Inspiration

A Desert Versus A Lush Garden

I was able to articulate a clear need to my husband recently. I told him that a part of the garden that I am needs more water in a particular way. I need to be cheered, believed in, and fully supported without being fixed, improved, critiqued, or directed. I need to know that he fully believes in my ability to handle life and that he is able to reflect it back to me.

We often assume that meeting our needs is our responsibility. It is and it is much more than that. It is about your awareness to know what you need in the first place and articulate it in the right way to the right and safe person who is ready, willing, and able to provide that support to meet your need.

The other mistake we do is asking people who are desert-lands to water the neglected parts of our garden. People and family members in your life who haven’t dealt or willingly and currently are dealing with their own trauma can not and will not be able to meet your needs. This was a hard lesson that I had to learn and accept. The desert-people in your life have one purpose only: to remind you of taking the responsibility of meeting your own needs.

Here’s another thing: you cannot heal desert-people unless they decide to heal. It is not your responsibility to water an endless desert that won’t ever be satisfied or bloom. Moving towards the water, the love, the nourishment needs to come from deep within them. You cannot force, coerce, or persuade them to move towards meeting their needs.

Your willingness to water your own garden will mean that you are available to be a resource for others in your life. The parts of your garden that remain thirsty dictates how you show up for yourself and others. Plain and simple. When and if the people in your life decide to get your support, you’ll be ready. Your re-sourced self will be a vibrational invitation to healing for everyone around you without you needing to do anything for them. And for the people you need to care for, like your children, you get to empower them with becoming aware of and voicing their own needs to you or others. And when they do, you need to commit to listening to them without any assumptions or judgement.

Here’s an invitation for you: find a time and a place to be with yourself, hold your hand on your heart, and feel, really feel, into what it is that you most need at this time. Here’s a brief and to-the-point meditation to help you do just that.

If you would like to go even deeper in your healing by getting help and support with articulating and meeting the needs of your inner children, I’m here for you.

With love,

Welcoming Spring + a few things I love

It is finally Spring where I live in the East Coast of the US, and OMG it is so welcome! I am going through a spiraling growth kind of time. Things are healing in me and yet the energy is still raw, still a bit out in the open. It means that I am asked to be extra gentle with myself, extra loving, and extra allowing every single day. Seeing the nature come back to life has been a deeply welcome refuge these past few weeks.

I know the same is true for most of you. I have been meeting many of you for intuitive readings the last three weeks. Here’s what I am seeing in myself, in my clients, and when I tune into the collective:

We are all exhausted. There’s no other way to put this. Everything from the astrological winds to personal waves to unresolved trauma of generations and lifetimes is all up in the air.

You are not alone. I am feeling it too. Everyone’s feeling it. This accelerated growth, life asking us to heal more, become more, and be more is real.

I am not doing a perfect job, neither are you, and that’s OK. You are not asked to be perfect at this time. You are asked to be with it. You are asked to shower and make breakfast and care for your loved ones and keep showing up day after day with love to all the parts in you and in our collective that are broken.

You are asked to discern who and what you give your attention to, who or what drains your energy or uplifts it. You are asked to hold a cutting sword in your hands, always ready to cut what needs to you, place a boundary around what needs healing and distance, and welcome what needs to come into your life.

You are asked to deepen the way you do things, say things, and know things. You are asked to do more than just what the day asks you but to do it with your entire embodied being, your heart, gut, and everything in between. You are asked to more deeply be here now.

You are asked to know the actual story. There’s more happening behind the seeming disfunction of your life and the world. There’s a deeper story here of karmic, multidimensional, ancestral healing, reckoning with what’s not working, and what is wanting to come in as new life. There’s more to all of it.

Love is the key. Love your nervous system, your body, and your laughter. Love deeper and better and in more expanded ways. Love despite not knowing what will happen next. Love with all your being. Love like a mighty lion and be fierce with your love like the Goddess Sekhmet.

Love like your life depends on it, because it does.

With love,

Damla

P. S. Here’s what I am loving lately

This extraordinary music and performance that explains how I am feeling now

This incredible short movie narrated by a good friend that everyone needs to watch

This snack that reminds me of a childhood snack *

This wonderful Tarot Deck that combines elemental Astrology and Tarot*

This amazing salad that is so yummy and healthy

This album, which according to research, has a greater ability to induce relaxation than having a cup of tea, going for a walk and playing video games. It is even used before surgery and ‘is as beneficial for a patient’s nerves as medication’.

