This is what liberation looks like.
Symbolism
The Tower – protection
The Explosion – lightning has struck
22 Drops of Gold – destructive firestorm or grace
Lightening – for good or ill
Flames – destruction
Tilted Crown – loss of self-importance
Black Sky – loss of the horizon

Getting to Know the Tower
The Tower is dreaded and often misunderstood. You’ve been stopped on the spot and are now in the midst of huge shift. It’s time to change the way you have been living.
When some kind of upheaval or collapse from an outside source occurs, you have a chance to rebuild your life. This event, while disturbing or even traumatic, is your opportunity to change. While you cannot avoid the event, you have been given a gift to move on to a better place.
Know this: The system, building, or relationship that collapsed wasn’t working very well to begin with.
Look at it this way: The disaster you’re looking at is no longer sustainable. This event was coming. For all the confusion and stress, you are at a moment in time of liberation. Go for it.
Trust this: Your event is happening for a reason. Bring on the resurrection!
Because this is a moment of awakening, take a few days to figure out the best way to move forward.
It’s time to find your new place – either physically or spiritually or both – if progress is a goal.
You may think you’ll never recover – but you will. Think of it this way: You’ve just been liberated. Caution have been thrown to the winds and your boundaries are exploded.
This is your time of personal development, happiness, and spiritual growth.
Accept this powerful event. The benefits are real even though you don’t yet understand them. It’s time to rebuild! Align and stay in the present tense.
Story
About the time Nixon plotted Watergate, my husband Tony found, and married a really cute little nineteen-year-old in a whirlwind romance. When this happened, I was upset.
After a few weeks, I realized I was young and felt my daughters and I would be better off in Texas anyway. I put Jennette, Michele, and myself and the clothes on our backs aboard a green bus carrying people, chickens, and pigs. And, actually, it was pretty easy to leave the cook books, the furniture, and china behind. We headed for San Antonio, Texas, and I never looked back. In Laredo, we switched to an American bus without the farm animals.
While I packed my daughters off to Texas, my Mexican in-laws rejoiced. They had a few parties to celebrate my departure. After all, I just wasn’t the right person for them. I didn’t drink enough and didn’t gamble at all.
And, in my heart of hearts, I never figured a Mexican divorce to be worth the paper it was printed on. Why should I even bother?
Decades later, I look back on this phase of my life and believe I did the right thing. I brought my daughters back to Texas and raised them as Americans. This was important to me and was probably my primary reason for returning home.
Energetic Balance
In the midst of a Tower event, check in with yourself. Ask yourself: How are you doing? This is also a good time to practice some slow, relaxing, rejuvenating yoga. The idea is to keep your muscles calm. Take yourself outside every day, even for a few short breaths.
Meditation
Go to your safe, private meditation place. Sit in a comfortable place where you keep your spine straight, and your shoulders relaxed. Your feet make contact with the earth, and allow the chair to support your body.
Close your eyes. Focus on your breath. Begin to relax as you breathe in and out. Observe your breath as you inhale and exhale.
You inhale and exhale more deeply. As this happens, your breathing becomes deeper, slower.
As you inhale and exhale, move your breath to focus on other body parts. As your breathing moves to different body parts, you find tension. Wherever you find this tension, exhale the stress.
As your attention moves to your arms and hands, you inhale in appreciation for all they do.
Your arms and hands relax.
As you focus your attention on your shoulders and neck, they relax. Breathe in appreciation and breathe out stress.
Take a few in-and-out breaths as you enjoy this relaxation.
Focus now on your chest area. Inhale gratitude for your heart and lungs. Exhale stress, tightness.
Move on to your abdomen. Encourage it to soften. Exhale deeply as this happens.
Notice your buttocks now. Breathe in relaxation. Allow toxins to release. .
Send gratitude to your legs, thighs, knees, lower legs, ankles. Appreciate the work they do today as they carry you where you need to go.
Focus on your feet and toes now. Send gratitude to the many bones and muscles in your feet and toes. Acknowledge the support they give and the work they do.
Encourage your breath to scan your body, removing any tension that remains. Let each breath relax you more and more.
Finally, focus on your mind and emotions. Notice your burdens: your activities, your work, your errands, your cares. As you exhale deeply, allow them to dissipate and disappear.
Send these burdens on their way.
You are in your present moment now. You are in the here and now. You feel lighter, refreshed, relaxed. Your body and mind feel free now.
Take a few inbreaths and outbreaths now. Move gently now. Let your body stir.
Open your eyes now. Look around.
You are now ready to move on in this day.

