The journey of the Mermaids and Dolphins deck continues to amaze me. The other morning I started my day with the cards, as I continued the story that is unfolding. Previously I shared that the cards in the deck that were right side up as I was thumbing through them before shuffling them, were speaking volumes to me. I am still on that journey of choosing to read the next card the next day... Sometimes I have read a card in the morning and a card at bedtime. Sometimes I go days without reading one. The choice is in the moment and beautiful choices they have been.
Like a couple of mornings ago, I ended up reading 4 cards. They seemed to belong together like a road map for the day.
As I revisit the cards to write this, I notice the darkness in the picture and the light shining from inside the TREASURE CHEST. The words in the guidebook remind me to "remain in a state of gratitude...., it reveals your faith..." Treasure that ".... comes in wonderfully unexpected ways"
The picture on MUSIC FOR MANIFESTING has a mermaid playing a harp. I remember my joy as I experienced playing a harp one year at the Therapeutic Touch workshops on Orcus Island. Those memories open a whole new door to a flood of delightful memories and remembering people that I hadn't thought about for years - treasured annual workshop friends.
As I write this, I hum as I follow the cards instruction to add more music "To manifest rapidly, think of your hearts desire while you chant, hum, sing, or play music" Every word in the guidebook sings to me. "....Music is part of the invisible realm, and is of a higher frequency than that of the physical plane..." " .... Move your body to the music, and breathe in deeply as you listen to it, drawing in the energy of each note..." " .... Use music as a manifestation tool...." "... self-made music sends your manifestations into the ethers....." Making sound makes me breathe deeper.
Then there were 2 upside down cards and for the 1st time on this journey I wonder what those cards are. Should I look at them? Are they supposed to be part of the journey? Should I have been looking at all the upside down cards all along? Why am I curious about them now? I had no trouble surrendering, ignoring, letting them go before. What am I supposed to do now? Okay, okay - so I looked. The 2 cards are READY, SET, GO and EMPOWERMENT. Both cards I have pulled and wrote about before. They are a confirmation of what I am already doing - writing and sharing. They make sense and are definitely part of this mornings story.
To refresh, READY, SET, GO reads - "Now is the perfect moment to dive in and embrace your heart's desire." EMPOWERMENT - "You're more powerful than you realize. It is safe for you to be powerful."
Which leads me to the next right side up card. DREAM BIG. "Let go of small thoughts about yourself! See yourself succeeding." I have pulled and written about this card before. It instructs me to write down on paper all my fears and then drown the paper in water. No, I haven't done that exercise yet.
CONTEMPLATION TIME - "Spend time alone, meditating upon what you truly desire." is the final card in the group of four. The guidebook exercise is to get outside in nature with a pad and pen and write questions and answers to - "... What do I want to do next? What's my heart's true desire right now?"
Again, a strong "desire" theme keeps coming up - at Unity, with the cards, everywhere.
I didn't ink it, but I did experience the most divine led day yesterday connecting with and enjoying nature as I walked on Mother Earth and witnessed crow and blue Heron and soaked in all that the trees offered. All because I forgot to take the bag of slides I was taking to the library to scan and digitize when Ralph dropped me off on his way to his TOPS meeting. This unexpected side trip of catching the bus to where Ralph was going to, was magical. It structured the timing of the day differently. I started scanning slides late which made finishing the project later. Ralph had joined me after his meeting, and we decided to finish the job instead of coming back again. This was the 3rd day this week we had been doing this job and it felt good to be finishing today.
Timing was perfect. We were finished in time for the Friday night dinner at the seniors centre, yummy BBQ ribs this week. So you see, it was all meant to be.
Mistakes are just detours to enjoy.
