Theme Of The Week:

Control

Keywords: Master, influence, accept, compassion, patience, confidence

In order to flourish, relationships must be fluid and free rather than overly rigid and controlled by emotional neediness or insecurity. It’s important to master your emotions so that they do not rule the relationship. A partnership based solely on emotion is out of balance and out of control. 

Self-control is the key here. Act from a combination of emotion and intellect, and your relationship will thrive and grow. Be sure that your influence is gentle and loving. This is not the time for domination.

This card asks you to accept another person’s uniqueness and to not require that person to conform to a mold of your choosing just to make you feel more comfortable.

This card also serves as a reminder to come from compassion and understanding rather than anger or frustration. Now is the time for patience, steadiness, and clear thinking. Apply these qualities to your relationship with others and with yourself.

If you’re involved with a difficult person or situation, try to look through the other person’s eyes and experience what his or her heart and soul feels. Try to see the situation from another perspective.

Affirmation:

I control my emotions and embrace peace

Challenge For The Week:

Just Breathe

Keywords: Step back, reconnect, rest, recharge

So much time and effort can be expended in maintaining current relationships or in creating new ones that it’s easy to forget to just stop and breathe once in a while. This life is not just about connecting with other people. The most important connections you can have are with the Divine and your Higher Self. 

This is a good time to take a break from your personal relationships and reconnect with your spiritual self. Set aside a few minutes every day to sit quietly and just “be.” 

In addition to caring for your spiritual self, look after your physical body. Get plenty of sleep, eat healthy foods, and exercise. Treat yourself to a movie, or take a walk in nature.

How The Cards Come Together:

Christine’s Guidance

In the theme this week our Guides are advising that self-control begets confidence. Allow a situation to unfold, and detach yourself from the outcome. Don’t try to control it.

The end result of self-control and confidence is peace. Take some time to examine how “control” in its many aspects is affecting your relationships.

Our approach to the week being that we try keep a positive attitude and outlook. You’ll find that when you remain optimistic, joy will bring increased stability and warmth to your relationships.

Challenging us this week will be in spending time on ourselves. Recognize that if you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t have enough energy to take care of your loved ones.

Periodically step away from any cares around heart matters and focus on recharging your soul. Dedicate some time for yourself to recharge your emotional batteries and therefore have more energy to invest in your relationships.
