00:00:00.102 --> 00:00:03.072
It seems we have a theme for 2024.

00:00:03.342 --> 00:00:07.092
In the five of wands because the five of wands came back.

00:00:07.123 --> 00:00:11.682
We had this card in March and we now have it again in June.

00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:14.259
last month we were working with the hermit.

00:00:14.529 --> 00:00:17.800
We were working with remembering who we are.

00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:22.629
To know who we are fully and present that out into the world.

00:00:22.750 --> 00:00:25.260
The energies for June.

00:00:25.829 --> 00:00:29.660
Our back to that, scatteredness lack of focused.

00:00:29.806 --> 00:00:32.777
Which is a possibility it's all morning.

00:00:32.777 --> 00:00:34.866
Hey, make sure you're focusing.

00:00:35.396 --> 00:00:38.033
So that you keep everything.

00:00:38.289 --> 00:00:40.990
In alignment with who you really are.

00:00:41.429 --> 00:00:45.090
As always I'm reading from the wild, unknown taro.

00:00:45.869 --> 00:00:53.280
Bye Kim Kranz and the five of ones we're going to review this again is scattered lack of focus, lost.

00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:56.729
The five of wands is a card of conflict.

00:00:56.969 --> 00:01:01.170
You may find yourself scattered, distracted, tending to everything and nothing.

00:01:01.649 --> 00:01:10.200
Since wants deal with our dreams and goals, it usually means this conflict resides within your energy moves, outward in many directions.

00:01:10.230 --> 00:01:11.879
Yet you are suffering inside.

00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:16.530
Take this card as a warning, find ways to bring calm and focus to your mind.

00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:18.569
Or these troubles will only increase.

00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:24.480
Mid-summer is a time where there is a lot of energy moving.

00:01:24.716 --> 00:01:30.956
In all directions in all places, it seems like we're pulled to grad parties over here, weddings over there.

00:01:31.346 --> 00:01:35.637
Family reunions, friends gathering together, going out to the lake.

00:01:35.906 --> 00:01:39.296
There are so many different things that happen in the summer because.

00:01:39.709 --> 00:01:40.670
It's warm enough.

00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.319
The sun is out sometimes.

00:01:43.647 --> 00:01:46.316
And there's more light in the Northern hemisphere.

00:01:46.527 --> 00:01:46.947
So.

00:01:47.112 --> 00:01:49.933
It is very easy to get pulled away from.

00:01:50.623 --> 00:01:58.063
What we really need to be focusing on for our own inner growth and development, our own inner peace.

00:01:58.609 --> 00:01:59.180
If we could.

00:01:59.382 --> 00:02:06.492
Focus, maybe more on inner peace than in our development, we would develop, but in a way that.

00:02:07.123 --> 00:02:11.893
Actually fulfills us rather than makes this feel like, well, I'm being productive today.

00:02:12.372 --> 00:02:13.693
And I still feel empty.

00:02:14.052 --> 00:02:16.092
I think a lot of people.

00:02:16.543 --> 00:02:20.082
Try, try, try so hard to do so many things.

00:02:20.862 --> 00:02:21.432
Yeah.

00:02:21.629 --> 00:02:24.736
We end up feeling like we've done nothing.

00:02:25.306 --> 00:02:28.817
And this card this month, it's a reminder to.

00:02:29.447 --> 00:02:31.967
Bring it back to your breath.

00:02:32.447 --> 00:02:34.847
Bring it back to your present moment.

00:02:35.806 --> 00:02:37.157
I'm thinking of that.

00:02:37.287 --> 00:02:41.757
Little story about the Zen master who's asked how are you, so.

00:02:42.477 --> 00:02:44.426
Calm and centered and enlightened.

00:02:44.456 --> 00:02:46.917
And his response was.

00:02:47.306 --> 00:02:48.507
When I am walking.

00:02:48.986 --> 00:02:49.887
I am walking.

00:02:50.637 --> 00:02:51.747
When I'm eating.

00:02:52.317 --> 00:02:53.187
I am eating.

00:02:53.703 --> 00:02:55.022
When I am sleeping.

00:02:55.082 --> 00:02:56.133
I am sleeping.

00:02:56.993 --> 00:03:01.734
You get the point when I am doing something that is what I'm doing.

00:03:01.734 --> 00:03:05.454
And that means that is exactly what I am focused on.

00:03:05.813 --> 00:03:09.550
I've learned to bring this into my life in the way of.

00:03:09.937 --> 00:03:11.768
When I am somewhere.

00:03:12.788 --> 00:03:14.948
That is the place I want to be.

00:03:15.992 --> 00:03:16.652
Work.

00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:19.600
Most people go to work.

00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:21.670
Waiting for it to be over.

