The Weekly Spiritual Reading is here! :D

This week's External Influence is the Reversed Spirit Guide Swan. When this guide normally appears, it is seen as a sign to surrender to what is happening around you with the knowledge that the world's energy will come together and guide you towards a successful goal or solution. That a light of intuition will shine through to aid you in balancing throughout this week. When this guide occurs as a Reversed card, we see that this week will be a time when you must take a close look at yourself and see where your inner balance is. Are you slacking and need to pick yourself up? Or have you been overworking and need to find moments of peace to fill your soul with. This will include taking time to analyze how you express your emotions and communicate with others. Assess if you need to stand stronger or act with more grace and humility. The Reversed Swan reminds us that balance doesn't always simply fall upon us. It is in our hands to find the clarity of thought and balance of activities that will create a healthier life. However, know that you do have support there for you. The Reversed Swan is still a sign of bonding with others and reminds us that even when we focus on inward reflection, or when we feel alone, that there are loved ones there to support you. Do not lean, but know that whether someone is family, friend, or community, that there are those with tenderness in their heart for you. This week will enable you to find your center once more.

This week's Rune is Isa. This rune is depicted as being the vertical axis through which energy and antimatter travel up and down and reinforce the structure of all. This straight symbol is seen as an archetype, present throughout all other runes. It symbolizes ice, constraint, as well as a massive force or slow expansion. Although ice does not move swiftly, when it does, it moves with an incredible force and magnitude. This energy could work either as a constraint holding you down or as a structure of stability in a fast-paced world. Working with Isa can enable you to recognize and use forms of pattern, understanding polarities, and help you understand potential dangers and how to avoid them.


This week's Internal Influence is the Praying Mantis Spirit Guide. While this week's rush may push you to work hard, know that within you can find the peace you need to work through each days routine. Consider taking time this week to begin, or restart, meditation or prayer practices. Use these small moments to guide yourself and prepare yourself for the outside world. Even if you are required to rush and move, to complete things, find the stillness and silence within yourself that you may draw strength from. Connect with your intuition so that you know when to move or when to pull back. This time of inner reflection will aid you in learning how to redirect your energy towards the positive aspects of your life that are moving forward rather than stagnating or feeling pulled back by the negative. By learning how to quiet our outer mind, we learn how to delve into our inner mind for greater growth, strength, and serenity. If you find that meditations sitting still are not to your liking, try various techniques that feel more comfortable to you. Such as finding a mental stillness in the trances of running, using music to focus, or engaging in a physical mediation such as Tai Chi, Chi Gong, or Kung Fu. Practice quiet, focused thought in a way that aids you best. This could also include spending more time out in nature connecting with the breath of the earth around you.
