Navigating the Astral Realm

Your emotions might be doing more than you think. When you miss someone and they suddenly reach out, when a dream feels too vivid to shrug off, when a “gut feeling” lands like a message, I see those moments as clues that the astral realm is already part of your life. I break down what the astral plane is, why it can feel disorienting for beginners, and how intention moves through this subtle layer of reality to create real world ripple effects. 

We start with the unglamorous truth: safety first. Grounding and anchoring matter, protection matters, and discernment matters, because the astral realm includes supportive beings and energies that can confuse or drain you if you wander in unprepared. 

From there, I offer a personalized route in through tarot, using four animal totems to help you find your best approach. Panther points to intuition, hypersensitivity, and protective strength. Scorpion highlights heart led manifestation and the need to balance love with logic. Dolphin speaks to communication, playfulness, and learning to trust your inner justice. Owl calls out creativity, hidden magic, and the support your spirit team is ready to give. 

Then we move from theory to practice with a guided light code activation and shamanic totem journey. You’ll enter a safe inner landscape, connect with your chosen power animal, and receive impressions through images, feelings, or body based knowing. I also share ways to integrate what you receive throughout the week, plus options to practice with community through Patreon and a companion app beta designed to make spiritual and mindfulness practices easier to use in everyday life, including for neurodivergent brains. 

If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s astral curious, and leave a review so more seekers can find us. Which animal did you choose, and what message did you get from the journey?

Welcome And Realm Series Overview

SPEAKER_01 0:20

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Rainbow's Rising, where we ascend together. I'm your host, Rainbow Raja, Shammanic, Bodywork Therapist, and Life Coach. And here on Rainbow's Rising, we explore the inner and outer realms, worlds, and practices that help us become masters of our reality. So I welcome you here into this space. This month we are covering the astral realm. We've covered the physical plane and how to get a handle on mastering manifestation, how to find purpose in our lives in this corpse form. We have explored the fairy realm, which is a realm that overlays our physical realm, but allows us to interact with nature spirits and fairy-like energies, beings, etc., that are just beyond the veil. We have explored the Akashic realm, which is a space of universal consciousness that we all can tap into, and we learned how last month. And now we're exploring the astral realm, which is the realm in which we allow our spirit to traverse. There's a lot of information out there on the astral realm. A lot of people will just say it's where ghosts live. Some people say that's how you dream. But there's a lot more to the astral realm than is commonplace for most people to know about.

What The Astral Realm Really Is

SPEAKER_01 2:13

The astral realm is where our emotions and intentions get directed into for cause and effect to happen on other levels. So, for example, if you have love and good feelings for a friend and you miss them and you're thinking about them, you're thinking about all the fun times you had with them, they might suddenly feel like calling you. They might feel like reaching out to you and saying, Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been? And it's because they felt your energy through the astral plane. The astral plane is where our souls meet, where our souls will seek out certain things, gifts, experiences, information, and bring it back into our corple form. It is like a dream realm. And when we are dreaming, we are in the astral plane sometimes. Not all the time. Sometimes it is just your subconscious, but sometimes you are actually traversing the astral realm. The astral realm is not limited to our planet, and it is not limited to what we see here because there are many layers of our planet in the astral plane based on how people experience the plane of existence. So the astral realm or plane can become very convoluted and disorienting to novice practitioners.

Safety Warning And Protection Basics

SPEAKER_01 3:58

I encourage you to please tread carefully in the astral plane. This is our monthly warning because the astral plane does host both positive beings and beings that may not give you the best experience. And so it is best that we go into this space or interact with this space with a higher level of discernment and a higher level of protection entering into engaging with the astral realm. We are going to talk about the astral realm in more depth next week. And the following week, you will get practices on how to interact and navigate the astral realm should you want to play around and see what you can do with it. And I will be giving you all the safety procedures and helping you understand the mechanics of the astral realm so you can be safe and ethical in interacting with the astral realm so you can get the best experience possible.

Tarot Intention For Personalized Guidance

SPEAKER_01 5:11

But this week, we are going to be utilizing our tarot reading to see what is the best way for you to engage with the astral realm. Because there are so many different ways to work with the astral realm, but maybe there's a specific type of way you need to work with the astral realm that is unique to you. So I'm gonna go ahead and tune in with my guides and just get a feel for how many different readings I have to pull based on the viewers out there through time and space. Okay, I'm being shown four readings today. So we're we are gonna do four readings to see what is the best way for the viewers to interact with the astral realm.

Grounding And Animal Pile Selection

SPEAKER_01 6:12

So I'd like you to go ahead and close your eyes, feel all the way down into your feet. The soles of your feet. Breathe into the soles of your feet and feel them against the floor. Breathe all the way down. We're gonna anchor ourselves into this reality. Anchoring is really important when working with the astral plane. Because if you don't anchor, you can struggle to bring your entire soul back, and you can get kind of locked out of your body. So grounding this month, especially if you decide to work with the astral plane, really, really, really important. I highly recommend grounding, getting into the practice of grounding. So now that you're grounded and the cards have been pulled, I'd like you to take a nice deep breath into your body. Close your eyes, and I'm gonna name four animals. Whichever one you feel the strongest pull or view the most clearly in your mind's eye, that is gonna determine what pile you get today. So the first animal is dolphin. The second animal is scorpion. The third animal is panther. The fourth animal is owl. Take a moment. Allow whatever animal is speaking to you to come clearly into your mind or be felt clearly in your body. What animal did you pick? If you picked Panther, you are group number one. If you picked Scorpion, you are group number two. If you picked dolphin, you're group number three. And if you picked owl, you are group number four.

