  2. 105: Oracle Decks - What is an oracle deck and guidebook; how and why would you use one?

    105: Oracle Decks - What is an oracle deck and guidebook; how and why would you use one?

    An oracle is traditionally a person, place, or medium through which divine or wise guidance is believed to be revealed. This usually comes in the form of insight or advice.  Oracle decks and guidebooks are flexible, intuitive tools used to channel insight, guidance, and clarity, composed of illustrated cards that convey messages without adhering to a fixed structure. Each card typically features imagery and messages designed to evoke intuitive responses. The meanings are often open-ended, encouraging personal interpretation Oracle decks are used for reflection, meditation, and connecting with inner wisdom. They help users explore emotions, clarify intentions, and receive gentle guidance. Many people use oracle cards as a journaling prompt or to check in with their emotional state. They are focused on empowerment, gently nudging toward deeper awareness and alignment with your inner truth. I walk you through an oracle deck card draw and guidebook reading.  Take what resonates and leave the rest. This particular reading is from the guidebook I have co-created, with art by my sister-in-law, Brenna. When it is published, you'll be able to have some fun with our deck and guidebook. More info to come! Stay tuned.

    101: It's all connected - BODYWORK & INTUITION, Human Design, Gene Keys, Astrology - Part 5

    Check out Episodes 94, 95, 96, & 98 if you haven't already! I talk about: The journey of healing. Looking at the shadow with compassion and without judgment. Our healing is mutual. I feel things intensely. Going through, transforming and evolving. Loving the hard parts along with the great parts. Extending grace to myself more consistently. Embracing feeling deeply. I am the through; I want to be a clear, open and aligned channel. Intuition - a whisper from your soul; a gentle nudge, a sudden clarity, a deep sense of resonance; it is remembered Bodywork is the intentional practice of engaging with the body as a sacred vessel for healing, transformation, and energetic alignment. It encompasses a wide range of hands-on and movement-based modalities that aim to release tension, restore balance, and awaken the body's innate intelligence. I experience bodywork as a dialogue between the physical, emotional, and spiritual layers of being.  I am a channel through which these wisdoms and divinely guided energy flow. During our sessions we notice without judgment and with compassion. Reiki –  Energy is information that moves. I believe that all healing is self-healing. It originated in Japan and the Japanese word REIKI is translated as universal life-force energy. Rei translates as sacred, soul, spirit, wisdom of the universe. Ki is the life-force energy flowing through every living thing. Reiki is a healing tool and is guided by my Soul/Higher Self, working holistically affecting the physical body, mind, emotions, and spirit, harmonizing the whole. Everything is energy and all energy is interconnected. Reiki is Divinely guided and always works for the highest good. Reiki supports you being involved in your own healing and taking responsibility for your own health and well-being.  Incorporating myofascial release, acupressure, lymphatic drainage, joint range of motion, cranial therapy, always inviting Reiki Find more info about any of this, check out my website almanutrido.com IG @beccajay.almanutrido @youareabigdealpodcast Support the Podcast here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2051242/supporters/new Support the show You are a big deal.
