May 2012 – Teaching What We Need To Learn – Interview Series Invitation

tarotreading.com — Tue, 01 May 2012 22:00:29 +0000

HELLO EVERYONE…

I’ve been on a spiritual trip lately… a lot of it virtual. I have just come
from week one of The Tapping World Summit and now, having experienced EFT fully,
I’ve begun a new series. The Teaching What we need to know series starts today,
May 14th, I’m sure it will be enlightening and invigorating, please join me…

I’m excited to let you know about a unique online interview series called Teaching What We Need To Learn: Leaders in Personal Growth and Spirituality Share Their Own Innermost Challenges.

You can tell by the title that this is not your usual teleseminar. The series creator and host, Raphael Cushnir (www.cushnir.com), envisioned a chance for we teachers to reveal our own everyday vulnerabilities in a way that having to be the “expert” doesn’t always allow.

I wholeheartedly invite you to sign up, listen, and add your own voice to the dialogue. To get started CLICK ME

Raphael sees a vital purpose in such transparency. It helps us all remember that everyone is teacher and student both.

When teachers hide behind authority, claim any form of special attainment, or otherwise create the impression that their students are somehow “less than,” everyone suffers. Likewise, when students put their teachers on pedestals, the chance for true transformation ultimately comes crashing down.

Teaching What We Need to Learn stems from the principle that there’s a field of awareness beyond projection – either positive or negative – and beyond comparison as well. This field is where we actually live, love, heal and grow.

The more honest and open teachers are about how we live, and especially about when our lives are stressful and challenging, the greater opportunity we have to support our students.

Such openness begins and ends with emotional safety. This series is all about that, and aims to inspire it in listeners as well. Our ultimate hope is that engaged listeners turn into active way-showers, modeling safe, skillful transparency in their own personal lives.

Another appeal of the series is the simple sweetness of meeting your favorite teachers at their most human, hearing not just about their past trials and triumphs, but also about where they’re called to stretch right now. As you may gather, this often allows for lots of humor.

Tuning into the series is also a wonderful way to find new teachers that you resonate with, since altogether nearly forty will take part. They come from the realms of spirituality, psychotherapy, relationships, meditation, nonduality, yoga, and social activism. The participant list includes:

Don Miguel Ruiz, Byron Katie, Harville Hendrix, Daniel Siegel, Terry Patten, Tara Brach, David Richo, Seane Corn, Peter Fenner, Thomas Hubl, Reggie Ray, Ram Dass and Lama Surya Das.

Brought to you in partnership with Sounds True, a pioneer in transformational multimedia, the series begins on May 14th and continues through the summer. You can stream and/or download each interview from the time of its release until the series concludes.

Blessings…

RUTH

P.S. The series is open to the public, so please share this with anyone you think may benefit.

