First Chakra – Grounded in My Body

by

I made this card to honor my first, root chakra in a different way, specifically about my physical body.Ā  I’ve been inspired to create these chakra cards because of the tele-classes I’ve been participating in with SoulCollageĀ® Facilitator Jenni Holloway .

Who Are You?

I am the one who loves my legs, my feet,Ā  my body.Ā  I am the one with both feet planted firmly on the earth.Ā  I am the one who allows my feet to show me the way. I am the one who allows my legs to give me support.Ā  I am the one who honors my body, who remembers to point my toes forward when I am standing still or walking.Ā  I am the one who gives my body a healthy foundation.Ā  I am the one whose energy is reflected in the color red.

What Do You Have To Give Me?

I give you strength and poise and a deep reminder that you are connected to this earth.Ā  I give you the pleasure of being in your body.Ā  I give you the reminder that you don’t always have to live in your head.Ā  I give you vibrancy and energy and the deep protectiveness of earth.

What Do You Want From Me?

I want you to know that you are more than what is in your head, more than your thoughts. I want you to stay grounded, to breathe into your legs and feet, and to remember that you have a body and to take care of it always.Ā  I want you to remember me when you see the color RED!

Groundhog Day Reading- Surprise!

by

This is one of the cards I drew in my daily reading this morning.  And I’ll admit, I didn’t even realize it was Groundhog Day when I first began this writing.  But halfway through, when I started writing about the shadows, it came to me, “Oh my gosh, it’s Groundhog Day!
Sc56666871
And this card is all about SHADOWS!   Which is what I most especially love about SoulCollage!

I am the one who stands at the open curtain with my lips pursed.  I am the one who is beginning to come out of hiding.  I am the one who is bathed in shadow and light.

I am the one who raises my face to the heavens, to the light and who embraces my light and dark parts.

I am the one who has been behind the curtain and who now is looking out to see where the shadows are coming from.

My message for you today is thisā€¦ hold my hand, stand by my side as I look out this window.  Seeing my own shadows is scary, you know. I donā€™t like looking at the shadowy figures in my mind.

And itā€™s not a coincidence that today is Groundhogā€™s Day.  He is looking to see his shadow.  6 more weeks of winter if he does!  And when he does, everyone groans and whines about more winter.  But for me, I am happy to see my shadow because it means there is more light!  I am happy to see my shadow because it means I am seeing more and more of my whole, real, authentic, beautiful self.

New Year’s Day SoulCollageĀ® Card Reading

by

Not EnoughI drew two cards yesterday as part of my Daily Readings ritual with my SoulCollageĀ® Deck.  I wasn’t specifically asking for guidance in the New Year, but look what wisdom I unveiled!

NOT ENOUGH

I am the one who was led to believe I wasn’t enough.

Not pretty enough, not smart enough, not good enough, not sexy enough, not loving enough. 

I am the one who was locked into that belief for many, many years.

I am the one who hid for decades behind masks.

I am the one who felt so ashamed all the time. 

My message for you today is this- please take care of me. 

Remind me that I AM enough. Shelter me.  Hold me.  Feed me with joy and with present moment awareness of Source.  My energy no longer serves you.  Remember that.  Don’t let me start believing the old stories again.

So I was a little annoyed at first because I drew such a DARK card to start of my New Year.

But…. look at what I drew for my second card:

Metamorphosis METAMORPHOSIS

I am the one who is bursting forth into butterfly beauty. 

I am the one who is transforming into my truest divine nature. 

I am the one who shatters the beliefs and lessons of the past. 

I am the one sailing, flying, on a sea of jeweled green heart-growth. 

I am the one who smiles, looking inward.

I am the one who is leaving behind the musty coccoon. 

I am the one who is unfolding my wings, leaving the past behind.
