Free Journey Oracle card reading for 2018

This blog is my new year's gift to you: a free reading using the Journey Oracle cards.  Posted below are the 4 cards I drew for a new year's reading about a situation I am in right now--planning a new direction in my art.  

You can print and fill out this full oracle card format to create a new year's reading for yourself. 

Begin by thinking of a situation for which you would like some advice.  This will be the topic of the reading.  Allow the situation to be around you in all its complexity, without thinking of any solution.  Then follow the prompts to meet the Oracle and complete your reading.



JOURNEY ORACLE CARD READING: CARD 1
         
An Oracle translates a problem or question into a language of image and symbol like that of dreams.  It changes the way you experience a situation to connect you with the inner forces that are shaping it.  An Oracle dialogues with your imagination—the creative basis of experience we call the unconscious.

ASKING  THE  BREATH
A woman wanted to speak to her dreams, to ask the meaning of images and actions and so receive a different way to look at things. But how could her being in the dream talk with her being in ordinary life? The woman had yearning rewarded when she realized that both these parts of her were breathing, and so maybe she could ask her breath to tell her the meaning of her dreams.
The woman began to pay attention to how she was breathing when she was feeling a Yes about something: her breath went deep into her chest without interruptions. She noticed that when she was feeling a No her breath could not maintain a balance of action and consideration—and became tight and shallow in her throat. The woman practiced asking her breath by focusing on situations she knew to be true or false. She would say “I know this plant” while holding a sprig of something she recognized from her walks in the forest, and then take a full natural breath. Her throat would open and the air would go deep into her chest. Then she would pause at her driveway and say “it doesn’t matter which direction I turn to go home.” And her next breath would stay high in her throat, feeling constricted and shallow.
         The woman’s practice became a spirit-filled good intention toward her dreams. When she first woke up she would ask her breath to discover the subject of a dream, and confirm the meaning of places and people because of course in a dream nothing is ever what it appears to be. The woman became so skilled at this that she began to call on her breath to confirm all her decisions. When someone said “Does it matter which one we leave?” or “Is this the way we go?” the woman would close her eyes and be asking the breath and in this way speak her decisions from a clear guidance. Then all of nature began speaking to the woman; because of course everything is a part of the same breathing.

Who are you in this story? 

What is the meaning of the story for your resolution?

Based on your character in the story, now what are you now going to do?
