You may not want to hear this but…

April’s oracle message is about learning to open your mind and heart to the things you want to avoid.

I have gotten this message for a while to share with you, one that can be classed as "tough love". Over the years in my work, I have seen how peoples energy shuts off when they hear, see or read something that which makes them have to do the work, for example how many helpful journaling prompts have you seen online which could help you so much with self-awareness or to move you forward in life but you don't take the time to sit and dive deep within your mind to explore the question? so you avoid and ignore them and wonder why your constantly feel stuck or that life doesn't change.

There will be many times throughout life that you will hear or read something that you don't want to face, In this message I am speaking mostly about taking responsibility for your own healing, growth and change. Sometimes you need to hear the things that you don't want to hear, knowing that the words are not out to attack you but are there to open your mind to curiosity, to push you out of your comfort zone to grow.

Over-thinkers think too much, and need to feel more, but the majority of the world doesn't even think for themselves, they have no self-awareness and are self-disconnected which can be what is stopping them. Some just don't want to do the work, to look at themselves, the pain and hurt, asking themselves why they are the way they are. Some simply aren’t ready to face things, some are just on a different frequency, in a different season of their life. Some don't want to take responsibility for their healing, emotions and actions. Some don't want to change, or know how to change and many will see words that trigger them as a form of a personal attack -instead of an opportunity to explore, heal and grow.

The first card is showing me that you may have built walls around you when it comes to shutting out what you may deem as harsh truths or words of advice, for whatever reason you do not want to know, don't want to listen or open your mind to the questions put before you. Life is here to guide you home to yourself, like the swirls on the stones but you can only do that if you expand your mind and heart. The Key on her chest is a sign to open up, to not be so closed off to learning and discovering life and yourself. It is time open to curiosity.

Live the question card is reminding you to open to all possibilities and lean into your triggers and why you don't want to explore certain things, questions and even words of advice. Why do you close your mind? your heart? to things that make you feel uncomfortable? because it is in that discomfort is something you need to face, you need to question, need to go within and actually do the work to break yourself free. This is where many go back into the cave of card 1- hiding from the truth, the healing, the light. It is where they feel safe, playing the victim or are not wanting to think, change and do the work to break themselves free. Change begins with your choice of choosing to be open, to be curious to ask yourself constantly why? how? To move forward in life allow your life to be full of questions to explore in a childlike wonder.

You are an alchemist, you have the ability to turn pain into power, wounds into wisdom, thoughts into action. Dreams into reality, life is a journey of self-connection, self-discovery, self-empowerment. The third card is showing me this- that when you choose to come out of the cave of your mind, when you choose to open yourself up to curiosity, to do the work you can find freedom, movement in life. You can flow and are connected to your emotions and your higher self, you learn that thoughts, feelings and triggers are messengers there to not annoy you but as opportunities to go within, to think, to open up to self reflection and self exploration, and expression. The blue symbolises the throat chakra showing me you need to freely communicate and be honest with yourself to help you break free from limitations, past hurt and old beliefs that can keep you stuck from living the life you want.

Journaling Prompts to explore

• What things about myself am I avoiding to face?

• Am I open to curiosity of who I am to grow? If not, why?

• Am I wiling to do the work for growth? If not, why?

• Where am I not being truthful to myself?
