Spirit Library: August 2023 Energy Report
Jennifer Hoffman
It’s a new month and another new vibe but this one is different from what we have been experiencing – it is a lot more purposeful and intentional, not quite as random with the downloads and shifts as we saw in June and July but don’t get too comfy because we are still in a very intense energy period which continues for another 2 weeks and that is going to shake things up a lot, as we are already seeing.

Inner Journey:
WHAT BLOCKS CONNECTION?
“People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.”
— Joseph F. Newton
We experience soul when we really connect with life — when we stop and consciously experience what is happening.
We lose soul with:
resistance – to anyone or anything
superficiality – we avoid depth of experience
control – we try to control the relationship
selfishness – we remain self-centered.
Each of these attitudes fosters separation rather than connection. Once again, soul lives in relating.
Take time to become aware of, and perhaps journal on how you relate to other people and things in your life.
“We have to decide for ourselves what’s nourishing to our souls, and do those things over others.”
— Thomas Moore

A Note from the Universe
How is it, that with so many brilliant beings on your planet, so few recognize that when one’s life encounters turbulence, choppy waters, or setbacks, it’s always a sign that things are about to get wildly better than they’ve ever been before?
And by brilliant beings, I’m not talking about the dolphins (this time).
Don’t fight it,

Today’s Tarot: Tuesday The High Priestess
Let intuition be your guide today and you won’t go too far wrong. If something doesn’t need to be done or delivered instantly, take your time and let events, situations, and people claim the time and attention they seem to want. Things want to sort themselves out for you, in the best ways. Don’t introduce complications. Be decisive when necessary but otherwise step up, too, and be pleasantly surprised.
Today’s Tarot; Wednesday The Empress
Some big new opportunity could come your way today. Focus your attention on the one thing you want most to have happen and it won’t be able to resist you. You can be persuasive and graceful, smooth and strong all at the same time. Act with quiet confidence and be admired later. Today, enjoy having people listen and do almost everything you suggest.
