are doing their job.

Manage your impatience as best you can, go about your daily chores, and care for yourself as well as possible, for you must be ready when the time comes, even if you don’t know when or what that means.

The not knowing is part of the joy, and also the frustration. We understand.

You are not alone.

Look around you: everywhere there are people and plants and creatures of all types undergoing changes, metamorphoses, alterations.

The caterpillar knows not what it means to be a butterfly. But it spins the cocoon, and dissolves inside it in good faith, nonetheless. ✩

Your purpose here is to become yourself

It is a common question among humans – why am I here? What is my purpose in life? It’s very simple, really. You came here to be this person that you are, and one way or another you will get the job done.

The question is beautiful. Please, never stop seeking meaning for your life.

The basics, you know: kindness, generosity, honesty, humor, love. The details are tricky, the execution sloppy at times, but you keep going, becoming, and growing, into your being, your life, your skin.

We love you very much, and all your foibles, too. Don’t worry so much. Things are coming along just fine. When you can make improvements, we have every confidence that you shall. In the meantime, try to enjoy the view.

Please understand a salient point: you have destiny, and you also have free will. Destiny means you have a plan, and it is engaged, and you have options, to follow or to alter the course. Mostly you will follow the plan, though there may be some detours along the way. So, you can relax. And free will means you might not get everything done. You might decide to go another way sometimes. This is perfectly allowed. ✩

Devotion

Some people think devotion is a state of enslavement, but in our view devotion is a state of liberation.

When you are devoted, it is an unshakable knowing of the truth of your path. Devotion is unwavering, uncomplicated, and free. Devotion is saturation in unconditional wellbeing, resting in the total experience of love.

Devotion is not a mental construct. It does not suck you dry; it fills you up, from the inside out, with energy and the will to carry on. It is not that you feel no pain in devotion – everyone’s stuff is still stuff, after all – but you may not perceive it as suffering. Devotion is confident in all the right places, and as such, no suffering needs to be borne.

The relief of devotion is palpable. No more energy wasted on questioning, worrying, weighing possibilities. The future, while not assured, is of little concern.

Devotion has a way of sharpening concentration, and allowing everything else to fall gently to the wayside. When devotion arises, it knows little else, but with devotion, what is known is everything.

How do you know if you are devoted to the right thing, person, precept, notion, practice, or ideals? You don’t. That is what devotion is for. To set aside the questions. To know. ☼

Connection

Connection means all beings meet at the Source. It is not something generated or imagined or perceived; it is factual and cannot be otherwise.

You cannot exist without all who have come before, and all who are currently here, and even those who come later. By “all,” we mean not just people, but dogs and pigs and bugs, rocks and leaves, and everything else. Everything arises from the same cosmic pool of energy, and, after this lifetime, all disperses back to the pool again.

So indeed, you are interrelated, all beings must be. How else could all of this arise? Bring respect and love to your actions, your thoughts, your desires, for together you are building reality.

You must bring what you want to experience. You want love? Bring love. Satisfaction? Cultivate it so you have enough to share.

Longing to feel positive about your place in the world? Shine that light on others, and your experience of it is assured.

Source is unconditional love, and everything – even that which seems distorted – is the product of trying to manifest in a conditional world. It’s not easy to exist here, so be kind to yourself, and all beings, and keep doing the best you can. It all comes back around. And home. You will always come home. ☼

Awareness

Awareness is a fleeting thing. The tricky part of being human is the tenuous connection with conscious experience. It is easy to disappear, and – naturally – so tempting.

Each small effort that you bring to the awareness of your present moment experience, to life as you live it, to thoughts and feelings and assumptions, all the nonjudgmental discernment that you can bring at any time, helps bring your soul into alignment and manifestation in your human life. So what, you might ask.

If you bring your Self more fully into this experience of being human, you will find more ease in your life. More importantly, you become an even clearer conduit for all the information passing back and forth between this human experience and the Oneness, or All That Is (aka Source, unconditional love energy).

