21. Open The Floodgates (from the Oracle of the Mystic) 

When I allow my cup to be filled

Opening myself in trust and surrender

To all the love and gifts the Divine wants to put into me

Once I am still

Once I am willing

Once I give in to being the grateful vessel

It all flows in

Impossibly potent and pure

And my cup quickly runs over

With nourishing, replenishing divine waters

Full of abundance in every form

For me and all who are connected to me

Flowing in a miraculous infinite current of love

That nothing by my own effort was holding back.

Any adjustment you make to your life —inside or out — that is kinder and more compassionate to YOU is self-care. Many times, the greatest act of self-care you can do is saying “no” to something someone else is asking you to do that you just don’t want to do. Eliminating the “shoulds” that are dominating your time and energy and choosing what’s right for you instead can be the most self-loving thing you can do.

If you’ve pulled this card, you are being guided to:

Look for any ways love flows in effortlessly to you without your own effort

Practice self-care by making adjustments that are kinder and more compassionate to yourself

Say “no” to things you don’t want to do and eliminate “shoulds” that dominate your time and energy

Consistently choose what is right for you as an act of self-love
