If you are feeling a sensory overload or just generally overwhelmed in your own life, it’s time to return to the inner stillness within.

Inside your heart, there lies your unique sanctuary. A place where there are both strength and softness, fierceness and kindness. A place where your inner masculine and feminine sing in harmony. Inside this place of stillness is where you can listen to your soul’s guidance – how is your soul calling you to be right now?

Sometimes, with everything going on around us, it is easy to feel guilty. Guilty of just being alive when there are people losing their home, their health and even lives in other parts of the world. How can we dance in joy when there is suffering all around us?

Remember this. Instead of guilt, focus on gratitude and the present moment. Instead of worry, devote yourself to trust and faith. Instead of feeling crippled on what you cannot do, focus on what you CAN do.

Listen to your inner truth through your intuition, your gut feeling, your heart’s calling, your soul’s guidance.

What matters to you right this moment? Only when you are centered and grounded, and see through the illusion of duality, then can you dance in the world with grace and wisdom.

By nourishing yourself, doing what you love, and allowing yourself to live the best version of you, you shine your light. And your light is what we need more in this world.

Your light is what heals.

I want to close this lunar cycle’s card reading with the wise words shared by Sarah Wilder, a soulpreneur, jewelry designer and creative business woman whom I follow. In her newsletter, she shared the following reminder which I resonated very strongly.

Repeat this affirmation as often as you need during this lunar cycle. A great tip is to write your affirmation on a piece of paper and place it somewhere you can see every day as a reminder.

You can refer to my blog here on a simple guideline on how to write your own affirmation here.

Feel free to change the words to make it 100% aligned to you.

For example,

I trust in my soul’s guidance.

I am strong and centered.

I believe in the Universe’s wisdom.

I stand by my inner truth / intuition.

I dance in joy.

I recognize that my interpretation of the cards is largely based on reflections of my personal life experience and you may or may not resonate with what I share. I find that sometimes by sharing what’s going on in my life, others may find that they are going through something similar in their lives. It’s important to know that you are not going through this journey of life alone.

I highly encourage you to look at the cards as well and feel into the messages and energies of the cards yourself.

Read the messages and notice what sensations come up. Do you feel light or tense? Look at the images of the cards, and notice what draws your gaze. What thoughts and feelings arise? Do you like or dislike the card, or certain elements in the image of the card? Why is that and what does it remind you of?

Your intuition is your inner compass. My intuitive soul card reading only serves as a reference point, an invitation for you to reflect and ponder and to work your magic. I don’t claim to predict the future, nor can I do that. Take what you resonate and leave what you don’t.

Card reading is a great intuitive tool for us to find some clarity and guidance in our own life, but remember ultimately you are the one who get to decide and live the life you want.

Words are powerful, whether spoken or unspoken.

We can use words to inspire or to hurt others deeply. And ultimately, our words we say to ourselves can heal or sabotage our lives. What kind of stories do you tell yourself? Do you allow yourself to dream big, and do you feel confident to share your dream with others?

Recently I have read a powerful book called “The One Thing” by Gary Keller with Jay Papasan. I absolutely love the message that this book conveys –

I find myself scared to dream big. There are so many stories in my head that I tell myself – I can’t do it, I am not cut out for it, it’s easier to stay where I am now. I know that it’s my fear of failure and my fear of disappointment that are stopping me. But a part of me deep inside yearns to move beyond these fears.

So I dared myself to dream big. I wrote my big dream down on a piece of paper and laid it on my altar. Every morning as I do my meditation practice, I would read it out loud.

Then a funny thing happened. In a random conversation with my husband one night, he asked me what my big dream was. I knew the answer inside but I stuttered and cringed as I shared my answer with him. I lost all my confidence as I spoke.

“You sound like you want to be Jesus,” my husband laughed after hearing what I said.

“What??? Omg no….that’s not what I meant,” I desperately sighed.

His response got me thinking. I have to dig deeper again into what truly ignites a spark within me, to reflect on what the ONE message is that I really want to share with the world, and how I can share my dream with confidence.

