A Grateful Heart finds joy in the Journey. ~ Unknown
When we look at Earth, and all of existence, it is easy to see an abundant flow of creativity, unerring beauty and endless possibility. ~ Toni Carmine Salerno
Here we find another deck created by this amazing artist in 2018.
The deck was designed to broaden our sense of being through the frequencies of our Sacred Earth, and her expressions in nature. The pulse of the Divine moves through all of creation and where everything is Divine, all things are equal reflections of each other. So, it is through this understanding we can find ourselves in nature. What we know of ourselves can be mirrored back to us and facets of us that are not yet conscious may be enlivened and embraced.
‘From the color and form of the artwork, to the beat and sound of the text, this oracle is here to expand your experience of our planet and yourself divinely wise and loving beings. It comes with the reminder that although we are all unique beings with our own agency, we are all connect. What Earth knows, you can know. What you know, The world can know.’ ~ Toni
Today's Card is Stretch
Earthly Meaning ~ put yourself forward. Stand in the sun. grab an opportunity and run with it. Reach beyond the shade, out of the comfort of darkness, and step into life. Holding yourself back is counterintuitive. Doubt, fear, anxiety and grief may be part of your journey, but don’t let them be the journey. Reach out. Stretch yourself little by little, grow strong and LIVE!
Spiritual Meaning ~ in a fleeting moment of grace, in the space between your thoughts, you glimpse a silent bliss that is beyond words or description. This all-encompassing love is your soulful, spiritual center. It's is without beginning or end. Reach for it, and this state of grace shall be a guiding light in this world and beyond. It is life … it is eternal.
Insight ~ to secure a place in the sun, plants stretch and grow towards the sunlight. Even though they are fixed in place, they actively avoid the shade cast by their neighbors and reach single-purposely for the light. Beneath the surface of the earth, they extend themselves in the search for water and nutrients. All that they reach for is transformed into growth making them strong and fruitful.
The urge towards that which will nurture and enrich you is instinct. It is natural. It is life. Position yourself towards all that is life affirming – words, foods, activities, hobbies, songs, images. Grasp for goodness, grow beyond the shade and be fruitful. Remember, a seedling doesn’t grow beyond the canopy overnight. It gets there by consistently seeking the light that is just out of reach.
Get outside today and soak up the sun!! Sun Salutations Yoga for the Yogis in the group / or just a walk on the pathways around town enjoying the beauty and love of Mamma Nature!
In grace and gratitude,
