How Oracle Cards Help You Reflect on Your Inner-Now

, , , ,

The eruptions of change within collective consciousness are making it more challenging to maintain clarity and presence of mind. This is also causing a sense of disassociation for many, or a hard time focusing at any given moment. Self-connection and being able to intentionally focus contributes to our peace in being and trusting the way forward.

Meditation is an incredible tool to support mind management, but if you want to understand the energy your dancing with, or more clarity around specific areas of your life, oracle cards provide a unique way to explore our inner-now and the energy we hold around various circumstances. I created The Energetic Alchemist Oracle for this reason, so let's talk about how the cards can help enhance presence of mind, dismantle confusion, and support feeling more inner peace.

Understanding Oracle Cards: A Brief Overview

Oracle cards can be used for divination, meditation, self-reflection, altar work, and energetic alchemy. Unlike tarot cards, there isn't a fixed structure or system across all decks. Oracle provides more flexibility and freedom in use and interpretation.

Exploring the history of oracle cards, various cultures have utilized similar tools to connect with the unseen realms, access higher wisdom, and translate intuitive messaging. The cards are often colorful and full of symbolism, each deck uniquely themed to highlight different elements and energies. This open-ended concept makes them perfect for energy-healers, empaths, intuitives...anyone interested in learning the language of their own intuitive nature. I have found oracle and tarot to be incredible tools for personal exploration, revealing blind spots, accessing new perspectives, and enhancing personal reflection.

When you pick an oracle card, you're encouraged to soften, moving out of the analytical mind and into observation. You're meant to allow the card(s) to "speak", having an awareness of what comes forward through all levels of your sensory when you connect with the energy of the card and/or imagery. This activity also makes oracle cards a potent resource for those seeking to enhance their spiritual practices or daily rituals. Reading or meditating with oracle is an invitation to pause and engage with your unconscious mind, illuminating pathways of new perspectives and encouraging a deeper understanding of yourself and surrounding situations.

The Power of Presence: Using Oracle Cards for Clarity

Presence of mind is essential for self-management, living more fully, and experiencing life with more clarity. Oracle cards, with their visual and symbolic elements, help us pause and reflect, bringing us into deeper relationship with our inner-now. Instead of worrying about the past or future, you can become familiar with reflecting on what you're feeling, experiencing, and/or thinking now...and how your expression is impacting you now...and which opportunities are available to you now.

It has become popular to talk about being present, but for many it seems impossible. And the truth is that there is more than one way to direct our minds, and every option isn't for everyone. If you don't like traditional meditation, or if you just like having options for your meditative process, drawing and contemplating on an oracle card can bring you sharply into the present moment. When you engage with a card, you can slip into different brainwave activity, allowing the mind to slow down and focus, making you more receptive to higher vision and knowing. This is how oracle work can create space away from past regrets and future anxieties, focusing instead on what's happening within and around you now...your inner-now. This practice cultivates a relationship to mindfulness that can anchor you, providing clarity and calm amid the chaotic pacing and projections within the collective. Many practitioners and readers of oracle and tarot suggest that working with cards can enhance your presence of mind by rooting you in curiosity, understanding, new potentials, and inviting a deeper, more honest interaction with yourself.

Each reading becomes a reflective mirror, offering insight into what might be clouding your judgment, activating your bias, fears, and worries. Oracle can reveal your patterns and stories, exposing the true essence of your energetic resonance and WHY. Then, after highlighting what is, you can also examine which steps (or new perspectives) will support mental clarity. Working with oracle and tarot are acts of energetic alchemy.

As you shuffle the cards, you inherently project your questions, desires, and impressions of uncertainty or confusion. This direction of mind and energetic expression invites the universe to speak through symbols and messages. In a way, this can be seen as a conversation with your higher-self, tapping into higher vision and offering perspectives that might otherwise remain hidden through habitual suppression and in the distractions of daily life.

In case you're unaware, this is not just predictive work. In fact, my focus in teaching intuitive development and how to read oracle cards is to teach you how to become a conscious energetic alchemist, magician, oracle, healer - how to access clarity of mind, true understanding, and cultivate a useful relationship with your higher-self.

If you're struggling with a significant life decision, your own energy-healing, or wanting a moment of peace and expansiveness, oracle cards can act as companions in your quest for clarity. I often describe each card as being a mentor, guide, or some aspect of your own intelligence. They encourage introspection and provide the pause needed to assess the inner-now: where you are, what you feel, and what you may have been ignoring. Oracle cards operate as guideposts, revealing aspects of you that need attention, thought-forms and emotional layers that crave true translation. The cards are meant to support increased wisdom and the necessity of self-awareness that's foundational to energetic alchemy.