In this lunar new year of the Water Tiger (check out Forever Conscious’ intuitive astrology blog here on the energies of the year of Water Tiger), I invite you to ask yourself within – what is your ONE BIG DREAM and what is the ONE THING you can do now for your BIG DREAM such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?

Write down your big dream on a piece of paper. Say it out loud. Draw it. Sing it. Express it any way you like.

Use your voice wisely and consciously this lunar cycle.

The above affirmation is a quote taken from the Soulful Woman Guidance Cards Guidebook by Shushann Movsessian and Gemma Summers.

The woman in the card has her eyes closed, symbolizing that it is time to turn our gaze within and to focus on ourselves. If you haven’t had time to take a pause to reflect on what you would like to co-create and manifest this year, this last lunar cycle is a great opportunity to do so before we step into the new Year of the Tiger next month.

What brings you joy? What lights up your world? What is it that you are looking forward to? What is your true passion?

Often, we are the ones who place restrictions, rules, responsibilities, duties, and burdens on ourselves so then we can play out a certain role in our lives. We are so obsessed with taking care of others or wanting others to follow our way that we forget to turn the focus back on ourselves.

Give yourself the permission to put down any things, people, situations, or work now that are not your priority and aligned 100% to your soul’s calling. It may mean stop reading the news and following others on social media for a digital detox retreat. It may mean stop worrying about others for a while, and start caring for yourself more. It may mean stop doing so much to fill up your time and just take it slow and savor each moment to be.

Give yourself the permission to focus solely on yourself this month, even though for some people it may mean only having 10 minutes for yourself every day. It is not the quantity but the quality of time you spend on nourishing yourself counts.

Your presence is the best gift you can give to yourself.

Repeat this affirmation as often as you need during this lunar cycle. A great tip is to write your affirmation on a piece of paper and place it somewhere you can see every day as a reminder.

On the outside, this may look like surrounding yourself with your loved ones, creating a support system that best serves you, and doing what nourishes you and brings you joy. On the inside, it is about holding a non-judgmental space for yourself, trusting your soul’s guidance, honoring the Divine essence within you, and being aware of your intentions and actions.

Are your intentions and actions coming from a place of love or fear?

Since the global pandemic hit, it is very easy to live in fear, worry, and anxiety on a daily basis, especially when we constantly expose ourselves to the negative news and the collective fear. We may believe that this is not our choice and we have no control, and life is just happening to us instead of for us.

This card is a reminder for us to get out of this victim mentality we subject ourselves to, and return our focus back to co-creating a love-based reality. We all have the freedom on how we choose to respond to any situation. Perhaps things may not pan out the way we want, but we continue to hold faith that things always happen for our highest good.

The love we hold for ourselves within allows us to shift to living from only our head space to our heart and soul space, where we can finally be free to live as our true authentic selves.  

When we are able to love ourselves unconditionally, this love will expand and radiate to other people around us. We must first take care of ourselves first before we can help others.

Sometimes in order to create a love-based reality, we may need to recognize what our boundaries are, and let go of burdens and emotions that do not belong to us. That’s why the woman’s face in the card seems stern yet loving. She does not and will not allow others to affect her conscious choice of loving herself.

It is important then to enforce our boundaries, even if it means saying goodbye to people or situations that had been serving and supporting us in the past years. This is only because it is time for us to move forward and for our hearts to continually expand and for our souls to evolve.

I absolutely love the quote from the Soulful Woman guidebook starting with “I choose to devote myself…” Remember it is always our choice to live from love or fear, our choice to witness beauty or to focus on the negative, to trust our intuition or to blindly follow others.

It’s time to grow in love, beauty, joy and create your own heaven on Earth.

Many spiritual teachers and life coaches suggest to identify your word of the year to set an intention and the tone for yourself for the upcoming year.

I love this idea and have been practicing this for a few years already.

As I start to contemplate what I’d like to co-create and manifest for 2022 and what to put in my vision mandala, I can see an image of myself, joyful, radiant, confident, beautiful and fully embodying and embracing my Goddess self. I know I want to focus 2022 on me, though it will be challenging with baby no. 2 arriving anytime now.

The word “Freedom” comes to mind. Freedom is not a word I use often, and it’s not really something I think about. But for 2022, I choose the word “Freedom” to be my word of the year. The freedom to be me. The true me. The freedom to do what my soul calls me to do. The freedom to live as my authentic self.