Panther Group 1 Intuition And Hidden Magic

SPEAKER_01 8:49

Let's dive in with reading number one. Group number one. The cards are showing me that you are naturally intuitive. You are someone that is able to really look at the bigger picture, observe from a distance, and decide what path to take. Decide how you want to proceed. And with this card, I I see you kind of marking, like you're gonna be very good at anchoring into your body and being able to travel and journey into the astral plane. So I see you having a very powerful. I mean, we started with Panther, and look at the first, we have a lot of cats here in this card. We have three cats at the bottom with the two of wands, and you have this giant lion here that the quarrant is sitting on. So you have this adventurer on top of the lion. This tells me that you are strong, courageous, intuitive, but you also are marking your territory and surveying the land before moving forward. So maybe with this podcast, you're listening and you're like, hmm, I don't know. Let's see what happens. So because you are intuitive and cautious, you also know how to sit in your feelings with the Page of Cups. The Page of Cups is someone who knows how to really reflect. They are very self-aware. They are someone who is able to tune into energies in different ways that maybe other people don't. You might have a very strong sense of smell, you might have very vivid dreams or very vivid recall of memories because of your hypersensitivity in regards to energetic imprints, being able to utilize that sensory experience that you have in the three-dimensional plane, and start to learn how to correlate it with how you navigate the astral plane. That is gonna give you an advantage. It is gonna help you discern things a lot easier. Being very in tune with your body, being very in tune with the smells that come up, being very in tune with the feelings that arise when you're interacting with things in the astral plane. And remember, being in the physical plane, you also are interacting with people's astral bodies and any beings that maybe accompany them. And so if you happen to meet someone and they have a very strong scent, even though they look clean and you're like, oh my goodness, it's not body odor. I smell something different. I don't know what it is. Sometimes we can pick up on the smell of spirits if we are very, very sensitive, hypersensitive in interacting with the astral plane. And for me, I have had clients come in and I can smell entities on them. And I'm like, I know what we're covering in today's session. So just start paying attention to what you pick up, especially in meditation, especially in your dreams. If you are tasting things in your dreams, if you are smelling things in your dreams, if you are able to feel sensory information in your dreams, you are most likely someone who is hypersensitive in the astral plane. And you can utilize that information in the physical realm to get information on the astral realm as well as go into the astral realm and bring that information back to the physical realm. That is gonna be really, really good for you to practice and master for your specific type. And because you are someone who is like we have all this very strong cat feline energy, so much cat feline energy, a lot of fire coming through. You could be a Sagittarius or a Leo or Aries with all this fire energy coming through with the wands. And then, of course, we have that cups card. So with with who you would, the power you would step into if you harnessed your astral abilities properly, you'd be harnessing the power of creation, the power of leadership with the King of Wands. You would be a force of of lighting the way for others. And you would be able to really guide positive spirits with this card. We have this man standing in the center. He's got a lion staff, he's on top of a lion statue, and there's these lion spirits that are like like flying around all around him. And what's so beautiful about it is because we're working so much with the astral plane this month, it's like affirming how connected to your spirit team you can become. And this this orb of fire is representing like the power that you can bring back from the astral plane into the physical plane. So you started out with these, with being on top of this, this lion with three cats. So it's very, very basic. You've just you know, you've got your your main spirit animal, you're on the spirit animal, you're ready to venture forth, and by the end of it, you have all of these invisible helpers that are bringing you power, that are bringing you strength, and you have stability, and you've anchored that stability with you know your main spirit animal. So, because we talked about Panther being your spirit animal today, let's talk about what Panther means. The spirit of Panther. The animal totem, power animal, Panther, is about hidden magic, hidden mysteries, and hidden power. Panther is a very powerful protective totem. When working with Panther, it is a high defense animal totem. It is very protective of the people it works with. And the people who work with Panther are usually working with hidden magic, they're working with kind of shadow darkness, like entities or darker realms. They're usually having to go into dangerous realms and they have to protect the innocent, they have to protect the weak. They have to go into those realms and like defeat the monster. So I see you as you're high, you already are someone who can traverse the realms. You're highly sensitive, hypersensitive. And if you can harness your sensitivities and learn to discern and learn to really be still and go into the astral plane and actually do some astral projection or astral travel, if you can be adventurous with how you start to interact with the astral realm, you will become this strong master of power, of guidance, of protection. You'll be the light that leads people out of the darkness. So, what does that mean for you? So, so I pulled from the first deck I'm using is the Shadowscapes Tarot deck by Stephanie Puman La. And the second deck I'm using is Mystical Shaman Oracle deck by Roberto Villardo and Colette Baron Reed and Marcella Lobos. The Mystical Shaman Oracle is to help you determine what you can do with this information, and it is telling you that you have so many paths you can take. You can become a spirit walker and go into hidden areas of the astral plane and help innocent spirits who got trapped and are stuck between transcending to their next reality and incarnation and being trapped by lower vibrational spirits. Maybe you want to go in there and you actually like are like, hey, I have so many creative things I want to make, but I don't really know how to do all that. So you go into the astral plane and you go and you get you craft all of the things you need for the physical plane, you craft it all in the astral plane, and you can bring it back. And suddenly you'll just wake up one day and be like, I know exactly what I have to do. And you'll just start doing it because you already did all the inner work to be able to manifest that. Maybe you're someone who's like, you know, I want to go into the astral realm and I want to make like friends with other humans. I want to connect to other shaman. I want to be able to like build a community and we can work together in this realm. Whatever, whatever the path is, there are many paths, many paths to take. I have my own deck that I made. They are my my hand-drawn deck for working with shadows, different medicines of the world, and light codes, and they're there. It's a channel deck that I created. So I pulled two cards from that, and what came up is this is what you are going to, this is like kind of like what is hidden from you is that you are connected to the entire universe. You have access to time, to space, to everything. You are so multidimensional, and you can travel anywhere that you want, that you have wings. You see how this little alien has wings. For those out there listening to the podcast, there's like a picture of Mayan Temple on one side and pyramids on the other side, and there's a little alien standing on a portal, and he's spread out, and he has all of the elements floating around him, and he's inside this like geometric shape with these astral wings flowing behind him with his mind connected to the with this card. This is about how multidimensional you are and how you are so interwoven and interconnected with everything. Now, the warning is that you can really get in your own head and you can isolate yourself and maybe maybe you don't trust yourself so much. This card is the card that I have for like when we allow ourselves to sink into depression or sink into self-pity, sink into like that that like sadness, that darker place in our hearts where like we can't even really see how beautiful life is, and like it's outside. So this card has like a little girl in a corner crying, curled up in a ball, and outs, you know, she's in a dark room, and outside the sun is shining, and there's green hills, but she can't see them because she's got hair in her face and she's crying. So I feel like what is being shown to you is you have so many paths and opportunities for you. You have a lot of strength, you're very intuitive, you have a lot of capabilities, but you are very highly sensitive. And maybe because this card is coming up where you are overwhelmed and you're having to withdraw, maybe you're you're an empath, and you haven't learned how to separate your energy from other people's, and there's a lot of energetic bleed. So practicing how to how to preserve your own energy, get familiar with your energy, and how to anchor into your energy and Fill your whole body, your whole being, and carry that with you into the astral space, that is going to give you a lot more confidence with taking up the mantle of your own power. And so this month, if you are someone who really does struggle with seeing your own power and being able to separate other people's emotions and their problems and their situations from yours, and you take on too much and you find yourself having to withdraw from the world because you get really overwhelmed and overburdened by other people. Please reach out to me. I would be happy to work with you on that. In the meantime, there are episodes here on the podcast where you can explore that for yourself.