When Belief Becomes an Experience
The Hierophant shows up in your life when you become personally aware of God. The Hierophant offers spiritual growth, a starting point for when you realize all your questions don’t have automatic answers.
You initially seek out a Hierophant to learn, receive sacraments, therapy, and for marriage counseling. This instruction connects you with traditional spiritual beliefs. The Hierophant shares spiritual wisdom and unlocks mysteries.
When you study with a teacher, mentor, priest, or therapist, the Hierophant helps you explore guidance on the spiritual meanings you find in life. The Hierophant understands your higher nature, an essential element of spiritual healing. He helps you deal with old wounds or trauma you experienced in a situation that no longer works. The Hierophant offers the experience of organized religion.
When studying with the Hierophant, expect to be honest with yourself and others. Expect to be responsible for your own actions. You should be exposed to traditional attitudes, ideas, and methods.
Expect to find the Hierophant in a community church, temple, or congregation. You will find a higher purpose represented by organized religious, philosophical, educational, and spiritual institutions.
The Hierophant is powerful. He shapes who you are and what you will become. He tells you what your world looks like. The Hierophant presents his students and clients with a choice. You will build a foundation focusing on history and tradition
Through his teachings, you will come to accept your own spiritual beliefs and truths.
Through the Hierophant’s teachings you begin to know your own spiritual beliefs and truths. You may see a need to learn from the more orthodox experiences.
If you feel disconnected from faith altogether, the teachings of the Hierophant can be comforting during difficult times because of his offerings.
When you go to the Hierophant, he passes down spiritual wisdom and unlocks mysteries, religion, rites, dogma, and doctrine.
This is a meaning-of-life experience.
STORY
I met the Hierophant when I was in Austin, Texas, and engaged to a Catholic man. I was preparing to experience life in a different way:
I certainly wanted things to work out right because this was my M.R.S. degree in action. So, I met with the Catholic Priest in Austin, Texas.
“You’ll need to convert to Catholicism before the wedding and you need to take marriage classes. You can practice birth control for a year to solidify your marriage before the children start coming.”
The young priest was definitely the Hierophant in my life. I received marriage counseling, life guidance, the sacrament of Baptism, and learned everything he had in his training manual to become a successful Catholic wife in Texas in the ’60s.
There does not always have to be a Hierophant as a go-between to embark on a spiritual quest but this slight young man in a black cassock took his job as a guide to help me in my journey into spousehood and motherhood seriously.
This Hierophant/priest felt his connection with traditional spiritual belief was crucial to my success. His job was to pass down spiritual wisdom and unlock mysteries for me.
I came away from those sessions believing that the family is a spiritual unit and that one was to engage with and interpret the sacred for my children. The young man in the cassock and I dealt with the importance of education, indoctrination, and spirituality in my family.
He taught me to be aware of a larger, mysterious order of things that sometimes exceeded our control. He explained that I didn’t have to fix every problem in life that I might encounter.
FOCUS IN
Journal about a time when you did what was expected of you.
MEDITATION
Find a safe and private space.
Get comfortable now; the goal is to be so comfortable that you can become unaware of your body.
Take a deep breath. Hold it for a moment and then release it. Repeat this several times. As you exhale, you release tension. Continue this until all the tension is gone and you are relaxed.
As you continue breathing, you see a light coming toward.
As this light approaches, it surrounds you and the space where you are meditating. It further relaxes your entire body – relaxing your muscles. Every muscle and nerve in your body relaxes. As your muscles relax, stress is replaced by a light.
This relaxing light fills your muscles, nerves, and energy with love – the love of God for you and your love for others.
This light protects you from negativity and harm. This light becomes a wall of protection surrounding you.
When you include your friends, relatives, and loved ones, this light protects them also.
This light sends love as it shines through. Physically, mentally, and emotionally, this love shines on.
As you feel relaxed, you are protected, healed, and loved.
Now, slowly, you begin to return to the awareness of now. You feel physically, mentally, and emotionally relaxed.
Your muscles and nerves are relaxed, loose, and refreshed.
You open your eyes and look around. You know you can return to this space any time you want.

The Seventh Chakra and Reflexology
The seventh Chakra reflex point is on the tips of the toes. This is where we find the hair, the brain, and the central nervous system.
Seventh Chakra issues include:
living in the present
selflessness
non-attachment
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO LEARN ABOUT SEVENTH CHAKRA ISSUES WITHOUT QUESTIONING:
How can I release cravings?
How can I open myself up to more intuitive thoughts?
How can I see the world as manifestation of the divine?
How can I manifest the divine?
What is my world like without the limitations of the body?
How can I become more aware of multi-dimensional reality?
What direction do I want my future to take?
How can I awaken my spiritual potential?
How can I achieve success in all parts of my life?
As a person seeks wholeness and enlightenment, the Chakras build on one another to allow the flow of universal energy. Blockages in 1 or more of the Chakras make this flow difficult to impossible. A seventh Chakra issue is the (in)ability to be non-attached.
When non-attachment cannot happen, the person gets stuck in a belief system which may not work. Then, that person finds him/herself putting a lot of energy into justifying the dysfunctional system. The lesson is to learn to move on to thoughts and beliefs which work. This allows universal consciousness to grow and mature.
Symptoms of an unbalanced seventh Chakra include
chronic migraine headaches
drug abuse
spiritual extremism
denying the body some of its basic needs
compulsive behavior
rigid beliefs.
A balanced seventh Chakra combines all the senses as they work to create a connection to the infinite.
Reflexology for the Spirit sessions offer homeostasis which is the balance of all body systems. This is extremely important for the spiritual growth experienced in the seventh Chakra.
Reiki therapy sessions balance the Chakras.
Meditation helps keep the seventh Chakra balanced. Regular meditation on the senses is important. It is also helpful to meditate on the different colors of the Chakras.
When you work with your client partner’s seventh Chakra, you help him/her find enlightenment. A balanced seventh Chakra becomes a ladder to awareness of divine consciousness.
