Unlocking Your Soul’s Key: Letting Go & Embracing Power
Excerpt:
Ever felt like you’re digging your spiritual well, only to see it dry up? Caroline Myss’ insights on surrender, power, and divine balance challenge us to move beyond the need for control. Explore journal prompts and deep reflections to align with your soul’s truth.
(A Personal Journey with Journal Reflections)
Dear Journal,
Today, I’m diving deep into the teachings of Caroline Myss, particularly her thoughts on power, surrender, and why we often struggle to accept life’s mysteries. She references St. Teresa of Avila, who teaches that once we begin our spiritual journey, we feel an irresistible pull toward our inner selves. Yet, we also resist, trying to do things on our terms. But can we dictate how divine wisdom unfolds?
The Illusion of Control
Teresa’s concept of “digging our spiritual well” resonated with me. We believe we can access spirituality on demand, safely and controlled. But Myss warns that these wells dry up because we approach divinity with conditions. Accurate spiritual flow isn’t rationed—it’s an overflowing stream when we finally surrender.
Journal Prompt #1:
Where in my life am I trying to control the flow of spiritual or personal growth?
My Reflection:
I see this pattern in my business. I want success, but only in ways that feel safe and predictable. Yet, my most profound growth has come from the moments when I surrendered and trusted my path, even when uncertain.
Seeking Logic in a Divine Universe
Myss challenges our addiction to logic. She points to the Book of Job, where God asks, “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the universe?” The message? The world doesn’t operate on human fairness or our expectations. Our insistence on justice and explanation can lead to suffering—sometimes even illness, as unprocessed anger and resistance fester within us.
Journal Prompt #2:
What’s one situation where I keep demanding fairness, and how can I shift my perspective to acceptance instead?
My Reflection:
I often struggle with comparing my efforts to others in the tarot community. It feels unfair when I see people gaining success with less depth. But if I shift my focus from fairness to faith, I realize my path is about purpose, not comparison.
Power: Internal vs. External
A striking idea from Myss is that power isn’t about external control but internal mastery. She describes how we give away our power daily—to fears, people’s opinions, and even scams (like the story of her mother nearly falling for a fraud). The real test? Knowing when to hold onto our power and when to release it.
Journal Prompt #3:
Where have I unconsciously given my power away? How can I reclaim it?
My Reflection:
I’ve let fear dictate how I share my tarot insights, worrying about judgment. But true power lies in being unapologetically authentic. Today, I commit to sharing my wisdom without hesitation.
Closing Thoughts: The Key to the Soul
The biggest takeaway? Balance is the key. Not fairness, not certainty, but balance. If we stop demanding life work for us and instead learn to move with it, we unlock the soul’s valid key.
Final Journal Prompt:
What action can I take today to align with divine flow instead of resistance?
How I Outsmarted a Scammer—Using My Psychic Abilities
Dear Journal,
After my 97-year-old grandmother almost got scammed, I wasn’t just angry—I was determined. I knew I couldn’t let this scammer walk away thinking he could do it again. So, I did what any self-respecting tarot reader and intuitive guide would do: I turned the tables.
Confronting the Scammer
After confirming it was a scam, I called the number back. He answered in the same fake professional tone.
“Hello?”
I pretended to play along. “I have the money. Where should I send the payment?”
He took the bait, eagerly repeating his instructions. I let him ramble, gathering as much information as I could. Then, I shifted the energy.
“I know who you are.”
Silence.
“I know where you are. And I know exactly what’s coming for you.”
He tried to brush it off. “What? I don’t—”
I cut him off. “You’re dealing with the wrong person. I’m a renowned psychic. I see things. I feel things. And right now, I see your future—it doesn’t look good.”
The energy shifted immediately. He stammered. “W-what are you talking about?”
“I see your name, your face, your location. The universe doesn’t take kindly to what you’ve done. Karma is already moving in on you. You might not feel it yet, but trust me—you will. And when you do, you’ll remember this conversation.”
The Scam Ends Here
I let the words sink in. I wanted him to feel the weight of what he had done. Then, I delivered the final blow.
“I’ve already reported you. I’ve already warned others. Your days of scamming vulnerable people are over.”
He mumbled something unintelligible, then hung up on me.
Taking It a Step Further
But I wasn’t done. I:
- He reported his number to the police and fraud agencies.
- Shared the scam alert on social media and community groups.
- I educated my grandmother and her friends on spotting scams.
- Warned local businesses like Target so that they could flag unusual gift card purchases.
Journal Reflections & My Answers
Journal Prompt #1:
Where have I given my power away through fear or urgency? How can I reclaim it?
My Reflection:
This experience made me realize how easily fear and urgency can strip us of power. My grandmother was scared, and that fear almost led her to make a devastating decision. The same happens in my own life. There have been times when I rushed into things—whether business opportunities, relationships, or even daily choices—because I felt pressured.
I’m learning that true power comes from pausing. When I take a moment to breathe, assess, and trust my intuition, I make better choices. Moving forward, I will reclaim my power by practicing discernment before reacting to fear-driven situations.
Journal Prompt #2:
How have I used my intuition and skills to protect myself or others?
My Reflection:
I’ve always believed in the power of intuition, but this situation was a real-world test. I didn’t just read tarot cards or interpret symbols—I used my inner knowing to protect my grandmother. When I called that scammer, I could feel his energy shift. I knew he was thrown off balance, scared even.
This reminds me that my intuitive gifts are not just for personal insight; they are tools for protection and empowerment. I want to lean into this more—not just in crisis moments but daily life, guiding myself and others away from potential harm.
Journal Prompt #3:
How can I strengthen my ability to pause and discern before reacting?
My Reflection:
In the past, I often felt the need to react immediately to situations. If someone said something hurtful, I had to respond. If an opportunity arose, I had to jump on it. But now, I see the power in the pause.
One thing I’ll start doing is checking in with my body before making a decision. If my heart is racing, my breath is shallow, or my stomach feels tight—those are signs I need to step back. Meditation and tarot readings also help me see things clearly before acting impulsively.
I’m learning that wisdom doesn’t come from rushing; it comes from stillness.
Journal Prompt #4:
How can I use my knowledge and experience to empower others?
My Reflection:
This experience made me realize how much people need awareness. My grandmother didn’t know about this type of scam, and I wonder how many others don’t either. That’s why I took action—not just for her, but for others who might be vulnerable.
I feel called to share more of my intuitive insights in practical ways. Maybe I can start writing about spiritual self-defense, teaching people how to protect themselves energetically and practically. I can also talk more about trusting your gut—whether in business, relationships, or everyday life.
My knowledge isn’t just for me. It’s meant to be shared.
Final Thought: Intuition is Protection
People often underestimate psychic abilities, but in moments like this, they’re a shield. Whether reading tarot, sensing energy or simply trusting your gut—your intuition is your most excellent protector.
Final Journal Prompt:
How can I strengthen my intuition to protect myself and others?
My Reflection:
I want to build a stronger connection with my intuition to recognize warning signs even earlier. One way I’ll do this is by keeping a "gut feelings journal." Whenever I get a strong instinct about something—positive or negative—I’ll write it down. Later, I’ll go back and see how accurate it was.
I also want to work more with protective tarot spreads. Maybe a daily one-card pull to ask, what do I need to be aware of today?
The more I trust my intuition, the sharper it becomes. And the sharper it becomes, the safer I—and those around me—will be.
