freedom

Freedom

scunknown111Here is a card I made last year at our annual KaleidoSoul SoulCollageĀ® retreat. I made it intuitively, just loving the images and putting them together on the mat board in a way that felt satisfying to my eye and also to my soul.

I recently worked with this Neter and here is what she told me:

I am the one who offers myself to the Divine Universe- take me, I’m Yours.Ā  I am the one who has stripped off all clothing, all masks, all illusions.Ā  I am the one who is wide open, trusting.

I am the one who was behind closed doors but now I am free.Ā 

I am the one who offers up all that I am and all I have, who is willing to let it all go in this powerful stance of open glory.

i am the one who can go and hide behind that heavy door again, where it is safe, but now I feel no need to shut myself back up again.

I love the feeling of expansiveness, of freedom in this card. Sometimes I think of her as the part of me who used to be locked up/imprisoned by my sugar addiction and who now is free from it.Ā  And other times I think of her as the one whose life was halted for a year in 2011-12 when I had to deal with cancer again.

For now, this card, for me, is hard to classify. It will take some more work with this Neter to discover which category to place her in.Ā  And I may never know.Ā  For now, it is enough that she is here, that this part of me is free.

 

Breaking Through

Breaking Through

I made this card well over a year ago, more like two years.Ā  And it has just now shown up in a daily reading!Ā  I’ve been away from this blog for several months as I put aside several tasks in order to let my body and mind rest from the cancer treatments and surgeries.

So it’s especially poignant to me, that THIS is the card that showed up the week I decided to start sharing my cards in this blog again!

If you click on the card, you can see a larger version of it. You’ll see words on both sides of the image- negative, destructive, fearful words on the left side in black and white, and brighter, more positive words on the right, more colorful side.

I am the one who is finally breaking through a wall that previously I’ve been unable to get through.Ā  I am the one who now finds this wall transparent and fluid- and easy to break through.

I am the one who is calm and serene as I break away from the old black and white fears and angers and insecurities and into this bright new world of strength and divinity and the deep inner wisdom of my body.

My message for you today is this- this is not something that you have to do again and again and again.Ā  You have broken through the wall and there is no going back.Ā  Your body is reflecting this new movement forward.Ā  Smile!Ā  Rejoice!Ā  Be grateful.Ā  You are now lighter and stronger than ever before!
