Hello,
Beautiful soul.
I'm Kandi Foster.
I'm a channel and an energy healer.
And I pull a card for The Collective each day,
Channel a message,
And share a Reiki flow of energy to assist with that message.
Each month I choose a new deck,
And this month we're using The Wisdom of the Oracle by Colette Barron-Reed.
If you enjoy today's message,
I encourage you to follow me so you never miss your daily message and Reiki flow.
If you are open to receive the Reiki flow shared here,
Simply accept in your mind's eye.
Today's message is card number 16,
All That Glitters.
A need to see beyond the superficial,
The desire to don a mask or dress something up to disguise its true nature,
Trying to be something you're not,
Chasing after every sparkly new thing,
Being mercurial.
It's only human to want to adorn oneself in trinkets and paint a pretty picture of oneself.
It's natural to want to acquire the trappings of status,
Or to deny them as a statement of rebellion.
But if it sparkles,
Is it better?
Whether it's a fast car,
A big house,
A title or position,
The stamp of authority,
Or the sparkling of diamonds,
These icons let you know something about a person,
Place or thing.
Or do they?
The truth is that people seek to acquire things because of what they will do for them,
And how they symbolically will elevate them and make them more attractive.
This card signals that it's time to see beyond the adornments and probe underneath the surface.
Learn to recognize the masks people wear and the motives underlying them.
Imagine that all the glitter is gone.
Would you still desire the object or person?
The Prosperity Message Sometimes an opportunity looks so good that it glitters like gold,
And you just can't resist it,
Especially when it appears others are doing so well and have hit the motherload.
During the American Gold Rush,
Everyone hurried west to find their fortune,
And then deserted entire towns after the mining depleted the gold veins in the earth.
So too can you deplete yourself as you chase after the latest shiny thing that has caught your eye.
There is a mercurial quality to your present circumstances.
Pay no attention to those who chase after fools' gold.
Resist the temptation to be jealous of others.
What they have achieved may not be the true success you seek,
So don't compare yourself to them.
You see only the surface right now,
Only the sparkle.
Be assured that you will experience your own shining moment if you stick to what you know.
All that glitters may not be gold for you.
All right,
Let's settle.
Come to this present moment.
Allow ourself to receive the energy shared here.
This is such a big and beautiful reminder today.
Sometimes we do get caught up in all that is around us,
All that we see on the surface,
Especially in this day and age with social media so prevalent.
We need a little reminder that everything we see is not necessarily what it truly is.
Everyone's family looks perfect.
Everyone's prosperity looks amazing.
Everyone's home looks magazine images.
But is it?
So many times we find that it's not.
And today I think we're reminded to just not let ourselves get carried away with that.
Remember that our goals need to be from within,
Not from that external thing that we're flooded with that we see every day and it's almost avoidable to see.
It feels like sometimes that can become an illness,
Right,
To have everything that everyone has,
To have the gorgeous,
Humongous home,
The amazing cars.
And sometimes we let that get out of our realm of affordability or even our mental state.
So a reminder to come back to our true self and those things that we really desire.
And oftentimes we find that those things that we desire really aren't things,
Right?
I have a sign down in my dining room that says,
The best things in life are not things at all.
So I encourage you to think about that today.
What are the things in life that aren't things at all for you,
That means so much for you?
And take a moment to just have gratitude with that.
I hope you found this message helpful today.
Remember the energy shared here will continue to flow.
You for the next 24 hours and I will see you tomorrow for your daily message and Reiki flow.
Namaste.
