The reveal is up on this post!! May your card bring you reflection as a tool for your upcoming week...Have a beautiful week filled with Love, Light, Healing and always MAGIC πππ
LEFT: ~ DRAGONFLY ~
βEmergenceβ
In the stages of the life cycle of a dragonfly, once the egg is laid upon a floating plant or dropped into the water, it gestates, hatches, and may remain for up to four years in this larval form called a nymph. This is a precursor to the dragonfly. (Dragonflies skip the cocoon stage, moving from egg directly to nymph.) At some point, the nymph climbs onto a rock or leaf and there emerges from its former body and takes on the shape and character of the adult dragonfly. This radiant being then proceeds to illuminate our eyes and hearts as we witness its dramatic colors and magical dance along the surface of the water.
In this card, we see a Nature Goddess, like the dragonfly, emerging from the water, her hair braided with vines dotted with flowers. She is surrounded by dragonflies and is one with the vibrant plant life thriving in the pond. The goddess emerges from her gestation in the water transformed, with a renewed sense of power and purpose.
You are in an intense process of emergence into the next cycle of your life. Unlike more gradual shifts in awareness you have experienced, this one is happening quite rapidly and came on somewhat unexpectedly, without any pauses for contemplation or indecision. You may even think that you are unprepared for such dramatic changes in your life, yet you are prepared and can put to use the experiences and wisdom you have accumulated up to now.
Life is demanding that you move into the next stage of maturity. This requires you to adjust your thinking about yourself, others and your community. It calls for you to shed yet another layer of your ego-filled defenses and let go of any illusions of being less than who you are.
This period of emergence is one of broadened consciousness and heightened perceptual capacities; and since it is inevitable, it is best to surrender to the flow and allow yourself to gracefully move into the next cycle of your life.
MIDDLE: ~ LOVE ~
βCompassionβ
In this beautiful image, we see hands reaching toward each other through a heart. The green field surrounding them is the color of the fourth, or Heart, Chakra. It is when we feel love in our heart center that we not only naturally emit the healing energy of compassion, but we also attract love and compassion. Studies by the HeartMath institute reveal that the electrical signals from the heart are up to 60 times stronger than the brainβs, and the magnetic field is as much as 5,000 times more powerful.
It is a given that our thinking patterns affect our feelings and, in turn, our reality. What we put out βwhether it is love, fear, empathy, sadness, and so forthβ contains an incredible amount of power to shape and influence our reality. When the focus of our attention and intention is love and compassion, we recognize no separation between self and other.
All wounds stem from the illusion of separation from Source and all of Creation. The route to healing this wound is through cultivating love and compassion for every being on this planet, including yourself. Not a bland standard of unquestioned acceptance, but a heartfelt sense of profound relatedness to whatever you perceive as apart from yourself. True compassion requires not only the feeling of warmth that emanates when you are in touch with heart center, but in acts of kindness, even if this simply means being a fully attentive listener.
Respect the fact that your heart is a giver (putting out electrical energy) and a receiver (drawing in magnetic energy). These energies are best sensed by attending to the steady flow of your breathing while also noticing your heart area. Righteousness, fear, anger, and judgment are some common ways to block your natural desire to love. Forgiveness is not only letting go of judgment, but also seeing through the illusion that you and ALL-THAT-IS are separate. Look about you and inside of you, and do your best to love whatever you see.
RIGHT: ~ EAGLE ~ Communion
Here the man and the eagle make contact through their eyes and spirits. The man has performed a ceremonial calling to Eagle brother, who now comes to him as a familiar friend. Itβs an intimate relationship between human being and feathered being, one of both spirit and flesh. Yet itβs ultimately this deep spiritual kinship that connects them, formed from their recognition of the sacredness of this bond. Eagle Spirit is often associated with the highest and noblest, encouraging us to let our spirits soar. Through this communion, we know that we can touch the sky. We know that we can be more than just two-legged creatures clinging to the ground. We are intimately related to all of Life on the planet, and itβs through communing with any expression of Life that we realize how vitally connected we all are.
Whenever you experience a heartfelt communion with some physical expression of Life β plant, animal, human or anything else β it is only then that you can truly feel how your life force is similar to the life force that is all around you. It is only a matter of the differences in form. An essence is articulated into the physical world in a multitude of ways that is the same in everything and everyone, although it manifests in various shapes and characteristics. This essence is Spirit emanating from the core of all things. Communion with Nature is essential for you now. Take some time to do an open-eyed meditation with any nearby animal or plant. Relax your body as much as possible, breathe consciously, and keep your attention on the life-form you are communing with. After a few moments, you will notice a sense of the boundaries dissolving, a melding of the βIβ and βThouβ. You may even receive messages or impressions as you find yourself in the flow of unspoken communication.
