Hi, Gemini fellows... So, our group seems to be the "busiest one", we are six for now, the three of us plus our "alter ego-s"
No wonder we all feel special connection with Undressing of a Salad, it's so... so Gemini lol
I must confess i "sinned", it was the new year by Jewish calendar so i skipped the work out and the studyng and i ate too much kugel and challah
The good side is that i don't feel as guilty as usual, i put the UoaS in a beautiful silver frame in the central place of the living room, started the Atkins induction fase this morning and i am going to do the work out as soon as i finish this post. I feel the faeries are helping me to get back on my feet after i've stumbled
The energy that i feel from the card is soothing, calming and it does make me less hyper-active. And yes, i do feel less stressed
Btw, does the blue fae in the front reminds you of the guy in the RWS two of pentacles? Today, i am drawn to him and mostly to his wings - as though they are telling me - even if sometimes you have to do many thing simultaneosly - it can be done in the elegant, faery way, you know what i mean
My other oracles and Tarots are "sending" me messages that are in sync with the UoaS message and they are telling me to pay attention to my body and diet as well as to slow down. I noticed that all the faeries on the card have their eyes closed or semi-closed, as if they are dreaming awake - for me it's a sign to pay attention to my dreams, to journal them at least.
One more observation - the number of the UoaS-31-summed up gives four - the number of stability and "grounding".
...and a little bit of the home work
"Some small Questions and starting points that might set you to thinking on what to work on." (originally posted by Kahlie)
* What fear is in your way?
Well, mostly fear of failure, than fear from aging; fear of social inadeqacy; fear that i'll stay single for ever, fears related to health and looks (weight mostly)
* Are you making your life busy so that at the end of the day you did not fulfill the things you want most to do?
Mostly not, basically i arranged my life so that i have enough time for the thinghs i like doing the most; what i have to change in my thinking patterns - that doing what i do like includes a lot of sacrifising and poor income. I think i have it deeply set in my mind somewhere that one should be actually doing things he/she doesn't like in order to be materially prosperous.
* What do you do to distract yourself?
i'll have to think on this one more
* What do you do to diminish yourself?
again, this question goes to my journal for "further contemplation"
* What happens when you set goals on specific dates/times?
Mostly i make it, especially if the goals are related to my job or spirituality; i am less prompt for my excersise program and some paper work that i tend to procrastinate forever
* What past events are making you cringe or shy away?
I did so many clearing sessions, regressions and other techniques that i am mostly ok with my past, not that i am proud of many stupidities i did, but i learned to live with them and... they made me who i am; they say the seed of wisdom is in foolishness
* What criticism do you take to heart from yourself or others?
Well, i take any brutal and not-loving criticism very personal, i am critising and beating up myself all the time so if i feel someone else is judging me without real understanding and care - i react badly. I don't like so-called brutal honesty... i mean, i have my oracles, Tarot and Yi Jing for that
I broke one friendship recently cause i felt , under the veil of friendly critism, the guy was actually putting me down and manipulating me. I had an issue with this one, i mean everybody "normal" likes when true friends are pointing out the qualities they can improve or the blind spots we are not aware of - that's what friends are for, but when you have an "energetic vampire" who is draining you claiming it to be for your own good - it's all other thing
Kahlie and Geministar, i am so happy for the insights you had and the progress you made so far
I feel great support from you and i am really happy that we are doing this work... and that we are doing it together
I am looking forward to hear your new UoaS experiences
Love&Light
