Healing Treat
Guardian of the Night Tarot, MJ Cullinane
The presence of Bear Spirit signifies the time of deep healing we are in currently. Bear Spirit also reminds us of our natural rhythms and suggests we pay attention to what our bodies are telling us. This ascension process is not about leaving the body, it is about being embodied differently. Bear Spirit is available to guide and support us in this process. We are encouraged to lean into Bear Spirit’s strength as we learn to recognize our own.
Bear Spirit will also assist you through the dream realms so that you may understand the guidance of your soul. Bear Spirit is not afraid of the dark and will assist you in seeing and integrating parts of shadow as you step into greater wholeness. And, as you come into your sovereignty and empowerment, Bear Spirit will assist you in navigating the unknowns with confidence, faith and trust.
Bear Spirit reminds you that rest and renewal are part of this evolutionary process. It is not only okay to slow down and be present, it is vital to continuing. This is part of being in flow with the Universe and a reminder that the Universe will always provide.
Combined with the energy of the Nine of Pentacles, we are encouraged not only into self-care, but also to give ourselves a treat. Perhaps this is taking your inner child out for an ice cream. Perhaps this is taking yourself out to dinner to going out for a nice date night. Thie Nine of Pentacles encourages enjoying the rewards of your hard work, while being mindful of not going into old behavior patterns of excess.
The work you have been doing is supporting you in becoming more independent and self-sufficient. It has been teaching you about ebb and flow generally and, particularly, with regard to finances. This card reflects moving into greater prosperity, stability, and material security.
What can you allow for yourself today that is a healthy treat that will support you in rest, rejuvenation, feeling more confident, or other form of self-care?
Are you willing to give yourself permission for a treat?
If not, why not? What feels constricting? Are you feeling lack?
Will you allow yourself to “stop and smell the roses”?
Are you willing to see that you have all that you need?
Are you judging your abundance - where it comes from, how you receive it, whether you deserve it?
Are you willing to know that more abundance is on the way?
Are you willing to recognize that abundance is the natural state of the Universe?
Will you allow yourself to receive it?
Are you willing to accept the guidance and support of Bear Spirit, your Higher Self, your guides and angels?
Even if it is challenging to do so, allow yourself permission for some form of treat today - even if it is simply sitting in silence - and observe how you feel. What do you notice? Do you feel more in alignment? Do you feel more spacious within? Do you feel rejuvenated, renewed?
We would love to hear of your reflections in the comments section below.