Two major Astrological happenings in April and what they mean for you + LOVING yourself more

caption for image

April is here as sweet as a cherry blossom!

How I love the sweet scent of newness in the air and the possibility of spending more time outside!

The Astrological outlook agrees with me on that. Two of the major astrological happenings this month are:

the Full Moon in Libra at 17 degrees on April 5

and the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries at 30 degrees on April 19

This Full Moon is a reminder to find a sweet balance between exerting yourself and taking some much needed rest. Release what weighs you down and let yourself rest in the LOVE that you are.

The New Moon is also reminding you not to burn the candle at both ends. Look deep into what your inner child and body need, and give yourself that. The Solar Eclipse is a reminder to examine what may be in the way of you shining your truest light.

So take some time to LOVE yourself some more this month!

Notice what this statement brings up in you. Are you hearing an enthusiastic YES! Or noticing some resistance? Both are ways that your inner child talks to you. The enthusiastic child is so ready to play but may need to balance it with taking care of her responsibilities. The resistant child may not be feeling up to play because her nervous system is way out of whack. She needs some nurturing, reassurance, and safety before she can play.

There are so many ways that LOVE can be a part of your life.

Listening to your inner dialog (aka inner child) is one of them.

With love and delight,

Damla

“Damla is wonderful at sharing her intuitive gifts in an inspiring way. I have received readings both in person and virtually from Damla, I had a Turkish coffee and Tarot reading with her. She is not only spot on but offers thoughtful insight that is really helpful. I am very grateful to Damla and I highly recommend her services, I look forward to another reading.”

The language of Tarot + discovering your deep soul guidance

Reading Tarot and Oracle Cards is the gift that keeps on giving in my life. Tarot cards are rich with archetypal symbology. They can give you a direct overview of your inner landscape, patterns, emotional weather, and more.

All oracle cards are a window to your soul and a gateway to diving into the depths of your dilemmas, turmoil, as well as healing, abundance, and thriving potentials. In a reading, I will connect you with a card deck or decks that want to be known to you as well as with your divine soul helpers. Together we will explore what is between you and living your highest vibrational soul aligned life.

A card reading is seeing all of you as representations of soul images in front of you. It is knowing that even though you don’t fully understand it, you can surrender to the language that your inner children know so well, the language of imagery, symbols, and archetypes. It is deciding that you are open to exploring ALL aspects of yourself, even the parts that may be hidden to you. It is knowing and trusting that whatever you hear is a direct reflection of your soul and soul guides.

This kind of reading is a gift, as you are accepted, known, and understood by the card reader in all your innate wisdom and beauty. It is truly a magical experience to be known and held this way.

What your soul has to do with it all

In 2018, I fell in love with Soul Level Astrology taught by Mark Borax. Of course the kind of astrology that I fell in love with had to be all about the soul, had to have its origins in Atlantean Astrology, and needed to have a whole other chart configuration than any other astrology practiced out there (saluting my weirdness-loving Aquarian sun).

This is the kind of Astrology that never assumes what a sign is. Every single time I look at a chart, I am in the moment diving into why this soul chose to incarnate, and re-interpreting what their special kind of Libra is, what their special kind of House 5 means, what their special configuration of their birth chart has to say here in the now.

In this kind of Astrology that I practice, the birth chart is a dynamic quantum map of a pure love matrix. I get to deeply see and know every single person through their magical wheel, their birth chart. I get to see them in their pure soul essence. I get to relay them all the challenges, dilemmas, lack of love they have ever known. I get to show them their own beauty, wisdom, longings, and divine potentials. I get to let them see and understand what a unique and powerful being they are.

You can experience my Astrology Soul Readings with me in two ways:

Birth Chart Soul Reading: Your astrological birth chart is a quantum map for living the highest potentials of your soul. It is an energetic soul imprint and resource to help you navigate the high tides and consuming waves of your life, as well as make the best of low tides and easy flowing winds. Through this reading, I will show you your unique beauty, divine soul essence, and how to activate your deepest life satisfaction and highest potentials.

Whole Life Timing Soul Reading: What if you could have a deep soul understanding of all the cycles and waves of your life? What if you could know precisely what your soul assignment is for the next 30 years and beyond? What if you could realize that your soul has a much bigger plan for you than you have ever known or realized? Through this reading, I will give you a soul map of your life from age 0 to 100. We will look at your progressed cycles, dharmic currents, main transits, and deep galactic influences. You will come out with a deep understand of your soul cycles that already have passed as well as upcoming trials and milestones.

