The Weekly Spiritual Reading is here! 😃

This week's External Influence is the Revered Spirit Guide Bat. When this guide normally appears, it means a time of reflective, internal thought as a way to reflect on old habits and release those that no longer serve you in a positive way. That it is a week to work on conquering your fears. However, when we see Bat as a Reversed Spirit Guide, it often comes as an acknowledgement that you have done the hard work! You have spent so much time dwelling on the bad that you have done or the wrong that has been done to you, that you have been trapping yourself in the past. You may still have a transformation or a final challenge ahead of you, but know that you will achieve a positive, forward change. Don't give up now that you are almost there! The Reversed Bat Spirit Guide reminds us not to feel bound by transformation, but, rather, to accept it smoothly and know that it is just a part of following your goals. You know the path ahead of you. You've found the dream you wish to follow. So don't let doubt or fears stop you, but hold on to that forward path that has opened ahead of you.

This week's Rune is Othala. This symbol is depicted as the womb and legs of the standing goddess which represents the inheritance that follows hereditary lines as well as family, sacred land, and DNA. This rune is seen as the wealth of a land that can never be sold, but, instead, handing down through generations. This is often connected with lands where generations would be buried, the land thus becoming connected with a family or community in a deeper way. Othala represents wealth that cannot be sold or given away. We use Othala when seeking to connect with sacred land, when searching for wisdom concerning the whole of life, and when we wish to use lessons of the past to learn for our future. Othala comes to remind us that everything is One. When connecting with this Oneness, we can gain wisdom and a wider perspective of our universe. Everything is connect through webs of energy and thought. Practice lucid dreaming and the interpretations of those dreams for it will be useful this week. What you dream will manifest, so be aware and careful of what you want.

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.