00:03:22.602 --> 00:03:26.442
I choose every moment of my life to be where I am.

00:03:27.162 --> 00:03:28.572
So when I go to work.

00:03:29.201 --> 00:03:31.632
I am focusing my energy.

00:03:31.632 --> 00:03:32.651
My thoughts.

00:03:32.830 --> 00:03:34.330
Myself on.

00:03:34.737 --> 00:03:39.330
Being at work and doing work to the best of my ability.

00:03:39.932 --> 00:03:41.943
And it baffles people.

00:03:42.212 --> 00:03:44.342
How I keep my spirits up.

00:03:44.707 --> 00:03:47.828
I say it's because I don't want to be anywhere else.

00:03:48.307 --> 00:03:49.867
Right now, this is where I am.

00:03:50.281 --> 00:03:51.390
This is where I want to be.

00:03:51.691 --> 00:03:56.640
This is a really challenging concept, I think, to grasp and to embody and to live.

00:03:57.450 --> 00:03:58.980
It's taken me many years.

00:03:59.512 --> 00:04:02.241
And a lot of fights with FOMO.

00:04:03.891 --> 00:04:07.633
I just realized like, No I'm missing out.

00:04:08.264 --> 00:04:10.123
On my life.

00:04:10.634 --> 00:04:14.625
When I'm in that experience of FOMO about something I'm not doing.

00:04:15.645 --> 00:04:17.355
That means I'm not present.

00:04:18.045 --> 00:04:19.334
To what I am doing.

00:04:19.814 --> 00:04:20.654
Right now.

00:04:21.266 --> 00:04:22.766
It cured my FOMO.

00:04:23.456 --> 00:04:25.915
Oh, you got to go see the full solar eclipse.

00:04:25.915 --> 00:04:26.786
That is amazing.

00:04:26.786 --> 00:04:27.596
Tell me about it.

00:04:27.596 --> 00:04:31.706
And then, you know what happened because I was there with that person when they were explaining it.

00:04:32.485 --> 00:04:33.805
I got to experience it.

00:04:34.259 --> 00:04:35.428
Just like I was there.

00:04:35.699 --> 00:04:37.678
Um, almost just like I was there.

00:04:38.937 --> 00:04:39.327
It.

00:04:39.504 --> 00:04:40.764
Is an art.

00:04:41.153 --> 00:04:42.204
It is a science.

00:04:42.264 --> 00:04:43.913
It is a practice to be.

00:04:44.454 --> 00:04:45.353
Focused.

00:04:45.814 --> 00:04:47.223
Exactly where you are.

00:04:47.548 --> 00:04:49.468
How do we practice this?

00:04:50.009 --> 00:04:50.790
Awareness.

00:04:51.389 --> 00:04:52.980
But how do we practice awareness?

00:04:53.524 --> 00:04:55.774
For me, the best thing is meditation.

00:04:56.375 --> 00:05:05.254
Meditation, whether it's moving meditation, whether it's silent meditation, whether it's a breathing meditation, whether it's active meditation, like Kundalini yoga.

00:05:05.754 --> 00:05:06.985
Do something.

00:05:07.389 --> 00:05:11.889
With the intention and that holds within it, the intention.

00:05:12.369 --> 00:05:15.728
Of bringing yourself back to the present moment.

00:05:16.221 --> 00:05:17.901
Knowing that you're going to get polled.

00:05:18.531 --> 00:05:20.360
Knowing that your minds are going to wander off.

00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:28.911
And so the people that you met the other day and the dinner that you want to have, or the party you're throwing next week, whatever.

00:05:29.091 --> 00:05:29.511
Yes.

00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:32.331
You're going to get pulled away and scattered, but bring it back.

00:05:32.331 --> 00:05:33.440
So practice.

00:05:33.771 --> 00:05:36.620
Coming back to this moment through.

00:05:37.161 --> 00:05:38.211
A practice.

00:05:38.870 --> 00:05:40.821
That holds within it, that intention.

00:05:42.050 --> 00:05:45.141
I would love to hear what your practices for this.

00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.630
You can reach me at Laura Christine dot.

00:05:47.750 --> 00:05:48.201
Us.

00:05:48.630 --> 00:05:57.271
I know I didn't go over last month's card this time, but you are more than welcome to go back and listen to that episode to get the energies.

00:05:57.961 --> 00:06:06.721
Of, I think it was the hermit and find out how you did re kind of re-evaluate reflect.

00:06:07.471 --> 00:06:08.730
And let's move forward.

00:06:09.331 --> 00:06:10.560
In focus.

00:06:10.980 --> 00:06:11.581
From here.

00:06:12.511 --> 00:06:16.620
Until next time I'm sending all the love and then some more we'll talk.

00:06:16.651 --> 00:06:16.951
As soon.