Scorpion Group 2 Heart Led Manifestation

SPEAKER_01 22:45

So, group number two. Your animal was Scorpion, right? So we have Scorpion. Scorpion is such an interesting animal to come up. And before I even flip these cards, because they are face down right now, scorpions are considered this terrifying bug. They are, I don't even think they are a bug, but they are poisonous and they're scary. They've got their pincers, they've got their poison in a tail, and they are once again another fire, fiery animal, but they are about protection and looking scarier than you actually are in order to protect yourself. Because scorpions are actually like really kind of weak. Like they they can't do much. If if you if you like pin their tail back, they're pretty harmless. My aunt had a house in Arizona when I was little, and they had scorpions in their house all the time, and they were just like, Yeah, that's totally normal. Don't worry about that. Uh, it can't hurt you. And I remember being terrified of these scorpions, and they were like this bit, you know, they were about like three inches, and then they'd grow to be like five inches. They were so big. And I was so scared as a little girl. But my aunt was so unafraid of them. She said that they're pretty harmless and they're not gonna do anything with you if you don't mess with them. Just like bees. Bees have stingers, yet so many people are afraid of them, even though they barely ever attack. So, taking a gander, I guess. What could this mean for you? So let's start with the main reading. You have the world, the eight of wands, and the ace of cubs. A lot of fire for both you and Panther group. The world. You are really a humanitarian. You really care about people. You care about people. You have a big concept of what you think the world, like the perfect world would be. You make a lot of wishes. You make a lot of wishes with the Eight of Wands here for the betterment of all. Making wishes, having high hopes, doing visualizations of what you hope the world will be, you are seeding the future. That is what I see for you. You guys are very strong manifestors, strong creators. You are the people that are you are crafting the world in the astral plane through your hopes and your dreams for what you want for everyone. And we have the Ace of Wands, which is you know how to take action. And I think when you start to work with the astral realm and you start to understand how your spirit body, your astral body, and how how free it can become in the astral realm, and how even staying in your physical body and sending intentions into the astral realm, how much that will affect and the ripple effect it creates, the serendipities and synchronicities that come from that, you are going to feel a lot more confident placing blessings into the astral, taking more action, being more involved in the astral than you currently are. Because it seems like because you are, you've got the world here. So you're very much of the world. You're a very present person. You are someone who, you know, you're not you're a dreamer, but you are present, you like to sit outside in the grass and think presently. You're not, you're not someone who's who's watching TV, zoning out and kind of like in the ether that way. You're you're someone who's very involved with your life, and you get your intuitive connection uh with the astral plane through being present in your life. And that is how you are sending these well wishes, these hopes, these dreams, these manifestations that you want for yourself and for others into the ether is because you're out here living life. And as you're living life, you're having gratitude, you're being grateful, you're like, oh man, I'm so blessed. These people around me are so great. I'm hoping for this for them, I'm hoping for that for them. And because you're sending those wishes out, those things are gonna happen in the astral plane. But as you interact with the astral realm, you are going to learn how to take more action and have a stronger impact in your own life and in others. Now, the card that I pulled for, well, what can you do with this? Look at that. You care so much about other people. You've got the beloved, you've got the beloved. The beloved is all about unconditional love. Your heart is your superpower. How much you love other people, how much you love, you probably meet demons and you're probably like, I'm gonna love them to the light. And you you do it. You love those demons straight into the light because you have such a pure loving heart. Being able to love to that extent and to wish well for others without becoming envious, without becoming kind of resentful that you're not where they are, that is challenging. Not a lot of people can do that. And so hold on to that. Hold on to the blessing of wishing for others, for loving and cheering for others, loving the world, wishing well for the world. But let's look at maybe what's hidden about your ability. What do you need to know? You need to balance your heart and your mind. You are so much in your heart that maybe you get you get a little lost. You get like this is this is a little card where there's like a little guy floating, his arms are all tingly, he's like kind of losing his mind a little bit. Um, this card is actually for cacao. So I encourage you to work with cacao for opening your your heart, grounding your heart. So you have these are all very interesting, all these heart cards, because you've got, if you look in the cacao card, one of the cacao seeds has a heart in it, and it's about grounding, grounding your heart, anchoring your heart. And then this card, balancing your heart with your mind, is about being logical while you feel so deeply, being able to separate your feelings from what is truly your responsibility and what is ethical for you to do. Because sometimes you can love someone so much and you want to do everything and make their lives so much easier. But when you do things for other people that they need to learn how to do for themselves, you become an enabler. And you learn how to do the thing, but they never do. So if you ever were kicked out of their life, they would be on their own and they wouldn't know what to do. So this month, when working with the astral plane, I think you're going to be introduced to some animal spirits or some guides. And you might explore utilizing your heart and reaching into the astral and connecting with people through that space to help them be inspired to do things for themselves or to be inspired to see life in a in a brighter, better way. So that is what I drew for you guys. I think the reason that Scorpion came out for you, group number two, is I think Scorpion is coming out as a protector spirit for you, teaching you how to protect your heart, protect yourself. And I'm gonna take a moment and I'm actually going to pull the power animal meaning behind scorpion real quick. Animal Spirit Guidebook by Kim Kranz. Scorpion, passionate, competitive, tends towards isolation. The scorpion is a passionate and determined creature. Their career is very important to them, as are a few select friends, but sometimes the scorpions heat, festers, and they focus on an unresolved event from the past, usually a situation where they were left feeling burned. The scorpion card says that it's time to come clean about your feelings so everyone can heal and you can get back to your usual fiery but fun self. When you're in balance, you're wild and free and fierce. When you're out of balance, you're jealous, resentful, and unresolved. How to bring into balance honesty and forgiveness. Don't know if that helps. Maybe it resonates, maybe it doesn't. I'd love to hear from you. Please send me a message. Let me know how these readings are going for you guys. I'm happy to hear all messages.

