Sample description about Committee Card Suite

All Kinds of Seeing, All Kinds of Knowing

by

scvisionI have had this card in my deck for eons and I love that its meaning now has broadened and deepened since the first time I journaled with it.Ā  It comes to me often in my every-other-daily readings and each time I feel reassured and reminded of my gift of inner and outer seeing.

I am the one with wide open eyes who sees clearly everything around me.Ā  I am the one who has eyes closed and who still can see with an inward sight.

I am the one with clear inner and outer vision.

I am the one who is sometimes troubled by what I see yet I remain open to the seeing because I can use all of it in my inner work as well as my outer work/ministry in the world.

I am the one who chooses what to use, from what I see, and what to disregard.

 

Inner Royalty

by

Queen

I’ve had this card in my deck since 2005 and when I first put these images together, these two were talking to me about being Queen of my Own Authentic Self.Ā  There was much in their mother-daughter story about caring for my inner princess as much as my inner queen, about ruling with authority and kindness and nurturing.

However, the last time I drew it in a reading, they said something else and something totally surprising!

We are the ones who rule your inner world.Ā  We are a mother-daughter team and we rule with joy and compassion and deep intention, thoughtfulness.Ā  We are the ones who live in the Castle of Contentment.Ā  That is our home and we rule your inner world with peace and radical acceptance.

There is a king as well but he has not made himself known yet. Now he is in the realm of your thoughts.Ā  He will make himself known to you soon.

Together we (king and queen) parent the princess, and offer love to one another so that your inner world will be stable and complete.Ā 

Our message for you today is this: we do not rule with laws and punishment.Ā  We rule with gentle acceptance, forgiveness and love. This is our message. No further explanations necessary. Hear us. Listen. Know.

I do so love that my cards are continually surprising me!

Because of this latest info, I’ve decided to name this card Inner Royalty instead of Queen of My Authentic Self.Ā  And I’m now on the lookout for an image of a kindly king who will fit on the right side of the card.

Stay open to new messages from your cards and you’ll be pleasantly surprised too!

 

I Am the One Who Prays

by

scaskhelpThis is a Committee card from my deck. It represents an inner part of me, the part who prays, and who believes in the power of prayer.

Who are you?

I am the one who spent many hours on my knees in church, praying. I am the one who believes that Someone is listening when I pray. I am the one who feels comfort and deep connection to all living things when I pray. I am the one who believes in the power of gratitude and supplication.Ā  I am the one who prays for others, who prays for myself, who prays for the world.

What do you have to give me?

I give you solace.Ā  I give you sustenance. I give you a channel through which you can connect with the Divine energy that connects everyone and every living thing.

What do you want from me?

I want you to honor me by praying consciously every day. I want you to write your prayers sometimes as that seems to focus you more. I want you to remember that Spirit is always listening. I want you to know that even the smallest thing can be taken to Spirit in prayer.

Is there anything else you want to say to me TODAY?

Yes! I sense your distinct sadness over the death of Robin Williams yesterday. I urge you to close your eyes for a moment and offer your sadness up to Spirit. I suggest that you spend some time today praying for his family and for those who were close to him.Ā  This will soothe your heart and ease your sadness.Ā  You have been thinking that there is nothing you can do, but there IS something you can do.Ā  Use my energy to pray.

 

Emotional Boundaries

I am the one who creates emotional boundaries.
I am the one who creates emotional boundaries.

 

I made this card in 2007, intentionally, to remind myself to create boundaries around myself emotionally.Ā  It took me a while to find just the right images though!

Who are you?

I am the one who can by happy and content and shining even though others around me are sad and miserable.Ā  I am the one who knows that I am separate from those around me.

I am the one who is in touch with the pulse of my own inner life, of my soul, at all times.Ā  I am the one who cares about the misery and sadness of others around me but who knows I don’t have to wear/breathe in/inhale/BECOME their misery and sadness in order to love them.

 

What do you have to give me?

I give you emotional boundaries… the knowing of where others end and you begin.Ā  I give you permissoin to feel JOY and to SHINE in spite of the unhappiness of others around you.

 

What do you want from me?

I want you to know that there is a difference between THEM and YOU.Ā  That you do not have to absorb the pain of others because you are separate from them.Ā  I want you to shine your inner light and to smile/laugh/let yourself FEEL GOOD even when there is sadness and drama around you.

 

Powerful

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!
