Creating Your Inner Sanctuary

 Welcome to the Soul Unscripted blog. This blog serves as a space for self-discovery, empowerment, and community. It’s a space where you can tap into your inner strength and potential.

As we finish up the overarching theme of "Treasures in the Shadows: Stepping into Alignment." This post's theme is Creating Your Inner Sanctuary.

 

We will continue to build on the previous three focus cards of Will-O’-Wisp, Deep Diver, and First Breath, and the clarifying words of treasures hidden in the shadows, the great mystery, epiphany, success, diving into a task, embracing risk, new discoveries, beginner's mind, a fresh start, renewed curiosity, and natural trust.  We will journey deeper with these cards to continue answering the questions: “What will help us this month to release what no longer serves us and step into greater alignment with who we are and who we are becoming?”

 

The main focus card for this post is from The Shaman’s Dream Oracle deck: Stranger.   The clarifying words from this card are the Other, moving past fear or differences, curiosity, and acceptance. I also used the Native Spirit Oracle card as a clarifier: Wounded Healer.

Curiosity is a key word for me. There’s no one right way to create your own inner sanctuary. My main focus is on how my sanctuary makes me feel, and I decorate it based on those feelings. I invite you to feel the energy of the word curiosity. For as long as I can remember, I’ve paid attention to words. But since the beginning of this year, I have not only thought about the words I say, but I also feel and embody the energy of those words.

 

You might ask, "What does that mean?" For example, when I feel into the word curiosity, I ask myself what it feels like to me. It brings up different feelings. I think of my cat watching the birds play and talk in the yard, and how curious she is. Curiosity, to me, has a feeling of humor, of being inquisitive, light, and free. It also makes me smile because I know it might lead me down an unknown path. There will be future posts on this topic to explore the frequencies of words. For now, when you feel into the word curiosity, what does it feel like to you? What other words make up the feeling of curiosity for you? 

 

The Wounded Healer card adds another layer to creating your inner sanctuary. Most people have emotional wounds, whether from childhood or other life events. Some people believe that the greatest healers are those who have gone through hardship and survived, or who were wounded and then healed. It's believed that these individuals can offer great comfort and bring about profound healing for others. You can add this healing energy to your inner sanctuary. I have set the intention that my inner sanctuary holds healing energy that helps me heal emotional wounds from my past. No matter what happened, it doesn't have to dictate my future. You have this healing energy flowing through you as well.

 

As we finish our theme of "Treasures in the Shadows: Stepping into Alignment" and the question, "What will help us this month to release what no longer serves us and step into greater alignment with who we are and who we are becoming?" I invite you to give yourself grace, be curious, and be willing to take a risk. Dive into the task of looking inward and make your inner sanctuary a place that feels good to you. Love yourself. You are loved.

 

As always, take what resonates with you and leave what doesn’t. Although I used cards to help focus the messages in this post, I rely on my intuition more than anything else. So, you don’t need the cards to do your own deep dive. However, if the cards have helped you, I invite you to sit with them yourself and notice what comes up for you. Your intuition is a powerful guide, and your practice should reflect your unique path. Be curious, stay open, and let the cards and your intuition speak to you in a way that feels most true to you.