There are many ways to come up with the word of the year. Some people go through a list of words and select from there. Some people go into meditation and see what comes through. In my case, I plant the question in my subconscious (basically I ask myself without thinking too much), and the answer comes forth on its own at the most random time.

I do believe that our word of the year can serve as an anchor that helps us to lay the foundation and set a direction for our path ahead. Whenever we are in doubt, we can always come back to our word of the year and remember our original intention. Our word of the year becomes our cheerleader and partner to hold our hands, gently guiding us through the waves of life.

What is your word of the year going to be?

Even though I’m on maternity leave now, if you like you can still contact me (see below) and share what your word of the year is. I’d love to hear from you.

These are some other teachers’ messages for 2022 which have been helpful for me to read. I hope you will enjoy reading them too.

This past year has continually been challenging for a lot of people and businesses with the global pandemic still going on. One may ask, how is it possible to see the bright side when there are so many struggles and challenges every day?

One morning when I woke up, I realize my mind was constantly filled with different thoughts. It seemed like my mind could not quiet down. There are so many things I want to do and finish before I go on my maternity break (that’s my “final destination” in my mind). Then as I did my japa meditation, I was reminded to focus on the pause between each syllable of the mantra.

My inner voice said.

I realize I want to rush through every task so I can tick off everything on my never-ending to-do list. I am now reminded to focus and live in the present moment.

The woman in the card appears to be calm and centered. She holds a dove in her hand just in front of her heart center, symbolizing inner peace and a sense of groundedness radiating from her being. She is covered by an invisible golden veil and there are two transparent golden birds hovering over her. To me, it is a reminder that the Universe is always there to support and protect us.

When we have constant worries and lots of thoughts in our mind, surrender them to the Universe. Ask the Universe for support and trust that you will receive the help and guidance that you need. You can also thank the Universe in advance for the help and support you receive, saying an affirmation like “ I am grateful for the support of the Universe today”.

Last but not least, carve out some quiet time and space in this busy month to reflect on the past year before leaping ahead to 2022. What are you grateful for in 2021? How have you grown and evolved? How are you more wise?

If these questions seem may too much to think about, start with today. What is one thing you are grateful for today? What beauty can you see in your life today? What is one thing that you can appreciate yourself / your body for today?

Start to cultivate your gratitude practice (never too late to start), and you will see that indeed there is a lot of divine beauty in our world today.

Repeat this affirmation as often as you need during this lunar cycle. A great tip is to write your affirmation on a piece of paper and place it somewhere you can see every day as a reminder.

You can refer to my blog here on a simple guideline on how to write your own affirmation here.

Perhaps there are still some open loops that need to be closed, things that you have been procrastinating to do and this is the time to complete any pending projects and tasks.

The theme “Harmony” points to achieving harmony between our head, heart, Soul and Spirit (Divine). The eyes of the woman are looking towards the energy hovering above her hands. We can interpret this energy as an insight or distraction brought from the outer world, two sides of the same coin. A distraction doesn’t have to be considered as negative. Often there is a gift that the distraction brings, and when we ask deeply inside our heart and listen to the still small voice within, we will know where the true wisdom lies.

Though this lunar cycle feels like it’s time to declutter, the feeling is calm and slow. Take it one step at a time. Often times we feel like time is running out and we need to hurry and rush and do many things at once to feel productive.

This card reminds us that harmony WITHIN is the priority. Is your mind in harmony with your physical body? For example, do you push your body too much just to achieve a certain goal or desire? Are you in harmony with your emotions, or are you using distraction to escape or avoid facing your true feelings? Are your actions aligned with your Soul’s purpose? Do you truly surrender to the Universe and trust to be in the Divine’s flow?

As we clear out old energies from our lives, remember we are creating space for something new to be birthed. We may not know what that something new is now, and that is perfectly fine. There is no need to rush and find new things to stuff into this newly-created space just for the sake of filling it up.

Enjoy the new space. Be with the new space. New ideas and inspiration will flow to you. Continue doing what you love and what lights you up, even these actions may not make you any extra money or finish up your chores.

