Oracle Mornings: Where oracle cards awaken your morning ritual

In today’s episode of Oracle Mornings, Amanda shares a late-night story about her pup’s unexpected run-in with a porcupine—and how it became a reminder of nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and remembering that you are the adult in the room. Pulling the Porcupine card from The Spirit Animal Pocket Oracle by Colette Baron-Reid, we’re invited to approach life with innocence and curiosity, letting go of old limiting stories. Porcupine also reminds us to check in with our defenses—are we protecting ourselves from real harm, or from opportunities for love, abundance, and joy? This gentle yet powerful message asks us to return to a beginner’s mind, stay curious, and soften where we may be bristling. ✨ Stay connected! Sign up for my newsletter here.

Amanda is exploring the idea of inspired action—how do you know what to do next when you’re in a season of change? Whether it’s a career shift, a new relationship, or deepening your spiritual practice, the answer isn’t always about making step-by-step plans. Instead, it’s about joy. When you feel joy, you’re tapping into your truest self. That joy becomes the spark for your next aligned action. Today’s card pull comes from The Law of Attraction Cards by Esther and Jerry Hicks, a beautiful reminder that: “Action inspired from aligned thoughts is joyful action.” I invite you to take a breath, reflect on what joy feels like for you, and notice where inspiration is nudging you to take action in your own life.

Change is the only constant—and yet it’s often the thing we resist most. In today’s episode of Oracle Mornings, Amanda Johnson explores the card Experiencing the Reality of Change from The Empath’s Oracle by Raven Digitalis. Together we’ll reflect on how change shapes our lives, why curiosity is the antidote to fear, and how we can embrace transformation as co-creators of our reality. Whether it’s the turning of the seasons, a shift in energy, or the unfolding of your own personal growth, this conversation is here to help you honor change not as a threat—but as an invitation to step into awe, presence, and possibility. 🌿 Key Takeaways Change is the only true constant in life—and resisting it only creates fear. Approaching change with curiosity rather than dread opens the door to growth. As empaths, we may feel shifts in seasons and energies more deeply. Our thoughts shape our perspectives, which influence how we experience reality. Reflecting on past change can remind us of our strength and resilience. Change offers opportunity—without it, there is no evolution or excitement. 💭 Affirmation "I welcome change with curiosity and trust, knowing each transformation is part of my growth."   This episode features the card Experiencing the Reality of Change from The Empath’s Oracle by Raven Digitalis (author) and Konstantin Bax (artist). 🔗 Some links may be affiliate links, which help support the podcast at no extra cost to you.

This morning, Amanda shares a simple but profound reminder to trust in the great mystery of life. Inspired by a quiet moment with a deer in the field, she pulls the Whale Spirit card from The Spirit Animal Pocket Oracle by Colette Baron-Reid. The Whale Spirit invites us to let go of the need to understand everything with our minds and instead lean into trust, intuition, and awe.

September is a month of reinvention—a time to clear away what no longer serves us and to plant seeds of intention for the season ahead. In today’s episode of Oracle Mornings, Amanda reflects on how our desires are not random, but sacred signposts leading us closer to who we truly are. Today’s card pull is Our Lady of the Whispering Heart from Mother Mary Oracle by Alana Fairchild, illustrated by Shiloh Sophia McCloud.

Today’s Oracle Mornings episode begins with guidance from the Snow Leopard card in Messages from Your Animal Spirit Guides by Steven D. Farmer. This card invites us to embrace solitude as a sacred way to ground, reconnect, and restore balance. Amanda then shares a powerful teaching she heard about in Kabbalah, about expanding the vessel and the light—a reminder that we are all vessels of Divine energy, and that expanding our capacity requires gentleness and patience. Just like our nervous system, the vessel must be strengthened over time so that it can safely hold more light without overwhelm. In this episode you’ll discover: The difference between solitude and isolation, and why solitude is vital for grounding. How the vessel mirrors our nervous system. Practical ways to expand your capacity: breath, meditation, grounding, and rest. An affirmation and guided visualization to support your nervous system in receiving more light. 🌟 Affirmation: "I am a sacred vessel for Divine light. With each breath, I strengthen my capacity to receive, to hold, and to flow. My nervous system is calm, steady, and open, balancing expansion with grounding. I welcome the light in perfect measure for my wholeness." ✨ Try This Practice: Take a few minutes today to sit quietly with your breath. Imagine yourself as a vessel — a bowl, cup, or lamp — slowly filling with golden light, drop by drop. Whisper: “I can hold this. I am safe to receive.” Allow your nervous system to soften into the safety of expansion. This week, notice how solitude, grounding, and nervous system care can help you grow your vessel with strength and grace.

Today, Amanda reflects on September as a natural new year, drawing inspiration from Rosh Hashanah and the rhythms of the harvest season.

Today’s oracle card, Lady of Lhasa Descends from Alana Fairchild’s Wild Kuan Yin Oracle, carries a powerful reminder: we don’t always need to strive, climb, or push to manifest what we seek.

Today's card is the Bison Totem from The Medicine Woman Oracle by Catherine Maillard. After a weekend spent camping with my family—under the stars, by the trees, and near the water—it felt like the perfect reminder from nature itself. The Bison teaches us about abundance, gratitude, and community. Its message is to honor what we already have, to use resources respectfully, and to give generously of ourselves. By trusting life’s generosity, we open ourselves to a deeper sense of connection and support. The Bison also invites us into reflection: What abundance already surrounds you? How can you share your gifts with your community? Take a moment today to breathe into gratitude and to reaffirm your trust in life’s provision. — Author: Catherine Maillard Illustrator: Caroline Manière Publisher: Rockpool Publishing   Affirmation: “I trust in life’s generosity.
