I've drawn 3 cards for the group, focus on the photo and choose the card you are drawn to, 1, 2 or 3. Cards are Messages from your Animal Spirit Guides which I haven't used for a while but felt drawn to today.
REVEAL coming up card 1...Goose 'Take time to rest and recuperate rather than continuing your striving'....The irony of this is that by resting and conserving your energy you can actually mobilize your internal resources for the next cycle of work and accomplish that much more. In this fast paced world with all of its pressures that impinge upon you, it's difficult to take regular periods of time off, yet it's critical to your health and well being to do so. Let this rest period be an opportunity to do the things that help your body recover from the stress and strain of your recent activities. These periods of rest needn't be lengthy, sleep in, get a massage, spend some time with a friend, take a salt bath, get out of town and explore the woods...anything that will bring you peace of mind. Turn off your phone and computer and enjoy the sunset.
Card 2 Tortoise...'You're too fragmented, do whatever it takes to get grounded' When you're feeling pressure on any number of fronts-pulled this way and that by the demands of modern life- it's very easy to succumb to a false sense of urgency, feel out of balance and fragmented, and be in a constant state of tension. First, recognize that most things you treat as emergencies or crises are simply inconveniences...then slow down! Move a little slower than you're used to, and practice breathing slowly and deeply. This helps you align to your internal rhythms, rather than being in a state of continuous reactivity to outside events. Spend time in nature, take off your shoes and socks...putting your bare feet on the ground allows you to truly experience your solid connection to the earth. Notice the difference in how you feel and see if your mind is at least a bit calmer.
Card 3 Humpback Whale 'Music is essential to your healing and well being, whether singing, playing an instrument, or listening' In order to diagnose their patients, one of the questions that shamans often asked was when the patient stopped singing. If it had been quite some time the shaman was certain to recommend singing , among other remedies, as an essential aspect of recovery. All that's involved when you sing - the fullness and rhythm of your breathing, the opening of your mouth and jaw, and the soulful and creative expression of your spirit - serves to enhance your health and raise your vibrations. Similarly playing an instrument can touch those inner creative depths that yearn to be expressed through song. Simply listening with your full attention to your favourite tune or melody can also inspire and heal. Make music as essential to your lifestyle as eating and breathing. Let the magical child inside help you rediscover the joy of creating music. Dive in and play!