Finding Inner Peace: Insights from The Energetic Alchemist Oracle

The Energetic Alchemist Oracle was created through the most incredible downloads - the inspirations and musings of my intuition, helping me translate the processes and effects of energy healing, the Great Work, and reclaiming sovereignty of mind. It's a powerful deck designed to support understanding through the journey of your personal energetic alchemy. Each card contains imagery and symbolism that speak from higher aspects of consciousness for mirroring, clarity, and teachings that are without bias or judgement.

Each card and their translations within the guidebook were channeled with the intent to support balance and harmonize all aspects of your being. I created The Energetic Alchemist Oracle to encourage forward movement on paths of spiritual exploration, and to explain the many facets of the spiral inwards and outward, refining into unification. This deck is built on principles of energy energetic alchemy, highlighting:

  • The Seeker's Journey

  • The Energies of Evolution

  • The Realm of Duality

  • The Nature of Your Elements

This deck supports users in reflecting on how their inner-now (current energetic resonance, thought-forms, and emotions) are intersecting with their external landscapes, experiences, and creations. Through their powerful imagery and clear messaging, the cards invite you to reconstruct, attune, and align with peace from within, a process amplified by their rich symbolic language. Practitioners who regularly engage with these cards report a deepened sense of self-awareness, understanding, clarity, and appreciation of their transformative power.

What makes The Energetic Alchemist Oracle particularly unique is its approach to aligning with natural forces and rhythms, encouraging you to reflect on how energy movement affects your own mental and emotional state. Each card was channeled by me and then hand-drawn by the incredible artist, Hilary Zozula. The collaboration of energy and intent has made each card a potent vessel for exploring layers of influence that shape present reality. By drawing upon this deck, you're not simply searching for what will satisfy the ego, but rather calling to the inner wisdom of your higher-knowing, guided by insights that bridge mind, body, and spirit. This holistic connection is a gateway, offering a profound way of cultivating and nurturing relationship with your intuitive nature.

Awakening Intuition: The Role of Oracle School

The Energetic Alchemist Oracle School focuses first, and foremost, on your presence of mind, clarifying of energetic channels, and creating clear pathways to become more intuitively receptive. I provide both an educational and experiential approach to using oracle cards as tools for translation, effectively. The key is to refine your intuitive recognition and learn to be an observer of higher-intelligence. This supports building trust in one's own decision-making, relationship to mind and emotion, as well as understanding each stage of the alchemical awakening.

When choosing the journey to deepen your intuition with oracle cards, mentoring that includes your direct experience can offer invaluable results. I've designed a program that includes energy-work, intuitive-work, and the responsible ways of translating messages for yourself and others. I teach the fundamentals of oracle card reflection and reading, evolving your understanding and amplifying your own intuitive language. Through structured guidance, practice and community interaction, you'll learn to trust your inner voice and cultivate an understanding of the subtler energies around you.

Immersing yourself in oracle school is an enriching process of self-discovery. Here, new and seasoned practitioners share their insights, supporting each other while learning strategies for integrating oracle wisdom into everyday life. Each of the sixteen classes, held over eight weeks, provide the supportive environment needed to explore and refine intuitive skills, facilitating a deeper connection to your inner knowing so that you can release the habit of guessing and second-guessing through life. This work, the methods of teaching and participation imbues your practice with an added dimension of learning and personal awakening.

As you navigate through diverse modules, you're encouraged to not only understand the technical elements of oracle card use but also to allow your intuition to guide what's ready to be revealed and understood by you in higher ways. This balance between structured learning and intuitive exploration makes oracle school a valuable resource for those serious about working with intuition as a healing tool. By integrating these teachings, you'll find yourself more adept at translating intuitive messages with and without cards, trusting your own actionable insights that align with your life path.

Energy of July | Nurturing Connections and Passions

, , ,

Summer is meant for flinging! No, not just as in a “summer fling”, but tossing aside anything that no longer nurtures our spirits. Half of the year has gone, and this is a time of reevaluation. Fortunately, the sign of Cancer invites us back into Mama Earth’s womb, swimming in the oceans of emotion and creation. What inhibits your flow and what inspires you?

This month is also about feeling at home. They say home is where the heart is, so consider what it would feel like to make yourself at home in your heart. How can you nurture yourself so deeply, acknowledging your own needs and wants, that you feel love radiating from every aspect of your being? Allow yourself to feel so good that it feels like home no matter where you are! If emotions are stuck, try some movement, like yoga or dancing wildly in your living room. If your emotions are erratic, release with passion! Try journaling or some other form of artistic expression.

This month is all about what moves you…what feeds your soul and nurtures the air of your existence. And we can’t access the sign of Cancer without considering family connections. Regardless of what you may feel about your family, beyond hurt and disappointments, can you see how you are exactly where you are meant to be because of that foundation? And family is not always biological, sometimes they are chosen, but they are your family, nonetheless. Acknowledge how your family connections have influenced who you are today. Give thanks for the exchanges that have made you stronger, the lessons that have supported your growth and the love that extends the reach of all other emotions and experiences.

