Episode 43: Still Gushing Water 1:12:33

12d ago1:12:33

1:12:33

A familiar face, we are warned to be careful what we are imbibing and how that is effecting what we are putting out into the world. There is toxic material in our waters, and it is coming from every direction. We must be careful and vigilant about it. That starts with surrendering to stillness and silence. Waiting for when the time is right and acc…

Episode 42: Primal Truth 1:27:57

19d ago1:27:57

1:27:57

What we say is effected by what we know, what we believe. Our core principles, our first idea and the metaphors that we live by. What we believe and know intuitively is mediated by what we can say. To speak it is to know it. To say it is to believe it. We are truth tellers by our very actions. And we stand on a precipice looking out over a grand vi…

Episode 41: Core Resonance 1:12:13

25d ago1:12:13

1:12:13

What happens when you start by joining the crown and the throat, what are you spreading out into the world, even without others realizing it’s you. What vibrations are you producing and sending that will resonate with others. How do you bring the good news, the joy and the truth to yourself. No matter what you think, you are the ever burning flame …

Episode 40: Purple Crown 1:22:45

1M ago1:22:45

1:22:45

We are a communal organism, a forest of connectedness, striving ever upward toward that which lies beyond. We are supple and moldable, and we adapt and overcome. This allows us to dive deep into our emotions and to find things that have formed us, core memories and metaphors that affect or control how we act and interact. We need to understand that…

Episode 39: Heated Words 1:05:55

2M ago1:05:55

1:05:55

The reading opens with the intersection Air and Earth, and a reminder that the words we say can fundamentally reshape other people. Just like wind blowing across sand dunes, our expression of ourselves affects others. Be aware of your power to affect change. Flowing from this idea we receive a reminder from The Creator that we are able to fold the …

Episode 38: Annual You 1:23:07

2M ago1:23:07

1:23:07

At the top of the chakras, how do you play hid and seek with yourself? How do you see yourself from the perspective of others and what does that inform you with? You can’t live forever with the guilt of things that you have done. You have to release it once you learn the lesson, once you show contrition to those who deserve it. It is okay to forgiv…

Episode 37: Weathered Tree 1:25:53

2M ago1:25:53

1:25:53

The context of the reading is the way the heart is affected by the winds and storms that assail it. A tree on a cliff that has been weathered and shaped, some would say mangled, by the forces that bear down up on it. But it survived because it was shaped and changed to survive. It’s not like other trees, it doesn’t just grow upright because it’s in…

Episode 36: Etherial Groundedness 1:05:29

2M ago1:05:29

1:05:29

For context we return to the intersection of akasha and akasha, how what is right is influenced by what we deeply know. The idea that perfection is the enemy of good, but that we need to strive for the good even when the universe can’t tell us something hard and true. It’s all relative and there isn’t a deep set of laws that we can follow that will…

Episode 35: Pulling Light 1:13:05

3M ago1:13:05

1:13:05

When the ether, akasha interacts with your fire, your core, what does that mean. Are you a beacon, a shining light in the darkness, a lighthouse on troubled waters? How does your authentic self look like in the dark vastness of space. How does the orbit of others affect you and your light. You are the ever burning flame, the source of fire in your …

Episode 34: Diamonds and Fire 53:19

3M ago53:19

53:19

What are the pretenses that you have formed that block the truth from flowing, that keep your core from really giving you the power to live. What is your authentic sparkle and how have you been either finding or ignoring it because of other whips and whispers. Everything changes. Change is life. Change is what happens if you live and move and breat…

Episode 33: Accurate Self 1:09:23

3M ago1:09:23

1:09:23

The reading begins with a poignant reminder to be aware of the ways in which information influences emotionality. When we look around to observe, perceive, and learn, it is vital to understand that our emotions are a filter that influences how we process what we know. Rather than allowing information to pull us in all directions, there is a better …

Episode 32: Friendly Fire 1:11:41

3M ago1:11:41

1:11:41

The reading opens with a reminder that true friendship is a rare and beautiful light that nourishes us, and gives us the energy we need to thrive and put forth fruitful harvests. The cards then remind us that we are freed of our guilt, and that this happens by way of the connections we make. We learn from other people not only when we have erred, b…

