Weekly Spiritual Reading

The Oracle Speaks to the Goddess-Body-Mind-Spirit.com Community

The Goddess who is speaking this week is OYA!

Oya is an energy that is well known in the spiritual system of IFA out of Nigeria. In other cultures she is Kali Ma, Pele and Sekhmet. Her element is the wind. Often when Oya is on the scene, it is time for look for radical change and transformation.

What I have learned is that sweeping radical change is not always necessary. "Prune thyself less thy be pruned." If we take the time to use the self-master key called AWARENESS then more than likely we will see changes that are needed and make small incremental changes along the way.

If every moon cycle during the waning moon we would take time to release a limiting behavior, thought or relationship, then we would not have to go through the radical shake down Oya puts on us because we have waited too long.

Have you ever known that you needed to end a friendship and you didn't? I mean you stayed with that person, be it friend or lover, KNOWING that you needed to move on but for whatever reason you remain there too long with them.

And then the next thing you know BAM! You find out that you are involved with a cheating mate or a back stabbing friend! Well your ORI, your Higher Self, was telling you all along that the season for the relationship was over and you didn't take heed.

So the message for this week is to use awareness to see what needs to be released in your life. Prune your own self instead of getting swept away by OYA. Because what happens when we wait for OYA to move us out of our hard layers of conditionings, it happens in one fail swoop. Usually there will be major tears, heart break, sickness...a complete new beginning of which you had no idea was coming so you feel ill prepared.

When we take time to release and transform ourselves at least monthly, then we are significantly decreasing the need to be swept away by Oya's winds of change. We do not have to deal with getting decapitated by Kali Ma. Pele doesn't have to burn us with her fire and Sekhmet won't have to bury us in her grave.

Here is another key word: SURRENDER. Now as a recovering control freak surrendering is a challenge for me. I mean the feel of control slipping out of my hands is almost painful. When I think that the unknown lies ahead I feel down right fearful.

But I remember hearing a wise sage saying that the unknown is where the spice of life is. The unknown is where we grow, expand and have more abundance.

The known is where we will stagnate. This week consider what unknown is calling you? Are you willing to surrender something in order to get to this unknown? The greatest part of you to surrender is your EGO!

It is your ego that is attached to all of this stuff, these people, this environment and your constructed identity. So often the ego loves to keep us in the known because there is little need for growth. The ego will use FEAR and will say, "But if we stop this part of ourselves over here, then who are we really?"

But to figure out the expanse of who you really are you have to let go, and LEAP into the unknown. You have to just make a decision that you are willing to see if you can go beyond your previously set boundaries and experience MORE of who you are and what you do.

SURRENDER to the process. Let go! Let go! Let go! QUIT TRYING TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT. Maybe you will and maybe you won't figure it out. But you will not know anything more than what you have if you don't surrender and release.

I have witnessed death. It happens in a flash! Oya's domain is the graveyard. DEATH! DIE! DIE! DIE! The hardest part is letting it go......just releasing it and moving on into the new life that you are to live.

Go ahead and bury that thing that you need to bury. The time is auspicious. We are in the waning moon cycle and we are headed into fall: OYA's season. Fall is set to begin and we need to use that time to release and get ready to go into a bit of a dormant period so that we can rejuvenate ourselves and plan for what seeds of intention we will plant for spring only to reap and harvest in the summer.

We should still be harvesting a little this fall but we are at the last of the harvest in some regards and we need to start thinking about clearing any remnants that speak of death, dying, decay. Get rid of it.

In particular this week bury anything that seeks to keep you from walking in perfect peace. At all costs, give up anything that seeks to block your peace.

When Amen speaks you may find that there is a lot of inner or outer chaos. CHOOSE PEACE. It is that simple. You just have to adjust your perspective or position but you must choose peace.

Also, use this week to be very quiet so as to experience the truth that ALL IS ONE. When you think that you see an enemy of any sort be it a person, an addiction, a seeming condition...seek to experience the ALL IS ONE truth.

Maybe this is a time for you to understand what ALL IS ONE means if you don't already know. But the only reality is the Divine Consciousness also known as God/Goddess.

Also seek to get quiet in order to hear the voice with in.

Don't DO but instead BE this week.

This is also a week where the energy is right to experience flashes of inspiration. One of the best ways to get plugged into your inner psychic abilities is by surrendering fear, confusion, limiting beliefs and anything that keeps you from being centered in peace.

When you are centered in peace, you can easily hear solutions and receive flashes of inspiration to guide your life toward success and your destiny.

Clear clutter this week. Here is a gauge for getting rid of stuff. If you have not used it in 6 months then get rid of it. Have a garage sale, donate items, throw away trash (be sure to recycle what you can... ;)) and clear your space.

Lastly, do yoga this week. Even if all you do is 15 minutes per day, you will find more balance in your life and you will be able to deal with changes that come your way much better. Yoga also will build your physical, mental and spiritual immune systems.

The accuracy of your divinations never cease to amaze me especially since you did not personally know me. The divinations I have received from you have been accurate and on point with the issues that I was dealing with at the time of my divination request. One thing that will forever stand out in my mind is the message you channeled from my mother whom you did not know was deceased. Even now, three months later, when I read that letter I feel my mother's presence. As far as I am concerned, if I need clarity around an issue you are my first choice for divination.