Being ruled by the moon, Cancer also reminds us to honor the Divine Feminine, the Goddess in all living things. Remember that your abilities to feel and create are powerful! The key will be mindfulness of what you’re creating. What you feel and believe are the seeds of that which you are manifesting now. Are you creating from LOVE or hurt? Heal and forgive, then create, consciously, for the journey that awaits at your feet.

Cancerian Gift:

May you feel brave and proud in the face of your emotions, bearing your heart and your soul for the moon to illuminate, reflecting back your inherent beauty. May you feel the love of divine mother; nurturing you with each breath you take, reminding you that home is always exactly where you exist. You need to do nothing more than acknowledge the LOVE that you are!

July 4th, Neptune Retrograde in Aries: Exploration and clarity around self-identity and personal power

July 7th, Uranus in Gemini: Breakthroughs in communication, ideas, and social experiences

July 10th, Queen of the Month: Full Moon in Capricorn - Revisions to plans, goals, and acknowledge your progress/success

July 13th, Saturn Retrograde: Assess how you're leading in your life and contributions to goals

July 18th, Mercury Retrograde in Leo: Reflection on confidence (how you wear your crown) and contact from past lovers

July 22nd, Sun Enters Leo: Creativity, passion, and romance - allow yourself to be THE rising star of your life

July 24th, New Moon in Leo: Intentions around creative pursuits and desires

July 30th, Chiron Retrograde in Aries: Reflection on wounds around how you assert yourself, your sense of authority, and self-empowerment

12 Tips for Deepening Your Connection with the Energetic Alchemist Oracle

, ,

Diving into the world of oracle cards can be a profoundly rewarding experience, especially when using The Energetic Alchemist Oracle. These cards can offer guidance, insights, and a deeper understanding of yourself and the energies around you. I also created the deck to be used for teaching and enhancing your work with energetic alchemy. Here are twelve simple yet effective ways to enhance your connection with these mystical cards.

1. Creating a Sacred Space

Creating a sacred space is more than just setting up a physical area; it's about cultivating energy in an environment that's meant to nurture your spiritual energy. Start by choosing a quiet corner in your home where you feel comfortable. Fill this space with elements that resonate with your personal energy, such as soothing crystals like amethyst for clarity or rose quartz for love. Let the soft glow of candles illuminate your cards, enhancing your meditation experience with a warm, inviting light.

The scent of incense can also play a vital role in grounding you and preparing the mind for deep introspection. Fragrances like sandalwood or lavender are known to help focus the mind and promote tranquility. By dedicating this area solely for your oracle practices, you reinforce its sanctity, making it easier to slip into a meditative state each time you approach your readings.

2. Developing a Personal Ritual

Developing a personal ritual for working with your cards can be incredibly empowering and adds a layer of intention to your readings. Consider incorporating a short meditation or breathing exercise before you begin. This simple act of mindfulness can enhance your focus, allowing the energies to align in a way that supports your clarity and translation of the cards. You might also use a cleansing method, like smudging with sage, to clear any residual energies from your cards and yourself.

Rituals can be personalized in many ways. I always include a gratitude practice, thanking the universe and my spirit guides for their presence and guidance. This not only sets a positive tone but also primes the subconscious to be open and responsive to the messages received. As your practice evolves, your unique ritual will become a cherished part of your connection with The Energetic Alchemist Oracle.

3. Journaling Your Experiences

Journaling after your readings helps integrate insights and observations that might otherwise slip away. It can be particularly revealing to document your initial reactions to each card, noting any symbols or meanings that jump out at you. Over time, patterns and recurring themes may emerge, providing you with a detailed map of your emotional and spiritual journey.

Consider not only the cards pulled but also your emotional state and environment during each reading. This can uncover subconscious patterns, helping you understand how outside influences might affect your perceptions. Keeping a journal creates a deeper awareness of how the oracle reflects your life, aiding in personal growth and transformation.

4. Asking Open-Ended Questions

Open-ended questions are the doorway to insightful readings that tap into the full depth of the oracle's potential. Rather than limiting your inquiry to binary outcomes, you encourage a richer, more exploratory dialogue with your deck. For example, ask "What do I need to understand about my current circumstances?" or "How can I nurture my personal growth?" These types of questions invite detailed guidance and help reveal aspects of a situation you might not have considered.

5. Listening to Your Intuition

Your intuition plays a pivotal role in unlocking The Energetic Alchemist Oracle's wisdom. As you pull each card, survey your immediate thoughts and feelings. Often, the first impression you have carries the strongest energy and is the most authentic expression of your intuitive understanding. If any symbols or images on the card stand out, ask yourself, intuitively, why they might be significant for you at this moment in your life.

Don't worry if your interpretations differ from traditional meanings; this variance is where personal growth occurs. Your intuition is unique, tapping into an inner wisdom that is exclusively yours. Trust and nurture this skill, and you’ll find your oracle readings become an essential tool in your decision-making and self-awareness process.

