Divination Offering

[open_space]

And here is another one. If you have a question, I'll be happy to use geomancy or the tarot about it. That said, keep in mind that divination is like weather forecasting, not a tablet of truth handed down from above, so take the advice I give you through the reading as such. The conditions that divination taps into are also in constant flux, the same as atmospheric pressure and the Moon.

Instructions Please leave your question stated below with a little bit of background about your situation. I would appreciate very much if you replied back to it so that we can both work towards making it useful for you and also for me to refine my divining skills. If you want to know how your week or month or the likes is going to look like or you want to gain insight into a situation, I'll be happy to assist you.

Please note Be sure to ask questions to which you want to know the answer. Also, divination doesn't always tell you about things you already know about, actually, it almost never does! My suggestion is that you question yourself, especially on things that make you think or flinch if any, and consider the points mentioned from a stance of possibility not of confirmation bias or it's diametrical opposite, falsification bias. Any actions taken from the information of the readings are entirely the responsibility of the querent and do not replace nor pretend to be professional legal, medical or psychological counseling.

Hi open space,

Thanks for offering this service! I'd like to ask about my general challenges with energy levels and how I can overcome those challenges to continue on my chosen spiritual path. As background, I had some health issues in the past and also seem to be very sensitive to seasonal energy flows--I can accomplish a ton in the lighter half of the year but much less in the darker/colder half. Based on divination, my own and from multiple people in this community, I am pursuing an intensive nei gong program that starts with physicality or material plane work. Not a strong suite of mine, but probably why it's a good idea to stretch myself and grow! I'd appreciate insight into why I am struggling to advance in the program and ways to get past those barriers.

Thanks!

Thanks for your question! I will get to it shortly

What exactly is what you find that is making you struggle? Study course, determination, enthusiasm?

[lp9]

I waver back and forth between it being a determination/willpower issue (maybe I'm just lazy?) or a true reflection of low energy to push forward (I have some lingering health issues, a pretty intense full-time job, and am a mom/wife/homemaker for my husband and two teenagers). If it's the former, I just need a kick in the rear; if it's the latter then maybe some guidance on how I can make it all work--or if I just need to be ok with moving very slowly through the program.

perfect, that makes it clear for me. I'll cast a divination and share it with you.

Thanks for your patience. I did a spread based on Strenght with the cards being: 1 - how are you strong - X of Swords Reversed 2 - how are you weak - The Lovers Reversed 3 - when do you need to be strong - Strength 4 - when do you need to be weak - V of Swords 5 - What strengthens you - The World 6 - What weakens you - VII of Wands 7 - Why are you struggling to advance - IV of Wands Reversed 8 - What do you need to advance - V of Wands 9 - What is the outcome of you apply it - Two of Wands

The way I am interpreting the cards is that you have already the insight into looking that you need to do something for your situation and healing. That is good but it seems to me that you might be getting frustrated with the goal itself. To get past those barriers my Tarot is making an emphasis in organization, but not a maddening one but one that tames. Just as the women is taming the lion, she is not closing the lion's mouth shut with force but rather she has tamed the lion with a gentle touch. If it's the case that you are putting too much energy into many things, then my Tarot suggests that the way to solve it is to give each task it's proper time and place to finish it, without creating anxiety or the likes for the others. Say, if you don't have the time to put into you nei gong practice because you have house work to do, then don't become preoccupied with that but rather recognize and accept that's the case and see how much time you can actually put into you practice comfortably. Basically, given the VII and V of wands, it seems to me the energy is there, it is just that it is being wasted as friction. If you are the kind that is too hard on themselves as most of us are, then put yourself attainable goals that you can congratulate yourself for in order to start getting the sense of success.

Does this help?

[lp9]

Thank you! Yes, this is really helpful. I think just this past week I started to organize my time better related to my practice and how/where to focus a bit better--acknowledging that it might be slow going but that's ok at this point. Good to hear that the energy is there and that is not the problem!

[open_space]

Glad to hear it! It seems that it is more a matter of friction more than anything else :-) Strength coming in the position of when do you need to be strong was also particularly telling for me.
