Tuesdays Intuitive Chat with Leanne & Ros - 22/1/2019

Sharing a weekly hour of Fun & Chatting. 22nd Jan 2019



We had a lovely session of chatting about depression, anxiety and a few ways to move around these issues. Some of this may resonate with you as well, for there are many who suffer with these illnesses.



It's not always the initial symptoms that indicate what may be underlying mental health problems or what is the start of these because we could have been living with it for many years without even knowing it was depression or anxiety!

Being LIVE

What is it that tells us we are ALIVE vs. LIVE ?

I'm asking this question of myself after I've had a yummy lunch ... contemplating the feeling of the food as it satisfies my senses; of smell, taste, fullness in the tummy, the movement of the food through the inner realms (yes, I feel the peristalsis a lot!) and the products of the body processes!

It's later than I wanted to be in my 'commitment' to a daily card draw ---

26. Book “The book of knowledge, the book of secrets, what I house is educational and private. I may be your project or your research, and sometimes your studies and journals. Watch out for the cards around me, because with the Sun you will see right through me. I am hidden, I am unknown, but occasional knowledge I might learn.”

The Book draws attention to the power of knowledge and the importance of possessing it. This card may suggest there is something somebody needs to know, however this will only become apparent with the presence of the cards around it.

The Book is a vehicle for the very imagination itself. The Book of the Reverie promises tales of great mystery within its pages. It has a mechanical dial on its front, showing the intricacies of learning.

The Book opens to the right of the card, which indicates in readings the direction of the learning - literally, what is being opened by the learning ...

As I look into this card in great depth and especially in relation to the question I posed above about

ALIVE vs LIVE

- my eye is led to the centre of the book and the beauty and complexity of the dial : it is showing me the ability that we have of being able to move the hands, choose the settings and many other variables that we can choose 

- then being led from the dial to the clasp and the expectation that it will open once the right [Combination] is entered 

- An open book is then before us, to receive from the lessons already written - OR - to write the story as we want it!

Is that the lesson of the day!? We learn in many different ways, not just from a book. We need to OPEN and be OPEN to the possibilities and opportunities that are the part of the story yet to be written.

Live your life as alive as you can create it.

And life continues ...

Another day for those of us who live in this world ...

As I begin to contemplate what activity I will be doing today, I received a phone call from a friend ... a member of their family had passed away.

This is the card that had literally jumped out of the deck as I was shuffling, before I received that call ...

Coffin “I am the painful change and transition. You will feel me through your body, your mind, and certainly your wallet. Depression, loss, and bankruptcy are my specialties. I am sickness and bed rest. I am all endings and sometimes death.”

The Coffin of the Reverie deck harks back to the Ancient Egyptian period. Although traditionally seen as an ending, or finality, this is also symbolic of an initiation that brings a final reckoning of our life purpose. It is often when we are faced with life-changing events or illness that we evaluate the important aspects of our life.

Here in the Reverie world we see the coffin in the form of a sarcophagus, flanked by the imposing figure of Anubis, the God of embalming and protector of the dead. One of his roles is to assist with weighing the heart to ascertain the worthiness of the person to enter the afterlife. The significance of this card an be the actual ending of something as we know it.

*********

I'm taken back to the times in the last two years where I've experienced the death of both my parents ...

We are but mortal Beings of Soul, living here in our chosen body and chosen time.

Good Luck! 19th January 2019

The Good Luck of Clover!

2. Clover “I bring you luck, and happiness. I make things better, and as long as there isn’t a negative card after me, I will turn difficulties to opportunities. I am the nice surprise and the happy sighs.”

