"The Treasures Within" - Heart Songs Weekly Wisdom: Week 29 June - 5 July 2020

“Treasures Within”

[Artwork: Original by Lena A. Matheas]

WHOLENESS – TRUE SELF - ACTION

The overall message for this coming week is all about finding our individual, unique “Wholeness”. Wholeness embodies the True Self; Individuality; the balanced Feminine & Masculine energy within; the Divine You and your Inner Gifts which are waiting to be realised.

All of us have treasures within us, special gifts we came into this world with. Sometimes these gifts need to be remembered and sometimes they just need to be uncovered and dusted off. When we finally acknowledge these unique abilities, we experience a ‘lightbulb moment’ of clarity, peace and satisfaction. It is also a moment we come to realise that our heart and our mind have united and we witness our True Self. The balance that comes from this experience, when harnessed, allows us to view any situation faced with a new perspective.

When we stop, reflect and listen to our inner guidance it is like a compass assisting us to go forward in the direction of our true purpose.

So, look deep into the unknown waters of your subconscious and see the light within glowing and expanding as you shine your magnificence for all to see!!

This week’s message represents the path or journey we are on at this moment as individuals and as the collective. So, here is some food for thought:

(VERTICAL) ROW 1: EXPERIENCE FROM THE PAST

43. FAMILY: "Within the world of family, we are always our 'smallest self'. For they can aim the arrows of truth and at times shatter the illusions captured in our hearts."

Our family are our biggest teachers. They always keep us in check, but also challenge us to grow.

'Our smallest self' cannot reach for the stars but can be told what to do and how to do it! Any illusions of grandeur will be shattered, but through truth we can learn and grow and our dreams or ideas can develop further.

First, we must overcome the hurdles we must jump at our family's hand. This is always a good gauge for real life (with a pinch of salt, of course) if we are to survive their challenges and develop into the self-sufficient, independent person we need to be.

Remember, if you are feeling a little reluctant and/or fragile, prepare yourself and your energy before visiting the area of 'family' and consider that they may probably feel the same way. They may need your support and approval, as much as you need theirs, so look beyond the facade, take a deep breath and just be yourself!!

AND

(CLARIFIER) 17. FEELINGS: "A smile, a touch and a look all punctuate your inner most feelings. Although unspoken, all is understood."

Much is conveyed through our actions. We can also tune into our intuition for more information. A conversation can be an exchange between people, however it may not reach the true essence of what is needing to be discussed.

Pay attention for the signs in other ways to complete the information being conveyed. It could open a whole new world of communication for you and allow clearer understanding as you start to read between the lines.

Between close friends and/or partners there may also be deeper understanding of the truth as you see it or know it.

(VERTICAL) ROW 2: NOW IN THE PRESENT MOMENT

36. UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL: “Within you is captured a unique individual, who is bursting to come out and play in life's game."

How exciting to recognise that we can continue to evolve into our complete, unique self! 'Within you is captured a unique individual, who is bursting to come out'.

By allowing ourselves to be and act in our true energy, we can rediscover who we are and stand in the truth that is ours, coming from a place of love in all situations. We can be free of societies' chains and 'play in life's game' as the genuine, grateful, well-rounded individual, openly sharing of ourselves and promoting fairness, love, understanding and kindness.

Our inner child, the true essence of ourselves, is always in need of nurturing and encouragement 'to play in life's game', because we have hidden it within so far at times, we do forget to consult it. Thus, we become focused only on the material needs, forgetting to feed the heart and soul along the way.

Introduce some fun activities into your day and into your life to allow your uniqueness to rise to the surface. Enjoy your day!

AND

(CLARIFIER) 10. SHARE: "Live life through your heart and remember to share with others. This allows the true meaning of kindness and compassion to evolve and be understood."

Sharing and kindness go hand in hand, especially when we open our hearts and see that others may be in need.

A small gesture is received as a major kindness when it is offered with love as the compassion also shared at this special moment is recognised by all.

Be mindful of your actions and take time to be sharing of yourself, if appropriate, and experience the feeling that you receive in return. The feeling is unmistakable and it will alert you to new opportunities in which you can live life through your heart.

7. TRUE SELF: "Serenade the heart that yearns for understanding, compassion and enjoyment. These are the moments shared that are priceless in every way. These are the moments you are closest to your True Self."

Take time out to contemplate what it may be that is missing in your life. What is it that may offer you fulfilment?

In the busyness of the days and weeks, we may forget to check with ourselves. Do our lives have the balance we need, and do we consciously include activities, people or opportunities into our day that may allow for enjoyment and the chance to 'serenade our hearts'?

An essential ingredient of being a more rounded, happy and contributing member of your family, community and world is to be present in the here and now. By being more present and aware not only are you being kind to yourself, you are also taking the time to be understanding and compassionate with your thoughts and your actions towards yourself and others.

The masks are set aside and you will be able to connect to your 'True Self' and to what makes you happiest. These 'moments are priceless' and can be life-changing!

AND

(CLARIFIER) 13. ACT NOW: "He who lingers too long, may find his love longs to linger. Better to act upon emotions than to wonder and regret."

At times, we take too long to act, even when we know clearly in our heart of hearts that we are certain about our feelings. This can be whether they be towards another, a project or pursuing our purpose.

In these instances, it would be wise to stop, reflect and then act before the moment is stolen by an intervening action or by someone else.

Hesitating only leads to regret for not acting on our strong intuition and can lead to delay in our growth as an individual or precipitate the feeling and consequences of loss.

Be true to your heart always. Speak your truth with love.

We are constantly being nudged by the Universe to adjust and reassess the “Dance of Life” and look for a better way forward. So, going forward, balance seems to be the theme. Learning to harness the positive aspects of our masculine energies and allowing our feminine energies of intuition, nurturing and compassion to be activated when facing the ‘curve balls’ the Universe keeps throwing at us!! 

With a more conscious awareness of our true essence we may experience a ‘lightbulb moment’ of clarity, peace and satisfaction. In turn, balancing the heart and the mind will allow us to view another perspective to any situations arising.

Our inner guidance will assist us to see the way forward with a clear direction and purpose if we attune ourselves to it and trust it. Each of us is a ‘work in progress’ trying to find a way to be whole within. If we are not conscious of this the Universe will keep reminding us to reflect inwardly and face the aspects within ourselves that need healing.

So, enjoy the week ahead and allow yourselves to feel the flow, act from your heart and perhaps even explore what makes ‘your boat float’, e.g. write, draw, paint, dance, sing. Give it a Go!  Revisit something creative that brought you many hours of joy, perhaps as a child or a teenager.   You will know immediately what makes your heart sing as you get the ‘goose bumps’ of recognition!!

Love & blessings

PS. The Gayatri Mantra embodies the Rune of “Wholeness”:

“You, who are the source of all power,                                                 Whose rays illuminate the world, Illuminate also my heart                                                                                                            So that it too can do your work.”

NB. [This week’s reading incorporates 6 x Cards from my ‘Heart Songs Inspiration Card’ deck and a ‘Rose Quartz Rune’ for added meaning and clarification.
