Break Free Of All Of Your Inner Constraints

Our Divine Download for January 4, 2024 is Constraint/Nauthiz from The Rune Cards. The necessity of learning to deal with severe constraint is the lesson Nauthiz teaches. This Rune represents the obstacles we create for ourselves as well s those we encounter in the world around us (Hint: there tend to be more of the former than the latter!) Both can be equally as difficult to handle. The role of Constraint is to identify the shadow, our dark and repressed side, places where growth has been stunted, resulting in weaknesses that are often projected on to others. Do not take this world personally, this Rune is saying: work with the shadow, examine what in your nature attracts hardship or misfortune into your life. When you can look upon the Rune of Constraint with a smile, you will recognize the troubles, denials, and setbacks of your life as your teachers, guides, and allies. The need for restraint is unquestionable here. Drawing this Rune indicates that there will be holdups and reasons to consider your plans carefully. There is work to be done on yourself. So take it on with good will and show perseverance. This is a time to pay off old debts, to restore, if not harmony, at least balance. So mend, restore, redress: when fishermen can't go to sea, they repair their nets. Let the constraints of this time serve you in righting your relationship to your Self. Be mindful that rectification must come before progress. And, as always, consider the uses of adversity. You can be your best friend, but you have also been your harshest critic and greatest enemy. Constraint puts you on notice that it is time to quit those negative manifestations of the shadow side of yourself. You've got to much to do to keep yourself down in that way.

If you are feeling Constraint, and you are not sure where it is coming from, your energy could be out of balance. An Integrative Reiki Session will serve to balance your energy and remove any potential energetic constraints. Schedule Your Integrative Reiki Session TODAY: Book Your Session HERE!
