Today we ask "what do you imagine?" You have come here today because you are curious. You are searching. You know something you do not know and hope to be given steps to discover your own truth with some help. Alone, but with some gentle nudges of encouragement. In this intereactive Oracle you will find poetic muses that will be fair but kind. They will not sugar coat but they will not bruise. ...[[take 3 deep breaths in time...]]

She is the deity that decided to exile herself from the rest of the Orisha Kingdom's because of her shame at their wayward behaviours in the Earthly realms. Remember that the Orishas were Gods in human form incarnatee. It is through their earthly existence that we can take good example of how even Gods mess up. Now that said, What is it about you dilemma that makes your body feel weighed down? Do you feel [[tense or burdened]]? [[Are you feeling oppressed, cornered, put upon?]] [[Are you simply exhausted by it all?]]

Yemanja can be soothing, compassionate and embracing. Howevere , do not enrage her for the tempests fearsome. She becomes tsunami, tornado and tidal wave. Sometimes our shorelines, our emotional and mental health boundaries are blurred by the waters of our emotions. We become uncertain of the tides, the unpredictability of life renders us floating blindly through our days on an autopilot we don't even trust. Busy life styles and demands from our immediate circles have passive aggressive to outright treacherous undertows we don't quite know how to engage with. Her story is a creation story and her meaning for you today You may feel exhausted, espescially if you are doing [[more than your fair share]] of emotional labour.

He is full of fiery passion and creativity. He can also be warlike. Lightning is at his fingertips. In this image, he has chosen Oshun to be his wife. But not without a struggle. She did not come easy. He had to wrestle with feelings of frustration. You feel fit to explode if you do not get an sense of injustice out of your bones. Do you want to [[to confront the issue once and for all and be done with it]]? Consider whether you have enough [[objectivity]] on your situation? Is there too much emotional outburst happening - arguments, tears - that its disrupting life? Or are you quietly turning it all inward and it all feels like you're doing [[more than your fair share]] of heavy lifting in life? [[Are you simply exhausted by it all?]]

Stand back for a moment and do not judge the situation, the people involved, or yourself. When you thoughts turn inward, they can either help you [[speak your truth]] or [[entertain your will]] to self sabotage.

We have one long life time and we cannot spend it focused on what we cannot control. Sometimes it will be the lack of sensitivity of others. Sometimes folk act defensively. All of us carry our own tensions and struggles. This means the focus may not be on you that on themselves. You just become roadkill. Allow yourself to be illuminated by the situation that is causing you concern or stress. There is a gem of wisdom in the pressure of it. We don’t know what we don’t know. But when we have an inkling about something on the periphery trying to teach us something, we should <allow> ourselves to see and hear what this speck, this whisper is reaching out to tell us us. We get so used to denying ourselves the right things and toxic thinking and gets more air time. Take a moment with thoughts that Set the record straight. You know the truth, And this card refers to the one truth that is positive and liberating. Do not strangle these inklings of healing with an demands to fit assessments or criticism. At least, for a moment, allow airtime for neutrality and non-judgment, and listen to that other voice that is not your default thinking. Advice from the wisest bones In your body, melodies from the sweetest dreams Wake reluctantly into the wisdom of both Feel the world for what it is Not as it seems and when you stand in between slip streams and realms of uncertainty we can feel it in our breath we can feel it in our body [[The Spirit that wants to Speak]]

OK, you could do this. What will you have learned from the yet another uncomfortable experience in life? Make a choice.

OK. Its ok to take a moment. But as you breath in time with these playful lines consider the highs and lows this journey of life inevitably will feed us. People and scenarios will disappoint. We might disappoint those we care about most. Just bear in mind that you will know when the situation will be too unbearable and you will be pressed by the uncomfortablilty of your own skin needing to shed a layer of the past. Be decisive while you reflect. Put the energy behind your decision and trust your heart knows what is best, that you will good decisions and everything is for a reason. So let's do it, [[let's take a moment]]...

