The Extended Hermit Mode

Greetings and Salutations to everyone during this pandemic and I am praying that you and your family are safe. In times such as these so much is going on the outside that we must remember that have balance within. I know that is easier said than done especially during self-quarantine. To be honest with everyone I really hate that word quarantine so I have decided in my own way to call it the extended hermit mode hence the name of the blog post for this month. My original idea or intent was to have this one shared in the earlier month of March but I did not know things would drastically change. So it is safe to say that the Universe was already giving me the heads up- so I was on track! As always my disclaimer: I am not an expert on your life and my only goal is to use my experience to help others on their journey. Our journeys thru life are vastly different but one of the key things is that we are all learning and growing from each other. Does not matter if it is directly or indirectly in some kind of way we are all having a shared experience.

Most of us that have done research know about the cards in tarot and being that I am a tarot card reader I have a great understanding of what the cards mean. I read cards a little different from what you see on YouTube because I focus more on the energy of the person and I have been able to channel different parts of people since I was a little girl. Now this particular card called "The Hermit" is depicted in a number of ways depending on the style and design of the card. Overall it generally has a very strong meaning and I look at it as something positive. Essentially the hermit is a major arcana card and depending if it comes our upright or reverse its meaning can be lesson, a reward, misfortune (not always monetary), solitude, isolation, enlightenment, self-reflection, guidance, soul searching etc. it is the effort one puts into getting to know oneself on a deeper level and often linked to wisdom. If you ever decided to get a reading done and the hermit card pops out it is not always negative. However, it reveals that there may be some inner work you need to do for yourself and can point you in the right direction towards healing. Remember you are the only that has to live in your head so make sure it is a pleasant place. There is a certain stillness and awareness that is associated with it and it is all about the re-discovery of you. So with that being said I know many individuals are now being force to deal with themselves in this extended hermit mode and discover what has and what has not work in their lives and to make changes. Whatever your dealings were before the global crisis now the attention has been more directed to the internal crisis. Ask yourself this: what have you put off for so long that now you have to face it? What steps are you taking to make the improvement? What type of life do you want to live now?

Now is the time to truly go within and explore the new sides of yourself without the noise and opinions of others and of the world. In order to truly see yourself and what you are capable of doing it is time to remove the mask. Time to be free and vulnerable with yourself and the attention you freely give to others-time to give it back to yourself! It is time to cultivate more peace, love and understanding with yourself. I am a firm believer that once you start to do that it will transform your home and the relationships you have with people. Have those uncomfortable conversations with yourself and embrace those quirky parts of you. To get you started I would recommend getting a journal and documenting your daily thoughts and the changes you recognize. Ask your self questions and allow it to marinate within your being. Be painfully honest with yourself- hell you may even get mad at some of things that you learned but also be gentle with yourself during this process. During this entire extended hermit mode we are currently experiencing you should be able to see life and live life a little different than before. Make room from for the abundance and blessings that are making its way to you and embrace the unknown. God did not only dwell in the light but in the unknown as well. Be hopeful in knowing that during this time you made the decision to elevate yourself on all levels of your entire being. Remember to be kind to yourself and to others. Be safe and #LiveLifePositive
