Accessing the riches within was a concept that came to me in my own Year Ahead Reading. When looking for guidance for my Tarot journey, the cards led me to seek the understanding of what riches we have within.
What we inherit naturally.
Previously, when I thought of “riches”, I have associated it to cards like The Empress, 10 of Pentacles, 9 of Pentacles. Money and luxury cards. However, that is not what the Tarot is guiding us to. The real riches exist deep within.
People who tap into their internal wealth are the same people who manifest easily and are able to create their heaven on earth.
We all have been told that “all the answers are within” and I’m sure, like me, you were frustrated by this type of guidance when we have wanted the answers NOW. I have personally been on the other side of this when the cards have not given the answers to the client. I see on their faces the disappointment and frustration but I must remain true to what the cards are telling me.
As a society, looking within for the answers is not our “go to”. We seek external validation, support & direction before we even think to tap into own internal wisdom.
How did we get here?
To simplify the answer, we collectively struggle with self doubt and low self esteem that has come from generations & generations of trauma, scarcity and religious dogma.
This shows up as us not being able to trust our own thoughts, guidance and judgement.
Low self esteem can lead to unhealthy levels of self consciousness or a negative self concept. Examples are this are;
Abuse of your body because of how you see it,
Entering into relationships that are bad for you because you don’t believe you are lovable or worthy of love,
Not going for the job because you believe you are not capable enough.
Getting addicted to the likes on your IG to build self esteem.
However, to reach Self Realisation, we have to look within, without and beyond….
Self Realisation it is the fulfillment of yourself through the fulfilment of all your capabilities & strengths.
So what are the riches within?
Our inherited treasures consists of time, talents, energy, creativity, material wealth, unspeakable joy, unconditional love and peace beyond understanding
We owe our whole life to what we have within.
Many will never understand and experience true wealth as they seek all from the external.
It breaks my heart when you don’t ask for more and settle for less especially when deep down, you know you are able to call in the more.
Because of a lack of faith in ourselves, in the Divine and in the future, we stop on our paths to self realisation too prematurely.
I am eternally grateful to the Tarot for showing me what I have within and how I can build outwards with it. Of course, I seek validation from the people around me and my surroundings. I match this up to how I am feeling inside and what I an intuitively thinking.
So how do you access the riches within?
Honor Your Intuition.
This is the most important as your intuition is your access point to the Divine. It is the communication channel between you & God/Source/Universe.
Strengthening your intuition takes practice but like a muscle can be built.
Understand What You Are Naturally Good At.
We all have a plethora of talents and capabilities. Accessing them and cultivating them is our birthright.
Never ignore what comes naturally and easily to you.
I challenge you on this full moon to write down 10 things you are naturally good at (and let me know what you come up with).
Honor Time.
Our society is fast and tends to dictate how we use our time.
Come back to yourself and choose how you use your time. I like to do a weekly planner so I feel a control over where I put my energy.
Time for me is the open space to create and manifest. Don’t subscribe to the beliefs that you don’t have time. I believe that this collective thought is to stop us accessing all our riches within by keeping us distracted and in a hamster wheel of chasing whatever is external to us.
Protect Your Energy.
To me all of what is internal is sacred.
Our thoughts, our emotions, our perceptions….true intimacy is allowing someone a view into what is inside you. This is why I take Tarot seriously. The vulnerability you show me when I pull those cards is something I hold close to my heart and protect.
I want you to do the same for yourself. Protect all what is precious within you.
Be Creative!
This is not limited to the arts but can be how you look after your home, how you choose to pass your time, the original ideas you have, your ways of looking at things, how you approach your career and so on….
It’s limitless and so are you.
Choose Love.
And when you don’t feel it….choose compassion.
How will you access your riches within?
Love this!
A thoughtful and timely read. Thank you!
