I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Re-calibration of the Brain

From the Buckland Romani Tarot, the Nine of Koshes (Wands); from the Lakota Sweat Lodge Cards, "Pejuta Wakan:"
          The teacup and parked vardo suggest a pause in the busyness of this Rom's life, yet it isn't a time to rest but a time to make preparations. There is a battle coming, not necessarily the "taking up arms" kind, but a major challenge just the same. I imagine him as a horse trainer with an important race in the near future. His nervous energy is creatively directed into making whips. The task keeps him focused and sharp, ready for action. Pejuta Wakan, the second card, honors the sacred herbs of the Lakota - sage, sweet grass and cedar. These plants represent a type of healing that encompasses more than just the physical: "healing integral to your overall growth and development." To reach his objective, it will be necessary for his mind to be clear, without denial or delusion. "Healing your belief system is the first step in healing yourself physically, spiritually, emotionally and mentally."

      My challenge is usually first to notice how muddled my thinking is! :)

    Well said. I suppose we are preparing for something even when making snow angels.

      My planning brain rarely shuts off, which may be part of the problem. More doing, less thinking. :D

    Love that quote at the end, Bev, where is it from? I've been doing a lot of work on how to help people change limiting beliefs, as it really does affect everything else! Hmm, reminding people of herbs that can help with clarity of mind is a really good suggestion :)

      The quote is from the Lakota Sweat Lodge Cards companion book. :) Our beliefs are the key that can unlock a door, or unused, keep it locked forever.
