Birthing A Miracle

So many of you have been writing to ask me if I do phone readings using the Intuition Heart Cards?

The answer is YES! I love helping YOU tune into YOUR own intuition. I have a passion for helping YOU learn how to use the cards so that you can ultimately work with them independently, as a tool to activate your own inner wisdom. (CLICK HERE for more information about Intuitive Coaching Sessions with the Intuition Heart Cards )

Did you know that using images to activate your intuition is EXTREMELY potent! As a matter of fact, if you ask almost any psychic or healer, they will tell you that much of the information they receive comes through imagery.

During a counseling session with a client, I will often receive an image of a particular issue or dynamic in that person's life. When I relate this image and we 'work' through it together, it will often hold the key to meaningful and cathartic "work".

When my clients receive a meaningful image through a dream or by using the cards, this will tend to open them up to a depth that is unavailable by processing through the intellect alone.

Images are the language of our soul, so when we learn to work with images, they can connect us with the deepest layers of our Self and jumpstart a process of authentic introspection and movement towards genuine inner clarity.

To celebrate my passion for working with images , I would like to share with you an excerpt from the Intuition Heart Cards Guideboook, an interactive tool (with guidebook of course) I designed to help you tune into your own inner wisdom. ENJOY!


I am birthing a miracle in my life.

co-creation ♥ fusion ♥ union ♥ new entity ♥ birthing ♥ a newborn baby ♥ marriage ♥ partnership ♥ new enterprise ♥ life force ♥ synergy ♥ joint venture ♥ relationship ♥ labor pains ♥ merging ♥ new life

When you get this card in a reading you are ready to give birth to your creations. Creation, as symbolized by the small yellow heart born from the mergence of the two larger hearts, requires partnership. It is a co-creative process. Whether you have partnered up with another person, a group of people, a business, or divine source, the dream or vision you have patiently cultivated is ready to spring forth into your reality. This is a time to celebrate the efforts you have made tending to your dreams, building up their strength and preparing them to birth themselves into your reality. This card cautions you not to give up on your dream a moment before it manifests in your life. You are reminded of both the joys and pains that accompany the birthing process. You may be experiencing the labor pains that precede the birth of a 'newborn'. Your creation, project or venture may require a few final pushes, a few last efforts, to aid it into the light of day. There is no going back now. Your “baby” is ready to be born. By embracing the paradoxical nature of the birthing process, you will be able to move through it with more acceptance and serenity. Congratulations! You are about to become the proud parent of your own co-creation.

This Being Human is a Guest House

Dear Tal,
Thank you for sending me all the inspiring information. I am 56 year male in good health. Recently I have discovered so called eye floaters in my eyes (a few) - they are little tiny translucent floating threads or strands that get in the line of my vision. I have seen a number of eye doctors and was told that it is all normal for my age-not much consolation there. I wonder if I use mind powers with affirmations to make them go away, do you think this might work? I was advised not to focus on them when I see them but this ego mind within me can get stubborn and usually will complain that the floaters shouldn't be there in the first place. I'd appreciate your comments on the above.
With regards,
Larry

Dear Larry,

Thank you for writing me.

Firstly, let me say that the use of affirmations or visualizations, or any tool we use to support our mind to focus on that which we desire, is an extremely potent practice. Our positive focus, when coupled with a matching feeling vibration, is very much like tuning our personal dial to the field of infinite potentiality or source - from which all consciousness and matter arises – from which non-local energy becomes localized or physical.

That said, although we are powerful CO-creators, we are not the ones who make things happen. Our ego is never really in charge of the show, although it usually likes to think it is.

We create with source (thereby co-creating) by ALLOWING ourselves to ALIGN with it, for it is from source that all consciousness and matter arises.

One of the most potent ways to align with source is to simply get out of our own way. There are many ways of doing this but I have found that any practice that allows you to quiet the incessant chatter of your mind will do the trick.

Find an activity in which you literally lose your ‘self’, or rather your ego ‘self’, for awhile. You may find that physical activity does the trick, or painting, or watching a sunset. These activities take us out of our normal ‘state of being’ and into a somewhat ‘altered’ state of experiencing ourselves and the world. Even daydreaming is a form of an altered state, or shall I say, an alternate state of being. When we immerse ourselves in a practice wherein we literally lose our ego ‘self’ , for that time, we actually allow ourselves to align with the flow of source.

That said, another universal principle is that “what we resist persists”.