Actual TarotReading.com Chat Room Session – Thursday, March 1, 2012

Ruth	*	OK, so let’s start with the broad strokes.
		No, let’s begin with some concrete data and then move back to the more emotional stuff.
		Your last court date is, if there is such a thing, the perfect day to get divorced.
		So, let’s hope that the date is firm. Because it’s a wonderful time for you both to get some closure and feel that you have gotten the best you can get from this chapter that you are now closing in your lives.
Mark		Marie and I? As far as the closure?
Ruth		Your ex… Marie is conflicted about the end of this relationship and frustrated that she hasn’t gotten emotional closure, but she’s ready to move on. In fact, she’s moved on by appearances.
Mark		She has let herself go as far as appearance is concerned. I think she still continues to drink.
Ruth		As I said, as far as dates for the final blow to the relationship, the date is a very good one. You will actually be surprised by how good she looks.
		There’s a lot of emotional stuff here, but it’s clear that you need to move on and focus on your life.
Mark		Absolutely.
Ruth		So… another suggestion, and it’s a strong one, is to introduce Melissa to your family in [MONTH], specifically [DATES].
		With [MARK'S SISTER] and she getting along the best.
Mark		Okay. Have to work on that one. We were planning a trip sometime in [SAME MONTH]
Ruth		That is just a stellar time for her to “meet” the family. Both of you will shine on those days and therefore seem as a couple right as rain.
Mark		I’ll mark that on the calendar…
Ruth		The cards spend more time talking about Marie than they do about Melissa.
		What the planets and stars do say about you and Melissa is rather broad.
		For example, she is prone to falling or thinking that she is falling into a rut. While she’s usually optimistic, when the pendulum swings she’s very pessimistic.
Mark		That is so true.
Ruth		Hence the frustration with you… who needs a lot of time to make decisions and a lot of time alone.
Mark		When I’m around her, I don’t long to be anywhere else.
Ruth		You are a great listener… so in a lot of ways you are perfectly matched.
		She needs to vent and you need to listen, it’s very good for her when she’s feeling stressed.
		But again, you are very honest about your emotions but you take a much longer time to get to them.
		If you just understand that about each other you will get comfortable with the fact that you will encounter this again and again.
Mark		She has complained about a “wall” between us and says that there is a part of me that she can’t reach. I haven’t figured out what that is.
Ruth		There is a saying “the first fight you have will also be your last” or something to that effect.
		You simply have to explain to her that your emotions are not as accessible to you, not as on the surface as hers appear to be.
		You are a classic slow burn.
Mark		Hadn’t thought of that approach
		That’s right on the money
Ruth		Things look to be very good between you now.
Mark		I sure hope so. I’m very much in love with her.
Ruth		The cards say that despite those differences in approach to intimacy you are very much in love, and very complimentary to one another.
		You bring out the best, how can I say it, you compete with yourselves and each other to be the best you can be for yourselves and each other.
		It’s a very good match.
Mark		That’s good to know it hasn’t changed since the first reading.
Ruth		People have to learn how to be together.
		And honestly, you needed to get some distance from the divorce.
Mark		She tells me that I worry too much at times. I’m just afraid of losing her sometimes.
Ruth		Well, let’s discuss that. As it’s a touchy thing for me to bring up and might seem to you that I’m encouraging you to be inauthentic.
Mark		The divorce is just a financial equation to me now. As in how much support and for how long.
Ruth		The financial thing is not going to be quite as good as you hoped, but once again, it will be fair.
Mark		I can handle fair.
Ruth		Back to Melissa…. you do worry too much and the cards want to remind you that you should not share that with her.
		You are projecting that fear of loosing her onto her… seeing things that aren’t there, taking things too seriously.
		It is VERY important that you experience more of your feelings with regard to her internally.
Mark		That’s right on the money.
Ruth		She can not be made to feel cautious about your feelings when you are in most cases simply over – reacting.
		So, I’m not telling you to be dishonest, not at all. I’m just telling you to let those bits of insecurity stay within the confines of yourself.
		If you make them her problem, then they will become THE problem. That is your cross to bear, loving her so much you want to smother.
Mark		That’s what I’m afraid of, and at one point she did say that she felt smothered.
Ruth		When you look at your watch, an it’s five seconds after the last time you looked at your watch… you must RESIST the temptation to look.
		You know five seconds has passed, you don’t need to check.
Mark		Good analogy
Ruth		So as with her.
		She loves you… but you can exhaust her if you need to check the time every five seconds.
		And honestly, you don’t need to be confident to seem confident. It’s like dress for the role you want not the one you have.
		Ironically, once you stop being needy, she will be the one who’s wondering what you’re thinking and how you are feeling.
		Let her have a turn.
Mark		I guess I have to learn how to stop the neediness.
Ruth		You don’t have to learn, you just have to stop.
		Because it’s about you, it’s not about her.
		Again, don’t make your problem her problem.
		You can fix it, ignore it and it will go away, AND you’ll still be where you need to be on time.
		This is part and parcel of what we were talking about earlier. You have got to sit with your feelings a little bit.
		When you think… does she love me this second, ask yourself, deeply.
		There is a lot in there, if you need to learn anything it’s how to strengthen the muscle that brings the deeper the KNOWING feelings to the surface faster.
Mark		Keeping things suppressed for so many years hasn’t been helpful. A bit of unlearning is needed.
Ruth		Great observation.
Mark		[OMITTED]
Ruth		[OMITTED]
		But yes, in the span of this reading the cards see a great time for love.
Mark		Understood
Ruth		It’s like everything else, you are compatible, but you are only getting better at loving and accepting one another’s quirks.
		I hope that answers things for you, and I’ll email you a transcript in an hour or so.
Mark		Yes, it certainly does. Thanks!
Ruth		Best….-Ruth

I’m a huge fan of Facebook, so I wanted to test my skills and ask the cards about their upcoming IPO, the money matters associated with it can be challenging for the cards:

Given that aces sprang out of the deck in three very important positions, it seems that Facebook will be facing tons of new beginnings over the next year. Many to “like”

The cards like to focus on personal matters more than business ones, so when you try to read a business you typically have to follow the thread of the CEO or another figure to get a sense of a larger picture (see, corporations aren’t people, Mr. Romney). For this reading let’s focus on Mark Zuckerberg the founder of Facebook to get the full story.

The cards want to delve into his personal life, his feelings surrounding how he’s been depicted in the media and in the movies, the huge amount of uncertainty around his romantic life… and here you have to feel so sorry for the guy. If he and his current girlfriend are indeed on the rocks, how will he avoid the pack of gold diggers waiting?

But again, we’re not reading him , let’s turn the focus to his company and the slow process of coming to the conclusion it was time to trade publicly (and his brilliant strategy to turn everyone away at the door until he got exactly what he was looking for. This is how he will solve his romantic woes as well, he will wait until everything feels just perfect). The slow decision process was followed at dizzying speed once the decision was made. Like everyone was racing to get it all in place before he changed his mind. Then, I look at opening day, weeks and months out; the value remains very strong. Everyone will be talking about the incredible fairy tale success the company has been met with so far.

It will be a true game changer, amazing, and then, like everything after it hits a peak, it sees a valley, tries to avoid it, but falls into it anyway. The media and people in general will gleefully report on this correction, that reversal of fortune, all the bad news no matter how small. On an esoteric level the cards dig down into how our egos love to hear about the failures of others, our egos love bad news, competition and chopping down the tall poppies. It’s our challenge not to heed naysayers, to hold on to faith in low times.

Facebook will recover from business, financial, and personal issues through hard work and the spirit of teamwork. The lesson here, is that missteps are unavoidable, but keep on stepping… even when you are undervalued, overworked, and getting only the worst kinds of attention. Like a lot of dreams born in dorm rooms, this one keeps recurring.

Facebook will have a great IPO, then a correction in a few months, see a lot of criticism, experience a lot of anxious changes, but victory is assured. Now, follow your dreams!
