Your Healer Guides surround you and lovingly embrace your momentarily injured spirit. They want you to recognize that all attacks, betrayals, or injuries you’ve suffered (whether they were through the unconscious behavior of others or through your own misunderstanding or poor choices) have left you psychically wounded and fragile. It’s no wonder your guard is up! It’s difficult to trust even yourself at this time, but you must. And the only way to do so is to stop blaming yourself or others for what has occurred, and forgive all the way around. Learn from your experiences, and strengthen your boundaries and judgment.

All human beings make grave, and sometimes terrible, mistakes. It’s not your fault that you feel violated; it’s a lesson to learn from. Nor is it weak to acknowledge that you’ve been hurt. Denial may serve you in the midst of crisis, but it only handicaps you if you stay mired in it. Admit to your injuries and disappointments, and allow the nurturing forces of your Healer Guides to step in now. They’re able to soothe your soul and reweave your aura with their loving light and nurturing forces. Trust their influence by dropping your defenses and acknowledging your wounds. They urge you to seek support from capable, caring professionals who can help you learn from these disturbing experiences and show you how to prevent them from occurring again. Their message: “The danger has passed; you are safe. It is time now to heal and learn from your experience.”

Your sexuality is awake and on fire, and your lustier appetites are in search of satisfaction. You’re attractive, seductive, and powerful, and a “green light” of availability to a sexual partner is flashing. This is what makes the world go ’round, and nothing is more intriguing and exciting than your life force asserting itself. The key to enjoying this fiery essence is containment. You must control and direct your life-force energy rather than allow it to control and overwhelm you. Otherwise, you can become mindlessly addicted to your senses, which can be debilitating and enslaving.

Delight in your sensual self, but be discriminating about where it leads you. Use your judgment. Raw life force is best partnered with reason and the greater force of love to bring you to the heightened state of ecstasy you seek. Trust the sensual goddess Aphrodite as she unleashes your passions, but respect her as well. Her message for you: “Use your fiery passions creatively, not destructively.”

Although no one likes to admit it, we all have our dark sides and shadows—those less-than-flattering facets of our personality that take delight in abusing and shaming others and wielding power in the most unfair ways. Whether it’s the condescending remark to the slow-moving grocery bagger at the supermarket, the aggressive hand gesture directed toward the meandering driver on the road, or the belittling comment made to your uncooperative child, many of us are guilty of hurting or deriding others at times.

Your Divine Healers are present now to help you witness your shadow, lovingly making you aware that it’s actually contempt for yourself and your vulnerability that fuels such hostility toward others. These gentle but powerful higher forces surround you in love and urge you to accept and embrace your weaker aspects, rather than harshly rejecting yourself by attacking those aspects in others.

Ease up, and be more tolerant of yourself. If you do so, these shadows will give way to light and healing. Your Divine Healers’ message: “Ask for help and accept our light.”
