We each have stories that we tell ourselves, that we carry in our hearts and memories. Some of these stories sustain us and allow us to thrive, while others are defeating, destructive and only serve to drain us of our power and potential. This spread removes the veil behind the stasis, resistance and what particular story you are telling yourself.
There is an amazing parallel between with the
fictional stories that affect our lives through books, movies and art and the
stories that we are told through family, friends, work and society at large.
I created
this spread to be used for both personal story introspection or to better
understand the resistance to a fictional story you may be working on. You can
adapt this spread to suit both pathways. Have a play around with the questions.
You may find
that you have an internal character/ persona inside you that is telling you their
story that no longer resonates with you or that your character has something to
offer you about the stories that are underneath the surface of your own
personal belief, practice and life.
Each card
will come with Journaling questions you might like to use to expand on each
question and deepen your understanding and power around the story that needs
shifting the most in your life at the moment. I have highlighted these.
1.What is the
most prominent story playing out in my life right now?
This
addresses the focal story that is playing out in your unconsciousness and
manifesting into world.
What have
you been re-telling yourself that you no longer believe?
What are you
telling yourself that you do believe – Why do you believe that?
*
2. Why am I
resistant to this story?
Bringing
awareness to the resistance –uncover what may be stopping it from being
addressed.
What feels
heavy when you tell this story to yourself or others?
Where did
the conditioning come from? Can you pin point it.
*
3. What
Paralyses me to the point of procrastination or status?
Where did
the story originate. You work to find the root of paralysis.
What is
holding you back from understanding or addressing your story?
Where does
this come from? Can you find it in your body?

4. What Shadow surrounds
this story right now?
Positive or
Negative what lurks beneath the roots of the story you are telling yourself.
Is it a
story you have been told, been sold, or one you adapted to help you survive?

this story allowing you to stay in the dark?

5.What message
awaits me beneath the layers of this story?
With the
root, it’s time to expose the branches.
What purpose has this story held for you?
Why are you attached
to this story?
What does
this story want to show you?
*
6.What will
lift the veil?
What will
help you to de-condition or release this story from your consciousness?
What steps
can I take to burn and release this story?
What skills
or techniques can I employ to cut my connection to the story?
Do I need to
connect with anyone and discuss how to shift this story?