Dolphin Group 3 Fear Discernment And Justice

SPEAKER_01 32:37

Dolphin. Group number three. You want to know about dolphin? Dolphin is a great communicator. They're very highly intelligent, they're very playful, and they're silly. They work a lot with tones and frequency. They help you learn how to navigate frequency waves. Dolphin teaches you how to make challenging or scary situations more fun and playful and silly. So we are going to go ahead. Let's see what cards come up for you. You've got the Three of Wands, the King of Cups in reverse, the Magician in reverse, and Justice. You have a lot going on in your life. Dolphin people, you have a lot of a lot of big energy going on. You're walking away from something. You're stepping onto a new path. You're trying something new. You're going at it alone. So maybe either you're leaving a new job, or you recently had to cut off some friends, or maybe you had to move. Maybe you just had a breakup. Maybe you left your religion or your church or your spiritual family, and you're feeling kind of lost, but you're also kind of optimistic. You're looking out, you're looking out at the great valley, and you're like, hey, there's a lot to explore down there. So you're you're standing at this precipice of greatness, all on your own. You've got your little kitty cat spirit totem next to you, you're you're ready to go. You're not looking down into the valley. You're looking up into the sky, which is really interesting because this person is at a ledge. There's nowhere for them to go. They can't go down and looking up into the sky. That's not where the view is. They're looking up into the sky because that's where they want to go. The astral plane is up. It's up and out, up and out through your body, up and out above the land. Yes, you can walk along the astral plane. But a lot of people have to up and out of their bodies to get to the next plane of existence. So we have the King of Cups here. This is someone who's closed off from their heart. Someone who maybe needed to be protected but wasn't. This is usually a male figure. This could be someone who was cold, heartless, ruthless, someone cruel in regards to going out on your own. You could be, like I said, leaving a relationship, or usually the King of Cups in reverse is the archetype of kind of a tyrant ruler who doesn't consider your feelings. This could be a father, this could be a boss, this could be an ex-partner. And this is a masculine role, but it could be a female if they were domineering in some regard. Now, maybe how I can interpret this with you entering into working with the astral plane this month is maybe you have resistance to working with the astral plane. With the Three of Wands here, we have crosses. Maybe you come from a stricter religious background, and you would consider interacting with the astral plane as something that is dangerous, that there's there's nothing fulfilling there for you. You have the magician in reverse, so you see it as like black magic. You see it as as something that would be cursing you in some way, shape, or form. But the magician, the magician is not just dark, and they are not just light. The magician is someone who learns to balance the dark and the light. And no matter what religious background you came from, for me, I was raised a Mormon and became an atheist and then an agnostic, and then I just kind of started exploring spirituality. Reiki turned my whole concept of what is possible completely around, and then I decided that whatever I saw proof of, saw evidence of, anything that I experienced directly firsthand through either visualization, um, I had to have people actually confirm they also experienced the same thing. I had to have third parties be my soundboard for me to trust the insights I was getting. So when I worked with my mentors for the shamanic arts, I had to have my mentors confirm that I was not hallucinating, that I wasn't making it up, that it wasn't my imagination. So I had a really high level of discernment when entering into these practices, uh, especially early in my life, uh at 18, into my early 20s, I had a very high level of discernment. Uh, I was really skeptical of a lot of it. And I didn't know how much of it was good and how much of it was bad, but I did know that my connection to what I considered source, God, my soul, um, the universe, it was really pure. I've always had a very pure heart, very pure intention. I've always cared deeply for people. And I know in my heart of hearts that whatever I was um doing, as long as I came at it from a very pure intention, that God would see, He would see my intention. And if I made a mistake and I hurt anyone, that I would be forgiven if I asked for it, if I asked to be shown the way. And God has always shown me the way. And my intuition always warned me before I made a mistake. And there were times I didn't listen, and I stepped off my path for a moment and made a small mistake. It was never intentional, it was always like, well, I feel a little peer pressured into this, I'm gonna do it. You are connected to justice, you are connected to balance, you are connected to what is righteous, what is true. Working with the astral