Remember to play and have fun while you are closing some old “chapters” and letting go some of the “junk” in your life. It is time to move on to a new phase but it doesn’t have to be all serious.

Repeat this affirmation as often as you need during this lunar cycle. A great tip is to write your affirmation on a piece of paper and place it somewhere you can see every day as a reminder.

We are the saviors of our own lives. If we want to see any changes happening in our lives, we must first be the change. If we expect someone or something else outside of us to save us, then we are giving our true power and authority away. That’s when we experience disappointments, betrayals and heartbreaks because of this unrealistic expectation we place on others.

The woman in the card exudes calmness, confidence and radiance. She has a very clear idea of what she wants in her life and she sets a very clear intention. It doesn’t mean that she expects everything to go as her plan. She first sets her intention clearly, and she then lets the Universe take the course. She is open to receive and knows that the Universe always supports her with what she needs for her highest good. She surrenders herself to the wisdom of the Universe.

Princess Charming can receive help and support from others too, whether it’s from the physical or spiritual realm. She is a wise leader who knows how to delegate. She knows that she doesn’t need to do everything by herself. True strength comes from within. Knowing how to vulnerable is not a sign of weakness but an act of courage to stay true to who you are.

During this lunar cycle, it is important to get clarity on what you want to create and prioritize in your life. Mercury retrograde from September 27 to October 23 gifts us a perfect opportunity to look within and ask our hearts and Soul what intentions we want to set clearly for this month.

This is the time to create a deeper connection and to communicate more intimately with our heart and Soul. What is that you truly desire, as the character Lucifer Morningstar loves to say in “Lucifer” the TV show?

Do you honor your desires, or do you carry shame or guilt from your desires so you cast them away in the shadows? Have you been shamed by others when you share your desires, and your heart shuts down as a result?

With what I understand from the tantric yoga perspective, or the path of the Goddess, desires are only a gateway for us to truly understand and experience bliss. The problem does not lie with the desire itself but the attachment to our desires.

In the book “Meditation secrets for Women” by Camille Maurine and Lorin Roche, they explain so elegantly as below,

It is time to awaken to your true power within and this is through an intimate communication with all parts of your Self, whether it’s your ego self, your feminine and masculine self, or your Divine self. It is time to let go of any shame and guilt you carry from yourself and others.

One thing to take note of the image of this card is the white scratch marks. Though this may not be the intention of the artist and it can be due to the quality of the image scan, they remind me of stretch marks that I have.

I remember the first time when I was pregnant, I did everything I could to prevent stretch marks, because I knew that once they appeared there was no going back. I thought I was doing well until my husband told me mid-pregnancy that I had stretch marks under my belly – I just couldn’t see them because my belly became so huge.

This time around with my second pregnancy I couldn’t care less about stretch marks because I already have them. Of course I still rub oil on my belly to keep the skin nourished, but I don’t feel ashamed or ugly from my stretch marks anymore.

In fact, after giving birth to my first son I couldn’t care less if I had stretch marks on my belly or not, since I don’t really wear bikinis or need to show other people my belly. The stretch marks were part of what pregnancy was about and I got the best reward from this whole process – my son.

To me, the scratches on the image remind us that we do not need to be perfect. Being our own Princess Charming does not mean we have to be a perfect mom, perfect wife, daughter, boss, friend, partner, sister, etc. Our imperfections are what make us unique and there is no shame in that. It doesn’t mean that we can then be complacent and stop growing and evolving. It means to embrace all parts of yourself, all of your desires no matter how crazy, embarrassing, or dark they seem to you.

May you create a deeper and more intimate connection with your desires this lunar cycle. May you awaken to your true power, love and wisdom within.

You’ve got this, Princess and Prince Charmings!

Instead of providing a sample affirmation for you this lunar cycle, since the word “awakening” is very personal to each individual, this is a great opportunity to come up with your own affirmation. What is it that you want to awaken to? Or learn more?

Sometimes it may not be so easy to identify what it is that we want to awaken to. Pay attention to what your current blocks or obstacles are and what lessons they are showing you. Pay attention to your desires and see where they lead you to.

