I have to laugh… really laugh at the daily reading I just did with my SoulCollageĀ® deck.Ā And my mirth is bubbling over, and I just have to share it with you!
Tomorrow morning I am leaving for three full days of an “Unplugged” retreat at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, which is in Western MA, about 2.5 hours from my home.Ā I am feeling really excited by this opportunity to unplug, and reconnect to myself on the inside, so to speak.Ā The retreat I am attending is called “Writing the Mind Alive” and based on the Proprioceptive Writing process. Am so happy about bringing my own soul back into my writing.
But I digress… I am laughing because the two cards I drew today in my daily reading are all about solitude, rest, and going within!
Solitude
I am the one who curls into myself, who closes my eyes and goes within, who rests in the solid, secure knowing that I am safe, that the waves will not overtake me or wash me away.
I am the one who is at home tucked away in my soft, beautiful shell.Ā I am the one who is at home near the ocean, water.
I am the one who is watched over and protected by luscious purple divine growth. I am the one who is watched over while i sleep, protected while I go on inner journeys.
My message for you today is this… enjoy your Unplugged weekend.Ā Rest in the safety that accompanies all of your inner journeys. Breathe. Rest. All is well.
PERMISSION TO REST
I am the one who is content to just BE.Ā I am the one who doesn’t always have to be DOING something.Ā I am the one who gives you permission to rest.
It is not a coincidence that you drew these two cards today, right before your Kripalu retreat.Ā This is a retreat that you are receiving, not giving, not leading… but a retreat for YOU to receive.Ā Give yourself permission to rest while you are there. Give yourselfĀ permission to receive.Ā Relax. Be still. Let go.Ā And see what comes to you.
I am the one who is only 12 years old. I am the one who has been watched over since I was born. I am the one who has been guided and protected by these female figures of light. I am the one who is not alone, who has never been alone, who never will be alone.
I am the one who wears crow paint, who is marked with the sign of Crow. I am the one who is protected by Crow Energy, Crow Love.Ā I am the one who looks ahead to the future.Ā My message for you today is this- you are not alone. You are guided and protected by deep Crow energy.Ā It is very strong in your life even though you may not understand it.Ā Be patient.Ā Open your heart as you look ahead to the next year of your life.