6. Building a Relationship with Each Card

Building a relationship with each card in The Energetic Alchemist Oracle can transform your readings from simple forecasts to meaningful interactions. Spend time with each card individually; study their imagery, meditate on their message, and explore their meanings beyond face value. As you become familiar with their unique energies, you're likely to find that they act like trusted friends, offering insight and comfort.

If you want to become proficient in reading for yourself and others, register for my upcoming Oracle School, which starts in August 2025. Previous students shared having profound experiences with relationship to the cards, clarifying their intuitive recognition, and unexpected development of their communication skill-set.

7. Meditating with the Cards

Meditating with your oracle cards can be a powerful method for integrating their wisdom into your life. Choose a card that resonates with you on a particular day and hold it during your meditation sessions. Focus on its message (intuitively and from the guidebook) and allow it to transform into a theme for your practice. This connection can bring clarity and facilitate a deeper understanding of its significance in your life, in practical ways.

How to: visualize the card's symbols and themes, letting them guide you into a meditative state. This melding of images and internal exploration can merge your conscious and subconscious mind, encouraging profound insights to emerge. Over time, this practice not only heightens your meditative experience but also strengthens your bond with the teachings embedded within the oracle.

8. Incorporating the Cards into Daily Life

Incorporating oracle cards into your daily life ensures that their insights continuously enrich your journey. Start your day by drawing a card to set a theme or intention. This card acts as a daily guide, its wisdom clarifying your decisions and deeper understanding of your interactions throughout the day. Reflect on its message in times of challenge or contemplation, allowing it to broaden your perspectives.

9. Seeking Guidance without Expectation

One of the most freeing aspects of oracle card reading is learning to seek guidance without preconceived notions. This mindset of openness acts as a vessel for the universe's messages to flow into your awareness without obstruction. Embrace each reading as a learning opportunity, accepting that the universe has useful wisdom, even if it’s not immediately clear how. This openness cultivates more spaciousness and opportunities for profound transformations.

10. Connecting with Others

Joining a community of oracle card enthusiasts can greatly enhance your practice. Sharing insights and experiences brings new perspectives and deeper understandings of your readings. Consider joining an online forum or a local study group where you can discuss interpretations, ask for feedback, and learn from others. This shared journey can reveal new dimensions in your readings and strengthen your bond with The Energetic Alchemist Oracle.

Again, you can join my oracle community by registering for the upcoming Oracle School, and also downloading The Energetic Alchemist app for more tips about working with oracle.

11. Respecting the Energies

Your oracle cards are more than just a deck; they are a spiritual tool that deserves respect and care. Always handle them with intention, recognizing the energies they hold. When not in use, store them in a special place, perhaps wrapped in a silk cloth or kept in a dedicated box, to signify their importance and protect their sacred energies. This mutual respect between you and your deck will support a harmonious and effective practice.

12. Reflecting on Your Growth

Taking time to reflect on your journey with The Energetic Alchemist Oracle can highlight how far you've come and what you've learned along the way. Revisit your journal entries and remember the questions that have guided you. Celebrate the transformations you have undergone, no matter how small they seem. Acknowledge that growth is an ongoing process and that your oracle cards have been there as valuable companions on your path to self-discovery.

Such reflections not only solidify past lessons but also prepare you for future experiences. By periodically taking stock of your growth, you reaffirm your commitment to personal and spiritual development, all while honoring the role the oracle has played in your life's narrative.

The Art of Using Oracle Cards for Personal Growth

, ,

Oracle cards are more than just a fortune-telling tool; they are a wonderful way to connect with your inner self and support personal growth. Let's explore how these insightful cards can guide you on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Understanding Oracle Cards

Oracle cards are a set of cards used for spiritual guidance, offering insights and inspiration. Unlike tarot cards, oracle decks vary in theme and are more flexible in their use. Each deck comes with a unique set of imagery and messages to help you tap into your subconscious and translate intuitive insights.

The beauty of oracle cards lies in their flexibility and personalization. With every pull of a card, you essentially tap into a form of divine communication that transcends everyday logic. This mystical connection enables you to bridge gaps between your conscious and subconscious mind, facilitating profound personal revelations. Unlike other card-based tools, oracle cards don't come with a fixed number of cards or a set structure. This allows creators the freedom to infuse their decks with specific themes, symbols, and wisdom. From empowering affirmations to gentle nudges in the direction of self-care, oracle cards speak to us in a language that resonates deeply within our hearts. They serve as a mirror reflecting back to us aspects of ourselves that may need attention or nurturing.

I created The Energetic Alchemist Oracle to specifically support illumination on the paths of healing and self-awakening. The teachings within each card and the language within the guidebook point to the mystery teachings withing the realms of spirituality and energetic alchemy. Not only can you gain clarity using the cards, but also learn more about spiritual philosophies.

