The Rise & Align Lounge has officially reached 100 members! 💜 When I created this space, I hoped it would become a welcoming place for people exploring intuition, spiritual awakenings, tarot, chakras, healing, growth, and alignment. What we've created together has exceeded anything I imagined.

Hello everyone! My name is Lee, and I am delighted to be joining this wonderful community! I am a Tarot reader, Reiki Master, educator, and founder of Light Nudges. I have been reading Tarot for over 25 years and love helping people gain clarity, confidence, and a fresh perspective on whatever is unfolding in their lives. A big THANK YOU to Jennie for allowing me to post in this community. As a way of saying hello, I would love to offer some complimentary one-card Tarot readings this week! If you would like a card, simply: 🙋 Raise your hand in the comments or post a GIF AND 🎴 Choose one of the following decks (also pictured below): Deck 1 – The Spiral Tarot by Kay Steventon (the deck I have been reading with since the very beginning of my Tarot journey) Deck 2 – The Sufi Tarot by Ayeda Husain (for those who enjoy a touch of mysticism and spiritual wisdom) Deck 3 – The Psychic Tarot by John Holland (a deck I have recently fallen in love with for its simplicity and directness) I will pull a card and share a short reading for you in the comments. Looking forward to connecting with you all! Lee

Let’s take a moment to thank @Lee Hendricks l for the thoughtful and detailed readings he shared with our community this past weekend. Lee generously connected in and offered complimentary readings to many members, and it was wonderful to see the care, time, and energy he brought to each one. Thank you for showing up, sharing your gifts, and supporting others on their journeys. Lee is also beginning his own adventure here on Skool. If his style and approach resonated with you, I encourage you to check out and support his community as well. Thank you, Lee, for being a valued member of The Rise & Align Lounge. We are grateful to have you here and are excited to cheer you on as you continue building and sharing your work with others.

One of the biggest misconceptions about emotional intelligence is that it means staying calm all the time. It doesn't. Strong EQ is feeling the emotion, acknowledging it, understanding where it came from, and choosing your response with intention. <-- THIS IS SO IMPORTANT! Just like we strengthen our bodies through movement, we strengthen our emotional intelligence through practice. ✨ Pausing before reacting ✨ Listening to understand ✨ Setting healthy boundaries ✨ Taking accountability ✨ Leading with empathy As you move through the rest of this week and into the next, remember: Pause. Pause before reacting OR responding, before assuming, before taking something personally. Sometimes the most emotionally intelligent thing we can do is give ourselves a moment to breathe, observe, and choose our next step with intention.

We have two chances to gather, learn, and connect this week: 💜 Rise & Align Connect (Virtual) 📅 Thursday ⏰ 3:00 PM EST 🔗 Zoom link can be found in the calendar tab (top of page) 🌱 Soul Awakening Collective (In Person) 📅 Saturday ⏰ 9:30 AM EST 📍 Light Works, Manassas, VA ✅ RSVP required (Meetup link can be found in the calendar tab - top of page).
