Episode 38 - "A Quiet Offering: Receive What is Meant for You"

Today's episode is something a little different. It was inspired by a simple moment during Easter Sunday; I was watching intention, presence, and love being offered, and it was confirmed that we all have access to that same energy.

So instead of just listening, this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and receive.

Find a quiet space.

Take a deep breath.

Allow yourself to be open.

No expectations.

No pressure.

Just presence.

All right, everyone. Welcome to episode thirty-eight, a quiet offering. Receive what is meant for you. I hope y'all are doing well this Monday morning. I um took a couple of weeks off. I uh had a great spring break. I hope y'all had a good time. I just honestly, the last two weeks, I just did not feel like doing an episode. So I guess I should have posted something, but I'm not gonna apologize. I I didn't want to force it. I didn't want to just, oh, let me do a card pull. No, I wasn't feeling it. So guess what? I didn't do it. But here I am. So I hope y'all are doing well this morning. Um let's see. Uh whether you're listening to this on a Monday morning or you're listening to it later in the week or next week or next month or even next year, heck. Hope y'all are doing absolutely well. So, so speaking of spring break, um, this episode it's about intention, presence, and energy directed with love. So, whether you call it prayer, intention, reiki, or just simply love, you know what the truth is? We folks, we are all capable of sending, offering, receiving love, receiving energy. So when I went, so I was in church on Easter Sunday, Nathan was playing, so I was I got the I had the privilege of um playing with the uh the brass. Now I'm not a brass instrument player, but I have what's called an aerophone made by Roland, not sponsored, but I was covering the French horn part until I got the opportunity to play with his fantastic students um on Easter. We just did uh just play with the choir, a few different songs. I got to singing with the choir. But I was sitting there on stage uh waiting for the next piece, the next song to play, and it was right after they were holding communion, and so the pastor, she was standing there, and so she had her hands. Like if those of you that go to church you've seen, you know what I'm talking about. They hold their hands over the like the the bread and the wine or juice, whatever, you know, whatever church you go to, whatever they're using. I think the Episcopalians use real wine. Let's go there. But she was sitting there and I said, Well, look at that. I said, She's sitting there hovering her hand over it. I said, She's doing Reiki. Doesn't even know it. But then I said, that's why I said, whether you call it Reiki or whatever. The fact of the matter is, she was setting her intentions, blessing the food, sending out the energy, blessing the wine, the juice. And so it was something familiar to me. And so it was an offering. It was an active offering. She was setting her intention, she was in the moment, sending out that energy just in the presence. And so I realized, you know, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, folks. Where who you are, what your traditions are, what your beliefs are. We folks are powerful. We are all capable of channeling that energy, setting that intention, sending out that healing, that that universal love. And that's what this episode is about. So I was, and I'm glad I took a couple of weeks off of it. Like I said, I just wasn't feeling it. I didn't, I just wasn't feeling it. I didn't want to do anything. And and when the time dried, I'm like, I'll jump back into it. And and I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I had the the picture made with Chat GPT. I told it what I wanted to do. I said, I want this next episode to be about setting the intentions, and I actually wanted to do a Reiki healing session. Now I'm not gonna do the whole Reiki session, like the whole 14 hand placements of healing. So I said, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna set my intentions, I'm gonna do a card pull, and I want this card pull to tie into the Reiki session. So when I get to the Reiki session, I'm gonna be using uh my pendulum. And I'm gonna once again I'm gonna be setting that intention. What listener or listeners right now, at this moment, what do they need to hear? What do they need to receive? Where does this energy need to go? So before I did the card pool, I set the intention of you know what? This card pool is gonna be for their emotional healing, or this will help them on where they where they are right now at this moment in their life, this journey. Uh, is it gonna help them out mentally, uh, emotionally, spiritually? And I wanted it to tie into the the physical healing or emotional healing when it comes to the Reiki part. So it's really cool how it turned out. But we'll we'll get there. So um, so I did the card pool and I use my to-go-to, which I love. One of my favorites is the Celtic Dragon Oracle deck, uh not Oracle deck, the uh Celtic Dragon Tarot deck. Now that's by uh DJ Conway and Lisa Hunt. And so the card was the number 18. Now that's the moon card, and that stands for dreams and intuition. Now the card was inverted, so I'll get into the uh inverted uh meaning in just uh just a little bit. So here we go. And if you look at the uh the picture there on um the uh Facebook, Lessons with Wesley Facebook or Instagram, you'll see the picture. It's just beautiful. So I'm gonna read what's in the book. A silvery white dragon is engaged in a celestial dance with a full moon behind her. Her sacred dance creates and raises energy and preparation for magic or manifestation. The dragon dances atop a tangle of roots and a barren landscape, symbolic of creating purpose out of chaos, reality out of illusion. Oh, yeah, we we we're in some chaos and illusions going on right now in the world. Yeah, and we definitely need to find some harmony because we are out of discord. However, the dragon's steps are precise, her knowledge vast. She has left nothing to chance, neither does she allow herself to be tricked by half-truths. If done without a clear, definite purpose, energy raised magically from the phases of the moon produces illusionary power, deceitful images, and daydreams fed by foundationless imagination. The tangles of past lives have wandered aimlessly in their restless search for gratification without long-term goals. They exist in a barren landscape devoid of color or life. To break the hold these lives exert upon the present, the magician must dance upon them until he or she sees only the truth behind each one. And the dark sky can be seen in ancient Celtic and pagan symbols. Oh, yeah, and the um shoot, Artemis, was that the name of Artemis II? That's pretty cool. That just happened. Got to fly around the moon and uh get some other pictures, so that's pretty awesome that this came up. And so the divinatory meaning, dreams, intuition, you know, you might now be entering more of a uh intuitive psychic phase in your life, might be coming unexpectedly, or maybe, you know, you've been trying to reach out and tap into that. Uh, this is a time when you act on impulse without thinking things through. Um, people who deal in illusion are drawn into your circle, secret enemies might be at work. Um, you might have some negative thinking that might be getting in the way of your progress. Uh you might be feeling victimized, uh, just and deceptions might be used against you. And the um the right awake, I looked that up as well. And it too talks about being swept away. Um and the uh inverted uh talks about yes, things might seem confusing and uh uncertain, but don't force those things until the people or things are ready. Um you you might be into like it said, you might be entering more of a psychic intuitive phase. Even though things don't seem clear right now, you still need to trust yourself, trust your gut. That first impression, yeah, trust, yeah, definitely. It talks about trusting yourself and finding empathy with others and all you know creatures, and it also talks about you might seem a little uncomfortable, um, but realize no matter where you are, believe in yourself and feel that you wherever you are, that's where you belong. Feel like you're home, just be in the moment. So that that was pretty cool, and I love about how this uh card talked about these tanglement of roots, and then I'm said I was gonna tie that into uh wherever the pendulum went on this gingerbread outline that I'm of like a gingerbread man, that's what I've got in front of me, and that's why I'm gonna be using the pendulum, setting it, and wherever it goes, wherever I feel led, that's where I'm gonna focus. So, I mean, if it goes to like the head, I mean someone having a you know physical trauma or a headache going on, or do they feel tangled like these roots? And so I just love, I can't wait to see where it goes, and I love how this card just ties in, especially um, you know, the inverted. The inverted spirituality talks about um it might be time to seek some healing work. And I was like, oh man, that's perfect. And once again, things might not be as clear as you like them to be, but trust your gut, trust your instincts, and like that, like those roots that this dragon's standing on. Things might see all twisted up and tied in knots, but trust that it's going to work out. Um so don't just wait and say, oh well, I'll uh I'll I'll step out or take that plunge or take that job or I'll act when everything's clear. Nope. Don't do that. Go ahead and take that step, but just trust your gut and just trust, trust your instincts. Okay, so that is the card pool. So now what we are about to do is we are about to get into get into the moment, get into the the Reiki session and see where this pendulum, this instinct. Now, oh, do I have to use the pendulum? No, no, once again, it's just another a tool that I've I like to use to set my intention, just to help guide, you know, where I need to go and see and just see where it leads. Okay, everyone. Alright. So what I want you to do is I want you to relax, reflect, and and stay open. So if you're in a place where you can, where you can lie down, or if you want to, you know, get comfortable, you have a comfortable chair, you want to, you know, sit up, just first. Um no, I don't guarantee any medical or like a guaranteed healing. I'm just gonna put that out there. But just be open to receiving what are you what are you hearing, what are you feeling, just like that card says, man, like that card says, trust your gut, trust your instinct, receive what speaks to you, and then just wipe away what doesn't. I mean that's it, it's that simple. It's that simple. So first just breathe in for four. Hold it and breathe out through your mouth for about six or eight seconds, breathe in again.

