Waterfall Are you in touch with your feelings?  You may be experiencing some pretty intense emotions. Right now, you may believe there’s no end in sight or that it’s even hard to catch your breath, but don’t let the sweeping river knock you down. It may feel as though you are trying to catch up, but be careful not to chase the waterfall; it will never end and you’ll only fall in.  Instead, let the current take you to a state of being where you can linger in warm, reflective pools of relaxation and revel in the clarity of your feelings as you renew your spirit. Take advantage of the torrent of energy and cleanse yourself emotionally, physically, and spiritually. You may feel inundated and overwhelmed but just relax and go with the flow. You’ll experience an expansive emotional release that has been building for quite a while. Clearing the emotional stagnation opens up and allows the stream of conscious and unconscious thoughts to flow.  If you’ve been experiencing an inability to stop an outpouring of emotion or overwhelming sadness, now may be the right moment in time to agree to allow those feelings to be washed away with the streaming water.  Welcome the surge as it not only cleanses any negativity, it purifies and creates the much needed space to renew your spirit. ~Manifestation Affirmation~ I am present in the process of cleansing, purifying, and renewing my mind, body, and spirit! Centipede Are you allowing your fears and doubts to hinder your success?  Your pessimism and negativity are surely impeding your own progress.  You’re extremely busy and always on the move but is this to keep you from acknowledging your own worries?  There is a difference between being productive and just creating distraction for yourself.  Be sure you are not just bugging out but are instead working towards something positive.  Centipedes have a poisonous bite which can hurt you if you let it.  Addressing what bugs you instead of avoiding the issue can rid you of any long term negative residuals.  Be careful you are not the one who is quick to snap—once you sink your teeth into something or someone else it will be difficult to make amends. You are in a unique position now.  By recognizing you are truly the only one holding yourself back you can change that and use the positive energy of the centipede to better your social activities and bring you luck and good fortune.  In the grand scheme of things it may seem as though you are but one tiny being in a much larger environment, but that quiet ferocity you possess can humble even the most aggressive and negative nay-sayers. Use your industriousness to break out of your fears and free you from your worries.  You will become more confident with every one of your one hundred steps! ~Manifestation Affirmation~ I am busy, confident, and powerful and are fully capable of success in every area of my life! Road/Path Are you heading down the right road?  If you chose this picture it may suggest a need to review where you’ve come from and where you are going.  Do you feel good about the direction you are traveling?  Don’t forget to enjoy the journey; it is equally as important as the actual destination.  While traveling along your path of life you need to be aware of all of the obstacles. If the road is too bumpy or full of pot holes it may be time to stop, turn around, and proceed in a different direction. If things are smooth, it may be an indication that your present journey can lead you to where you need to be.   Sometimes, however, the tougher course may be more beneficial in the long run.  Take inventory of the landscape around you and be sure there are more pros than cons along the way.  Be careful to not veer off your path and stay in your truth—this may suggest taking the high road and being responsible in order to avoid unnecessary conflict.  Take a moment now to look back on how far you’ve come…you may very well be further along than you previously believed!  Give yourself a pat on the back.  The solo journey is not always the easiest but you have everything you need to make any course corrections. ~Manifestation Affirmation~ I am journeying in the right direction which is beneficial and positive now and as I continue forward in my life!