How to Choose Your Deck

Selecting the right oracle deck is a personal journey. Consider your intuition, your aesthetic preferences, and the areas of life where you seek guidance. With thousands of decks available, ranging from nature-themed to mystical creatures, there is one that will resonate with you.

When you're on the quest to find the ideal oracle card deck, think of it as shopping for a new pair of magical shoes. You want them to fit perfectly, support your journey, and oh, don't forget the style! The right deck should feel like your trusty companion, always ready to offer a helping hand (or card) when you're unsure of your next step or need to understand from another point of view. It's all about creating a bond with the imagery and messages, so trust your instincts! Whether drawn to the enchanted forests or mystical oceans, choosing a deck that speaks to your soul will enhance your experience tenfold. Don't rush the process—let the cards choose you, too.

Getting Started with Oracle Card Readings

Begin by creating a calm, inviting space for your readings. Understand the card's meanings through the guidebook, but also trust your intuition. Reflect on how the card's message applies to your current life situation. The name of the card, number of the card, or imagery may all lend to your understanding and translation. Daily draws or specific spreads can also guide you based on your needs.

Consider your reading environment as sacred. The right atmosphere can help open your heart and mind to the messages you need to receive. Light some candles, burn incense, or play soothing music to set the tone. When you're ready to draw a card, hold your deck with intention and ask your question, then shuffle while focusing on this intention. The concept of using a daily card draw to reflect on one's day or set intentions for the day can be a grounding practice that centers your thoughts and aligns your energies. Whether you're looking for general guidance or specific answers, the cards will always have something meaningful to share.

Using Oracle Cards for Self-Reflection

Oracle cards can be a powerful tool for self-reflection, encouraging us to look within and ask important questions. By journaling your card readings, you can track your personal growth over time, notice patterns, and gain deeper insights into your thoughts and feelings.

Think of oracle cards as a friendly chat with your wiser self. These cards can support us with confronting our fears, celebrate our victories, see beyond blind-spots and bias, and understand our dreams. The practice of journaling about your readings can also be incredibly revealing, as it allows you to map out your inner world through words, transforming abstract thoughts into tangible insights. It's a bit like having a heart-to-heart with your best friend, but this friend also happens to encourage self-discovery and enlightenment.

Integrating Oracle Cards into Daily Routine

Incorporate oracle cards into your daily routine as a form of meditation or as a positive start to your day. Pull a card each morning to set an intention, or use them at night to reflect on your day. Regular practice can help cultivate mindfulness and intentional living. There's also a free oracle class available on The Energetic Alchemist app (download from Apple App Store or Google Play).

Picture this: it's morning, your mug is steaming with your favorite brew, and you've got a quiet moment to yourself. Why not pull a card and set a tone for the day? Oracle cards can offer daily guidance or affirmations. For example, drawing from your deck while sipping your morning drink can create an energizing blend of magic and mindfulness. And much like how we often reflect on our day over a soothing cup of tea, letting oracle cards guide your evening can provide closure and a sense of peace. The more you use them, the more they become part of your personal toolkit for clarity and wellness.

Embrace the Wisdom of Oracle Cards for Personal Growth

Whether you're new to oracle cards or have been using them for years, they offer a unique and valuable way to enhance your personal growth journey. By using them regularly and with intention, you can gain clarity, overcome challenges, and strengthen your connection with your inner wisdom.

How Can Intuitive Guidance Enhance My Reiki Practice?

, ,

Reiki, a holistic healing practice, focuses on balancing energy and encouraging self-healing. Adding intuitive guidance to Reiki can open new pathways, deepening your understanding and amplifying the healing process.

Understanding Intuitive Guidance in Reiki

Intuitive guidance refers to the inner voice or sense that directs us. In Reiki, it can guide us to focus on specific areas, sense energy shifts, and decide on the best practices for each session. The practice of Reiji-Ho in traditional Reiki exemplifies the beauty of this intuitive approach, where practitioners let their hands be guided by subtle energy currents, ensuring the treatment addresses the recipient's unique needs.

By incorporating intuitive techniques, Reiki practitioners can go beyond standard hand positions, allowing each session to naturally evolve based on the energy patterns present. This individualized approach can lead to profound insights and more meaningful healing experiences for the practitioner and the client. Each session becomes a dance of energies, responding dynamically in the moment.

As practitioners, understanding and honing our intuition can vastly enhance the depth of our Reiki practice. For starters, it involves entering a meditative state where we 'feel' more than 'do.' This naturally opens channels, allowing us to refine our internal energy flow, and by extension, better serve those who come to us seeking healing. The Energy of August 2024 reminds us to align our heart-centered inspiration with our Reiki practices, enhancing intuitive connections.

Benefits of Integrating Intuition

Incorporating intuition allows a more personalized Reiki session, catering to unique needs, fostering deeper connections, and improving the overall healing experience. Intuitive practices are akin to having an energetic conversation, where each touch and presence resonates with what the client's energy most requires at the moment.

