Happy Monday Steemians!

To everyone who chooses to visit this week's initiative I call Medicine Card Monday, we have an energy work card reading for you. An energy work reading sends out positive, healing energy to the Steemit community. You may receive insight, a physical feeling, comfort, energy, or clarity in some way, shape, or form.

All of my readings are geared towards a healing; breaking through mental, spiritual, or emotional blocks that will assist us in overcoming every day obstacles.

If this is your first time swinging by, my Medicine Card Monday initiative is my positive intention to pull a card of healing or medicine for the community. This is different than tarot in that the cards I use are on the medicinal aspect of humanity other than the most common cards found in a tarot deck.

The decks I use are The Wild Unknown - Animal Spirit, Mystical Shaman Oracle, and the Chakra Wisdom Oracle. The cards will assist in helping those interested, find comfort in things going on in our community and the world we are now dealing with. Namely, issues around the world, astronomical, or overcoming health issues of all sorts, etc., maybe just something out of balance that we are feeling on any particular day that needs guidance.

By pulling a card for Steemit this will in turn assist with my Medicine training, give back to the community, and help those seeking answers. I will take some of the reading from guidebooks provided with the cards, but primarily give intuitive and medicinal words to help our community. We all have days when we need encouragement, inspiration, and comfort.

The card I picked for the week of June 4, 2018, is as follows:

Starting in a sacred space with a clear mind and body I pulled the Bittersweet card for the Steemit community from Chakra Wisdom Oracle deck by Tori Hartman.

The Reading

Bittersweet grow in vines with colorful fruit and are very ornamental. There are two species: American and Oriental Bittersweet plants.

Since I live in America I chose to feature the American Bittersweet since it is more in line with our energy reading. The reason to grow this vine is for the fruit, and they are primarily used and prized for flower arrangements. The Oriental Bittersweet is also used in landscaping.

The chakra color picked for this week is Blue, so keeping that in mind we know we will be working on our throat chakra for the week of June 4, 2018. Blue is the color of communication, truth, loyalty, serenity, faith, spirituality, creativity, and expression.

We will be focusing on our ability to maintain a creative focus, and our ability to be heard and understood. Personal leadership and redefine beliefs that no longer serve us. Personal responsibility will be brought into play. Blue is the color in which we relate to the world and self-expression. For example, writing, art, speaking and presentation skills. You will get who you are reflected back to you.

The Bittersweet card was chosen and this card means "a window is opened as a door gently closes."

The Legend: We celebrate, in the midst of grief. The celebration has been planned for the birthday child. We cannot tell the child that our hearts are not joyous. IF merriment rules in our home this day, so does sorrow that a child cannot see. God bless you, departed friend. God bless you, birthday child.

Inspiration: The passing of all things is inevitable. Whatever is happening may require release. This card could also represent unexpected news.

Personal Inquiry: Parents often make difficult decisions not supported by their children. Can I see the strength in the choices of others?

Key Ideas:: Hidden blessings; celebration tempered by sadness; protecting someone; ability to honor others; new horizons.

Keywords: Poignancy, release, maturity.

This reading goes into what will be for us on Steemit this week, as we can see it can be a change we personally decide upon. Possibly new friends, new groups, and the need to be mature. There may be a feeling of regret but the message is to release and let go.

Remember, this is a week that we are longing to express our bittersweet feelings about the transition of life. Be aware that this longing is a longing to find oneself. Have faith and take courage, you are on the right path. Listen to your soul voice and follow your inner vibration.

I hope you liked the reading for this week. If so, please leave a comment below. I'd love to hear what you think (but not if you think it's all BS!) That's typical Eagle Spirit humor right there.

If you would like a personal Medicine Card reading:

• Send 2 STEEM or 2 SBD per card (STEEM preferred).

• Choose a deck and spread: Animal Spirit (1, 2, 3, 4, or 13 card spread), Chakra Wisdom (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 7 card spread), or Mystical Shaman Oracle (1, 3, or 4 card spread.)

• Each person is given a special one-on-one healing energy session with a reading sent from a Reiki Master Teacher (that be me), and a Native American ceremony is included.

• Photos will be provided and explained. Please do not share these publicly.

• You can find me on Discord under the name Eagle Spirit #4491, or through the group @ifc Marketplace under Eagle Spirit's energy work channel.

Have a glorious week and come back next Monday for another Medicine Card reading! Peace.

Greetings,
Thank you for stopping by to read my blog. I’m a First Nation member of the Hopi & Apache Native American tribes, Medicine woman in-training, first time blogger since November 2017, (right here on Steemit), paralegal, researcher, and writer based in the Mountains of Colorado, USA. I work closely with fellow planktons and minnows in a few groups by helping them adjust to Steemit and curate quality content. I’m especially interested in finding others who love natural medicine originating from ancient practices, gold and silver, energy work, and the spirit world. Additionally, I'm the creator of #MedicineCardMonday, so if you are interested in receiving a Native American blessing stop by my blog every Monday, or just say hello!
See you soon, @eaglespirit
