Take Responsibility For Your Own Healing

Todays oracle comes from Scott Alexander Kings, Animal Dreaming Oracle (amazon) deck. I thought it fit the mood after being blessed with a perched eagle outside my window, soaking up the rising sun. The theme this week has been very prominent about taking responsibility for yourself and your healing. While the energies we have been facing have been bringing a lot of things to surface, now is the time to find your center and focus on what brings you joy.

Oracle Message: Kookaburra – Healing

The Kookaburra’s laughter echoes through the trees, reminding us of the power of joy in healing. This wise bird calls you to release the burdens you’ve been carrying and find humor even in challenging times. Its medicine is one of transformation through light-heartedness, urging you to heal by embracing laughter and letting go of the past.

Are you holding onto pain that no longer serves you? The Kookaburra asks you to breathe deeply, release, and allow joy to fill the space where wounds once resided. Healing doesn’t have to be heavy—it can be light, playful, and liberating.

This is a time to reconnect with your inner child, to play and find delight in the simple moments. By choosing joy, you choose healing.

Affirmation: I release the past and heal through laughter and joy. I embrace light-heartedness and allow myself to fully live in the present.

Oracle Message: Red Kangaroo – Responsibility

The Red Kangaroo stands tall, vigilant and grounded, symbolizing the power of responsibility. This guardian of the outback asks you to reflect on the commitments you’ve made and to honor them with integrity. It teaches that responsibility is not a burden but a path to empowerment.

Are you carrying your responsibilities with grace, or are they weighing you down? The Red Kangaroo invites you to find balance, standing firm in your duties while maintaining the freedom to move forward. Responsibility is a sacred contract—by fulfilling it, you strengthen your character and purpose.

This is a time to own your actions and decisions, knowing that true growth comes from accountability and dedication.

My studies are rooted in the Arts and Anthropology, and my path has included Cultural Resource Management work as well as cultural sharing through talks and presentations. Through my education, travels, and lived experience, life has continually guided me back to nature—where I find my deepest healing and connection.

I also spent time as a professional photographer, a practice I now return to as a personal form of expression and joy. Nature has always been a teacher to me. There is profound healing in the natural world; Mother Earth reflects us back to ourselves when we take the time to listen.

My intention is to help guide others back into that relationship—so we may reflect on our own journeys, reconnect with the land, and remember what it means to be in harmony with ourselves and the Earth.
