42. Weeds

Finding and healing nuisances, dealing with problems

Neglecting to address the weeds within will prevent you from abundantly receiving.

Weeds can be such a nuisance in a garden, spreading like, well, weeds and choking the life out of your otherwise healthy plants. Wounds and blocks that are left ignored are a lot like weeds, only they spread through your spirit. They expand, reseeding themselves and filling up every space of your being until it becomes such a problem that you have no choice but to address it. It may seem sudden and unexpected, but these spiritual invaders have been growing just below the surface for some time.

Your ancestors and guides have drawn this card to you and are asking you to begin the process of healing what you have not wanted to confront. There are old traumas, blocks and hurts that are festering within and preventing you from experiencing love, abundance, freedom, growth, success, joy and all other high-vibrational feelings you had hoped to achieve. You are spending too much time focusing on what you would like to call into existence while ignoring the nuisance of the blocks that are preventing you from receiving your desired manifestations. Therefore, the answer to your question isn't "No" but is rather "Not right now." There is still much work to be done before you have the space to plant a successful garden.

As you face the hidden things within, let this spell be your guide as you journey. Imagine a wall blocking any fear or doubts that hold you back from being your true self. Focus on the wall, picturing it growing stronger and taller with each passing moment until it becomes an impenetrable fortress that protects you and keeps out any negative influences. Say these words aloud to give you strength: "I am strong enough to conquer my fears. I trust myself and know I can make a change for the better. I am capable of facing what is hidden within."

Allow yourself to relax into the moment, letting go of any thoughts or worries that may be swirling around in your mind. Focus instead on feeling the sensations in your body as you inhale and exhale deeply from your belly. Be open to whatever arises during this inner journey, whether it’s an emotion, image or thought. Simply witness it without judgment or expectation as it moves through you. Concentrate on the stillness inside you, feeling how peaceful and tranquil it is here for you. Allow yourself to receive the nourishment this inner space has to offer. When you are in this state start to travel slowly through your inner world and welcome what wants to be seen, because what has been hidden yearns for acknowledgement. Take your time with each thing that appears and do as many as you feel comfortable with. Once you have acknowledged them, make sure to embrace them with the peaceful energy you are present in and tell them they can now go. When you’re ready, take a few more deep breaths before slowly opening your eyes and returning to the present moment.