When the transmission goes smoothly, you experience joy and peace of mind, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction. You know, deeply, that you are doing exactly what you came here for, even if you can’t say what that is.

It’s not easy to be human, but with increased awareness it is like the joy of strengthening your physical muscles. You become capable of so much more, with less effort than you thought possible. And, you don’t even have to sweat! ☾

Grace

Grace is as inherent in your day as sunrise in the morning. You may not see it. There may be heavy clouds, dense drapery, or no windows where you are. But the sun rises, every day, and grace is not far behind.

When you require grace, seek it out. Grant it to yourself, even if you cannot feel it. Grant it to others, even if you don’t know if they deserve it. Grant it everywhere you go, trusting in the power of the light to bestow itself on everyone without question, judgment, or hesitation.

Grace is that moment when the glass did not break, although it fell. The moment you paused before stepping off the curb, so were not struck by the distracted motorist.

Grace is when the child across the room sees you and lights up, for no apparent reason. Grace is when you smile, reflexively, and the other one smiles back.

Moments of grace in the day or night are infinite. If melancholy has taken hold, then the counting of instances of grace will be your salvation.

As you count, grace is drawn to you. Like shining a light on all the magic of the world, you illuminate it for yourself and others. ☾

Three-card readings might be framed as past/present/future, or self/situation/obstacle, or anything else that makes sense to you.

With the card backs showing, click on the [double arrow] to shuffle, then click on the card(s) you feel drawn to for your guidance. You might click all at once, or one at a time. Click the face of the card to read the channeled message that goes with that card, scrolling down to see the full text. Or, simply gaze at the card and sense what the meaning is for you, without the guides’ words.

Click the card again to see the image; click the back arrow to flip the card(s) back.
Click the double arrow to shuffle the cards. 

Have fun, and trust yourself.

Knowledge

Knowledge is not what you think it is. Or, at least, it is more than you know. True knowledge has the flavor of wisdom, of instinct, of innocence about it, and it lives in order to be known.

When you have knowledge and keep it a secret, it withers and dies a slow death. Someday your secrets will die with you. What, before then, should you say? Knowledge gains power when shared. Ignorance breeds contempt. With the understanding of the world you have gained – over time and the distance of living – comes the obligation to offer it up.

There are people beside you, behind you, around you, who crave what you know like bread. Feed them so they can feed others who hunger; eventually all will be fed.

Compassion is vital to anything in life, but its knowledge requires practice. Do that. Then teach that. Then share the fruits of the knowledge of mind.

Your knowledge is a gift; offer it, with discernment. Just as you would not give a baby bird to a vicious dog, be careful who you hand your wisdom to. Some knowledge is private and shared only through action, suggestion, or breath. Some knowledge is general, and may be cast over the fields like seed. Some is nascent; you may pass it along and the receiver may not know what to do with it. It’s OK. They will hand it off elsewhere, or tuck it away and one day pull it out to find it finally fits.

Just as you would share your knowledge, remember it is wise to know how to receive. You cannot offer what you have yet to integrate, so take your time, allow it to ferment, and churn, and digest.

Knowledge rises with age, until something appears at the top, available in the precise moment it’s called for. Then skim and gather and form, place it in the waiting palm, and make the world whole, once again. ❀

Kindness to others without kindness to oneself is incomplete

Kindness to others is only part of the equation. If you cannot find it in your heart to make friends with yourself, then where does that really put you in life? Very lonely and sad, and false, in a way.

You can be the kindest person alive, in the outer sense, but if you have insufficient kindness towards your own follies and foibles and faults, you will never convince anyone of your sincerity. You will never be as trusted as you long to be, for who can be seen as trustworthy when they mistreat their own dear self?

Then those around you live in fear or concern about the day it all falls down and maybe takes them with it.

A house divided against itself cannot stand, and so reserving kindness for those around you and limiting or restricting the kindness you give yourself will make a weak vessel, which ultimately must fail.