plane does not have to be terrifying, it doesn't have to be dangerous, it is a part of the makeup of this reality. It is part of the grand design, it is a part of the grand plan. If you don't utilize it, you are being being left open to manipulation, you are being left open to the mechanics of it. If you want to stay naive to it, then you will be kind of just swept away by it until you learn it, and that is fine. God's not gonna judge you for that because we're all around here stumbling around in the dark anyway. But this is an opportunity that's being presented to you where you can't really be shown how to balance that fear of the dark with your own inner guidance system and knowing that your intentions, knowing that your power comes from light, that you're that despite how things may look or feel at times, how you navigate yourself with these practices will turn over that powerful uh new path for you, that it will be blessed, that God, God, universe your higher self is giving you an opportunity to transcend mundane life, mundane wisdom, and to see the world through his eyes, the creator's eyes, and all these different layers and like different patterns that life plays through. I'm being shown that if you trust and you allow whatever that spiritual connection point is for you, whether it's your own soul or that feeling of joy, connection to the universe, the Holy Spirit, God, Mother Mary, whatever that is, whatever it is, nature, whatever that governing spirit in your soul is, if you allow that to guide you, you will always stay in balance. You will help balance the world because you will become the scales of justice for others. You will become karma incarnate. That's not always a fun role to play if you don't want it. Sometimes you're initiated into it and you are not given a choice, and you just end up going, well, I guess I've become the karma, the karma land lady. But with that, you hold a very high ranking in spirit, and the blessings can come to you very easily. That you become the creator of your reality because you are able to determine how much good people are giving you versus how much bad people are giving you, and you can walk away from the ones that are not deserving of your energy, and you become highly intuitive through that means where you can start to sense this person has ill intentions from the moment you meet them, you will know. So that can be very helpful. Let's see how you can use this information. Ooh, Pachamama. So you are someone who does connect very, very deeply with the earth, with the cycles of the earth. You communicate with nature. Maybe you're worried that if you connect too much. Much with the ether, you'll lose your ability to anchor into Mother Earth. Mother Earth is looking over you. There's no way. The first card. We've got heaven and earth. You have literally the veil. The veil of the astral plane. This is your consciousness. Your consciousness determines does the dark come into your awareness or does the light come into your awareness? This card can also represent the astral plane itself. Because you can create a barrier where darkness cannot permeate through to your sanctuary. I think through working with the astral, you're going to really learn how to keep the darkness. You're all about being afraid, or maybe not being afraid, but maybe you're weary of doing these practices because you can't tell if they're going to be good or bad, the dark or the light. Like, what if my power is actually bad? What if what if when I get activated to my power I end up accidentally hurting people? What if the stuff that I'm doing lands me in hell? What if what if all of this stuff isn't real and I'm actually a lunatic and it's all just I'm wasting my time and my energy and like what is true and what is not? You are in control of how you decide to interact with this realm. You can either have a grand old time and run around and fly and have fun traveling the world and checking things out, or you can be sucked down by the dark, but you are protected and you will be protected should you decide to traverse those realms. This is the card of safety, of being shielded, shielded in your meditations, shielded and protected from the darkness, from any anything that might manipulate you, anything that might try to harm you. You are swept up. And when I I remember illustrating this card, and I saw this as like golden wings from my angels, like my guardian angels, just sweeping away the darkness. So that was how I interpreted that when I was drawing it. The very last card is like you just putting your hand out and saying, stop. Like you are able to send energy out. Become you can become the judge and jury for for these energies. You can literally stop them in their tracks. So I think you would be a very powerful, very powerful keeper of our realm, being able to stop certain beings or entities or energies from entering our human plane. You become this barrier for them, this earth keeper with the Pachamama card. If you started to work with the astral plane, you would be protecting the realm, monitoring the realm. And that's just an interpretation. Take what resonates, leave what doesn't. That is how we do it here.