To there truths that liberate us. They give you choices on a platter. If you freeze when it comes to writing the first word, its fine, just promise yourself yo will not leave the page before 10 minutes. Going to dinner with your nemesis feels like a better option than confronting the page. So write put the writing away when you're done and be thankful you have an outlet to express the unutterable sentiments that makes us feel restricted or ugly. Or both! Nothing is random. Accept your part in creating the situation you find yourself in. Allow the acceptance to be a liberating experience and not a channel to bashing self, or to deflect, or project fears and bad habits on to others that actually belong to you. It a nuisance to hear it. Its just do not need to be right all the time. To admit when we may have got it wrong opens us up to understanding ourselves and the annoying or worrying situation that was the catalyst for you to be here using The Resting Oracle. Focus on the best outcome, operating at your highest version of yourself and visualise a fair and just outcome. Do this and then you will know what to be really angry about because you will know what’s yours and what belongs to other people or circumstances involved. [[Accept the things you cannot change]]

When you haven't had adequate reflection time or feel you have the social and relationship tools to articulate how you feel., speaking up for self can feel confrontational. You might find expectations of you to stay silent are everywhere, because you feel sidelined by invisible but almost tangible lines of rigid authority. Social expectations can prevent you from feeling brave enough or strong enough to speak you mind [[So consider this.]]

Sometimes we are unaware of how much we carry on our shoulders. We become so used to feeling tense, shallow breathing, jaw clenched, our hands and toes clenching into tight balls of aggravation. These are always connections and symptoms of unspoken and insidious energies that accumulate in areas of our bodies where we feel tension, hot aches and numbness. I want to draw attention to where we feel these tensions because our bodies are our temples. We hear this often. But they house our minds and our Human spirit. So when I bodies seem become weighted with [[more than your fair share]] of troubles or discriminations, we know that we may have a few pounds to shed that do not belong to us. Take a moment To look at your body, look at your hands; your arms; your feet; your legs; your chest; your stomach; your neck; look inthe mirror and observe as much as you can of you're back; your behind and take a moment halt any criticism and exalt your body for the physical, mental, and emotional terrains is it must journey while you [[entertain your will]].

We can [[reflect some more with a deadline to deal with it or drop it]]? A good sollution ot deal with things with the 'ripping of a bandaid' method. Sometimes that apology or the solution we would like may never come. Well not for the foreseeable future anyway. In the mean time why not consider changing how you feel about things... changing your mind ...and that means literally [[changing your mind]].

I have created a series of images and text that have come about through real life experiences as an woman of colour, a writer and living in the post technological age. I have been influenced lately by oracle and tarot cards, and how our intuition is a wise guidance system that often gets shouted down by the noise of modern living. We constantly face issues of dehumanisation through consumerist culture and materialism. We often find ourselves disconnected from people, from ourselves. Our senses and bodies struggle to get air time for all round self care. <img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/36af95ee9ae1b6ec8e9dabca745b2268/tumblr_ps8twjUQYV1qj46oa_1280.jpg" width="350" height="320"> This online interactive "deck of cards" is a prototype for new deck of cards that focus on stilling the mind for a moment, to offer challenging prompts for problem solving how we unltimate feel about some of the unexpected ocurrances in life.

But this requires stilling our minds, listening to the flutters in our second brain - our guts - where there are soul stirrings, where Orishas of our own are born, in the womb of all things, in the glub and rustle of the water of our emotions. The ones we are sometimes afraid of. Even orishas have cried tears so do not fear. Breathe deep and long, listen well... and [[speak your truth]] Poetry aside though, Our bodies are messengers of our mental and emotional well-being. When did you last eat? Did you drink water today? Have you had a good nights [[sleep]]?

The air will eventually become to thin , or if you resides in an inner city, too smoggy with the less palatable feeling, doubts and fears of others. Before you try to address the dilemma, consider how *you* feel entering the problem solving process. Have you let a negative situation occupy too much of your time?
