Huomenta!
Tänään minun oli suorastaan pakko taas kurkata Magic Earth- kortteihin.
Kolmen kortin ryhmästä nousi esiin:
Lähimenneisyys: LAKE- Stillness
“The subdued pastels of the early morning light quietly announce
that the night is over and the sun is rising. The lake itself has not
awakened from its rest and remains still and undisturbed. It welcomes
the coming day, ready to respond with grace and fluidity to whatever
currents and movements appear in its belly or upon its skin. The
surrounding vegetation thrives from the abundant water near the
shoreline, and the unoccupied boat lies in wait for its next passenger.
All is at rest in this scene.
It is in the deep, internal stillness that we find our Being and
come to know that we are intimately united with all of Creation. To
achieve this mindset, we must slow down once in a while and get away
from the surroundings that interfere and distract our inner tranquility.
When we do so, this profound stillness is available at all times,
regardless of the environment.
We can experience this sensation with
steady, conscious breathing; or we can simply pause for a few moments
and be still.
The tempo of life these days has sped up considerable, and there
seems to be no end to this quickening pace. Immersed as we are in the
technological whirlpool, there seems no escape. However, there is no
need to be a prisoner to the “hurry up” syndrome, nor is there a need to
feel trapped by the awareness of the collective intensities that
massive numbers of humans are experiencing these days.
No matter if the noise is from your environment or your seemingly
nonstop thinking, it is critical for you to seek stillness. Find it in
your world, whether it is a special place in your home or a place in
Nature that is far from human made noise. Of particular importance is
finding it inside yourself, which can be made easier by being in a quiet
place in a natural setting. Doing so not only relaxes your mind, but
also heightens your awareness and senses.”

Tämä hetki: WHALE - Breach
“This powerful creature of the ocean takes a few great sweeps
with his fins and propels himself briefly out of the waters where he
spends the majority of his life. He is taking a break from the ordinary
Earth element in which he lives to exist even for a few moments in the
realm of blue skies and sun, having broken through the skin of the ocean
in a magnificent display of fullness and strength. All baleen whales
breach, but none more spectacularly than the humpbacks, considered the
acrobats of this family. They arch, stretch, and twist their bodies even
as they approach the surface of the water, in what may be an ancient
mating ritual, a form of communication, or even a way to remove
parasites.
In this image, the humpback whale that has burst out of the ocean
expresses an almost palpable feeling of release and joy. Often when we
manage to change our environment – to break through illusory blockages –
we experience an intense feeling of relief and can let go of any
previously held fears and assumptions of what would happen once we did
overcome that barrier, whether it is material, emotional, or mental.
Simply getting away from the trance of technology for a few hours and
spending that time in Nature is a breach from the trappings of
civilization that can suffocate us and prevent us from connecting to
Earth.
It is time to take a break! Not just a coffee break, but a
respite from the usual environment you find yourself in. That trip you
wanted to take? Go for it. Tired of being indoors? Make it a point to
get outside. You have become so attached to your surroundings that you
have created within them an illusion of safety, yet it is not these
things that make you feel safe. Rather, the familiarity you have imbued
in your surroundings have generated this false sense of security.
Taking time away from the familiar is literally about changing
your external environment in a significant way, such as doing something
unusual or perhaps something you have always wanted to experience.
Another perspective is breaking through the barrier of beliefs that have
constricted you in any way from being who you truly are. This is your
opportunity to do some intentional breaching of these through patterns,
which will open you to different worlds and perspectives.”

Lähitulevaisuus: WIND- Activation
“The various currents of air that circulate on
our planet can be gentle enough to tickle the hairs on our arms or so
fierce that they destroy man-made structures, as well as trees and other
vegetation. Wind moves the air to circulate the atmosphere and keep it
from becoming stagnant. When there is no movement, the atmosphere feels
somehow heavier. Gentle breezes help cool the land and pollinate
flowers, whereas more tempestuous winds can snap tree branches off and
stir something deeply within us. More violent winds can create temporary
chaos with their ferocity.
No matter the degree of intensity, wind will activate us. IN this
image, the breath of the god of wind stirs the sea and rearranges the
sky. As this occurs, the weather shifts. The effects, even in this small
area, send ripples throughout, blending and dancing with the water and
the sky. It activates the atmosphere and the world feels more alive when
there is wind.
The lethargy you feel is the result of a lack of activation – in
other world, something that stirs your senses. This could be anything
from walking outdoors, feeling the breeze on your body, or inhaling the
different aromas that Nature herself provides. Or is could be finding
the pleasure in a warm bath that helps you release the tension and
stress from your mind and body. Music may activate your hearing, which
sparks the pleasure centers in your brain. Art may activate your
emotional responses. The touch of another human may activate a deep need
to be physically held in some manner once again.
Now is the time for action. Engage in some activity and be fully
present so that you forget about your surroundings and enter into that
timeless and multidimensional experience of union with the focus of your
creative attention. Let you physical body be active. Movement alone –
whether quietly dancing by yourself or hiking up that hill over yonder –
will require you to be as present as possible in your body. Enjoy!”

Taas kuulin kutsun mennä luontoon, ottaa rennosti ja rauhoittua. Luonto kyllä parantaa! Kyllä eilinen auringonpaistekin toi iloa monen elämään, uskoisin näin!
Ihanaa torstaita Sinulle!!!