An affirmation is a positive statement that usually starts with “I am” or “I + verb”. It is one way to help us set a clear intention and also a verbal reminder to focus on what we can do instead of what we cannot.

Below are some guidelines to help you form your own affirmation:

1. Always form the sentence in present tense.

There is no moment like the present. Instead of making it future-focused, like “I will” or “I am going to”, or “I try to”, “I want to”, make it in the NOW even if you feel like you are not there yet. This helps us to bring the focus to the present moment and it makes the affirmation much more powerful.

2. Avoid negative words.

Instead of focusing on what you don’t want, turn your focus on what you want to create in your life.

3. Feel the emotions.

It’s important that you really feel the emotions behind your affirmation to give it an energetic “oomph”. Your affirmation has to feel 100% aligned to where you are now in your life.

What I find personally is that sometimes I start with one to two affirmations at the beginning of the lunar cycle. Then I may add a couple more sentences later. It’s not something that is set in stone. You can adjust and fine tune the wording of your affirmation as the days go, so just start with whatever you come up with first.

You can write your affirmation on a piece of paper, or decorate it or make it an art piece, and place it somewhere that you can see all the time. For me, it’s my meditation altar. Common suggestions are sticky notes on your mirror, fridge, window, wall, or even your water jug (so the vibration of your affirmation also imprints into your drinking water).

Have fun with it and see what unfolds.

Funny enough, back when I was 24 years old, I created a booklet of what I wanted to manifest back then (similar to a vision mandala with pictures and words). In the booklet I had photos of my ideal spa, followed by a retreat center in nature. I didn’t even remember I made this booklet until I was reorganizing my things in Hong Kong three years ago.

Museflower Retreat & Spa was built in 2013 and we opened in 2014. I had achieved my dream then and at that time I was thinking I would try this out for two to three years and see how everything would go.

When one dream is achieved, other dreams arise. Museflower Retreat & Spa has become my home base, my comfort zone to try out new things. For example, I started to share my meditation experience as classes with our guests, and I slowly step out from the management role to embracing myself as an intuitive soul guide who can help people to get in touch with their soul.

Having a new dream can be scary. It requires us to step out of our current comfort zone and to deeply listen to our intuition – our soul’s voice. What is our Soul calling us to do at this moment?

I want to share my own experience as I believe we all have dreams – big and small. It is easy to get stuck in our headspace sometimes when we try to figure out how to make our dream come true. We tend to focus on the scarcity of resources and support we don’t have, whether it is money, time, energy, space, knowledge, appearance, etc.

This card is a reminder for us to focus on living a soul-led life. What does that mean? When we live from our soul, we are listening to our intuition, trusting and acting on our soul’s guidance. In a way, we are also saying YES to the Universe, and that we have faith in the Divine (this bigger presence surrounding all of us)!

The Universe always supports us for our highest good. The key word is for our highest good. That’s why sometimes our dreams may not turn out the way we plan it to be. Looking at the image of the card, it gives a flowy and even circular feeling. It reminds me of an image of a labyrinth, and I believe that’s how our dreams and our life path are manifested.

A soul’s journey is never a straightforward path. There are unexpected curves and turns. Dead ends is the Universe’s way telling us that we are on the wrong path and something needs to shift – an attitude, a mentality, a belief. The closing of one door (or the end of one dream) will only give rise to the opening of something new. Sometimes dreams shape shift mid-way. The outcome may be completely different than what we originally imagined it to be.

The woman in the card has her eyes closed. When we are living a soul-led life, our gaze is always turned inward to listen to our inner teacher. She is holding a bird in the center, and the feeling of the image is full of tenderness and nourishment. The bird may symbolize the dreams and desires we hold in this case, and we are asked to nourish it with our most tender care and attention. Eventually the bird will fly off on its own timing.

In the background we can see the different moon phases. Timing is one of the key messages of this card. On our path in life, we can never expect what will happen next, no matter how much we plan ahead in advance. Joy and sorrow. Life and death. The key is not to live in fear of the future, but to focus on the present moment and be flexible for the future.

When we trust that the Universe always support our highest good, if something doesn’t work out the way we think it should, we know that the Universe has a better plan for us. Rejection is the Universe’s way to protect us. At this moment we may not understand, but trust that at the right time the answer will reveal to us.

