Great Progress is Always Preceded by Doubt + Daily Runes

There's no shame or guilt in taking some space

This weekend was hard. The Full Moon on Friday hit me right in the chest and on Saturday, I had to perform a Rune reading that was quite heavy. I've been exposing myself to a lot of dense energy lately as a way of connecting with larger groups of people, most of whom will never know who I am. In fact, the people I've known for years is also mostly oblivious about what I do and the feeling of inadequacy, the sorrow for not being able to participate in their lives and for their absence in mine, has been weighing down on me. On top of that, my nephew's presence in the Olympics has both been a source of excitement and confusion for me, because I've been mostly out of his life and it feels strange to start following his career now, I've wondered if I really deserve to be glad for his success. This community has also been experiencing changes that I don't feel involved in and I've been reconsidering my approach to this platform as a whole, thinking that it may be time for a short hiatus from content creation.

None of that is unexpected, I've been actively developing my personal Authority and training other aspects of my psyche for the tasks that I know are coming my way, these are the prices that I must pay. Still, when these threads conjoined yesterday, they led me to a breakdown. Fortunately, my friend Rebeca in Argentina is always ready to help and she'd been through a Yopo ceremony the night before, so she was in excellent standing to help me. With her company, I was able to figure out why exactly I was experiencing this: she'd left that ceremony with the idea that we must direct such events ourselves at some point in the near future and I agree with her; I realized that I've been dealing with massive amounts of global connections as a way of getting comfortable with handling the energy of many simultaneous channels. In essence, I've been overexerting myself so that I could effortlessly manage smaller amounts of open channels.

If you're going through severely stressful times at the moment, you should question why. Perhaps you're taking on too much, even things that don't belong to you. Perhaps you're assuming responsibilities well beyond your ken, or have convinced yourself that saying no is a kind of failure. Be it as it may, it's important that you meditate on this, because chances are you're needlessly pressing yourself to achieve some distant, nebulous goal, or to support people who should be taking care of their own business. There's also another aspect to consider: what have you learned during this time? What tools have you obtained while investing your energy in this way? Maybe you're more capable than you think you are and it's a given that you can drop some of your loads. Call your energy back to yourself and reflect on this, all hard tasks demand dedication and effort often awaken doubts, hesitation. Make a serious, intense, intimate review of where you're putting your focus, get rid of as many burdens as you can without guilt or shame, and you'll start to see just how powerful you truly are.

I see my nephew as leader, directing his teammates toward victory.

Train your body, increase your strength and agility, express your power and energy tangibly. Others see from you only what you reveal in the exterior, show yourself without shame and with decision, exhibit your capabilities. Prepare your strategy and arguments to ensure the position that you desire, seek always the advantage but accept the limitations. Choose your tools well, do not make greater efforts than necessary, approach challenges with efficacy and intelligence. The main obstacles for your progress have been weakened, but do not delay in breaking the barriers or they may be reinforced. Grasp the opportunities firmly, do not get distracted, determination is crucial. Sharpen your senses, a single detail might make the difference between failure and success, even between various degrees of achievement.
