How can I release anger? A free Journey Oracle reading

Think of a situation happening now in which you want to release anger toward someone.  Perhaps this person has been unskillful in their words or actions and has hurt you or someone you care about.  You understand the importance of releasing your angry inner dialog with this person, as it is ultimately only yourself you are hurting, but still, the muttering mind keeps cycling back over the situation.

 

Your inner wisdom will lead you to a resolution when you follow the prompts of this four card oracle reading and meet the Journey Oracle.  The insights from the oracle reading will be even more powerful and long lasting if you print this post and then write out answers to the questions posed by each oracle card.

BREATHING  UNDER  WATER

A mottled grey green form moved through the pond water. Its surging pausing progress came to rest on a submerged twig protruding from a floating island. A woman sitting on the rim of the pond, with a mental chaos of many tasks to do, watched as the form resolved itself into a frog with the stump of its tadpole tail still visible. “The head could use a rest” she thought, and so she focused on the frog that had now extended its legs out into a resting position, as if it were a child holding onto the rim of a pool. “This is a child” the woman thought, “even though this face has many stories already.”

The frog gathered its angular legs and blunt toed feet beneath its body. It began to crawl slowly up an accidental ladder of twigs and sticks from the underside of the island to its top layer of mossy mud. The frog kept climbing until it clung to a green stem in the thin morning sunshine, blinking calmly into the enormity of its first breath of air.

         “Now there is also long life in this face,” the woman thought, “at the end of this particular journey underwater.” The woman thought of the news she had received: a call from far away saying her father had died. As she sat in the strengthening sun, watching the frog feel its radiance for the first time on its slowly drying body, she thought that maybe this is how it is for everyone. “Maybe this life on earth is the time we spend breathing under water, and then we discover the sun.”

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 to resolve your situation?

This Journey Oracle reading has resulted in a few strong impressions that are staying with you like the waking residue of a powerful dream.  These are the most important "takeaway"insights from your journey to the Oracle. Let this journey bring healing and peaceful release.

Love letter to Canada from an adopted daughter

Oh Canada, what a special experience to have time away from my life of frame drums and oracle cards, to be in your capital city, Ottawa, for your birthday on July 1st.  Your city centre streets were for people only, everywhere dressed in red and white.

You thoughtfully offered sidewalk screens of your dignitaries and their appropriately red carpet, for those of us who just missed their passing by.

Free Canada flags were in every hatband and hand.

In a quintessentially Canadian gesture of kindness you even tried to air condition the whole hot day with great spinning mist machines in parks and on street corners.

And as the sky turned dark above Maman, by Louise Bourgeois, outside the National Gallery of Canada,

the music became turned up in the park near your Parliament buildings.

And then Oh Canada what a show you gave to the sky.

To those of us on the ground there were messages,

and  music explosions to match the glittering night.


At one moment during the long process when I became a Canadian citizen, because I could not be "landless,"  I had to stand before the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia and two red suited Mounties and say, "I throw myself on the mercy of the Queen."

I am so happy that you said "We accept you."
