Love Changes Your Journey
The Lovers Card changes the heart. It can change who you are, where you go, and how you see the world. It points to a relationship or meaningful love affair, not just a fling.
Appropriate words here: attraction, desire, passion, love, soul-mate.
This is a choice. When an important choice needs to be made, the Lover’s Card is all about relationship, mutual respect, love, and decisions.
When you choose an action or thing which speaks to your heart, you learn more about yourself.
Archangel Raphael figures prominently in the Lovers Card which focuses on love and choices involving healing and forgiveness. Love is an inward journey which is Archangel Raphael’s specialty. When your life focuses on love, Archangel Raphael will help you clarify your thinking, and make decisions. Archangel Raphael helps you see life’s endless possibilities.
Forgiveness cannot be ignored here. It is said that the Lovers Card changes the way you love. This includes forgiveness – a life-changing event on one’s journey. Raphael is definitely a master of healing love.
The Lovers Card uses cooperation and working with others in achieve a goal. The Lovers Card is about attraction of any kind, not just romance.
Harmony, cooperation, and unity are essential ingredients when a group of people work together to pursue a common goal. This involves making a decision based on your long-term future.
People are attracted to beautiful things or become involved with people having inner radiances and wonderful souls. They choose what resonates with the soul.
STORY
Whatever happens with the Lovers Card, when it appears in a spread, I’m reminded it is important to read the Tarot in at least a semi-private location.
A tourist came to my table at the Mower’s Meadow Flea Market one afternoon. Not alone, her spouse, several children and what appeared to be extended family members accompanied her.
When she sat at my table and shuffled the deck, I good-naturedly reminded everyone that they could visit the other booths in the market while I read her cards.
They moved over and shopped in another part of the flea market, but not before her spouse saw the Lovers Card. So here I had a group of people, some of whom got the glimpse of some, or all the cards, and a spouse who was quite interested in her spread on the table.
The man returned several times with questions of his own. He returned with questions even after everyone moved on to other areas of the flea market.
On another occasion, and at another spread, I saw the Lovers Card. This lady was caught between men – her spouse and his best friend. I did not want to see this in the spread as I knew her spouse and realized that he owned guns. She had a secret to hide.
I didn’t want to see this secret either.
The Lovers Card spells trouble for anyone caught in two relationships.
Unless there are difficult cards in the spread, the Lovers Card is a wonderful indication for a relationship. Especially if this pair is in the opening phase of the romance. The long-term options for this relationship are another matter.
Sometimes the Lovers Card strikes fear in someone’s heart. I saw this in a man so in love with a woman that he was afraid to reach out – even to touch her elbow with a fingertip.
But, the Lover’s Card can mean other choices entirely: a new career opportunity, for example.
If you are not embarking on a new romance, you may be making an important decision about an existing one. You may be conflicted about your feelings where choices are likely to be put to the test because you are at a crossroads. Ideally, this choice is a commitment to an important path.
Love heals. Look closely at the Lovers Card. Archangel Raphael, with his magnificent wings and halo watching over all. Archangel Raphael is important – along with Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
Early Christians believed Raphael appeared to the shepherds at night telling them of the birth of Jesus. Because of this, Raphael is considered the head of the guardian angels.
Whether it’s a romance choice or a career choice, consider all the ramifications of the situation. Consider what is at stake and then ask: “Is the choice I make going to bring balance and peace?’ It’s time to use your heart to decide. This is a growth opportunity. You may meet new people and choices.
Consider the outcomes of the several different options you may have. Find the most harmonious decisions for you and for everyone around you.
When it comes to the Lovers Card, as in other areas of life, everything boils down to choice. Each choice invariably has consequences, some of which are long-term. A person’s relationship reveals how a person sees oneself.
All love brings lessons. Consider the consequences and rely on your higher guidance.
Use this card to reconcile inner conflicts as you reach conclusions and make them work together.

Who am I? What do I really want? Is it Even Real?
Sometimes the question is this: “Who are you in this experience you call your life?”
With all the choices available, how can you turn imagination into action?
Today, you have many opportunities: Money, power, relationships, dreams, aspirations, secrets, solitude, projects, career, love, and secrets.
Are you at a point where your path will continue and be healthy? The challenge is to choose your way.
This can overwhelm you. Do you remember what happened to your early intentions? You are living the experience of being at a crossroads, unable to choose from the many options.
