MUSINGS #10: THE TRUTH
Exactly as you are.
Musings is a think-piece series fueling fire and resonance at The Cornerstone. Each piece features an accompanying audio and an oracle energy reading based on its theme.
LISTEN TO MUSINGS #10: THE TRUTH
Your mind teams up with your nervous system day in and out.
Scanning what’s safe, what’s not, what’s harmful, what’s not, what’s something to go towards, what’s not — all in the name of keeping you alive
We can be grateful. Even ecstatic when they do their thing. This dynamic duo do keep us safe, but it’s so much more nuanced than that.
That safety can become a block. A block that isn’t always necessary when we’re trying to reach big goals. A block that identifies itself, brushing up the cobwebs from its shoulders, when someone else prompts it out of us.
Sometimes it’s like an epiphany, sometimes it’s dread. Sometimes it’s exactly what we need to hear, like this moment I’m about to share.
During an event I hosted, we were having a conversation about reaching goals. Around the table’s chit chat I responded to something that was said along the lines of, “Sometimes our minds are the biggest blockers, nothing else.” from across the table, my cousin’s eyes lit up.
I imagined in that moment, the words made contact with her own blockers causing the cobwebs to disintegrate entirely. And then it came to me, every kind of prompt in any room (to anyone) are important.
This think-piece is a perfect example of what one question led me to discover.
Dig in, friend.
Today as I read, ‘What becomes possible when you stop curating yourself for the feed, and start telling the truth in public?’, I got chills.
My initial response.
I loosen the grip and share.
I let my heart lead, because it knows the way.
Things begin to feel easier to say.
I then think. Who’s really taking tabs about how many times I’ve said something?
Me, only me.
So what becomes possible when I stop curating myself for the feed and start telling the truth in public?
I take up space.
I think less and express more.
I dance with my words and writing, as I open myself up to the conversations I want to have and the ones people have been dying to have with me.
The latter I never thought of or noticed. There are conversations people have been dying to have with me.
Gasps in Spanish.
So now I see and feel what becomes possible in so many more ways. My ability to start saying the truth in public and a less curated version on the feed, lets light pour in.
What becomes possible when I stop trying to be palatable and start letting my truth be visible?
That tingling feeling in my stomach stops existing, so potentially.
It stops stalling me and becomes an indicator of ooooooooo, this is good.
I finally bring in everything I’ve been working so hard towards.
It starts being real, tangible, existing with my own existence.
I stop second-guessing myself.
I make more connections. I support others on their own journeys.
I expand myself to explore areas of myself I didn’t know I had. I didn’t know I could actually do that, I’d think.
Everything becomes in flow. I stop overthinking. I stop overdoing. I begin to truly and deeply understand how to be in the soft, fiery, and exciting moments.
I stop dimming and start being.
ORACLE ENERGY READING
What happens when you finally embody who you are? No second-guessing, no disguises. Simply leading with your truth. That’s what this energy reading is based on for you.
When pulling the cards between the Work Your Light oracle deck by Rebecca Campbell and the Infinite Wisdom of the Chakras oracle deck written by Alison Denicola and Art by Dhra Lawrence, I noticed each one is a repeat from past readings.
I’ve gone back to get the link of each one because I know that the past readings are the beginning of what’s going on for this one. Under each card’s message, you’ll see a repeat of and the date it was published.
Notice the themes that existed on those dates and month, to support what you’re reading for this one.
CARD 1: PRIESTESS — INTUITION
Message on card: Connect to the highest wisdom of the divine feminine.
Repeat of MUSINGS #4: YOUR PATH
Published on June 6, 2025
Let your intuition lead. Don’t snuff it out. Don’t think there’s no room for it.
Whether you notice it or not, you’ve been listening to your gut all along. Reduce the mind chatter by doing something that brings you joy and pour into your cup with any self-care practice you’re curious about.
This message is about alignment with what wants to move through you. You’ve been ready.
CARD 2: IMRANA
Message on card: Where are you being called to journey to?
Repeat of this Substack note
Published on July 25, 2025
Continuing the theme of your intuition, pay attention to where you’re being pulled towards.
Your attention. Your thoughts. Your ideas. Your conversations. Your curiousity.
When you finally let go of pretense, the decisions you make aren’t bound by something heavy. Your boundaries are alive and set. You begin to trust over doubt.
Your soul is pulling you exactly where you’re headed. It doesn’t need to make logical sense just an inner knowing. Continue the journey.
CARD 3: TRUST YOUR PATH
Message on card: If you knew you would be supported, what would you do?
Repeat of MUSINGS #3: ANOTHER LAYER
Published on May 30, 2025
Similar to the energy of this reading, what you would do if you knew support is there all along is what helps your embodiment.
When you’re truly able to stop the overthinking and just be (with a side of trust that something bigger than you has your back) you’re able to live exactly as you are.
CARD 4: DANCE WITH LIFE
Message on card: Do something to change your energy.
Repeat of MUSINGS #8: IN BETWEEN
Published on August 1, 2025
This is about learning to stop resisting joy. Bring newness into your days, whether it’s the way you start the morning or simply the route you take on your daily walk.
Whatever it is, switch things up. Get things moving. Go on the path that feels easier to be yourself.
It’s impossible to think about anything else when you’re deeply immersed in an action that brings you joy, and if anything else sparks your curiosity let that lead the way.
CARD 5: COUNCIL OF LIGHT
Message on card: Divine orchestration. Helpers in the subtle realms.
Repeat of MUSINGS #4: YOUR PATH
Published on June 6, 2025
You’re not alone. You’re divinely guided. But you do need to ask for support from the divine.
It’s like not speaking to a friend for months, but waiting for a phone call from them when they’re needed most. Ahem, you haven’t spoken to them in months.
Give the divine a nudge through prayer, meditation, and anything else that’s suitable for you. They’re ready to answer and support the journey you’re on.
Love this! (Second reference I’ve come across today to Rebecca Campbells oracle deck! Might have to lean in hehe)
