Autumn’s Invitation – The Art of Surrender

I recently had a chance to gather with our beautiful Sacred Witness Oracle Circle for a group meditation centered on giving ourselves permission to come into stillness. It was such a powerful call that a few insights and a daily practice came through that I wanted to share with you!

Seeing Through the Eyes of the Soul

One of the cards that came forward was the Soul Medicine of Sight. When this card comes forward, it invites us to notice how we are “seeing” ourselves, others, and/or a circumstance. The healing power of this card is that, through this awareness, it reminds us that we can have different levels of “sight.” 

It shares a practice to help us shift from how we might personally want to see, hear, feel, and think about what is happening in our lives, or how we have been conditioned to do so. From there, we can begin to sense, see, hear, feel, and perceive through the eyes of the Soul or our impersonal self.

Key highlights of this card’s invitation are to help us compassionately remember:

• We do have habitual ways of “seeing” ourselves, others, circumstances, and events.
• Often, these ways of seeing are heavily burdened by the past and our attachments to how we personally felt in those circumstances.
• Those attachments influence the level – tribal, personal, or soul-level – at which we are willing to see, hear, and feel the different types of guidance available to us.
• When we recognize the different levels of sight within us, we can access clearer sight. This connects us with the inner wisdom of our Soul, guiding us toward new thoughts, ideas, and choices we might have overlooked when caught in our habitual ways of being at the tribal or personal levels of sight.

This card also invited us to explore how, when we come into stillness, the medicine of Soul’s Sight is always there to meet us. It can help us navigate what we are “up” to and see where we are caught in old ways of seeing that keep us from being with ourselves, others, and what is happening now with greater ease and faith.

A Practice for Letting Go

In this vlog, I explore one of the main stumbling blocks to opening to clear sight: our willingness to let go of our attachments to what we think should be happening or needs to be happening. I also share a simple yet powerful reflection practice you can turn to in those moments to help break out of that crazy-making feedback loop of struggling to control.

I hope this vlog and short guided meditation support you in opening to the different seasons you find yourself in with more ease and inner trust, instead of the dance of internal struggle.