Episode 31: Express Yourself 1:03:19

4M ago1:03:19

1:03:19

The context for today’s reading is the idea of how our emotions intersect with how we express ourselves. As with the instruments in a band or symphony, the meaning the plays out with our expression changes based on intention. The same metal flute with the same air moving through it can play the same notes an infinite number of ways, and that is one…

Episode 30: True North 58:31

4M ago58:31

58:31

We navigate the world based on how we perceive it and what we know and learn from it. But our emotions and instincts are a filter, and we must be aware of them as we process the information that comes our way. Sometimes those experiences root themselves within us as shame, and this impacts our choices for the worse. Being free of shame releases ene…

Episode 29: Filters 1:09:41

4M ago1:09:41

1:09:41

In the vast universe, things move at incredible speeds and yet take millions of years to reach each other. Like that cosmic ocean, we too are together and apart, separated and yet emanating into each other’s lives, seen through the static of each other we must filter down what we are seeing. We can’t look for what’s perfect, we have to look for wha…

Episode 28: Rooted Resonance 1:07:33

5M ago1:07:33

1:07:33

We are what we are, but we share that through what we say. We shape ourselves through what we say. At times, we need to one reminded that what we say creates what we are in that moment. And that can cause fear. But we are released from that fear if we allow ourselves to be. Someone in our life is giving us joy and good juju. We need to connect with…

Episode 27: Moral Wheel 1:11:31

6M ago1:11:31

1:11:31

Dean and Jack start with an immediate reaction to the card suggesting that morality and ethics are set and stable. That with our instincts we simply know what is right and true. But we are reminded that even thought what is, still is, what will be is still coming. That even though we have made this action, this decision, this moral outpouring, we m…

Episode 26: Bold Honest 1:02:43

6M ago1:02:43

1:02:43

At the start of the year, we get the reminder to speak our emotions in a way that seeks maturity through communication and honesty, authenticity. When we do share, it creates ripples both in ourselves and those we are speaking to. We need to allow those ripples to flow and give time for them to take shape and disperse. We are reminded not to just j…

Episode 25: Willful Direction 57:51

6M ago57:51

57:51

When what we say is influenced by what we see of the world, we are like a boat being influenced by the winds, the emanation of others as they buffet our sails. Some push us ahead, some work against us. Some cross us and force us to reposition or take our sails down completely. We then are reminded that when we do still our waters, we should do so w…

Episode 24: Resonance 1:08:19

1:08:19

You are a vault that touches heaven and earth, a cathedral that is a sacred and whole space, into which you are deserving of a respect that should fill you root to rafters. As the wind and storm gathers realize that you deserve to feel the joy of riding that wind. You deserve a moment of happiness that fills your sacred space, the laughter of yours…

47:51

We begin with a strong reminder to stop, pause, and listen to the intuition that is rising from your molten core, an alarm ringing in your depths. Something needs attention. But first you must still your emotions. Do not let fear roil them and cause them to heave and beat against you. Still them with intention and let them settle so you can hear th…

Episode 22: Soul Building 1:12:17

7M ago1:12:17

1:12:17

Revisiting the concept of the obelisk, we begin by discussing what is engraved upon our psyches. Despite the deep etching, these stories can still be adjusted. Nothing is permanent, and we also have the option of creating an entirely new surface. The idea of giving away abundance becomes a guiding principle, especially when it helps to clarify the …

Episode 21: Uncomfortable Comfort 49:03

8M ago49:03

49:03

Cycles are not circles, they’re spirals, moving inward and upward. The Celestial was eager to come out of the deck, just as we are eager to begin a journey. Sometimes cycles happen suddenly, unexpectedly. The journey starts from any point that you choose or discover. Let the journey become absorbed into you. They don’t stay superficial, the become …

Episode 20: Rebalance 54:33

8M ago54:33

54:33

A familiar face appears with root touching crown and we are reminded of the obelisk that sits so grounded and yet reaches toward the heavens. We have the opportunity to rebalance ourselves, to connect root to crown and fill ourselves with the positive and balanced energy of a free-flowing system. Right on cue we rise to the second chakra and remind…

Episode 19: Purpose 30:53

8M ago30:53

30:53

Here we find a bookended reading: Number 43 of 49 from Jack’s system opens and closes the reading, but in different manifestations of the concept. The idea threading through the cards is that we live an existential paradox. We are simultaneously so very important, and yet so very insignificant. But this is empowering in both directions: In the phys…

Episode 18: Wet Sponge 35:55

8M ago35:55

35:55

The sassiest of Jack’s four decks jumps right in with a reminder to be curious and proactive about learning and discovery, given that this is part of the ongoing process of evolving as a person. Dean pulls next, and the reading segues into the idea that this journey of growth may seem fraught with peril – what if what I learn undermines everything …

9M ago52:17

52:17

The reading opens with a reminder that having honest conversations are an important part of maturing personally, intellectually, and socially. Source of Seeds.

