 Hey there beautiful souls. This is Ono. Welcome back. Thank you for watching and if you're new to Art of Awakening I definitely want to give you a big welcome. It's been a little while since I did a reading for you guys. So I'm gonna go ahead and do one now. We've got a full moon coming up. I'm gonna use my spirit animal awareness deck for this reading. Full moon is in Scorpio this month. So all that belongs to Scorpio is going to come to the surface. A big time right now. I may have been feeling it already. This has been an intense week. Scorpio does have a lot to do with kind of the deep unconscious. And you know the full moon is going to bring that up into and be illuminated. So if you've been having interesting things happen, triggers being triggered, triggering others. You know that's kind of par for the course. So don't feel bad. And just a side note about triggers. You know those things, when we get behavior patterns that aren't serving us, really the thing to keep in mind is that they developed as coping mechanisms. So it's like whatever patterns are coming forward that may not be comfortable, that may not be serving us, whether it's those of others or of ourselves, that they originally were there, you know, those patterns developed in order to help the person. If it's us, it may develop to help us. And yes, it may be something that we need to work through overcome because it's no longer appropriate, but it doesn't reflect the value of the person, right? It doesn't reflect that, you know, it's really, I think part of this whole mess that happens is that there's a whole guilt shame dynamic that goes along goes around when triggers happen. And that can really pull us suck us way down back into it. Because originally, like, if you look at the animal world, there's no good or bad, like, there's, there's kind of hard things that happen, right, in nature, but like there's no judging. Because all of it's there for survival, right? So every characteristic that an animal has is there to help it survive. And, you know, so as humans, at our core, we're animals at our core, right? I mean, yeah, we've got a consciousness at a different level. But when we look at some of the triggers or whatever happens, you know, just keep kind of keep in mind, that's that's your, that the animal part of yourself, that is just really trying to protect you from being wounded or the other person, whatever it is. And that those behavior patterns were originally there to help it to protect. And yeah, so let's just leave it that that it's, it's, you know, each person is defined. There's, there's, there's no shame or guilt in who you are or what you're doing, whatever, you know, we're all working through this together. And the more we can really focus on, you know, maybe something happened, maybe something, you know, felt uncomfortable for a while. But, you know, just, just forgive yourself for whatever, forgive the other person. I think realizing that those whatever behaviors are not serving us right now, they did start as, you know, something that was trying to be helpful. And, and probably was helpful at some point, help us get through trauma, get through a traumatic situation. And so if we can be just kind of have some gratitude for even the trauma as it comes, even the triggers as they come up, you know, have some gratitude, because what they're doing is they're pulling it up from the depths and showing it to us so that we can work through it. Okay. And, you know, the more we can just be accepting and grateful for those experiences and look for the lesson in them, the easier it is, is going to be to get past it. Okay. So first animal here, this actually came up in reverse, but I'm going to show it to you. That way this frog and I think it's kind of fits in with what we're just saying about, about triggers. And, you know, frogs real sensitivity, there's like sort of a canary in the coal mine kind of animal. The frog is one of the most sensitive animals to environmental pollutants, to toxic stuff. So this is really coming up, you know, toxicity, like any kind of toxic emotions, whatever, this may be coming forward, if it hasn't already, you know, in your life. There's been a Scorpio, it's a water sign, but there's a certain kind of fiery element to it. If you, I'm kind of getting inflammation, the word inflammation is coming up a lot. Triggers can cause, like if you think of getting a scorpion sting and you're going to get a huge amount of inflammation, it's going to kind of hurt, right? If we get triggered, it sort of causes that a sort of inflammatory response sometimes in the psyche. And, you know, I think sometimes like we get to see this frog sitting in water, I've been feeling a lot of fire energy in this this week. And my guidance just keeps telling me just put water on it, get water into it. And water being more like, it can be physical water, you know, taking a bath, going to the swimming pool. I've got a little fountain in my room and I haven't really been running it for months and months, but as it's like today, I need to run this fountain and get some water going. So even just the sound of water or imagining water and waves, very soothing. So looking for things that will soothe the fire, things that will kind of soothe the inflammation, staying real calm this weekend, doing calm activities, you know, maybe a quiet taking the family out to the park or something instead of trying to go to a busy museum, you know, if you've got kids, right? You know, spending some time in nature this weekend would be but it's always good, but this might be an especially good time to do it. This also might be a really good time to have some solitude. Let me just get away from the fray for a bit, get away and just feel into your own self, who you are, who you are. Here's again, this is another one of reverse, but it's B. Again, it's kind of that inflammatory response and what I was just saying about solitude, you know, B is a communal critter, but you know, coming up in reverse as it did and the whole thing about stinging, you know, with the scorpion, I'm kind of feeling this might be a very good weekend to, you know, maybe try to find some solitude, maybe hang up with one person you feel really comfortable with, but maybe not a good time, maybe not a good week for crowds. Just go within this weekend as much as you can. Go within and let's put one more. This one's coming. They're all coming up in reverse. I'm not showing to you in reverse just because, again, I like to see them this way, but Badger, again, that's got a very, I consider Badger, you know, it's very much an earth, earth kind of animal, but it's got a lot of fire to it too, especially with this card, you know, it's got that sun energy, there's a lot of fire coming up in this image in particular. I would say hole in, right? You know, the Badger's defensive mechanism is to just burrow into the earth, so grounding anything you can do to ground, again, getting out in Mother Nature could be like the best thing you could ever do this weekend. Just get out there and spend some time. If you have access to the woods, that's great, that'd be awesome, or whatever you got access to in your garden, maybe gardening might be really a good thing to do, get your garden going, but I'd say just really pull into the earth and the water energies, anything that you can do with this calming, soothing, grounding, because there's a lot of intense energy coming up, and as you, especially if you are doing some grounding or calming exercises or activities, actually watercolor painting, watercolor painting would be a great thing to do, anything to do with water, or maybe throwing pots on a wheel, something like that. If you, you know, want to do a little creative work, might, creative work might really be great to help to work through and help some of these things that may be deep in the psyche that are ready to be flushed out, help them to come up. So, you know, spend some time by yourself, do some creative work, journaling, excellent way to start, actually starting to see and process some of the things that, that we may be, and this might be stuff that's that, this might be stuff that we're visiting here this week that, that we've been working on and struggling with for years, it could be that kind of depth that's just coming up to light, just to be cleared. So, whatever happens this weekend, this week, this coming week, even this coming month, just breathe through it because it's, it's clearing a lot of stuff. So, if we can really focus on the positive kind of what, what this is all about, rather than the nitty gritty, oh my god, this feels horrible, or this is really hard, or oh my god, you know, I can't believe so and so, so and so, so and so, rather than focusing on that, if we can really focus on all this stuff is coming up to be cleared, it's really a healing process, just like, you know, inflammation in the body, when it's an acute inflammation, like if we get a bee sting or something like that, the body's going to flare up and have that inflammatory response, and what it does is it really kind of creates, helps to kill bacteria, it helps to just clear stuff out. So, just take it and stride and have a lovely week or month, take it easy, things will be fine, things will be fine, just really keep your mind on the positive, really might be a really great, again, just bring out those creative things, hold up, you know, just have yourself a nice kind of creative, creative dialogue with yourself and see what comes up that could be some really creative, really awesome stuff that comes out of it too.