Remember, you are as deserving of your own kindness and generosity of spirit as anyone else, even more so. How will you do your good work in the world, if your structure cannot hold, and if you are forsaken by the one who should stand by you each and every moment of your life? ✩

Effort

Effort is not what you think. Sometimes it is giving the old heave ho, but more often it is gentle, sustained intention. Effort means not giving up.

Effort means putting one foot in front of the other, when no apparent reward exists, when nothing is guaranteed. You keep going because you said you would, because going forward is the only way out, because effort brings fruition, whether or not you live to see it.

Effort is not drudgery. It is a good day’s work, an honest living, the purpose-driven activity of the intentional mind. It is not always breaking a sweat. It does not always include a sore body the following day. And it hardly ever means injury.

There is such a thing as effortless effort, which means the precise measurement has been taken and no more and no less is applied. This ability comes through much practice, and of course through many experiences of too much and too little and the timing being off.

When you are in the flow of things, effort is not off-putting. When you are committed to survival, effort is not a thought. Effort is just what is done.

Depending on circumstance and your state of mind, it could be uplifting and exhilarating, or it could be a drag, or both. ☼

Presence

You may find that to be less present in this moment is a very good choice. You may find that to bring yourself more fully into presence here and now is worth the effort. Only you can choose.

If your presence is affected by your unresolved past, you may not be able to choose.

You may find yourself not being here as much as you’d like, or you may find that you prefer not being here now, or maybe you can’t help it. You may find that you disappear from your own experience at the drop of a hat, that you must leave to avoid further pain. However, at some point what began as self-preservation becomes abandonment of the self.

You have become choiceless, and you might not realize it.

What is the point of presence? Here you are. If being here is a good thing, you could show up and enjoy it.

If being here is a neutral thing, you might as well be here, because where else would you be (and what if something interesting happens)?

If being here is not a good thing, you need to be within yourself fully so that you can take your whole self with you when you go (yes, you are allowed to go). ☾

Testimonials

I love my BlueStar Oracle Deck! It has become an integral tool for dealing with stress and overwhelm. What a blessing! I use the deck to end my day on a positive note. Focusing on one issue that is causing my anxiety, I gently shuffle the cards until I feel ready, then pick the top card. The image is always soothing, so I let my eyes rest on it for a bit. I leaf through the booklet for the corresponding reading…it is always, always what I most needed to hear. I usually read it a few times, savoring the wisdom and comfort it brings. These cards – these messages from Ker’s guides – help me prepare for a night’s sleep in today’s turbulent times.
Alison J.Tucson
This is an amazing tool for assistance in the moment, support through the day and transformation of habitual negative thoughts. I began a daily ritual of picking a card that has turned into a highlight of my day. I pick a card and absorb the image and phrase, then read the guides’ message, letting it sink in. Their words go straight to the heart of the human struggle, and are always pertinent and expansive. Then I put my card on top of the deck, so I can see it through the closed case and touch in to that knowing throughout the day.

I am learning how to be a more relaxed, open, in-tune, aware, and accepting person through my daily mini-meditations. This little card deck has changed my life! Thank you Ker Cleary and BlueStar!

I’ve been using Ker’s deck consistently for a month and I love the clear photographs, channeled information in the booklet, and the positive messages that direct me back to my own knowledge and wisdom, self-care, and guidance. I’ve used The BlueStar Oracle Deck for myself in meditation, journal writing, and even with my hypnotherapy clients. I’ve offered intuitive readings using The BlueStar Oracle Deck and I’m impressed with how easy it is to use, and feels like a personal channeling session with Ker and her guides each time. If you haven’t bought this deck, I highly recommend you purchase it at your earliest convenience. I’ll be coming back for Ker’s two new Sacred Stones Oracle Card decks for her and her guides’ signature positive wisdom, encouragement, fun and joy.

I am learning how to be a more relaxed, open, in-tune, aware, and accepting person through my daily mini-meditations. This little card deck has changed my life! Thank you Ker Cleary and BlueStar!