Owl Group 4 Creativity Burnout And Support

SPEAKER_01 47:40

So group number four. Group number four. Group number four, you had owl. Owl is a knowledge keeper, like hidden occult magic keeper. The owl hides secrets. The owl flies silently through the night. It is a messenger, a messenger and an omen, depending on what owl you see, what owl you resonate with. The owl has very powerful magic. It opens portals to other realms. The very first time I worked with owl, I called on owl under a full moon because I could hear owls, and I was very new to working with animal totems. And I was sitting in this open space, and the moon was above me, and the stars were above me, and I heard owls. And I was like, okay, owls, show me what you want to show me. And a huge portal opened up in front of me. And I was so afraid. I was so afraid. I immediately like turned, like, I turned around and I just ran out of the open space. I had never seen magic outside of my own inner awareness. Um, and it it freaked me out. But later I returned to work with Owl again after I had built up my own confidence in my abilities and built up trust with my spirit team. And I was able to interact with Owl and actually go through that portal. And when I went through that portal, I was shown and given so much information on how the world was woven together, how these realms interact, all the laws that govern these realms. I've been shown hidden knowledge through working with the owl. So the owl is a very powerful totem for the astral plane. So let's see what comes up for you working with owl. Hmm. You are coming up as the Queen of Wands. The Queen of Wands is someone who is charismatic and creative and passionate and fun. You are the person everybody wants to invite to go out on a Friday night. You are radiating charisma. You may not know it, but when you walk into a room, the energy shifts. People notice you, people try not to, but they do. Probably have a lot of people who look up to you, who watch you. Even if you don't know, they're watching you. You inspire a lot of people. And what's funny is you are inspiring people, and you don't even know, you don't even care. You're just doing you. And you do it alone with the Three of Pentacles. You uh in reverse, you are doing things all by yourself. You are building either your skill set, you know, you're either an artist or a musician or a performer of some kind, maybe social media type of thing, building a business, but you're doing it all by yourself. You don't have people to support you and lift you up and encourage you. You carry a lot of burdens because of that. You have so much weight on your shoulders, you are overworked and overwhelmed. But there's a sense of pride that also comes from being able to carry that entire realm or that not realm. I mean, in the picture in the Ten of Wands, it's it's realm. But you have like this whole world that you carry on your back. But yet when you see people and you interact with people, you keep a smile on your face. You're so lighthearted. People don't know how much you carry. People don't know how stressed you are behind the scenes. People don't know how difficult your life is because you show up authentically, passionately, and like excited to live life when you see people. And it's not putting on a mask, it's just like when you feel stressed, you feel stressed. But other than that, you love your life, you're grateful for your life. You do play a little bit like the martyr sometimes, where you're you kind of throw yourself a little pity party. You're like, I'm doing it all by myself, and it's really hard. I do it too. Don't worry. There's no shame, no shame in trying to help yourself feel better when you're feeling overwhelmed and you're like, it sucks. It sucks to be overwhelmed. It sucks so much to be hanging by a thread and nobody sees you, and you're carrying so much on your back, and no one notices like how close you are to a nervous breakdown. So I want to tell you, in case no one has, like, I'm proud of you. I'm proud of what you're building, I'm proud of all the hard work you put in. I love your creations, even though I haven't seen them. Please come like DM me, like on Instagram. Go message me, show me a picture of your creations. I want to see, so that I can tell you how wonderful you are and that you deserve praise and support. And I I think you're wonderful. And if you don't have a community, come join mine because I'd be happy to lift you up. And if you don't want to, that's okay too. Just know that I I'm here and I I see you. I see how hard you're working, I see how alone you feel, and I see how you're carrying it all by yourself, and you literally are hanging on by a thread. But I want you to notice that in this hanged man card, you you've got like this dryad, there's like fairies, like you have nature spirits all around you who are trying to like lift you up. This one's like giving you like a kiss of life. They're like trying so hard to resuscitate you. Your whole spirit team is right there, so close in the astral realm, waiting to resuscitate you. So let's find out what you can do about it. Ho ho ho ho ho. You hold magic. That's why you're creating so much all by yourself. People are probably jealous of you. People keep trying to discourage you from your magic. People are like, hey, that person is so ambitious, they're getting things done, and I wish I had that kind of ambition. I wish I knew how to build a thing and do a thing and be able to do all the things that they do. I'm I wish I could. Because you hold magic. You've got magic in your heart, magic in in your soul. You're magical. You're the only one that can carry that bird head. You get when you let people get too close, it can be a little dangerous. So, in a way, you kind of are a martyr right now. That's okay. Because we're gonna find out how we can tap into the astral plane and help you utilize it. I think you could really outsource a lot of that. You feel very drained and very unsupported. I think utilizing the astral plane, you'll be able to tap into more magic and more energy and more vitality. So let's find out how. We got some guides for you. We got a medicine, we got a medicine plant. Ooh. Lots of fairy energy here. I don't know if you work with the fairy realm, but if you do, um let's start working with the fairy realm. Go back to uh the fairy realm of this season and practice working with the fairy realm. I think you're gonna be able to tap into some really powerful magic through the astral plane. So we have this spirit of earth. This is like a Tahiti island energy. So this is very like Polynesian Islands, uh, Hawaiian Islands energy. Whenever this card comes up, I always want to tell either my client or um if I'm pulling for myself, this is always a call to go to water and stand at the edge of natural water, not like a pool. Go to like a lake or the ocean and just stand on the edge right before the ocean comes up and listen. Allow the ocean to speak to you, allow the lake to speak to you. Try and find a place that doesn't have a lot of other people so you can really sit and commune with the water spirits. You're gonna want to reach out with your heart to the water spirits and like interact with them. Another thing is we we had Owl as your spirit totem. Look, look, I told that story about looking up at the stars and the moon and the portal opening up. And what do you have? You have a spirit guide who is saying, look up at the moon and stars. We have a gift for you. We have a gift for you. Highly recommend you do that. The the plant medicine that is coming up for you is the salvia flower. So these are they're native to certain areas and regions. I lived in California. This was a native plant to Southern California for me, and it was one of the most powerful uh plants that I meditated with, and I loved working with the salvia flower. And ways that you can work with the salvia flower with the astral plane is you go into the astral plane and find yourself salvia fields. Please always take an animal spirit with you on a journey. Don't ever go by yourself into the astral plane. That's the middle world. We always take our protectors with us. Take more than one if you can. And you're gonna go into the astral plane and you are going to find a salvia field, and you are going to commune with the spirit of that plant. And it really is just a flower. So you can just sit with the flower, feel its energy, ask it for information, for visions. It is a flower that will help you divine information from the Akashic field, which we also covered last month. So but it strengthens your connection and attunement to the Akashic field. Then the very last card that we have is the violet flame. I recommend working with the violet flame to create protection around you because you do have a lot of people who seem to, I don't know, be envious of your magic. Maybe there's a lot of people who want to stop you in your creations. Maybe your creations are meant to help a lot of people, or it's innovative and it's going to change the world in some way, shape, or form. And pretty much you need to protect that. And the fairies are behind you with that. So do a violet flame meditation. You can look one up, or you can directly message me, email me, message me on Instagram, uh, book a session with me, and I'd be happy to uh give you that meditation. I do record all of my sessions, and upon request, I will send you a recording of your session. So that is your reading. So for all of you this month, Panther people, scorpion people, dolphin people, and now owl people, maybe doing a little spirit quest into the astral plane with your guide, your animal guide, would be a really good way to start off

