From the Somnia Tarot, the Ace of Coins; from the Spirits of Nature Oracle, Rose (Love):
Among the fog, several chests sit half-buried, yet only one produces a coin. This display reminds me of all the advertising that constantly tries to sell us their 'chests,' most of which will only supply us with a brief moment of contentment. Yes, we do need income to supply us with necessary shelter, food, clothing and a bit of fun. But wellness of the body is our greatest wealth - a gift that is easy to forget about when there is so much shiny bling to attract our attention. The Rose has long symbolized love, and with the Ace of Coins, it asks us to look at our priorities. What is more important: an accumulation of possessions or the physical care of our bodies?
I will never forget the feeling of my body responding, "singing with delight," when for the first time I began using the affirmation "I love and approve of my body." How we think about our bodies matters so much! -Kate
ReplyDeleteIt does matter, but I often forget how important it is until I'm sick or in pain, then I remember what a gift it is!
