16Jan - What your shadow thoughts are actually doing

Hey, hey, hey, beautiful heart! What's vibing today? Dr. Denae Arias here to do today's energy reading, see what is going on. All right, um, for those of you returning, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for your likes, your subscri— subscribes, all the private messages you guys have been sending. That adds your energy into my collective. That way I can easily pick up what is going on, um, with you and all of that. For those of you who are new, welcome, welcome. Get comfortable, grab a drink. Let's dive into the energy. You might be surprised at what comes out of my mouth, just like I am. So, all right, you guys know I'm addicted to Kickstarter and backing, um, new decks and things like this. I am super excited about this set. I think it's been about a year now. I could be a bit off on the dates, but, um, I was one of the early backers to this deck, and it's called Familiar's Way. It's actually a self-development set, and we've got the tarot, we have the familiars, which are the different animals oracle, and then we've got the shadow work, um, deck. So I have the tarot and the shadow work deck out, but let me just say, guys, look at this. I mean, it is a heavy box set. The art on this is fabulous. I mean, I have a bunch of new Kickstarter decks that came in that I will do our readings with. This, um, Dream of the Nile is another one. This is mind-blowingly beautiful. But today I want to dive into this, so let's get into it and see what's going on. All right, Spirit, all of you and none of me. Show me the cards my collective needs to see. Guys, let me know in the comments, how's this energy been for you? Um, I know it can be very intense and chaotic, and guys, chaos doesn't have to be negative by any means. Uh, there could be chaos in the most beautiful things going on. All right. All right, we have experience of feelings. This would be the Knight of Cups. Introspection of thought. This is the Queen of Swords. We have experience of somatics. This would be your Knight of Pentacles, and then introspection of somatics, Queen of Pentacles. All right, makes absolute sense with this energy, guys. So yeah, you already know 2024 started off with a bang. Told you it was going to be an intense year. It was going to kick off right as the clock struck midnight on, um, January 1st. This energy has not disappointed. But what does that mean individually for you guys? It means expansion. Jupiter is in the sign— it went direct in the sign of Taurus. It'll be that way through May. Taurus rules Pentacles, finances, abundance. It's a very grounded energy. Jupiter expands everything it touches. So yes, we are in this energy of expansion. What you're putting your attention on and what you're feeling will expand. So if you don't like what you're thinking and feeling, if it's a lot of that old energy, nobody can change it for you. That's a free will decision you have to make. And once you make that decision, then you need the discipline and the strength to hold on to that decision and work through it, because absolutely 3D experiences are going to show up to make you doubt. That's the whole thing. That's altered ego and 3D matrix energy is 100% doubt and fear. So if you have doubt and fear going on, whether it's in thoughts, uh, feelings, the way that you're thinking and talking That's 100% ego. Soul does not know that. It does not work that way. So I do feel, and this has been a theme which makes sense, about security, abundance, and finances. Um, it feels like the energy is a bit all over the board with it. It's as if, yep, yep, I see, you know, I know this, I'm working on my feelings, um, I'm with this introspection of thoughts. You are taking the time, putting in the time, however you want to say it, at changing your beliefs. Many of you have been on this path for a long time. It's very rare that you're gonna find me and resonate with my work if you're brand new on the awakening journey. Um, so most of my collective has been on this journey for many years. I mean, truth be told, lifetime after lifetime. Um, but with that said, you are cutting away I feel like some of you, what you're experiencing now is more of habits of the old thoughts than the old triggers and the old reactions coming up, um, as the energy comes in. But you're holding fast, and I like that. You, you know where you're going. You know you've been putting in the work. Many of you, um, coming through this new moon we just had really made it real for you. So taking the intellectual knowledge, the knowing, and making it real in your heart that, yeah, this is your year, this is your time. No matter what it looks like on the outside, that is not your truth, that's not your story, and you're not buying into that. And how do you not buy into that? You don't give it any energy. Whoa. So let's see what shadow stuff is coming up. Yep, this one is shame. It's one of the 5 human habits I talked to you guys about that I help you get out of. Guys, if you're struggling with your thoughts and your feelings and you can't, um, get a handle on it or get control of it, um, you might want to check out my offerings and book a session with me. My sessions are more therapy than just readings, and I help you overcome your thoughts and your feelings. Um, all right, weak. Let me grab one more. Okay, so this feels as if this internal dialogue— your alter ego loves to throw this dialogue at you. It loves to remind you of your past where maybe you weren't making the best decisions, um, and somebody made you feel— you already felt shame, but then somebody else came along and reinforced that. I do feel this has to do with finances. Um, and if you've been seeing yourself as irresponsible with finances or ashamed of decisions you've made financially, that