“Working with Damla is always a joy. Whether she uses the ancient art of reading Turkish coffee grounds, Tarot cards, or Astrology to retrieve the information necessary to guide you, you really do feel the power and accuracy of her advice. She is wonderfully adept at combining her skills with profoundly spot-on intuition and life wisdom with heart-centered compassion as she accurately conveys the guidance you need.”

Sheilaa L. Hite, Master Astrologer, Tarot Reader, Intuitive Maven

You can read what now?

I looked at the small coffee cup in my hands and started to say a few words. My friend looked at me with huge eyes. She finally said ‘Damla, did we talk about this? Did I tell you how I felt about my job?’ I looked at her and said ‘Hon, I know what you feel the moment I think of you. I haven’t seen you in weeks, and no we haven’t talked about this with words but we don’t need to. I can read you like a book.’ I continued to tell her all that was coming to me through what I saw in the cup, complete with her next action steps.

This was an Intuitive Turkish Coffee reading. Something I have known all my life. My mother read the Turkish Coffee, my grandmother did, and her mother, and so on. It was normal in our home to drink the coffee until you reach the unfiltered grounds, turn it upside down with a wish, then see a loved one read your energy to you through the coffee grounds.

Over the years I realized that I am not reading the images only. They are a starting point yes, an entry into your realm that connects me to your soul and your soul guides. What comes after is a pure ‘soul patterns, life guidance, and what you need to hear most right now’ kind of reading.

Another client called me the other day. I had read Turkish Coffee for her two months ago. She said ‘Damla, all you told me is coming true. All the dynamics you described to me at the office, it is all falling into place piece by piece.’ When something like that happens, I know that that is the power of your own soul. Your being knows your patterns. Your being knows your highest quantum possibilities and probabilities. My job is to be a translator to it all. To be perfectly honest, most of the time I remember very little from each intuitive reading as I am completely in the moment, focusing on being a clear channel.

In an online reading, you don’t have to drink the really strong Turkish Coffee. While you sit comfortably at home, I will prepare and pour your Turkish coffee, turn it upside down with your intentions and wishes, and tune into its magical messages for you. No coffee drinking required. It is not about what images I see in there, the cup is a vessel for me to connect with your soul essence and divine soul helpers and relay their soul gifts and messages to you.

“I had never had a Turkish Coffee reading before but somehow felt called to trust Damla to give me one. Everything she said was exactly on point and I was surprised because things were brought up that I hadn’t been currently thinking about but I knew instantly she was right. Though my reading was not rosy (the message, not the delivery of it) it was still somehow comforting. Damla gave me hope and I left knowing that I would get through what was ahead of me.”

What if you could collapse time and dream all you need into life?

What if you could collapse time and dream all you need into life? What if you don’t have to go from where you are (point A) to where you want to be (point B) but there’s another way? What if it is much easier and more fun that you have ever imagined?

In an Intuitive Time Collapsing Reading that is exactly what we’ll do. In the quantum world, there is no point A or B. All possibilities exist here in the now. What I will help you with is deeply understand where you are and where you want to go and how to collapse the distance between the two.

You will go back to the basics like a child, a paper and crayons. You will draw where you are and where you want to be. Together we will dive into these drawings the same way I help people dive into Tarot cards, birth charts, or inner child guidance. The images your inner children create are really powerful. They will tell us your story, your longings, and what your inner being knows but your conscious-self doesn’t yet know.

I have facilitated Intuitive Time Collapsing Readings about family dynamics, career steps, life goals, romantic goals, and more. Often what you think you wish for isn’t actually what you are wishing for. Through intuitive collaboration, I will show you exactly what you need to realize or do to get to where you want to go quicker, easier, and with a lot more grace and trust.

What your chakras have to say to you

When I first began to read chakras, I didn’t fully understand that I was looking at portals of life. Each chakra/portal opens a different level of vibration, physical expression, and a connection with your soul growth possibilities.

Your chakras provide a physical, archetypal, and symbolic map into current your struggles and challenges. They clearly show you where your life force as well as inner and outer circumstances can flow better. In a chakra reading, I intuitively assess your chakras to help you become aware of where your blockages might be. I also channel messages and guidance related to each chakra to give you a guidemap of how to move through your current karmic lessons.