You may feel that if you choose the wrong path, you will detour on your way to your goal. Maybe you shouldn’t even choose from the options you’ve identified so far. Maybe the choices are only going to lead you further astray.
Your potential lies stuck somewhere in the middle between your choices and your intentions.
Underlying all of this is your fear of success which is scarier than failure. You may not know why you don’t allow yourself to express your unlimited potential.
A question for you: Where are you right now?
Then: What is real and what is imaginary?
Finally: Where are you going?
Your heart knows the way.
DO THIS:
Ground yourself with Reiki
MEDITATION:
Go to a quiet, safe place. Choose a space where you can feel comfortable letting go of anything standing in the way of you and your soul.
Take some deep breaths now. Inhale and exhale while you are breathing in healing and exhaling toxins and fatigue.
Begin to let go of everything you no longer need. Let go of what no longer serves you. This includes worn out memories, hurt, fear, negativity and everything you need to get rid of.
Be aware of releasing physical tensions as well as anything standing in the way of knowing who you are and what you stand for.
As you exhale, you are getting rid of old tensions, discomfort, and pain.
As you inhale, you draw in everything positive that you need.
After a few minutes of this breathing, you sit quietly with your feelings and situation. You close your eyes.
After a few moments, you open your eyes and see that you are in a garden. You notice how perfect everything is. The plants are all perfectly chosen and are all in just the right place. You are in the midst of beauty and calm. There is a gentle breeze. You enjoy the aromas of the plants and flowers.
You see a small cleared space in this garden where there is an inviting chair waiting for you to enjoy. The cushions seem to call out to you. You approach the chair and get comfortable in it.
Sitting in the chair, you notice a pathway leading to the edge of the garden.
Somehow, you know that this is a path you are invited to take.
As you walk on the path, you come to a mirror hanging on a branch of a large, beautiful tree.
You look in the mirror and see your own reflection. You feel, as you see yourself in the mirror, connected to your past – your present – your future.
You see yourself as loving and knowing. The answers too all your questions are in your heart.
You take a moment now to feel your connection with all there is. This feeling blends with the air and atmosphere in the garden.
You begin to realize that this moment is blending all you know with a newness. You feel fresh – renewed – and bright.
This garden is helping you connect to all you know as you breathe deeply – exhaling and inhaling.
The feeling is freeing – supporting – knowing.
You know now that it is time for you to return to your day. You can return to this place any time you want. or need refreshing.
Now – after a moment – you slowly move your muscles, open your eyes, and continue on with your day.

The Second Chakra and Reflexology
The second Chakra reflex point is located on the lower half of the instep on both feet. This is where the intestines are located. It’s also where we find the kidneys and the sexual reproductive organs.
Second Chakra issues include
letting go
elimination
release
support
rigidity
finances
relationships
sexuality
control.
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO LEARN ABOUT SECOND CHAKRA ISSUES WITHOUT QUESTIONING.
What issues are draining you?
Can you let go of negative feelings when it’s necessary?
What feelings are you holding on to?
Are your relationships supportive?
Do you feel financially supported?
Are you centered?
Are you open to positive change?
Are you addicted to pleasure?
How can you ground yourself?
Are your boundaries rigid?
Guilt is a second Chakra issue. At one extreme, there is the danger of becoming overcome by fear. At the other extreme, the person may become hedonistic.
If you and/or your client partners want to be healthy, it’s important to have a balanced second Chakra. Centering is the operative word here. When a person centers the second Chakra, a sense of self is discovered. When this center is found, it becomes a place where we can merge with the world as we express our emotional, creative, spiritual, and sexual selves. For me, a centered second Chakra is sacred.
As with the first Chakra, Reflexology for the Spirit sessions offer homeostasis which is the balance of all body systems.
Reiki therapy sessions balance the Chakras.
Meditation can also be important here. The goal is to meditate on a centered state. In the process, you’ll develop a positive energetic, emotional, and physical sense of self. That is what the second Chakra is all about – living successfully with one’s self.
It’s easy to tell how centered the second Chakra is by observing the lower back. Lower back pain indicates a need to center the second Chakra.
Physically, the second Chakra governs:
the bladder
kidneys
lower back
sex organs
intestines.
When you work with your client partner’s second Chakra, you offer the opportunity to help him/her find the self. It’s in the second Chakra that we find a sense of emotional balance and self esteem. A balanced second Chakra brings a person home – home to Creation itself.
