Powerful

by
I am the one who is powerful.
I am the one who is powerful.

 

I made this card YEARS ago and at the time it was speaking to me about power- good power, centered and balanced strength and power.

As the years have gone by, however, another meaning has come forth from this card.Ā  And believe it or not, I didn’t actually notice the larger hand in the background which is holding up the earth.

This Neter showed up today for me in my Every-Other-Daily-Reading and this is what it said to me:

I am the one who is powerful.Ā  I am the one who gets my strength and power from a place of balance and centeredness.

I am the one who can carry ANYthing because there is a Power greater than me doing the actual carrying.

What I have to say to you today is this- What are you struggling to carry right now? Name it.

Can you be still for a moment and see that Another Hand is already carrying it for you?

Ah!Ā  I love it when my cards ask ME questions in return!

Success from Defeat

by

scsuccessI am the one who was measured and laid low by defeat and failure and now I am free and now I am successful and now I am no longer defeated.Ā  I am the one who survived and lived to tell the story of how difficult it was, before, and how easy it is, now.Ā  I am the one who raises my arms in triumph.

I am the one who was supported and guided by the Divine Ones on my journey from “there” to “here.”

My message for you today is this: it’s a journey, it’s always a journey.Ā  And there are still some places in your life where you are feeling defeated.Ā  What are those places, what is that place, where you currently experience defeat?Ā  Use the energy and power of the little girl on this card and find a way to bring yourself from defeat to triumph.

This was a new message for me, from this card- the bit about using the energy of the image of the little girl to bring failure/defeat to success.Ā  So I decided to ask the little girl a bit about herself. And this is what she said:

I am the one who is young and beautiful and dressed in party clothes, clothes of celebration.Ā  I am the one who is watching what takes place.Ā  I am the one whose magic is my innocence.Ā  I am the one whose magic is in my belief that wonderful things can and do happen, and often.

I am the one whose magic wishing dandelion is touching the defeated one’s leg.Ā 

I am the one who transforms the defeat into the triumph with my belief that all is well, that all is possible.

My message for you today is this: believe that your body will get back to its natural weight, and it will.Ā  It may sound naive and innocent, but in my words is wrapped the wisdom of the Universe.

 

Colorful Possibilities

by
I am the one who relaxes against the backdrop of many bright colorful possibilities.
I am the one who relaxes against the backdrop of many bright colorful possibilities.

Who are you?

I am the one who lies here, relaxed and stretching luxuriously.Ā  I am the one who is wrapped in colorful rainbows.Ā  I am the one who balances on this downward incline. I am the one who keeps my balance.

I am the one who is flexible. I am the one who rests against the backdrop of rainbow-colored windows.Ā  I am the one who knows these windows are opening to me to colorful possibilities of what is next.

What do you have to say to me today?

My message for you today is this- rest, relax, stretch your body, do not neglect your body.Ā  Do not feel like you have to open every window and poke your head out to see what is on the other side. Ā These windows are all portals to possibilities that await you.Ā  You cannot open/see through them all at once.Ā  Take your time, rest, relax, let go of the striving, just be with the possibilities and all willĀ  be made clear in time.

 

 

Time in a Bottle

by

I am the one who is running out of time. I am the one who knows that I donā€™t have all the time in the world.Ā  I am the one who is afraid that I canā€™t get everything done in time.

I am the one who has so much to do and to share with the world and not enough time to do it. I am the one who tries to capture time and save it, hoard it, hang on to it because I think I can control it better this way.

My message for you today is this: Pay attention to your relationship with time. You are hurting yourself with your attitude towards time. Time keeps ticking on, even if you hoard all of the clocks in the world into locked jars and cabinets.

 

This card is one that I made several years ago and it accurately reflects exactly how I feel about the passing of time.Ā  Sometimes I look at it and think that the large image of the woman in the top right corner might be the Keeper of Time, but whenever I read from it, I tap into the energy of the sadness of time passing. So here it came to me again, last week, in one of my daily readings, and after I had just gone on at length in my journal about how there is so much to get done, and how am I going to get it all done..etc. You know the drill!

I find great comfort in this card, even though it seems to remind me of my powerlessness in the face of Time.Ā  It helps me to remember that time is just a mental construct, and that as long as I keep myself in THIS moment, right now, that is all that matters.

And when I CAN do this… stay in the present moment…. then I find deep peace, and my worries and fears about getting everything done (or not done!) simply fade away.

Stay Away

by

When I first made this card, I thought I knew what it was about. A friend had seen the background image of the heavens (on the right) and remarked that the long mark looked like a wound. I couldn’t stop thinking about that!

So when I made this card, I thought it was to honor the part of me who wants to put a halt to any more wounding.

I thought that was odd, because I’ve done SO much work on past emotional wounds and scarring.Ā  So I was only a little surprised to discover what this image was REALLY saying to me!

Here is my journaling so far with this amazing card. I have the feeling she still has LOTS to say to me and I will be listening!

Who are you?
I am the one who is saying don’t come near to my scars. Don’t come near to my brilliance either. I am the one who is larger than the scar.Ā  I am the one who doesn’t want people to see my wounds. I am the one who also doesn’t want people to see my bright and shining self.Ā  I am the one who MEANS IT!!!


What do you have to give me?
I give you protection.Ā  I keep people away from the real, true, inner you.Ā  I keep you safe from those who would make your wounds deeper. I also keep you away from people who would be hurt by your brilliance.

What do you need from me?
I need you to be careful who and what you are allowing into our life.Ā  I need you to be watchful of your physical and emotional energy field.

Is there anything else you have to say to me?
Yes!Ā  My original intention was only to keep away anyone and anything that might open up old wounds and undo the emotional healing you have worked so hard at. But in doing that, sometimes I don’t discriminate. Sometimes I just keep everyone away. It’s hard work, letting people see only the bright side of you and not the woundedness, so sometimes I get mixed up and don’t let them in at all.
