Harvest - Gathering of Blessings

I felt guided to draw a Focus Friday card today. It has been a while and I know energy are high right now, and I am grateful for those that reached out and told me these were missed!

Today’s card is pulled from a deck, my love Vinny got me for my birthday in August, and has become one of my favorites! The images are gorgeous and words resonate deeply! This is the “Priestess of Light Oracle Deck” by Sandra Anne Taylor and Kimberly Webber.

Card: #44 Harvest - Gathering of Blessings

Message: The Priestess of the Harvest gazes at an ear of corn with great reverence and appreciation for this sacred sustenance. The cause (the seeds) along with the effect (the nourishing food) coexist right in her hands, a tribute to the beauty and Blessings fo Mother Earth. The Priestess knows that her own efforts and intention are part of the ongoing abundance that nature provides. ��When you receive this card, you are being put on notice that your harvest is coming. There is a project or goal to which you have devoted much effort and attention, and you are about to reap the rewards. You have planted your intentions with care and talent the action you needed to tend the seeds and cause them to thrive. So if you haven’t already seen the fruits of your labor growing in your life, be aware of the potential beautiful results about to come your way. And if there is some work yet to be done, consider the best course of action, and make that a priority.

Remember, too, the simultaneity of cause and effect. Even as you are harvesting the blessings of your past actions, you are planting the seeds of future outcomes. So as you ready yourself for the coming harvest, also know your sacred appreciation for the gifts you’re receiving will be seeding the energetic fields with even more joyous results.

Affirmation: I work joyously on the goals that I am planting now, and I appreciate all the support and sustenance that the Universe has to offer.

Comments and Exercise: There are so many blessings harvesting in my own life right now that this felt like such a perfect card when it literally came flying out of the deck. AND as it is Autumn and harvest time in the Western Hemisphere - which also felt aligned.

What seeds did you plant this year and what have you seen harvested? Maybe you started 2023 or Spring time with wishes of closer friendships, more time for yourself, making more money, feeling healthier or another intention…. How has that been going for you and are you starting to see signs that it is ALL working out for you? So many times we are waiting for the BIG REVEAL and we don’t take time to take stock and pay tons of gratitude for the blessings and signs being given to us that all is truly OKAY. BETTER THAN OKAY. All we have asked for is being delivered and as long as we keep having faith and moving forward - we will notice the rewards of our efforts AS the harvest continues to grow.

This is not to say if you feel there is still a waaaayssss to go you need to beat yourself up. We are always at the perfect place and there is always time to begin NOW to get clear on what you want. Us humans tend to focus on the negative. It is an effort to keep (hopefully GENTLY) pulling ourselves back to what we DO want and what we are striving for instead of feeling any lack. Gratitude is truly the secret sauce for manifesting.. and if you aren’t seeing movement in the area you are focusing on.. take time to notice the other areas in your life where there is a LOT to be grateful for. There is always SOMETHING (usually MANY MANY things) to be grateful for. Clean water, a hot shower, loved ones - people or fuzzy ones, a comfy bed, yummy food and so much more. Staying inn gratitude for even 17 seconds starts to transform energy - I think we ALL have 17 seconds to consciously choose to be grateful.

I have been very busy, working a lot (though it has not felt hard since I truly love my work and it feels like FUN) and also making sure I take some time to rejuvenate. I am starting to see so many opportunities open up and am thrilled, excited and yeah okay there is some fear that sneaks in sometimes, but I am mindful enough to also transmute that to excitement and gratitude. You might feel uncomfortable as your intentions start manifesting, even though it is what you said you wanted. Change CAN feel scary. As you receive these little signs that the Universe IS IN FACT listening to you - please give thanks. Assure yourself it will be okay - actually it will be BETTER than okay! Your harvest is ready and acknowledge, “Why YES, thank YOU, I AM ready to receive”.

Exercise: Close your eyes, get centered and comfy and put your hands on your heart. Slow your breath. Take a few moments and think about something you have been wanting to manifest in your life… an intention you began the year with or something you felt you wanted more of in the Spring time… Close your eyes and bring that image in and ask yourself if you have received ANY signs that you are beginning to reap the harvest of what you put out there or IF that it is coming to you. Breathe that in and thank yourself for that sign. If not, or if you still have more you would like - ask yourself what ONE step could you take over the next few days to keep moving in the direction you want. Breathe that into your heart. Take a few seconds (okay at least 17) and pay gratitude for you knowing what you want and for any signs you have seen that you are ready to reap your harvest. Affirm to yourself you will be mindful to pay gratitude for ANY sign you receive and thank yourself for working toward this intention. Breathe this gratitude into your heart and exhale out any resistance. Give yourself an inner hug as you open your eyes.

We are in Eclipse season - SUDDEN changes CAN and often DO occur. Affirm to yourself you are ready and open to see the magic and miracles in your life!!! I am sending MUCH love your way!!