SPEAKER_01 13:38

Breathe out.

SPEAKER_00 13:42

Just close your eyes. If you got a certain stone or crystal or rock, whatever it is you like to hold, if you've got something near you, grab that, keep it with you. So I want you to visualize this beautiful white light, this silver light streaming down, going through your crown, going through your head, moving through your body, shooting out, going to all appendages, shooting down through your feet, shooting out of your feet and going down into Mother Earth and just grounding yourself and just opening up to that universal love. Let that universal energy, that Reiki flow. And that's the wonderful thing about Reiki. Reiki can do no harm. I might not know where it needs to go or what you're feeling or going through, but guess what? It does. And once again, receive what's meant for you. Release what is not. Alright, so I'm grabbing my pendulum now. I'm gonna set my intentions. I want this to go guide whomever's listening right now, whether it's on a Monday, whether it's literally the next day after, or whether it's the next one day this week, or next week, or month, or a few months from now, or next year in the quantum, what does this person what do they need to hear? What do they need to receive? Do they have a certain ailment going on right now? Okay, so what I did, it was moving towards the like the left area. It was I started off like in the middle of this, I'll just say gingerbread man, it was going towards the left. Um well to the right of the paper, that's the left side of the body where I have it marked. So it was going towards the bottom uh left of the gingerbread person towards the leg, and so it kind of hovered out and kind of stopped around the left leg. So that might be more the like the left knee or foot, but it went definitely towards the left, so that's where I'm gonna be sending that Reiki, that's where I'm gonna be sending that universal energy. But folks, just receive and believe what you're feeling, and if you have an ailment somewhere else, then just direct that focus where it needs to go because that's like I said, that's the wonderful thing about Reiki. I might not know it knows where to go. I'm just the vessel being used. So now I'm just focusing my hands over that area. You might feel a little heat, you might feel a little tingle, you might not feel anything, and that's fine.

SPEAKER_01 21:21

Back to your senses, back into yourself. Just wiggle those toes, toes, fingers. Perceive what you connect to, wipe away what you don't.

SPEAKER_00 21:50

Thank you for this opportunity allowing me to sin, have this wonderful little Reiki time. So, folks, the moon does not need to be fooled to guide the night, and neither do you. Trust what you feel and let it lead you forward. Know that these roots in your life things might be tangled and all tied up in knots. Trust yourself. Trust your instincts. Trust your gut.

SPEAKER_01 22:46

And Gaia bless you.
