Contentment
Greetings Steemit Fam!
It's been a couple of weeks since I shared a Medicine Card Monday with you all, due to moving and life has taken many twists and turns for your Eagle Spirit. Here I am again, to share with you complimentary medicine for your soul. We begin with a a card deck I share with you all once a month and it’s from the Original Angel Cards.
Every month there is a certain word that we work with in connection with Angels and for the month of August 2018, the word is Contentment.
Contentment is "the quality or state of being contented." I'm not sure why dictionaries give us these definitions, but we then look up the word contented this means "feeling or showing satisfaction with one's possessions, status, or situation."
Alright, so this is a bit of a heavy one since our younger generations are now expecting things we may not have had, and yet we want to give them what we feel they deserve or to give what we didn't have. Nowadays, it's normal to give a child a cell phone, iPad, and/or computer when they aren't yet walking instead of teaching children about plants, flowers, how to grow food and survive, or how about coin collecting (silver in particular). How about just being happy with having a roof over our head, food to eat, or clean water to drink.
Let's take a look around us right at this very moment and appreciate what we have, if we can get there into that space and thinking pattern then we are well on our way to finding contentment.
How can we apply this to Steemit and our daily lives you might ask? Let's check our attitude if someone wins a contest we didn't, becomes more popular, or get's noticed by a group like Curie. Do we become jealous, envious, or angry? I'm not innocent in this area or a perfect human being so this is just something to work on. Let's be content with how far we've come and keep moving forward. There is always room to grow, learn, and expand our horizons.
All of my readings are geared towards a healing; breaking through mental, spiritual, or emotional blocks that will assist us in overcoming every day obstacles.
If this is your first time swinging by, my Medicine Card Monday initiative is my positive intention to pull a card of healing or medicine for the community. This is different than tarot in that the cards I use are on the medicinal aspect of humanity other than the most common cards found in a tarot deck.
The decks I use are The Wild Unknown - Animal Spirit, Mystical Shaman Oracle, and the Chakra Wisdom Oracle. The cards will assist in helping those interested, find comfort in things going on in our community and the world we are now dealing with. Namely, issues around the world, astronomical, or overcoming health issues of all sorts, etc., maybe just something out of balance that we are feeling on any particular day that needs guidance.
By pulling a card for Steemit this will in turn assist with my Medicine training, give back to the community, and help those seeking answers. I will take some of the reading from guidebooks provided with the cards, but primarily give intuitive and medicinal words to help our community. We all have days when we need encouragement, inspiration, and comfort.
The Card - Contentment
The Meaning
Savor what is in your life now. The creative process is never finished. Let go of striving and rest in satisfaction and joyous fulfillment.
The Message
Be at peace with what is, give yourself permission to gently reside in the present. Recycling the past is not 'ego-logical' and worrying about the future is a distraction, both cause the state of satisfaction to elude us.
Calming our interior prepares us for the emergence of what is new and gives us a container to receive grace when it is offered. How we hold the content of our lives determines the quality of content-ment we feel.
Letting go of pre-determined decisions and conclusions instantly shifts our attention. It is like turning our head to look in a different direction and we come alive for a moment. Try it.) Something in us awakens giving us a glimpse of reality beyond our experience and conditioned responses - even just for a moment.
There is something emerging within humanity that has not occurred before. With no clear path or map outlining how this step toward a global consciousness happens. Contentment allows a quiet certainty to develop. Savor the moment, there is nothing more fulfilling.
We hope the Angels continue to inspire your life. May you have many moments this month to savor.
There may be those who do not trust or believe in messages from Angels, I would like to encourage you to allow them into your life as they are all around us and if you have not read my previous post on the fact that three Angels are appointed to us at birth then I encourage you to read my prior post here.
This medicine reading is to encourage an opening and beginning of our word of the month "contentment,” and not in any way pressure you to change your belief system. Maybe just crack it open a little bit, and if you happen to understand the significance of Angels in your life then move on to bringing the above message into your circle of awareness.
I hope you liked the reading for this week. If so, please leave a comment below. I'd love to hear what you think (but not if you think it's all BS!) That's typical Eagle Spirit humor right there.
If you would like a personal Medicine Card reading:
Send 2 STEEM per card.
Choose a deck and spread: Animal Spirit (1, 2, 3, 4, or 13 card spread), Chakra Wisdom (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 7 card spread), or Mystical Shaman Oracle (1, 3, or 4 card spread.)
Each person is given a special one-on-one healing energy session with a reading sent from a Reiki Master Teacher (that be me), and a Native American ceremony is included.
Photos will be provided and explained. Please do not share these publicly.
You can find me on Discord under the name Eagle Spirit #4491, or through the group Marketplace under Eagle Spirit's energy work channel.
Have a glorious week and come back next Monday for another Medicine Card reading! Peace.
This post is dedicated to , who has been a great strength to me in moments she may not even realize. She is always an encouraging force in my Steemit family circle and I appreciate everything she does. This kicks off "Eagle Spirit's Contentment Challenge", so please feel free to write a comment or a post and use the tag #contentmentchallenge showing how or why your are content. There will be more added to this as we go along (SBI prized, etc.), for the month of August, 2018 just write up why you are content NOW. Next month may be more detailed like do not buy anything other than basic needs and just keeping the theme in mind to be content with what we have.
Greetings,
Thank you for stopping by to read my blog. I’m a First Nation member of the Hopi & Apache Native American tribes, Medicine woman in-training, first time blogger since November 2017, (right here on Steemit), paralegal, researcher, and writer based in the Mountains of Colorado, USA. I work closely with fellow planktons and minnows in a few groups by helping them adjust to Steemit and curate quality content. I’m especially interested in finding others who love natural medicine originating from ancient practices, gold and silver, energy work, and the spirit world. Additionally, I'm the creator of #MedicineCardMonday, so if you are interested in receiving a Native American blessing stop by my blog every Monday, or just say hello!
See you soon,