And when inspiration hits, we may not know what step to take to make our dreams come true. Just bring your attention and awareness back to your heart center. Remember that everything we do here is a co-creation with the Universe. Pray for guidance, and trust what arises deep down from your heart. And have faith and act on it.

Side story: Did you know that I had zero construction experience when I first started Museflower even when my mom was in real estate development? At that time I had a business partner, and she and her brother were in charge of construction and I was in charge of operations. It was a very steep learning curve for me on all things related to construction, but also as a first-time business owner. I made tons of mistakes. I even wanted to give up so many times.

Looking back now, the only way I could have founded Museflower was not directly related to my own ability but it was mainly through all the support I received. My ex-business partner who helped to design and build the whole place, even though our relationship broke down shortly after. My now-husband who helped me to open and run the center, and to continue upgrading the place with his creative ideas even though now he is not involved in operations anymore. All my past and current staff who helped me to run the place together and to support our guests with their sincerity. All our guests who gave us feedback to keep us going. My mom who supported me financially, and being my biggest cheerleader and brought all her friends to visit. My dad in Heaven who inspired me to start this and continued to support me energetically whenever I feel like I couldn’t do this anymore. And of course, countless support from amazing people all around the world.

None of these could have happened without the support from the Universe. I now have a new dream for Museflower – renovation for the rooms. This idea came to me since last year, but I have no idea when and how it will happen, especially how I can come up with the amount of money required. And it’s scary to admit that I have this dream. That means I’ll have to take action, somehow.

But I want to share this with you. In case you feel like you have a dream that seems impossible to achieve. Thinking back to the time before I started Museflower, I would have thought that it was impossible too.

So now I just need to trust, have faith and deeply listen to my Soul’s voice.

And while I’m waiting for the right timing and resources to come through, I’m on Pinterest pinning photos for my ideal new retreat. 

How can you nourish your dream today? What is one tiny step you can take towards making your dream come true?  

Sometimes this tiny step is just to shift our mentality from “I cannot” to “WE can” (we = the Universe + you). Remember the Universe always has your back.

Repeat this affirmation as often as you need during this lunar cycle. A great tip is to write your affirmation on a piece of paper and place it somewhere you can see everyday as a reminder.

Feel free to change the words to make it 100% aligned to you.

For example,

I live a soul-led life.

I can [fill in the blanks].

I trust the Universe supports me 100%.

I trust in Divine timing.

I am open to receive nourishment.

I recognize that my interpretation of the cards is largely based on reflections of my personal life experience and you may or may not resonate with what I share. I find that sometimes by sharing what’s going on in my life, others may find that they are going through something similar in their lives. It’s important to know that you are not going through this journey of life alone.

I highly encourage you to look at the cards as well and feel into the messages and energies of the cards yourself.

Read the messages and notice what sensations come up. Do you feel light or tense? Look at the images of the cards, and notice what draws your gaze. What thoughts and feelings arise? Do you like or dislike the card, or certain elements in the image of the card? Why is that and what does it remind you of?

Your intuition is your inner compass. My intuitive soul card reading only serves as a reference point, an invitation for you to reflect and ponder and to work your magic. I don’t claim to predict the future, nor can I do that. Take what you resonate and leave what you don’t.

Card reading is a great intuitive tool for us to find some clarity and guidance in our own life, but remember ultimately you are the one who get to decide and live the life you want.

Enjoy reading and feel free to let me know your thoughts, questions and sharing by email.

It doesn’t mean that we just lie down on our beds and wait for things to happen. The effort goes into preparing ourselves so we can BE in the flow. Preparing ourselves means that we continue our daily spiritual practice, whether it is meditation, yoga, prayer, journaling, or any other form of spiritual practice that you resonate with.

As we continue to shift our awareness into the heart and soul space instead of just operating from the head space, we can become an empty vessel (which I feel what the last lunar cycle on self-renewal was all about) to receive wholeheartedly what the Universe has prepared for us in this lunar cycle.