So resisting the workings of our ego will not make those ‘egoic’ parts our consciousness go away either. I have found that the best way to dissipate resistance is to cultivate deep listening and curiosity.

From a soul or ‘source’ perspective, each part of our consciousness, including our physical symptoms, are always present for a reason. They have a message, a lesson, an experience, a healing to share with us.

It is thus an effective practice to dialogue with whatever symptoms show up in our lives, be they physical, emotional or otherwise.

Larry, I invite you to cultivate a practice of deeply listening to your current physical symptoms – to your floaters. I invite you to engage in an inner dialogue with them. Rather than trying to make them go away, invite them in for a conversation, as you would a friend you would like to get to know better.

Ask the “floaters” what they would like to share with you? Why they have come to visit you at this time? What is the best way for you to allow and integrate the message or lesson or healing they have come to impart to you? Also, it is ok for you to express your anger or any other feelings that may be present for you. In the same manner, allow the floaters to express their feelings “through you”.

A great way to engage this process is to write out your dialogue in a journal. Allow whatever comes through to come through. Do not judge or censor. Remember, no-one has to read your process except you. It is useful to set an intention to go to the deepest level of healing and clarity that is available for you at this time. You may need to do it in a few sittings.

Engage in this process for the sake of learning and growing. Let go of results. Your job is to fully show up for the process and to surrender any expectations or results to source.

A sample dialogue may read in your journal as follows (You may want to later highlight any epiphanies that come through during the process):

Larry: Floaters, I would like to get to know you better…..I am curious about why you have shown up in my life at this time?
Floaters: I am not sure I trust you enough to share – you have shunned me for so long.
Larry: I am so sorry. I did not know any better at the time. But now I do. I would so like to get to know you better and find out why you have shown up in my life right now?
Floaters: Ok – I guess I am willing to give it a try.
Larry: I am so glad you are. Would you be willing to tell me why you have come into my life right now?
Floaters: Yes – there is something I want you to see that you are not willing to look at or face right now.
Larry: And what might that be?
etc. etc………

Do you see how this may unfold?

I will end off with Rumi‘s poem, “The Guest House”, that so poignantly highlights and speaks to the valuable practice of remaining open and present to all parts of our ‘self’.

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

-- Jalaledin Rumi,

As always, sending you abundant blessings of much love and healing,

Warmly,

Tal

God Helps Those Who Help Themselves

Are you familiar with the idiom "God helps those who help themselves"? My own experience has shown me that it holds much truth.

When we begin taking action we create a magnetic field around ourselves that says “I mean 'business' and I am serious about moving forward with my goals and aspirations” . This creates an energetic opening for solutions to 'magically' appear out of no-where, which is simply another way of referring to the quantum field of infinite potentiality, where all possibilities lie.

The universe/spirit/infinite intelligence/God - whatever it is you call the source from which you derive your strength and guidance - MEETS US AT THE POINT OF ACTION.

Action is a potent way of setting an intention in motion.

Don't wait for your fears to go away before you take action.

Feel your fears and take action anyway!

Imagine holding your fears, like a little child, by their hand. Tell them you appreciate and honor them while at the same time let them know that you are the adult and that you will be taking the lead from now on. Like children, our fears may get anxious, cry or throw a tantrum when faced with change or with anything that is unknown, Make that ok by acknowledging their feelings (ie. your anxiety) and then TAKE ACTION in the direction of your heartfelt goals and aspirations.

Sending you many blessings of much joy!

Tal

The Journey

As we are called forth to step into new terrain, both inner and outer, in our lives, we have no choice but to leave behind those parts of ourselves and our life that no longer serve who we are becoming. This process can be quite challenging and is often accompanied by a period of grieving for that which was familiar and comfortable. Like clothes that no longer fit and need to be replaced, life beckons us to let go of beliefs, attitudes, people, places, and things that no longer fit our emerging self. During these times, listening to our inner guidance can be that which saves us from drowning in our own resistance, grief and despair.

The following poem speaks to this process. It was written by one of my favorite poets, Mary Oliver, and although I have read it numerous times, it never ceases to touch the very depth of my soul.

THE JOURNEY by Mary Oliver

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and their was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do
determined to save
the only life you could save.

May your journey be blessed with the infinite guidance that resides within your own heart!

Love Heals

Healing is the application of loving to those places inside that hurt. It is when we hurt the most, when we are angry and defensive, that we most need the love we so often withhold from ourselves.

This is an exquisite video of the power of love to heal. Enjoy!