This card depicts an explosive reverie of clover. Three- and four-leaf clover bearing white flowers are set against the backdrop of an idyllic day. All is vibrant green, fertile, and promising growth and luck. The white of the flower symbolizes the purity of luck. Where this card is placed, all is well. When taken in the context of flower language, the white of the flower is known to be a symbol too of remembrance; the card can mean “think of me” from someone afar. The three-leaf clover is commonly known by the Irish as a shamrock and is associated with luck. Since the four-leaf clover is less prevalent, the act of finding one naturally in the wild is considered very lucky. The clover is also known to have associations with love, passion, and abandonment. Medieval poetry was full of passionate trysts between young lovers in fields of clover. So here we also have the state of being lucky in love. However, if the Clover card lies next to the Scythe (10) card, expect the luck of love to be short-lived!

Wow, even just thinking about the positive energy this is creating and reinforcing in my own mindset.

Working with these cards is a wonderful journey and I hope it's the same for you as you read and delve into what this card is telling you.

A time of Intention

Do you set an Intention on waking?

My intention this morning was to awaken to a day that would be full of new options and CHOICES.

It was a great surprise that this card was the one that virtually threw itself out of the deck!

(continuing to work with the Gilded Reverie Lenormand by Ciro Marchetti)

22. Choice          "Decisions and choices are what I offer. Alternate directions are what I augur. I speak in multiple and double, and when I'm in a relationship I might be trouble."

There comes a time when one needs to make the choice of going one way or the other; neither way is right or wrong, but only one way can be taken. Here in the Reverie we have the steps that take us upwards and onwards toward this point of deliberation. Stairs and steps are symbolic of ascending to a higher place, a much better place, where once you are through the doors at the top that lead to the stars, then the possibilities are infinite.

Being a Tuesday, I knew that I was intending to do a LIVEstream with a friend in the morning, and move on to more business things in the arvo!

On checking my mobile phone I had a message from a friend, that cut through my heart like a knife ...

Throughout my day I could not just leave this feeling of needing to DO SOMETHING!

I made my choice when dealing with my own experience of cancer ... a positive result.

Persistence in being Consistent!

Argh ...

It's been a few days (I gather)
and the brain fodder fizzled
into the mists
of the heat mirage
on the land ...

It's getting HOT here ...

The card I pulled for today is:      (from the Gilded Reverie Lenormand by Ciro Marchetti)

23. Mice
You don't want me in your house, you don't want me in your blouse. 
I bring loss, I bring theft with destruction and decay. 
I am your stress and anxiety, I am the worry in society. 
I am your nuisance, I am your pest, I bring sickness in your nest.

These mice are completely happy with their work; the gradual destruction of possessions and resources. They are busy nibbling at cloth and fruit, and at bread. They appear to have no regard for ownership, and are rapidly gnawing away while no one is looking.

These mice are symbolic of loss, either a gradual whittling away of one's savings ...
Their presence brings into the reading a "bite-sized" effect, something happening in little chunks. That's not to say it isn't a powerful card, They may look delightful, but not when found in your own kitchen.
They are the niggling aspect of life, where there is an issue, something that has become a pest in your life and will just not go away and leave you along!
It leaves your mind troubled.
It also advises you to take care of your possessions.

The Mice of the Lenormand are terrible hoarders and are most likely to represent theft.

**********

I like mice ... my feelings around them are about determination, persistence and resilience.

They get in anywhere and everywhere ... making the most of opportunities as they arise.

Look at the card and see what you feel ...

It's now the 11th of January 2019 ...

Wow ... a year starting to sneak past me already!

As we continue to move through time, it's a reminder to each of us, that for us here in this life, it's a limited commodity.

I was so totally chuffed to see this card being chosen for today!

As a dog owner myself, I know only tooo well just how loyal these wonderful characters can be. My own female dog is now 8 years old and of the Maltese X variety, soft and mostly gentle and smiles all the time ...

My own eye is being led to the ball on the floor, behind the collar ... red and bright, just waiting to be part of the play.

I then noticed the heart symbols above the dog's head and it immediately connected the love of play that dogs have, and their readiness to take it up whenever we want ... they will be there!

Really, I'm feeling a playfulness today!

Here Peanuts ... let's go!
