Hello and welcome to your intuitive book reading for today.

My name is Anna and I will be your guide.

If you have not experienced an intuitive book reading before,

Welcome.

These are practices that I use in my own personal life that have been passed down to me and I have since evolved and started sharing with others and I hope that you trust that you've been guided to this for a reason and with each of these experiences it is completely different.

We're simply using the tools available to us to lean into whatever energies and whatever messages are trying to come through,

Whatever we need to receive most and trusting that whatever we experience and hear today is exactly what we most needed,

Whether it resonates immediately or not.

And so to begin I invite you to set your space,

Whatever that means to you.

I always like to start out by lighting a candle and taking a few deep breaths and I will lead us in a short guided meditation here but if you'd like to pause the audio for a moment and dim the lights or light your own candle,

Maybe play some soft music,

Shut the door,

Whatever you need to do to be present and if none of that is available to you right now that is perfectly okay.

Just make sure you are in a place where you can fully receive what is coming through,

That you are setting aside a few moments for yourself just to show up and trust that that is all we ever need to do.

And with that once you are settled in your space I invite you to make yourself comfortable,

Whether that is sitting or lying down or maybe just pausing.

Maybe you're actually out for a walk right now which is beautiful and as long as you're not moving or driving a car I invite you if it feels comfortable to softly close your eyes and if that doesn't feel right for you right now just allow your gaze to soften as you begin to bring your attention inward and start to notice your breath.

Maybe noticing where it lands in your body or maybe paying attention to the contact your body is making with the surface below you.

You may be drawn to a certain sensation,

It could be a smell in your room or outside,

Maybe it's the feel of the air on your skin,

Whatever is coming through most strongly right now simply allow it to be.

Acknowledge it,

Let it know you receive it and trust there's nothing you're meant to do,

Nothing to fix or solve,

Nowhere else you're meant to be than in this moment right here.

And with each practice I always invite you to set an intention for yourself whether it is something as simple as receiving what you need most right now even if you don't know what that is or maybe there's a question that you're really needing the answer to that you'd like to ask,

Maybe there's an intention or affirmation you've already been working with that you'd like to reaffirm now and taking this next moment and few breaths to simply let that integrate and with that intention connecting to yourself,

Connecting your mind and your body to your heart,

Connecting each of us with one another and to the collective,

Trusting that we are a piece of the whole and lastly connecting with the books that will be shared here today,

The passages and the messages and opening our hearts and our minds to fully receive whatever they have in store for us and whenever you feel ready you may blink your eyes back open if they were closed or feel free to keep them closed for the remainder of this practice and do whatever you need to do to like I said just fully allow what is coming through to resonate and be present with this.

So with each book reading that I do I have allowed three books to be to speak to me,

To know that there is something within them that needed to be shared today and it is a practice of simply allowing the book to fall open to a random page and wherever my eyes land is where I'll begin to read until I feel called to stop and after each reading I will leave some space for you to reflect,

To allow it to integrate,

To see if the message resonates and to give yourself permission for it to be okay if it doesn't.

I often find that sometimes these messages feel as though they were meant immediately for us in that moment.

Sometimes they take a little while and it takes you going out into your life and having conversations with people or experiencing something else and then you'll remember the reading and have a totally new perspective and other times you'll find they weren't even meant for you that maybe you were meant to be the messenger and pass it along to someone else and trust that you will know when that time is right and with whom to share it.

So with that I will get started with our first book and today that is going to be Untamed by Glennon Doyle.

Every truth is a kindness even if it makes others uncomfortable.

Every untruth is an unkindness even if it makes others comfortable.

I'm going to leave space here for you to sit with that and see what comes through and the next reading will come from Loving Each Other for Better and for Best by Gary Smalley.

Wait to share your feelings until your anger has subsided.

When you are angry the tone of your voice alone is likely to provoke the wrong reaction in your wife.

You might even spit out words you really don't mean.

While you are waiting to cool off either remain silent or change the subject to a neutral one.

If your wife asks why you are quiet answer her honestly.

Try to avoid sarcasm and say something like I need a little time to think this through so I can better understand my feelings.

Psychologist Henry Brandt encourages a husband and wife to be honest enough to say I'm angry right now and to discuss our problem would be disastrous.

Could we wait until I've cooled off?

By waiting you will be able to have a discussion instead of an argument.

Once again I'll leave some space here for you to reflect and the last reading today will come from Simple Abundance a Daybook of Comfort and Joy by Sarah Ban Breithnach.

Now make yourself a promise.

Since you have embarked on this adventure to awaken your authenticity and discover your own sense of style be willing not to buy another item of clothing unless you absolutely cannot live without it.

No more settling for something that's not you or that second rate.

On the Simple Abundance path you're going to discover the joy of surrounding yourself only with things you love and the pleasure of wearing only clothes that make you look and feel fabulous and project your authentic sense of style.

Let the potent power of simplicity begin to work in your life.

If it's not authentically you live without it.

And once more I'll leave a moment of space here for you and I wonder if any of those individual readings resonated for you or maybe you were able to pull a common thread or theme between two or more of them.

