It seems the past week had two reactions...That it was the best week and everything came through, or it was the worst EVER. So, I feel like this weeks reading should focus on balance as our theme. I choose the Secret Language of Colour deck as a way we can integrate color to help us in our everyday lives. I don't know about you, but I'm a very visual person. If I have a color to wear, it's going to remind me of the messages I received and what I need to do. This is my hope for you. I hope that you remember the messages that came through today and that they help you move towards your goals. On to the good stuff!  The beginning of the week asks that you overcome your challenges. The color purple is deeply spiritual and has been used as a sign of royalty for ages. It's personally my favorite color It seems that there are still a couple of challenges that are nipping at your heels, so this card serves as a reminder that you must face what you've been avoiding so you can work through it. I also feel that these issues are something that's been recurring or something you thought was put to rest or resolved in your mind. Every now and then, even if you think you've worked wholly through an issue, there could have been missing information or something you just missed that must resurface so you can finally resolve it. Don't get discouraged. Yes, no one likes to rehash old business, but this must be done so the problem doesn't repeat itself. Ask yourself... would you rather fix a facet of an issue, or go through the whole situation again? It's up to you, but I think you may want option A. The Plum card goes on to say that plum is a color of devotion, dedication and commitment. It allows you to connect to your heart and discover your life purpose. This color helps you to create deep bonds in friendships and relationships. It also assists you to stay strong through hardships and difficult situations. Plum is a color of deep inner strength and faith. Use plum rays to overcome challenges and discover your life purpose. Action Steps: To over come challenges you need to have deep inner strength and faith. If you are facing something difficult make sure you surround yourself with the plum color. Wear clothes, shoes or jewelry that are plum. Eat plums, paint with this color and visualize a ray of plum light moving you forward with ease and grace. Allow the richness of this color to soothe your heart and soul. Often, through your challenges you discover your life purpose. Ask yourself what is the gift of this challenging experience and allow insights to come into your mind. Say: "Divine Spirit, please use the plum ray to guide me through any challenges I may experience with ease, grace and softness."  The middle of the week wants you to allow flow and synchronicity into your life again. You only seem to pull this card when you're trying too hard to control everything, so take a deep breath, step back, and ask for some help. Or better yet, just release the whole situation to your angels, guides, God, loved ones, or your cats. It doesn't matter who you release it to, as long you let the reigns go. This is about letting the magic or mystery back into your life. You don't need to know every step of what's going to happen, and squeezing the life out of the situation isn't going to help. Do yourself a favor and give yourself a much needed break. I also feel like someone or some situation just broke your heart (In a manner of speaking). I'm not sure what happened, but I know it wasn't pretty. Even if this happened a while ago, it's been on your mind. Let the person or situation go. The harder you hold on, the more it will slip through your fingers. So give the pain, hurt, anxiety, worry, and tears up. It's ok to let this go because the Universe will turn it into something good for you. Letting go is the only way it can be changed into something better. Have the patience and faith to see that promise through. The Coral card goes on to say that coral assists with restoring physical vitality. It is a great grounding color and is helpful with releasing stress, worry and anxiety. Coral allows you to see things from different points of view and to heal a broken heart and unrequited love. It also helps t bring synchronicity and ease into your life. Action Steps: Visualize coral rays shining out of your heart and allowing more flow and synchronicity into your life. Then imagine a coral road that leads you on the right path. See or sense yourself stepping on this path and connecting to the vibration of synchronicity. In this vibration things happen easily in synchronicity ways. Breathe that vibration into yourself. Give yourself permission to follow the coral path towards your life purpose. Say: "My life is easy and full of synchronicity. I follow the most Divine path for me." Now observe synchronicity all around you. Any time you have to make a new decision and need some extra help, visualize stepping on the coral path.  The end of the week wants to speak about having fun with your inner child. We drew a similar card like this last week, so continue the work you've been doing, it's paying off. This again can also stand for spending more time with your own children and having fun with them. Or, this could be a sign that your work with children is supported, and it's time to have fun in your job. It's a serious task, but it's time to loosen up a bit. There's also a lonely feeling to this card, so if you've been feeling lonely lately, call on your friends or your loved ones. It's so important to take time for yourself, but don't over do it. So this is also a call for balance. It's time to go out and have some fun! The Watermelon card goes on to say that watermelon is a color of softness, gentleness and compassion. It encourages affection, self-acceptance and kindness. Watermelon is fun and can allow your inner child to surface. It assists people who suffer from low self-esteem, loneliness and sadness. Watermelon also encourages generosity, healing and understanding. Allow watermelon rays to awaken your fun, joyous, playful nature. Action Steps: It's time to nourish and nurture your inner child. What fun, exciting things can you do today that would make you laugh and enjoy yourself? Your inner child needs to have fun, joy and play to feel healthy. Close your eyes and visualize yourself as a small child. Ask this small child, "What would be fun for you to do today?" The child may say, "I want to go out and throw a ball in the park." It may want to play a game, eat ice cream or buy a toy. Listen and follow. Before you go to sleep, visualize this child surrounded in a soft watermelon color as it rests peacefully. Say: "Divine Intelligence, please assist me to connect to my fun, easygoing, enthusiastic nature, so that I can spread joy and laughter wherever I go." As we bring our world back into balance this week, there are a few things for you to remember. First, overcome the challenges that continue to hinder your progress. It's time to face what keeps coming back up and let it know who's boss. You can handle it. Second, allow flow and synchronicity back into your life. When you hold on too tight to a person or situation, it's not healthy. Let it go. The Universe knows better what to do with your situation than you do at this point. Have faith that everything will work out. Finally, allow your inner child to have some fun! Be gentle with yourself about everything going on lately. Heavy emotional burdens can take a toll, so get out there and release the negativity through play and laughter. You are a beautiful light in this world, so shine, shine, shine this week!   If you'd like a more in-depth, personal reading, please go to www.MiraInvenietis.etsy.com