Patreon Community Invite And Why It Exists

SPEAKER_01 1:00:50

this month. Now, if you guys don't know, I do have a Patreon community. I'm gonna make this really short because I don't like markety stuff. But I do have a free community. And if you are interested in learning some practices outside of the podcast and you want to have some people to practice with and connect with, I am building a Patreon community of the Rainbows Rising of followers so that we can all practice these practices together. We can become stronger, powerful, sovereign individuals over our realities. So if that interests you, check out the links in the description and join us over at Patreon.

Light Code Activation Setup And Intention

SPEAKER_01 1:01:43

Now that we've gone through the tarot reading, we are going to conclude today's episode with our light code activation. I was shown that I am going to do a journey for you guys with your chosen animal as our activation. There will be light codes during this journey, but I encourage you to journey with the animal, and I'm gonna do some drumming for you, and I would love to know how this goes. So the animals were Panther, Scorpion, Dolphin, and Owl. So please get yourself in a comfortable position somewhere where you're not likely to fall asleep. Laying down in a bed is good if you can prevent yourself from falling fully asleep. You can sit up, but laying down is personally what I would recommend. Make yourself comfortable. Set your intention to be open to receiving whatever you need most in this moment, whatever you need most to hear, see, or receive. When you start this journey, I'd like to you to imagine that you are in the most peaceful, beautiful and safe place you've ever imagined or been to. It doesn't have to be a place you've ever actually been to, but I just want you to imagine a really beautiful and safe place. And we are going to make this your your entry. So this is where you're going to start at, and this is where you want to return to. Okay?

SPEAKER_00 1:07:38

Relax into your body.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:44

Notice where you're holding tension. What do your shoulders feel like?

SPEAKER_02 1:08:00

Can you unwind the muscles just a little?

SPEAKER_03 1:08:08

Melt the tension in your neck.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:15

Sink deeper into your chair.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:24

SPEAKER_01 1:09:11

In your mind's eye, what do you see? Is it night? Is it day? What's the environment like?