Reiki's versatility, when combined with intuitive guidance, can significantly amplify its healing capabilities. This harmonious blend not only enhances the energy exchange between practitioner and client, but it also facilitates a more profound recognition and release of blockages, leading to a heightened sense of well-being. By trusting intuition, practitioners can unlock new dimensions within their own energy flow, enhancing both personal and professional growth.

Developing Your Intuitive Skills

Practicing meditation, mindfulness, and journaling can enhance your intuitive abilities, sharpening your awareness and helping you trust your instincts during sessions. The path to intuition is one of self-exploration and openness. Workshops, such as those offered in The Alchemy Circle, can provide a structured environment for nurturing these skills, offering guided experiences that expand your intuitive scope.

Another strategy is to actively engage in exercises like visualization and energy tracking, which hone your ability to perceive subtle changes in vibration and frequency within yourself and others. This can be likened to learning a new language—one that communicates through vibrations, feelings, and insights. Commitment to this practice will gradually build an innate confidence in your intuitive capabilities.

Applying Intuition in Your Reiki Practice

Learn to listen to your intuition actively during Reiki sessions; let it guide your hands, session flow, and techniques used, ensuring a tailored healing journey. Intuition, once embraced, becomes a trusted companion in navigating the subtleties of energy healing, transforming how you relate to each client's unique energy signature.

A case in point is the story of Eboni Banks, shared through an inspiring conversation available on Reiki Radio Podcast. Her journey in discovering the gift of clairtangency via Reiki serves as a reminder of the incredible capacities intuition can uncover in each of us. Through nurturing these abilities, your Reiki practice can evolve into a powerful platform for healing and discovery, both for yourself and your clients.

Embrace Intuition for a Deeper Healing Experience

By trusting your intuitive guidance, you can enrich your Reiki practice, making it more effective and fulfilling for both you and those you work with. Embracing intuition is about building confidence in the unseen connections that shape our healing journeys. You can explore your own intuitive gifts by registering for Intuitive Mastery, a self-paced, online course.

Alchemy of the Oracle

Once the seeker has accepted the path of awakening, their sensory expands and they become aware of who they are, and have always been, in new ways. You’re here, right? You are finding ways to understand your empathic nature, what it means to be both physical and non-physical. You are starting to experiment with your intuitive recognition, wanting to trust your higher-guidance, as you heal and transform.

You’re now ready to embrace your role as the Oracle; the one who is no longer seeking externally but knows that the path must evolve into understanding your own True Nature.

As such, you realize that harmonizing above and below allows you to become a mediator between the realms.

The gift in your healing and alignment is that you also have an opportunity to support others through the processes from seeking to understanding.

When I was creating this deck, I envisioned a group of students, Oracles, who would be ready to use the cards as coaching tools and to help facilitate group work. I look forward to sharing these teachings with you, guiding you towards your own oracle alignment.

Alchemy of the Seeker

A seeker can roam aimlessly, hoping to find answers to questions not yet asked. Why?

Because as you begin to awaken, you can feel and sense that there’s more beyond what you’ve known or understood.

You begin to wonder if you’re on the right path. You question the meaning of life and there’s a sudden urge to follow new roads, but you don’t have clear direction. You’ll even begin to wonder if those around you can feel or sense the same mysteries of the unknown. If they also feel that there’s more to life than the routines that are becoming uncomfortable and no longer feel aligned or resonant with your heart. The soul is emerging, it has been activated into your conscious awareness: allow yourself to remember beyond the teachings and programing of illusion.

A conscious seeker knows the hidden wisdom is within but is merely trying to find the key to unlock their own inner-knowing. This is where the wisdom of the cards come in, acting as little arrows and clear guides to support you in seeing and knowing beyond your blind-spots.

The cards are tools, teachers, that help you translate the whispers of your higher-mind.

Beyond bias, fear, denial and attachments, you may use the oracle to clarify what IS, so that you may make choices from a space of understanding.

This is a foundational course, teaching you how to read oracle intuitively. Yes, the guidebook will help you understand meanings, but to translate cards accurately, you must learn the art of intuitive reading.

In this course you’ll learn techniques to not only build a deeper relationship with The Energetic Alchemist Oracle, but how to build a beautiful relationship with your intuitive-self.

This Course Includes:

Module One: The Seeker: Anatomy of Questions

Module Two: Intuitive Communication

Module Three: Understanding Language of the Cards

Module Four: Relationship Building for Clarity and Trust

Module Five: Spreads and Storytelling

Module Six: Reading for Self and Others

BONUS Module: Unlocked After Completion of Module Six

Module Seven: Homework Prep and Practice

How Are You Relating to Life?

,

Hello beautiful, alchemist!

