From the Sacred India Tarot, the Ace of Wands; from the Land Sky Oracle, Kapalabhati Pranayama:
In the Ramayana, Prince Rama attempts to rescue his abducted wife Sita from the demon king Ravana, the ruler of Lanka. But there is a great expanse of ocean between India and Lanka, with no way to for Rama and his allies to cross it. Yet monkeys managed to build a bridge of floating stones to do just that. This story illustrates how we often are given an opportunity to follow a passion or dream, but our mind creates excuses why it won't pan out. Kapalabhati, literally 'skull shining,' is a breathing technique said to bring clarity and energy. A slow, relaxed in-breath is followed by a forcible out-breath. In a like manner, before we trash a favorable chance to accomplish something, we may need to calm our self and release any out-dated or misinformed beliefs that might be get in our way.