Episode 16: Resonance 56:13

9M ago56:13

56:13

We begin with the shaping of a living plant, the pruning of wood and leaves to help create boundaries, to choose better people and define ourselves in a way that gives our love where it is deserved. As you delve into your emotions and the intersection with your heart, you must allow your waters, your metal to carry you home, back to safety and secu…

Episode 15: Creative Flame 46:25

9M ago46:25

46:25

This reading started differently with Dean’s deck being very talkative, setting the stage of a ship returning home on the tide, laden with knowledge and ideas where upon you can set out on a journey of creativity and action. There is an immediate reminder to bring this into a practical, real sense, not to leave it in the mind’s eye, but to bring it…

Episode 14: Kitchen Witch 44:15

10M ago44:15

44:15

Dean and Jack are started with the image of a boiling pot, simmering over an open flame where metal meets fire. We found ourselves with a kitchen witch considering what they make, how they make it and if it’s right for them to make. They have a responsibility to choose well. Then the seeker of waves comes with their potential energy and a message t…

Episode 13: Shame 35:19

10M ago35:19

35:19

Dean and Jack are met with a ghost from the previous episode, the same card as before, but with a new meaning, a new message. When you are impaled by an event that rocks you to your core, you must pause and remember that it is does not define you. B another card showed its face again, the release from shame. Don’t pick it up, don’t let it in, it is…

Episode 12: Legacy 53:29

10M ago53:29

53:29

Dean and Jack finally get a reading that starts with the lower chakras, where root and sacral chakras meet, the dance of earth and metal which forms beautiful works of art. This groundedness is then challenged by the imbibing of the universe and the projection of the heart, sending out that sense of self and security to those around us. With all of…

Episode 11: Soulwork 1:17:39

10M ago1:17:39

1:17:39

Dean and Jack begin with the impossible connection, the crown touching the crown, the universe touching itself and yet here in it we are. The idea of dynamic balance being better than static perfection. That within our connection to something divine we are actively striving to be. The reading became one of external understanding and internal soul w…

Episode 10: Collaboration 1:01:13

10M ago1:01:13

1:01:13

Dean and Jack have another very high energy reading, the intersection of third eye and crown to set the stage. A profession of wanting to see more, to understand more, to gain insight into that which is beyond us. Curiosity influences the way we see the world.

Episode 9: Mass 1:10:35

11M ago1:10:35

Episode 8: Knowledge 56:59

11M ago56:59

56:59

Dean and Jack struggle to find meaning in this reading. We love learning, especially from the wisdom of others. But that wisdom is not always easy to ingest, to understand and to bring into action. Sometimes it’s hard to open our eyes to the truth of what we’re experiencing. Truth itself is hard, not always what we want it to be, and not always abl…

Episode 7: Jealousy 1:03:05

11M ago1:03:05

1:03:05

Dean and Jack start with confronting jealousy and describe the process of washing clean of these emotions as a way of redirecting wasted energy inward toward one’s own growth. Jealousy is the combination of emotions and connection turned into an out of balance negative focus. Instead we need to name it and learn from it. Dancing on the shoulders of…

Episode 6: Maturity 1:07:44

11M ago1:07:44

1:07:44

Dean and Jack look at how important it is to constantly refine oneself. The brain ages, the body ages, our spiritual self must age and grow as well, constantly refining itself.

Episode 5: Shared Energy 1:00:15

12M ago1:00:15

1:00:15

Dean and Jack explore how the diffusion of energy is a way of sharing spiritual wealth with those who surround us, love us, and interact with us. Share without sacrificing, receive without taking. To do this you have to be aware of your resources and your needs. You don’t own the winds and the storms that come and go, storms that water the land but…