Within the beauty of Libra season, many people begin to analyze and recognize their experience within relationship. While this doesn’t have to be romantically inclined, it does play a part. Even more though, bigger picture, you’re being asked to consider how you’re relating to your life in its entirety.

The scales of balance are upon you.

There are parts of your life that you pour more energy into, hoping to achieve goals and desires. There are things that you prioritize and often stress over, while other areas of life are sorely neglected. You’re aware of the imbalance, and yet you may not know how to reach a state of harmony with all that you have on your plate, on your mind and in your heart.

There’s a common struggle between this and that. How do you accomplish this and that? How can you make time for this and that? How can you have it all…this and that?

One of the first things to consider is the balance of heart and mind; what you think and what you feel. When you’re torn between what you think is right and what you feel is best, the inner tug-of-war can become daunting and keep you in a state of dissatisfaction. How often do you find yourself pulled towards what you “have to do”, versus what you “want to do”, feeling the burden of imbalance?

Again, you’re being invited to consider the weighing of, the balancing of, heart and mind. Can the two coexist in harmony? Absolutely! In fact, when this occurs, you feel in flow! These are the moments when you feel everything is lining up, you’re dancing with synchronicity and excited about the experiences you’re choosing.

Here’s the thing…

These aren’t random occurrences, or don’t have to be. There is a way to manage the balance of heart mind, informing your decision making and how you relate to all areas of life, from your higher lens of understanding.

Unify the analytical and intuitive.

You’re used to functioning from a state of logic, reason…convincing yourself of this or that, despite what you may feel on a deeper level. On the other hand, there are times that you’re so caught up in the feeling of it all, that you throw logic out the window. In either scenario, you may end up feeling doubt, not fully trusting your choices and questioning if you’re doing the “right” thing. Ultimately, you question how you’re relating to and understanding your path. 

Are you on the “right” path?

As I mentioned, you’re very familiar with the analytical aspect of your mind and functionality. Unfortunately, you may not have been taught or encouraged to understand the language and messaging of the intuitive mind, which brings balance and clarity to your scope of vision and understanding. When you come into relationship with your intuitive mind, allowing harmony between the intuitive and analytical, you come into true knowing. You begin to trust your decisions; you understand how you are relating to all aspects of life, and you begin to manage it all with more wisdom!

You question and then desperately seek “right” answers for the sake of ease and grace on your path.

 

Alchemy of the Seeker and Alchemy of the Oracle

I created The Energetic Alchemist Oracle to support you in understanding and clarifying your path. Oracle helps you gain clarity around mind and emotion, simplifying energy around situations and how you’re relating to it all. It illuminates the sacred union between analytical and intuitive, exposing the energy expressed through all aspects of this and that.

So how are you relating to life? There’s an easy way of knowing. Which then supports you in making clearer decisions to support more balance and harmony on your path.

We’ve been through a lot in the last few years, so much of life turned upside down and forcing us into new paths, new decisions and options…emphasizing the need to relate to life in new ways.

 

It’s time to understand what you’re truly seeking and how to trust your way forward, with more confidence!

Right now, say yes, a BIG yes, in your heart, to accepting your way with more joy and clarity, then notice what that feels like.

 

Now say, YES, to creating more harmony and balance in the way you navigate and create your path moving forward.

 

Even say (and feel) and huge, YES, for the opportunity in helping others begin to clarify their own paths and higher potential!

 

There are only twenty-two spots available to join me in Alchemy of the Oracle, where you will learn and experience the gifts of balancing heart and mind. You will learn how to translate your intuitive recognition and how to create sacred relationship between the analytical and higher aspects of your consciousness!

Class begins with the foundational course, Alchemy of the Seeker. We begin during the portal of the Winter Solstice and will have a sacred ceremony of initiation during the Lunar New Year, January 22nd, before officially entering The Alchemy of the Oracle.

 

I’m sharing this invitation with you now to allow time to start building deep connection and relationship with your deck. I will be posting videos to support you in process, leading up to class. You will also receive an Oracle box, including an exclusive oracle cloth, TEA Oracle workbook and a few other surprises! The first ten to sign up (some alchemists already have) will also receive a handmade, wooden card stand, created by a member of our community (it’s beautiful).

 

Feel back into that BIG yes and let’s start the journey of relationship in higher-ways!

With love and excitement,

Yolanda

Navigate the Season, Intuitively

Hello, beautiful alchemist…

Wherever you are in the world, is there any evidence of the shift in season? Living in Southern California, it still feels like summer with cloudless skies and the need for air conditioning in the afternoon. While this is nice, I remember growing up with fall being my favorite time of year because of the changes. Yes, summer breaks were the best, but I was always mesmerized by the gorgeous change of leaves, crisp romantic air and big cozy coats. It felt like an imaginative time, a time to get lost in books, curl up with a blanket and watch my favorite movies. It was a time to settle down after the playfulness of summer, which was more focused on the external world.

