This post is the seventh in a series that shares my Divine team talk (conversations with and insights from my Divine team) since March 2020. (In case you missed it, you can find the first here.)

This a.m.’s oracle was from the Lakota Sweat Lodge Cards: Tree of Life (acceptance)—all about recognizing and accepting one’s place in the universe, and also recognizing and accepting other people as they are, as part of the tree of life.
So today, I am to practice going with the flow, simply accepting who and where I am, and following the promptings of my guides. (This was what we decided as I considered the oracle’s message.)

Beginning to feel a bit more cheerful as I feel better [physically]. And walking outside has definitely helped, so it’s easier to accept that I don’t know my exact place in the world. I listened to an episode of Slade’s podcast in which he talks about how we influence the world—by living a life that makes us happy. I cried at that because I’d forgotten. I’d forgotten that my biggest effect on the world may be made by simply showing others how I live.[1]

Before falling asleep a few nights ago, I requested assistance from Spirit in discovering/uncovering a trait that I would be best served by addressing and releasing. The trait was looking for/wanting approval from others. This leads to significant stress for me when, for example, I’m dealing with unhappy [publishing client] authors. Of course, I can always do my best to improve their situation, but working for their approval is not the best goal; working toward an as equitable and fair solution (with integrity) as possible [is].
I’m still working on this idea—and still trying to decide whether I should simply break from [publishing client] completely, letting go of any expectation of getting the money [the company] owes me.
Monday 4 May 2020
It occurred to me while running energy[2] this a.m. that somewhere out there, in an “alternate” reality, there’s a me who didn’t lose so much of her sight, because she learned her important spiritual lessons without needing to become the recluse. I wonder what that version of me is like—if she’s happy, if she has children, if she has the money struggles that I perceive myself as having.
Of course, in [still] other realities, I have probably died, at different times in each … one after the first miscarriage, and probably at least one at [my son’s] birth. The possible variations actually boggle my mind, now that I think of all the potential key/turning points in my life.

The past life draw I did is in a circle, what the book calls a mandala, and each position has further significance with each card, an astrological tie-in. …
Today, [I am] looking at the Sun position, which “represents your essence and … impulses. … Shows how you are perceived by others [and] indicates what type of energy your ‘outward’ personality generates and indicates your physical stamina and strength.”
[The card in this position for me indicates:]
You are probably giving too much. Although it is admirable to serve others, you are losing the respect of your peers[3] and attracting only those who are emotionally crippled. Your selfless, compassionate nature attracts selfish dependents. In this situation, neither you nor they can truly grow. Dependent people hold you back and forfeit their ability to advance without your wisdom and help. True progress cannot be made under such self-deprecating circumstances. Learn to hold on to yourself and lend a firm hand from a distance.
I kept thinking of [publishing client] as I wrote that. Of course, I want to be done there. But I feel as though I need the “steady” income it provides. I need to stop kidding myself, though, because my pay has been unreliable for years now. I’m kind of in a “devil you know” situation. I’ve created plans for how to get out of this situation; now I simply need to follow the plan.

Notes
[1] In one meditation in the autumn of 2020, my guides told me that my purpose in life was simply to live life, to be me. At that time, I reasoned much as I did in this journal entry that perhaps my life was to be an example for others. Recently (May and June 2021), however, I’ve been reading some books by Dolores Cannon and learning that some people are on Earth at this time simply to hold a certain energetic vibration. This energy affects the energy of others with whom we interact and also helps the energies of the places we move through and inhabit. Many such people also consciously practice energetic healing—and feel frustrated that their purpose isn’t to do anything but simply to be. Learning this truth has had a profound impact on me.
[2] I mention this practice often and try to do it for a minimum of 10 minutes every day. This is a technique I learned several years ago from the Unlock Your Intuition meditation from Patricia Missakian. In this practice (which I have modified a bit from the original to work with the understanding and guidance I’ve received from my Divine Team), I open my root chakra wide and extend a large grounding cord to the center of the earth. Then I open my feet chakras to take in energy from the earth. This energy runs up through the outer energy channels of the legs and into the first chakra, clearing away stuck and stagnant energy—energy that no longer serves me—which then goes down the ground cord to be recycled at what I call the crucible at the center of the earth. Then I open my crown chakra to the energy from the center of the Multiverse, and I draw that energy in and down through all of my chakras.
This energy mixes with the Earth energy in my root chakra, then the combined (Heaven-on-Earth) energy (1) rises up through my chakras and out of my crown to bless the Multiverse, (2) flows up to my shoulders and then down and out through my hands to bless me and all that I touch, (3) flows down through the energy channels on the inside of the legs and through my feet chakras to bless the earth, and (4) flows down through the root to the crucible at the center of the earth, carrying with it any further stuck/stagnant energies.
This is an excellent way to prepare yourself for the day, and also a wonderful tool to use before bed to clear away any “negative” energies you may have accumulated during the day. It is especially important to me, as I have come to understand that part of my purpose is to be a bridge to bring higher-vibrational energy to Earth, help Earth transmute lower-vibrational energies for the benefit of everyone and everything on the planet, and keep my own energy field as clear and high-vibrational as possible to allow for more effective healing of myself and others.
[3] For clarification: peers was the term used in the card description, but with the other information that flows in from the Universe when I do a reading, I understood the term to mean certain difficult clients. It certainly didn’t refer to everyone I encountered but to those select few who just seemed to make my job harder and who really dragged down my energy levels.