SPEAKER_04 1:09:32

If you can't visualize, just go ahead and feel into your body.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:46

Sink, relax, trust, you are safe.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:12

Panther coming.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:17

All those are connected with the spirit of Panther today.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:22

Turn to the north, whatever way that is in your visualization. See Panther coming up over the horizon.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:37

Notice how its fur shimmers.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:43

Welcome it. Maybe give it a little pat or a scratch or a pet. And ask it to protect you and guide your journey today. Ask it to show you what it wants to say so that you can learn to connect with the astral realm. So you can harness your power with authority and safety.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:28

If you pulled the deck that corresponds with owl, like you do imagine in your visualization or even in your body, you're going to turn to the right, to the east, face the east and see owl flying towards you on silent wings. What kind of owl do you see? Is it a great-horned owl? Is it a barned owl? Is it a white owl? What kind of owl is it?

SPEAKER_00 1:12:03

Lift your arm up and allow the owl to rest. Give it some scratches, some pets. Thank you, owl, for joining our friend. Please help uncover the hidden wisdom of the astral plane for them.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:26

Thank you, owl, for joining us on this journey. Ask them what they want to show you.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:36

Ask Owl to lead you. Turning once again to our right, we're gonna face the South. All of those who worked with Scorpion earlier in the tarot reading want you to imagine seeing Scorpion crawling on the ground towards you.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:13

Put your hand out, trust in this new friend. Scorpion climbs up onto your hand.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:22

You look into its beady black eyes and you feel safe.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:37

And it has something it wants to show you. Share with you. Scorpion, please show our listeners. Show them what you want to share. Show them how you truly care. Scorpion, help connect them to the lessons of the astral realm.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:34

Turning to our right, we face a great vast ocean, and on the horizon line, we can see dolphin jumping, swimming towards us, getting closer to the shoreline.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:56

Dolphin, please help these spirit seekers understand your message. Help them understand what you need to share with them about the astral plane that can help them expand the horizons, help them connect to a deeper level.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:16

Give them guidance. Thank you, dolphin. Thank you, Panther.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:24

Thank you, owl, thank you, Scorpion, for joining us today. Now be on your way.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:47

Hurry back, peep back, peep back, travel with your friend, travel it's CM Howe.

unknown 1:23:16

Integration Tips And Dreamy State Guidance

SPEAKER_01 1:23:49

Whatever impressions you got, whether it was just colors or feelings, whether you actually saw and traveled, whatever you experienced with your animal, those messages will be decoded for you this week. Make sure you're setting aside time to reconnect with that animal this week so that they can download that information to you. So they can help you see what those messages meant, those feelings will become. So stay in this altered state this week. Ground yourself, of course, but allow yourself to stay in this dreamy eyed, whimsical vibe so that your power animal can communicate to you what the astral plane can do for you, what the beings in the astral realm want to teach you, want to show you. And as always, it has been such a pleasure to be able to share what I've learned in this world, what I've learned in my journey. I am so grateful for the opportunity to facilitate this podcast for you all to be able to share, share these practices with you. I'm so grateful to all of you for supporting the show, for listening to the show, for showing up for yourself and trying the practices and seeing what comes of it. And for those clients out there who reached out to me and worked with me from the show, you found the show, you listened to it, you were inspired enough to reach out to me and work directly with me. I love working with you. I love every moment getting to know you and helping you understand the messages you receive in these in these readings that we do, in your own journeys. I am so grateful for your trust in me, for your spiritual development, for your mindfulness education. Thank you so much for trusting in me, for believing in what I share, and for trying it, having an open mind and an open heart. It means so much to me, and I am so deeply grateful.

Companion App Beta Release And Closing Notes

SPEAKER_01 1:27:29

There would be no rainbows rising without you, which is why over the past five years, the overwhelming support that I received from the show has inspired me to make a companion app for the show. And I'm releasing the beta version of this companion app on Patreon in October. So a little excerpt about this app. I have spent the better part of two years collecting all of the practices that I have in my mentorship program that I've worked with my clients with. I've gone through all of my client sessions and the podcasts and my teaching from when I was teaching in California. And I have collected all of these practices and skills. And I have integrated them into the app that helps you track your progress and helps you develop your skills in a way where you can actually like in a way where you can record your journey. But I do encourage you, if you want to be able to apply the practices to your everyday life, you need something that you can be like, oh, I just have five minutes. I really need to cool down. I'm really angry about this person or this situation. I'm feeling really dysregulated. You know, as somebody who's neurodivergent, I sometimes need to be reminded to go and meditate in a corner so I can calm myself down. And I developed this app just like my journal for myself. I needed I needed the app for my kids, for my partner, for me. So I made it. And I am here to share it with you because it has worked for me and my family. I want you guys to be able to journal your journey. If you're interested in checking out the Rainbow's Rising app, please check out the Alchemy Tier in Patreon. You will get data access where you can be one of the very first testers, players, members of the app, and you can help me know what works, what doesn't work, what's intuitive, what isn't. You can help me shape the development of this app and it's wonderful expansions that are coming in January and beyond. I have a huge plan for this app and how it is going to be easy to integrate with neurodivergence as well as uh people who are new to spiritual and mindfulness practices. If you are someone who really struggles to sit down and do the practice, I created this app for you. I wanted to make it playful, I wanted to make it fun, and I am excited for anybody who is willing and able to check out the beta and help me test it and see what works and what doesn't work. So thank you guys so much for joining me, for supporting Rainbows Rising. I'm excited for this app and what it's going to be. I really encourage you guys to at least join uh Patreon so that you can see the app live when I showcase it in October. I look forward to seeing you guys next week where we will be talking about the astral plane and how it works. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and let's keep ascending together.