No matter the weather, is something in you feeling the shift and welcoming of autumn?

There’s a certain kind of magic with the change of each season, the energy of each season, and what each season mirrors for our personal processes of growth, release and progression. What I love about this particular cycle is that it emphasizes recognition of harvest. We’re invited to acknowledge all that was gained and experienced in the fruitfulness, warmth and illumination of summer, taking stock of what is ripe and nourishing, while also noting what we may be clinging to that would better serve us in letting go.

Balance In All Things…

This is also the season that highlights our need for harmony and the alchemical nature of relationship. The sun is now illuminating the essence of Libra, offering the lessons of you and other as ONE.

  • How are you relating to others, situations and things?

  • How are you navigating relationships, partnerships or collaborations?

  • How are you balancing work, self-care and family?

  • How are you harmonizing mind, body and energy?


The good news is that we have nature, spiritual practices and community to support us. We have been designed to sense, feel and understand expressions of divine intelligence (form and formless) to help guide us through these cycles of transition and change. This is why your relationship to intuition is vital, understanding the dance and unification of intuitive and analytical mind (heaven and earth). When you are clear, receptive and aware of how you (how nature) are moving forward, there’s no need to resist THE WAY forward. It's not always easy, but that’s where our tools come in.

My go-to for clarity has been meditation. The connection to breath and slowing the mind into observation, rather than calculation, brings phenomenal states of peace. From this space, the analytical and intuitive kiss and become other. Consciousness elevates into awareness of all as no-thing. This state of being makes room for inspiration, guidance and knowing. It’s beyond confusion, but as you sink back into decision making mode, the analytical mind resumes its state of opposition with intuition…which often leads to doubt.

How to Establish Trust

Relationship building takes time, patience, willingness and diligence. Just as it takes time to get to know and understand others, it takes time to re-know and understand YOU beyond old stories, patterns and frequencies.

As you come into relationship with spiritual practices, such as Reiki and meditation, you begin establishing a new relationship with you and all. You become more aware of your intuitive and energetic sensory. You begin to have new understanding and insights that you may have never experienced before, so of course the analytical mind jumps in to assess…until it’s properly trained and translation of the intuitive is understood.

The first tool to help me learn the language of my intuitive mind was oracle cards. The images, symbolism, numbers, colors and even key words, bring the intuitive and analytical into co-resonance. Oracle cards help to validate your intuitive knowing, like a non-biased friend. Even more, they allow your intuitive mind to bring your blind spots into clear view.

What have you been considering or questioning lately that you'd LOVE clarity around?

*images by Amy Sage, @amy.sage.reiki

Imagine having a tool, a guide, that can reveal to you what IS from:

  • the lens of your intuitive knowing

  • the lens of your higher mind

  • the frequencies of energetic coding that surround you, your thoughts, emotions and situations


It has been almost three weeks since the launch of The Energetic Alchemist Oracle, and I am so thankful for the feedback and responses so far. Each deck is full of symbolism, art and intention that speaks directly to you, beyond any limitations or attachments of lower-mind. I also infuse each deck with Reiki, in connection to you personally, clarifying connection between you and your deck, so that messages may be translated with more clarity and understanding. Because of this, it should be no surprise that many people have shared feeling the energy and deep connection to the cards as soon as they work with them! Again, I’m deeply grateful, as the cards are doing their job!

ENROLLMENT IS OPEN!

I also understand that some of you want to go deeper, learning how to trust your own translations, reading cards beyond the book, and allowing your intuition to weave the stories of the cards together for crystal clear understanding that you know and feel as true.

The offerings of Alchemy of the Seeker and Alchemy of the Oracle are available for enrollment today. This was very intentional, as they are offerings that mirror the essence of the equinox:

  • relationship building (with self, intuition and cards)

  • harmonizing analytical and intuitive as one

  • acknowledging the wisdom of your path and THE WAY forward

  • holding space to cultivate relationship with others, as a clear channel and guide


Alchemy of the Seeker is a foundational course, where Alchemy of the Oracle is more advanced and includes Alchemy of the Seeker. Be sure to order your deck before classes begin!

I look forward to working with you. Cheers to your illumination and clarity!

The Magic of The Energetic Alchemist Oracle

,

I am so EXCITED to share this interview with you. Today you will meet the illustrator of The Energetic Alchemist Oracle, Hilary Zozula. Hilary is a phenomenal artist and the way she brought my imaginations to life was unreal. We discussed the process of working together, via email, for over a year! You’ll also learn about her inspirations as an artist and her processes for commissioned work.

The symbolism and other details of each card (74 within the deck) were designed to speak to your intuitive nature, with clarity, and inspire your own higher-knowing. Hilary and I, both, are beyond grateful that YOU will be able to connect with the artwork within the cards, and the accompanying guide book, sharing your connections and interpretations with us on Instagram: @reikiradio @hilaryzozula and @teaoraclecards