Reading a chakra and assessing the health of it is only one dimension of any reading I do. I then tune into my and your soul helpers’ deep guidance. I ask for messages for each and every chakra, and get the full picture of what you need to know and take action on.

Sometimes organs or systems of your body join the conversation. Sometimes we may focus on one chakra or a few of them a bit more than others. In all cases, these chakra readings are more like guide-maps for your continuing energetic and physical well-being.

When I see someone come to me with multiple chakras blocked, I know that it is usually due to one main chakra blockage. Your chakras are spinning vortices that take in and distribute energy. If one chakra is overworking, over time it gets tired. Other chakras around it begin to compensate by overworking, then also getting tired. Over time, all the overwork and overwhelm results in blocked or reaaally slowly rotating chakras.

If your chakras (your portals of life energy) aren’t flowing properly, you will feel it in every aspect of your life. It will show up in your physical health, in your relationships, and in your career. It will create numbness or pain in your body. It will create a less-than-desired life experience.

Your chakras tell me your entire story. Without ever meeting you, your chakras can tell me what part of your life is your biggest struggle and what can help ease your struggle. Through our combined intention, we can reach into what your soul and soul guides want and need you to know for better flowing chakras.

My Chakra Reading with Damla was focused, to the point, insightful, and I walked away with practical, doable tips to begin in my daily life. My intention was to receive insight and increased understanding and I received both. The experience felt very natural and comfortable. I felt seen and heard and held. Damla left me with actionable steps and with more understanding on the health of my chakras with the second and third chakra energetic wounds.”

The Cold Waters Of Saturn In Pisces + Soul Wellness Support Opportunity

Saturn has just moved into Pisces. I am feeling it. I am feeling ALL of it. Listening to my Receiving Dream Guidance Crystal Healing Recording last night (available to you in the Chakra Bliss Vault Crystal Healing Membership), I asked for guidance. Here it is: one day at a time AND let things be.

I have been deeply immersed in Astrology and its symbolism for the last 4+ years. It has taught me to be better prepared for the cosmic winds that hit us. It is a way of understanding life through the unique archetypal energies of celestial vibration holders. It is a way of embracing your soul beauty and what you have come here to be and do.

Saturn holds you accountable for your prenatal vows, for things you agreed to learn and do in this reality. Pisces is feeling into the depths of ALL of it. It is feeling and knowing things in the liquid crystalline realm of your body. Saturn in Pisces is like swimming in deep cold waters. It is not always a pleasant swim. All that you have felt and not truly learned to be with will ALL come up now.

Allow yourself to be with it all. Take it truly one day at a time. And let things be the way they are as you are the way you are. This includes all your feelings, circumstances, struggles, and physical reality.

We are asked to be responsible for the drops of OM that we are, for the oceans of information we carry, and for learning to move through it all. It is a tough lesson (that’s how Saturn operates) but a necessary one that we all signed up for.

I have been guided to make my intuitive readings available to you to support you in your soul journey. My readings offer a wide range of soul connection and deep intuitive guidance. You can:

look into the depths of your soul with Astrology Readings

receive guidance for and from your chakras for wellness in all areas of your life with Chakra Readings

hear the language of the depths of your being and highest soul guidance with Tarot and Oracle Card Readings

“Damla exudes a calm, healing vibration that stands clear of judgmental limitation, or lower mind negativity. I remember feeling at the end of my intuitive reading that I had noble parts of myself revealed to me. I felt held, acknowledged, and empowered through Damla’s guidance. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Damla is fortunate, indeed. “

C. C.

My Birth Chart Soul Reading with Damla was enlightening, powerful, and deeply grounding. With grace and compassion, Damla was able to communicate the connection between the sun and moon – and south and north node placements in my astrological chart. She provided answers to questions I have had through the course of my lifetime. Weaving past life energy into future direction, Damla has enabled me to access not only what I learned, but also to feel both grounded and lifted by her spiritual energy.”

W. F.

If you would like to find out how the Saturn sign change will affect you, let’s connect. Through your birth chart reading we can look at your current challenges this year, as well as the guiding soul energies you need to be aware of.

Your astrological birth chart is a quantum map for living the highest potentials of your soul. It is an energetic soul imprint and resource to help you navigate the high tides and consuming waves of your life, as well as make the best of low tides and easy flowing winds. Through Soul Level Astrology birth chart soul reading, I will show you your unique beauty, divine soul essence, and how to activate your deepest life satisfaction and highest potentials.
