Our chosen careers are a major part of our lives; after all, when we work, we spend at least 1/3 of our day at a particular location or engaged in a particular activity.
When COVID-19 hit and lockdowns began, this meant different things for different people. Some were able to transfer their work to their home. Some still had to risk going into an office every day. Others were put on furlough, or lost their jobs entirely. Depending on where you are located in the world, unemployment benefits may or may not have been enough if you were not working. Regardless of what situation applies to you, a large number of folks began questioning what they had been doing every day—after COVID, do I want to do more of the same? When the bustle of commuting every day dies down, you may start to question where you are, and whether that is where you want to be. When things return to “normal”, do you want to go back to the same routine?
I get this type of question from clients all the time. I handle this question by looking at several factors in a full Liminal Reiki and Guidance session:
Horoscope: what are the factors present in the client’s chart, both using Western (Tropical) astrology and Vedic (Sidereal) astrology? A lot of information can be gained about what that person’s chart is oriented toward career-wise. Additionally, for those over the age of 35, I can look at the Navasma chart of the person in the Vedic system, which shows where they will end up in life.
Self-Assessment: I have the client fill out a brief career assessment test, as well as answering some questions about their perceived strengths and weaknesses, and what they are most passionate about.
Tarot Career Assessment: Using Tarot cards, and perhaps other systems if I feel they are helpful, I do a career path reading to see how the client is doing in their situation now, and what might be changed, or what future career might hold interest for them. If they have a particular career change in mind, we look at where that path might take them, and what the advantages and disadvantages would be of the change.
Tarot Balance Assessment: This is a reading that looks at the various energy centers of the body, and shows areas where the person is mentally strong and excelling, and where they may be less secure and need some work to get into balance.
Reiki session With Essential Oils: Whether in person or via distance, this session provides mental and physical balance for the person; clear decisions cannot be made from a place of imbalance. The client relaxes while I begin the session and do a Reiki scan, which helps me identify blocked areas. After sending the Reiki energy, I will use essential oils on the blocked areas to enhance the rebalancing process. I will choose the oils based on the Reiki scan, and what I think the client needs. If this is done over a distance, I apply the oils to myself as a surrogate and send the energy.
Session Assessment and Wrap Up: After the Reiki session, I talk with the client about their experience, and I tell them what I gained from my own scan. Based on the information I get, I will recommend a follow-up course of action, which might include daily meditation, journaling, and/or a specific to-do list to research their next moves.
Subsequent sessions would include Tarot updates, further Reiki sessions, and follow-up on the results of the prescribed course of action.
