The Empress

My card for yesterday... (taken from facebook)

The Empress
She embodies all that is nurturing, clean and wholesome. Her powers resonate from her drive to create and care for life on a grand scale. She is in tune with Nature’s rhythm and realizes that life’s most pleasurable moments often stem from the simplest things. She is not afraid to enjoy herself and let loose, even to the point of being lavish. Abundance and luxury are important to her. The Empress is completely comfortable with her femininity and her sexuality. She is sensual, earthy, generous and likes the good life. Still, her driving force is a need to create and nurture, and fulfilling this need overrides everything else.



This is spot on for me and the day i had yesterday!

I splashed out and had a pregnancy massage from a complete earth angel... and an unexpected one at that!

A couple of weeks ago, I was referred to go to a 'pregnancy massage guru' and got a spot with him for yesterday. That in itself was lucky as from what I understand, he mainly teaches massage and doesn't do all that many himself.

I arrived at 1:30pm for a 1-1.5hr massage. We got talking about EVERYTHING and i ended up leaving just before 4:30pm! Wow is all i can say... not just about the massage though! I'm thrilled to have this man come into my life, and don't know how meeting him will impact on my journey but know there's something hatching.. and get this... He's a massage therapist of 10yrs who teaches all walks of massage, he's a counsellor, a qualified beauty therapist, a brazillian waxing instructor and most amazing to me... drumroll... he is a DOULA! WOW! We were on the same page completely with regard to women/pregnancy/birth/spirituality and it was such a JOY being around his energy and chatting with him about all we were both passionate about. Was one of those conversations that whenever it ended it was going to be too soon.

The massage was completely sublime too! lol! At the end of the massage, he placed one hand on my heart and the other on my belly. I felt a pulling sensation from my heart and he said "Your heart chakra is buzzing so beautifully". I queried what he was doing to make my heart have that pulling sensation and he said he was connecting my heart chakra energy to my baby. Bub responded with a couple of kicks... just beautiful stuff.

I left there feeling so Feminine, Powerful and Honoured and really aware of how much I need to stay present to and enjoy each moment of this pregnancy... rather than letting it go on auto pilot like i do at times. Each moment of creation is a blessing and i have a renewed sense of gratitude for the role I am playing as a nurturer in my baby's life.

So my focus today is Honouring and being appreciative of this power. I am grateful for the way so many things going on in my life right now are related to birth and women and creation... and the people in my life are all connected to this part of my 'being'. Thank you angels!