is making you weak. Guilt, shame, condemnation, judgment, blame, and gossip all make you weak. This is what it makes you feel. The moment you put your attention on shame, you drop your vibration. Um, I feel like with this card, this is the startle card. You will be— you've dug yourself out, you're moving forward, you're like disciplining yourself, you're like, yes, yes, I got this, I got this, all's going well. And then some sort of energy comes in and startles you. And that could be an unexpected bill, something not going your way financially. And when this startlement— I don't even know if that's a word. If not, it is now, I just created it— um, comes in, it does try to knock you— here she's on a bear— but it tries to knock you off your bear. Because remember, this is the Knight of Pentacles. Slow and steady wins the race. Have, have well-thought-out plans, working the plans, so on and so forth. Um, but when this startle energy comes in, you pull back and you shut down. So if you've been finding yourself kind of shutting down, um, and shutting down can feel overwhelmed, not wanting to look at it, um, what have you. One thing I want to say is, yeah, altered ego absolutely is weak. Your soul is not. So for those of you old enough to remember, you know, um, actually I think it was Looney Tunes. It may not be, but that genre of cartoons where, um, you had the angel and the devil on the shoulders and speaking, that's essentially altered ego um, and soul. Altered ego comes from the doubt, the fear, the anxiety, woe is me. I mean, altered ego literally is Chicken Little. Um, soul doesn't engage with it because soul knows truth. Soul is who you really are. You have been living a life of falsivity. Again, another word. Um, In other words, you've been living less than who you really are. This journey, you've been, um, looking at all of your beliefs to get back to who you are. Yeah, Seven of Thoughts. This is, um, the Seven of Swords. So this is that— I did— yes, it's deception. I feel this is where altered ego deceives you. Um, for those of you who are listening to somebody outside of you who's not even on the same energy level as you spew their lower vibrational energy and you're taking it on as you, if that resonates with you, you already know. You're— there's not going to be a question, is she talking to me, is this for me? You're gonna know. Um, unplug, unplug from the energy, step back, go silent for a little bit, and you're gonna realize it's not you. Some of you definitely need to unplug because altered ego's voice is getting louder and louder, and that's going in the wrong direction. Altered ego will always come at you in the Seven of Swords energy. It's always deceptive. Death's Passage. I absolutely love this card because essentially this is the death card, which means rebirth. It's a very Scorpionic energy. Um, Scorpionic energy loves to look at everything, tear it all down— what's not working, what doesn't feel right— and then build back up. That's what you're doing. Many of you are at the precipice of, do I keep going forward and believe and trust the process? Because right now in my 3D, nothing is reflecting that this is going to come to pass. Each of you gets to make that decision. I encourage you to keep going because this is just the normal pattern. Many of you just need to reflect back when you've been here before And this is usually when you give in. This is don't give in, don't give in. Yeah, Nine of Thoughts, Nine of Swords. Don't give in to this internal energy. Again, I feel like somebody recently has stirred up all this energy for you. So ask yourself, is it even my energy? Pay attention to your body. Your body is always giving you clues. It's always talking to you. If when you ask that question, your body gets tense, you get pains, you feel uncomfortable, whatever it is, pay attention. There's answers there. All right, Spirit, what does my collective need to know as we end this reading? What do they need to to know. And I know many of you just want to have readings where I talk about the situation, what your person's doing or not doing. I will do those, guys, but the main, the main thing with my channel and my work is definitely self-mastery and self-help. You're not going to achieve self-mastery and self-help if your attention is on somebody else. All right, 7 of Feelings, 7 of Cups. Yeah, you are— your energy is being pulled in many different directions. You are coming out of and arresting this codependency energy, which is leading you to have a bit of trepidation in making decisions on what to pick and what to move forward with. Let it go. Don't make it too hard. Pick, pick, you know, go back by your feelings. If your body feels restricted or tight in any way with these options, table that. Pick the one that has ease and grace and you feel flow. There's no constriction. Most likely that choice is not going to match what your mind says. That's the one you want to go with. This, this is not the time to listen to your mind, okay? Listen to your feelings, listen to your intuition in your heart. Yeah, balance. Come back into balance. When you can be in a neutral, balanced space, you will make the best decisions. So some of you need to ground. I know the weather is chaotic right now. Um, you might want to invest in or research, look at investing in grounding sheets or a grounding mat. That way it doesn't matter what's going on outside, you can ground in your own house and bring that balance to you. Discipline. What have I been saying this whole time? Discipline, discipline, discipline. You need to discipline your mind, not allowing it to go to the shadow side, to altered ego. Yep. All right, guys, I hope this helped. As always, I am sending you oceans and oceans of love from my heart to yours. Aloha, aloha, aloha. Bye-bye.
