Boundaries as Shields: July's Animal Medicine Reading

A sacred Animal Medicine card pull reveals powerful boundary medicine for July through the wisdom of the Armadillo. 

Drawing from the respected Animal Medicine card deck by Jamie Sands and David Carson, Lizzy shares a profound reading rooted in Native American wisdom that speaks directly to our collective need for healthier boundaries this month. The Armadillo - with its natural armor as part of its physical being - teaches us about creating energetic protection that allows harmful words or intentions to simply roll off.

The reading explores how many of us struggle with saying "no" even when it means canceling our own plans, feeling like emotional sponges unable to distinguish between others' feelings and our own, and consistently putting everyone else's needs before our personal well-being. Through the Armadillo's medicine, we're guided to create a metaphorical shield that clearly defines what experiences we welcome into our lives versus what we'll accept only by invitation.

This episode offers practical reflections and visualization techniques for honoring your energetic boundaries. You'll learn how to recognize when you've been unconsciously absorbing others' emotions, reclaim your sense of self through intentional boundary-setting, and create space for what truly brings you joy. The Armadillo appears now because there's a part of you ready to awaken to this protective energy - to stop being a doormat and start honoring your authentic needs.
