Patience & Rhythm

Today, we are greeted by the energies of the Patience card, from the Numerology Guidance Cards, by Michelle Buchanan. It says:

“This card indicates a time to stop and enjoy the present moment, as nothing more can be done to achieve the outcome you desire. Rather than take action, you are being asked to evaluate your progress and clarify your dreams, which will help you manifest them sooner.

This card also indicates a need to take your time and pace yourself instead of making hasty plans and decisions. Failure to do so could result in stress and disappointment. This is an opportunity to focus all of your energy and attention on visualizing your dreams, as opposed to pushing on the obstacles standing in your way. Surrender the outcome to the Universe and get on with living your life. Allow things to come to fruition in Divine order and timing.

In order to improve your current situation, you are being asked to adjust to, and harmonize with, the natural rhythm and cycles of your life — cycles that are encouraging you to be patient and still. Stillness is the key to receiving clear and accurate guidance, and patience will help you attract the outcome you desire.

Affirmation: I patiently trust, and surrender the outcome to the Divine.”

(Numerology Guidance Cards, by Michelle Buchanan, Guidebook, Patience, pp. 37-38.)

This card invites us into the divine partnership that we have with Spirit. The illusion of separation has taught us that we must effort, force outcome, and do everything on our own. It has also convinced us that we are perpetually running out of time. This keeps us in an elevated state of stress. This programming keeps us on a mental treadmill of trying to always figure it out. It keeps us in an energetic of the fear of failure and of proving our worth.

Patience invites us to calm our nervous systems and to embrace that we are already worthy, already valuable, already successful. It invites us to recognize that time is on our side, rather than against us. It asks us to embrace divine timing as a way of life. This is not an excuse to be lazy, rather it is an invitation into flow and using our focus - our intention and attention - and to take inspired actions.

It also asks us to take the time to refine our desires, to consider how they may have evolved through contrast, and to see how far we have already come.

Despite how we may often feel, this is is also a reminder that we are not alone - we are part of a much larger living energetic system.

In what ways is this invitation showing up in your life?

Where are you being asked for patience?

Are you in resistance?

Are you hearing guidance clearly?

Have you taken the time to refine and clarify your dreams and desires for your life?

Are you flowing with your natural cycles and rhythms? Have you taken the time and attention to experience these rhythms?

When we are willing to take the time, embrace stillness, refine, accept, trust, surrender, and prepare, we are able to take advantage of opportunities when they align and resonate. We are no longer trying to fit a round peg in a square hole; rather, we move in flow and synchronicity with the Universe. And, we open to receive the assistance, abundance, and unconditional love that surrounds us at all times.

We allow ourselves to live richer and fuller lives.

May your life be full of wonder and joy today!
