If every material object were to crumble before your eyes how would you be?

Balanced Heart. Balanced Mind. Balanced World. Each week ANDREA THIEL CONNELL posts 3 cards representing the HEART Energy, the MIND Energy and the ACTION required to create BALANCE for the week, along with an affirmation to help align us in harmony with prevalent universal energies. 

The Mind: XVIII – The Moon 

The Heart: 7 of Cups

The Balancing Action: XVI –The Tower 

The Message: Reflection, inner development, creative energy, wisdom of the heart, facing reality, personal motivations, false wisdom, materialistic structures, authenticity 

It appears that this last week of January will prove to be a challenging week. All manner of obstacles will be presenting themselves this week and with them the realization of what sits behind them if you look deeply within. It is of course always possible to look only at the surface of things, but this week the surface will only show the problems; look underneath the surface to know the real issues at hand. 

The mind is being encouraged by the Moon’s energy this week to reflect quietly and deeply into the cycle of events unfolding. Come to understand thoroughly your own creative energy – this will help you immensely in trying to solve your problems and to stay in a calm balanced energy as events unfold. 

The heart will be presented with many clues to issues, obstacles and opinions to help sort out what truly motivates you on all levels of your being. The 7 of cups offers us all the various ways that we may feel fulfilled in our lives and asks only that you look to your own heart for your true answers. Following someone else’s dream will be unfulfilling and leave you feeling empty and drained. Honestly pursue your own heart’s desire and motivation. 

The Tower card guides the balancing action this week and to be frank this is very difficult. You are being asked this week to consider who you would be and what your life would be like if you were to lose every material thing that you think mattered to your self worth and self esteem. If every material object were to crumble before your eyes how would you be? Would you feel destroyed? Or would you be able to find your essential truth and personal authenticity. Your physical world is truly impermanent and will change many times in your lifetime. Can you withstand these changes if they seem to happen involuntarily to you? Do you know enough about yourself and you inner capacity for love and surrender to face material loss without losing yourself? 

Affirmation:

I am. I am all that I am and I am enough. I am strong enough to face all the challenges my Universe presents to me. I am willing to face myself bravely. I am.
