Simplicity

This is your card reading for Wednesday, January 6th/15.  Your card bolted out of the 'Return of Spirit' deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  Your card is 'Simplicity', and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"Life can sometimes become very complicated.  The Simplicity card comes when the demands of life start to overwhelm us.
It's time to get back to basics.  It's time to take a TIME-OUT, so you have the space to breathe and the quiet to think.  It's time for a full assessment of what is and is not working in your life right now.  Are you over-filling your plate with too many tasks and errands? Are you involved in a complicated or emotionally draining relationship?  Perhaps you have been working too much or taking too many classes---leaving no spare time for you.
The Simplicity card comes to ask that you give your life an evaluation.  Take the time out you need, and start to get clear about what brings you sustenance in your life.  While life may never be easy, your life does need to allow for a sense of ease.  We can lose our sense of self and our inner connection to Spirit, when we are overwhelmed with the demands and happenings of the world around us. 
Spirit is calling you to begin making yourself a priority in your own life.  They are asking that you put yourself, and those things which help you feel closer to Source, in front of everything else.  You need a reprieve from the chaotic and hectic energy you are experiencing right now.
When you are in touch with yourself and with Source, it helps to make life more manageable. It helps you to feel steady on your feet and aids you in removing those things which do not align with your highest good.  It also frees your energy so you have plenty to give to those things which you choose to keep in your life."

My message for you today is this:
And so the messages from Spirit for you this week appear to be about clearing and cleansing yourself on all levels and in every aspect; in order to best honour yourself in moving forward into this year of creative courage.  I have noticed that many of the spiritual advisors at this time have been advising a purging of physical space; relationships; eating habits; and any old ways of being that no longer serve you in this next phase of self-expression that you are moving into this year.  That message continues for you here. 
We are moving through being weighed down and anchored by what we allowed to hold us back in the past.  We are truly moving into a 'lighter' time in our lives, wherein we prioritize better, and honour ourselves in doing so.  While we are never, realistically, likely to achieve a state of Being where we don't feel overwhelmed at times with situations that we are in; we are absolutely making the move of REFUSING TO being in that state of overwhelm as consistently as we once were.  We are figuring it out.  We are determining what is IMPORTANT to us, rather than simply aligning with what we have been told is important to us through societal and cultural norms. We are becoming more aligned with our Spirit and thereby with our Divine connection.  Be gentle with yourself.  This is a process---in truth, an ongoing process---but we are delving deeper, and are closer to achieving that state of Being than we have ever been before.  Simplify your life...determine what YOUR priortities are.
You are a beautiful and unique expression of the Divine---it is that simple, and that profound!
Blessed be...