With this practice after each reading I always share what is coming through for me what I'm feeling called to speak what feels present and true and after all three of these passages there was such a strong theme I felt it from the very beginning of truth and authenticity of speaking that truth and also of knowing when to speak that truth knowing how to express it and so with that first reading by Glennon Doyle you really seeing how speaking truth she she talks about speaking truth as kindness and that speaking untruth as unkindness regardless of how comfortable or uncomfortable it makes someone else feel and I think that that's so important and it's so true that often we want to protect people's feelings whether that's someone else's or our own maybe we feel we want to avoid confrontation or it's easiest not to upset somebody or by telling them the truth they may blame us when in reality everybody is on their own journey and we need to trust that they are meant to learn their own lessons and that it is simply up to us to share what is on our heart and our mind and the second reading by Gary Smalley really added a layer of that and I think it gives us more guidelines of how to know when to speak that truth that maybe it's not in the moment it's not when we're feeling super emotional and we're feeling hurt or put upon or injustice and this need to make the other person understand how we're feeling but rather giving ourselves a little bit of space to really sort through what is our truth what when I take away the anger or the resentment or whatever other whatever other emotion is laying on top of this what is that neutrality that is just truth what is the thread that's coming through that is showing me this is what is meant to be shared with maybe it's an individual maybe it's a community maybe it's the world and with some of these readings it can be hard to see ourselves in them if we look at them too literally for instance with that second reading of speaking of a husband and wife when in reality it can apply to any relationship especially the one with yourself and it can be hard to know truth when it is just smothered with so many different emotions strong emotions and some that have been there for a long time and when we start to excavate you know we find things that are really scary that how long have they has this been here and and now it feels so urgent and I can't possibly ignore it any longer so I have to just get it out when we also know that speaking from a place of haste and without intentionality can do more harm than good even if there is a layer of truth below it so knowing that you are it's not necessarily about making the other person feel comfortable but that knowing that when you speak that truth regardless of how it makes the other person feel it was the right thing to do at the right time because it came from a place of love and trust in yourself and in the other person to receive that message and the last reading I love had a little bit more levity to it that is more of a personal relationship to truth and authenticity of how we express ourselves outwardly and so often when we start down this road of awakening or awareness or really learning who we are especially if we haven't been living that way for a long time it feel it can feel like the inside doesn't match the outside that we have done so much of this discovery and purging and getting to know ourself and we feel like a different person and yet the way we're presenting ourselves to the world doesn't exactly match up to that and I remember when I went through my own existential crisis and I wanted to just clear out everything in my closet I nothing felt like me anymore and I needed to change my entire wardrobe and I had to match every emotion that I was feeling and it felt so important to have people be able to see me as I truly was rather than the way that I had been presenting myself for so long when in reality it doesn't need to be that drastic and it is more again from that place of neutrality of am I making this decision from an emotional place of anger or of needing to run from where I've been for so long and and wanting to be something entirely different or does it feel really true to who I am in this moment and do I feel joyful do I feel confident do I feel beautiful just what is it that I'm wanting the world to see and that's okay that we're looking at that from a place of vanity sometimes as long as we know what that intention is what truth are we trying to speak it's okay to look in the mirror and say I want to I want to love what I see and we know that that starts with the inner work that it doesn't matter if we haven't done that work it doesn't matter how much how many new clothes we buy or how many youtube tutorials we watch on doing our hair and makeup or how to present ourselves or how to speak in public once we have done that inner work it is another slow process of allowing the inside and the outside to match to really getting to that place of living authentically and it can feel scary if it doesn't seem like those two match up but trusting that you didn't do all that work internally overnight it took quite a while and and the process of merging your your persona with who you are who you truly feel like you're meant to live as may take a little bit of time as well and part of that is speaking to that truth of letting those people around you know you know I don't really feel as though I'm showing up the way I want to or I don't feel seen and it doesn't feel as though my inside matches my outside and asking do you ever feel that way is this something you've ever experienced and I think you'll be amazed at how many people especially right now in this period of shedding and purging and evolution are feeling that exact same way and so with that I'm also called to share and sometimes I it's all about the messages in the book and sometimes there is another layer and with each of these books that called to me today I'm noticing the covers of the books are all pink and I love when colors speak through the message as well there's so much intentionality with that and and I do a lot of of chakra work and knowing that this is a heart-centered message of living or from a place of authenticity and truth and really honoring who we are and and what feels aligned for us in this world and so seeing that this color reflects that message as well is just another little sign of confirmation that as long as we open our heart and we listen to what is coming through even if that takes a while knowing it may not come naturally at first but just setting the intention to do so and then connecting that heart to others around us being willing to be vulnerable to be seen especially and we are shedding skin and showing up in a new form that can be very scary and very vulnerable so being gentle with yourself showing yourself compassion showing yourself grace and trusting that by doing that you will have a greater capacity to show it to others and to the world as well and I think we can agree that the world can use just a little bit more compassion and grace right now and that is what I'm feeling called to share from today's reading on truth,

Authenticity,

Compassion,

Trust.

I would love to know if any of these individual messages resonated for you if the message that I felt called to share around this theme has spoken to you if this is something that's showing up for you already in your life or maybe you're noticing that you're feeling called in this direction to explore a little bit deeper but whatever comes through please feel free to connect with me share your experience let me know if you enjoyed this practice if you'd like to see more of it if you would enjoy going deeper with this work and maybe learning how to do it for yourself as well and I will continue to post readings here and as long as we are open as long as we trust ourselves and we trust that there are constant signs and guidance and tools available to us to keep leading us to the right path to where we're meant to go we can take a little bit of the pressure off we can breathe a little bit easier and know that it is a lifelong journey and we're not meant to do it in a day so I hope that this added just a little bit of depth and understanding to wherever you currently are and I am sending you so much light and love and compassion and I hope that you're proud of yourself for continuing to do the work so I will meet you back at the next reading and wherever you are I meet you there with love and light until next time

I totally resonated with every passage and loved the format of this talk.
More like this please! 🙏🏻❤️

Loved the concept of reading randomly and exploring, digesting and discovering more thoughts. Beautiful!

🙏🏻🌟✨🌟💫🌟🙏🏻

Another wonderful reading meditation. I really enjoy these. I have recently embraced minimalism in my life and only buying things I truly love and truly reflect me as a person is a great guide for this!