The colors of this card are vibrant and mostly warm. It feels like a playful time, reminding us not to take life too seriously sometimes. This is definitely one thing we can re-learn from our children – playing and having fun are a top priority.

If you have had doubts or had been struggling in the past few months (which I had), I feel that in this lunar cycle we can finally find some relief and lightness.

The tiny jewels on the woman’s hair are sparkling. All the tears in the past few months would not be “wasted”. They are turning into jewels of wisdom, transforming us into a better version of ourselves.

The pink gemstone on the woman’s third eye also shines. It reminds us that to be in the flow, we also need to listen and trust our intuition more.

The eyes of the woman convey a sense of relaxation and peace. It reminds me of what Elizabeth Gilbert said in an interview (read the article here) about how a relaxed and calm woman is one with her power and inner strength.

It is easy to say “be relaxed!” But for the mind, relaxing is hard especially when things are uncertain and changing all the time. To me, the best way to relax, besides all the self-care practices, is really to turn over our worries to the Universe. Trust that everything happens for a reason, and that the Universe truly has our back (I feel that I keep on repeating this but it is true).

In the past lunar cycle, the one thing that helped me to overcome obstacles, to declutter my limiting beliefs and to release my negative emotions was Divine Grace. Though it had not been easy, looking back now I understood that this experience was an important initiation to strengthen my faith in the Divine.

Sometimes it also depends on how we perceive the situation. Can we give ourselves the chance to see things in a new and different light? Life may get tough, but can we find the humor and lightness in the situation and just laugh out loud? Are we addicted to our stories, beliefs, thoughts and actions that justify ourselves as not being good enough?

Do you believe that you can be supported and can share your burden with the Universe, or do you believe that you have to do everything on your own?

The choice is in your hands, or rather your head. Allow yourself to shift your awareness to your heart, and listen to what your heart and Soul has to say.

Can your head follow what your heart and Soul truly feel?

Repeat this affirmation as often as you need during this lunar cycle. A great tip is to write your affirmation on a piece of paper and place it somewhere you can see everyday as a reminder.

Feel free to change the words to make it 100% aligned to you.

For example,

I choose to see Life in a light and positive way.

Miracles happen naturally in my life.

I know the Universe supports me no matter what.

I surrender my worries to the Divine.

I am ready to receive Divine Grace.

In this 75-minute free workshop, Soul Bliss Retreats facilitators Dr. Sarah Walton and Tania Ho will guide you through a soulful journey to explore one of the feminine archetypes, the Maiden, and how we can express the qualities of the Maiden in our daily lives, such as boldness, fearlessness, having a sense of clarity, and seeing beauty in life.

Sarah will guide you on a Soul Writing meditation to connect with your personal Maiden soul guide in your soul sanctuary, who will support you to develop a deeper trust in your intuition and to stand in the power of your independence.

Sometimes these beliefs and life experiences may eventually become blocks though, and these blocks stop us from seeing our own inner light. Instead, we act to please others, to seek for approval, and to fulfill other people’s expectations rather than our Soul’s purpose.

As we take away these “blocks”, we can again see clearly what’s underneath all the drama, identities, roles and attachments. Our Soul’s light will naturally shine forth.

The woman in the card is blended well in Nature. By shining our light, it doesn’t mean that we need to stand in the spot light. Instead, this is humble work. As we turn our gaze inward and start to heal any blocks inside us that stop us from being our true selves, we become more harmonious with our surroundings, Nature and the Universe. We can feel that we are all connected as one.

As we tend to ourselves for renewal, this is also a perfect time for some nourishing self-care. Perhaps it is a good opportunity to spend some time in Nature. Nature has incredible healing powers. Just by being in the presence of Nature can already initiate a healing process. Perhaps it’s getting a massage, soaking in a warm bath, reading a book, going for a staycation or local retreat, or allowing yourself to do nothing for the whole day. Be gentle and kind to yourself.

Repeat this affirmation as often as you need during this lunar cycle. A great tip is to write your affirmation on a piece of paper and place it somewhere you can see everyday as a reminder.

For example,

I am radiating.

My inner light shines forth naturally.

I let go of beliefs / behaviors / past experiences that no longer serve me.

I am connected with my inner light.

I am aware of my inner light.
