Never was into tarot cards and the likes … any kind of fortune telling I always thought was silly coming from a very traditional conservative place of intellect…of how things ought to be.
So here I am at my lovely Reiki healer’s session, I am invited to draw a card out of nearly 70 cards…I don’t even know what these cards are called but each one has a mandala drawing. I reached out and pulled out this one. She reads it to me… I could not believe my ears – No, Really?
You are changing rapidly now to your higher nature. Let the angles of light heal you and help you shift. The transfiguration of the human being, a momentous change into something superior. Embrace it and you can become as different as a caterpillar is to a butterfly. Don’t be too concerned if people have a difficult time adapting to your changes. Give them time to adjust. As you evolve you will attract new people into your life and the events around you will support the new you.
This is the mandala of a person who can soothe other people by the power of the spoken word as well as their very presence. Someone who can help people with their grief and with the crossing over of loved ones. In a practical way, it could represent a nice person who is very calm and does not realize the mastery that they have gone through.
Artist’s Insight:
Transmutation is the result of constant spinning. (as a vertigo sufferer, yes, but ?)
There are no shortcuts but don’t give up. Trust and keep going.
By steadily working toward healing and transformation, you create a field for it in your life.Key words: metamorphosis, transfigure, change.
She says her cards have been dead on with others …but… Really? At the moment, all I feel is that there is a resistance by those who cannot accept me shifting in another way. It’s a work in progress as with anything, to mutually accept the others’ (seen as not always positive) changes and then to adapt… it’s not easy in any relationships. The shift in me is the fact that I am actually here, even drawing this kind of a card and having this session – the me-before would have rolled her eyes and laughed at doing something remotely like this in disdain. So … people change when…
I really love my time with my Reiki healer – she is so other-worldly, okay, New Age-y sometimes… just sharing the space with her is grounding to me. Centering, I do with my yoga practice I think well, but in terms of grounding when my energy is depleted, time with someone like her is quite gravitational. In each session we meet, we move up a chakra. Last time, we started out with our root chakra, Muladhara, this time, moving up to the second chakra, Svadhishthana or Sacral chakra located 2-3 fingers under your belly button,i.e., “hara” or “tanden”. She does NOT use any yogic terminology as that’s not her background so … to me, all the more refreshing as Sanskrit was getting to be too pretentious (I am not a very good yogi). Just hanging out with her, I feel this soft feminine energy … it’s very haaahhhhh – sigh of relief. (turns out Svadhishthana, a sanskrit word I have trouble pronouncing means, sweetness – sweet:)
It was exactly reflective of my thoughts when she said – “We were put on this earth to learn to feel.” YES. Many of us want to pick and choose our feelings and do not want to feel any negative feelings. Some even freak out whenever, there’s a feeling a tad …shall I way, “bad””awful””sad””depressed””angry””scared” etc. Some may go into unhealthy dependencies to avoid those blue grey black feelings all together … We all want to feel good and happy all the time but… only by feeling the negative emotions, we can truly feel the other end of the spectrum… so when you feel bad, it’s okay and not be so hard on yourself by passing some judgement on your character as being less than ideal. You are NOT weak or inadequate. Celebrate being only human. Know that’s why you were placed on this planet – to experience and explore all kinds of feelings, good and bad, the full gamut, the full range – that awareness. We are blessed to be given the ability to feel – to have feelings. Sometimes of Joy, but sometimes, not. And know that each feeling, like the weather pattern…passes… changes… Except, of course, feelings of true love that spring from the deep well in the heart…so deep, you might call it from your soul – those feelings of love and kindness, that’s infinite, endless and unchanging.
Read in Japanese too…for full comprehension…as I was still tilting my head with the ??? look ??? Only time will tell if this will turn out to be true. Will just keep spinning:)
Wow, whoever did the English to Japanese translation – I so respect. Good job.
By the way, yoga makes you feel … GOOD:) It works.
