TAROT MEDITATION
In this exercise, we are using the Tarot card as “an outer mirror for the internal process”. Choose any card from the major arcana, which appeals to you at this particular moment. Gaze at the chosen card for some time, then close you eyes. Imagine yourself before a door. Depending on whether you are a visual or tactile type of person, attempt to actually ’see’ or ‘feel’ the door, focusing the mind on every small detail. When the picture is clear, open the door.Let the scene displayed in the Tarot card that you have chosen unfold in front of you. If you can see it all at once, well and good, otherwise build the picture bit by bit. What kind of landscape have you stepped into? Take your time to ‘fill in’ the details. Add anything, which will make it more real for you.When the scene is clear, imagine the figure from the Tarot card walking into it. If the card shows a seated figure, you can imagine yourself rounding a bend and coming across the person. Greet him or her much as you would anyone you are meeting and hold a conversation. Say anything you like, ask questions and get answers. Don’t try to force the pace. Let yourself respond completely to what is taking place in the scene visualized. This is a process of self-revelation, of opening your heart and mind to what you stand for and are at the present moment in your life.
Daily OM – Cleansing March 28, 2008

Cleansing Nature
Rain
There are times when we might feel the need to wash away all of our troubles and call forth freshness into our lives. Since the most cleansing substance on this earth is probably water, we can think of the joy rain brings as an energetic bath, rejuvenating our minds, bodies, and souls. Just being able to spend a few moments every time it rains to become aware of the healing powers water brings to us can renew us in so many ways. As we do this we will find that the more we appreciate the universe’s gift to us in the form of rain, the more we can see that a gentle rain shower is a strong reflective tool that has the ability to cleanse our entire being. The next time it rains might be a good chance to experience the rain through all of your senses, allowing you to truly understand the importance of each and every drop of water. First, take a few minutes to look outside and notice how each individual raindrop seems to come down in a continual stream. By noticing this you can contemplate how it takes many small accomplishments to create the whole of your existence for nothing exists in isolation. Then you might wish to focus your attention on the sound of the rainfall, letting the sounds of drops penetrate into the innermost recesses of your self. Listening in this way may bring you a greater sense of connection with nature and the world around you, knowing that the sounds you hear are an integral part of not just the physical sustenance you require but that they also nourish your spirit.Consciously using our senses to feel nature’s healing energy as it comes to us in the form of rain is an act of internal cleansing. Just as the rain physically washes over the earth and rinses out any impurities and imperfections, it also bathes our spirit in the joy that comes from knowing that we are one with the world around us.
Daily OM – permission from the land March 13, 2008

Acknowledging History
Permission From The Land When we acknowledge that every thing on our planet has its own energy and spirit, we have the opportunity to begin acting from that knowledge. Rather than thinking of rocks and fallen leaves as inanimate objects, we can remember that these items carry the energy of their past and their surroundings into the present moment before becoming something else. Just as we are molecules in motion, so are all things in the material world. Working in harmony with the universe means acknowledging that we are the same as the land and the stars, that we are all connected, and that we are all in a state of becoming.It may seem obvious for us to behave with respect and ask permission of an overarching spirit before we enter a sacred place, or set foot upon some place with a history that makes us deeply aware of its past. But we can extend that same respect to any area of land. Whether we are merely considering stepping on it for recreation, or we have plans for landscaping, building, or moving it into an existing structure, we can show our respect for all the spirits that have come before us by connecting to the underlying energy. Once we have done that, we can take a moment to ask permission before we move in, remodel, or build in that space.Beneath the surface of even the smallest plot of land lie years and years of history. Each speck of dust, grain of sand, and clod of earth has history that dates from the beginning of time before it became one of the elements that make up our planet. By thinking before we attempt to claim ownership over the land, we really acknowledge that we can never really own it. Instead we can work with it to create something new in that space. When we connect to all the energies that make up the land around us, we honor them and connect to all who have come before us, and we can be guided by their voices and their ancient wisdom.

This was our lovely day out to the stone circle, A fabulous place, that has a strange affect on dowsing rods, and the stones felt quite warm to touch,
The circle has evidence of having been used for burial. Cremated human remains were found excavated in 1921. 95ft/29m at its widest point: Birkrigg/Druid’s Circle comprises two concentric circles made up of 31 stones of up to 3ft/1m tall.

Bringing Inspiration Into Form
Putting Our Tools To Use Every craftsperson has a toolbox full of tools and a number of techniques to help them bring inspiration into form. In the same way, throughout our lives, we have discovered our own life tools and techniques—the ways and means that have helped us create our lives up to this point. Sometimes we forget about the tools and skills we’ve acquired, and we wonder why we aren’t moving forward. At times like these, it might just be a matter of remembering what we already know, and rediscovering the tools we already have at our disposal.In the process of becoming who we are and creating our lives, we have all gone through the experience of being inspired to do something and then finding the tools we needed to do it. If we look back, we may be able to remember that we used, for example, the tool of writing every day in order to clarify our intentions. We may also have used the tools of ritual, meditation, or visualization to make something happen. In addition, we may have been fueled by a new idea about how the universe works, which is what gave us the inspiration to use these tools.
In order for ideas to be powerful, they must be imbued with the energy of our engagement with them, and in order for tools to be effective they must be put to use. This sounds obvious, but often we fall into the habit of thinking we are engaging with ideas and using tools by virtue of the fact that we are reading about them, or listening to other people talk about them. In truth, using our tools is a very personal action, one we must take on behalf of ourselves. Like artists, we are each unique and no two of us will receive the same inspiration, nor will we bring it into form in the same two ways. To discover the truth of our own vision, we must take action by remembering our tools and putting them to use.

Colour in Tarot
The colours of each tarot deck have their own symbolic meanings. These colours carry meaning for us in our daily life as well as for their metaphysical or esoteric value. Within each card, take note of the colours throughout the card, be it the background, possibly the sky, landscape or the clothing, buildings, amulets or tools used within the card. The following list of colours and their “basic” meanings add to the interpretation of the card. Meditation on certain colours within the card often help “clear the blocks” sometimes experienced during a reading.
White – purity, healing, white shadow (animus), union through the mind, new intellectual frontier, purity, protection
Black – the unknown, black shadow (anima), dark side of the soul, letting go, yet offering the “black hole” of endless possibilities
Brown – earth, practical issues, the home and family, grounding, application, implementation and production
Pink – emotional love, harmony, self-love, friendship
Red – heart, soul, willpower, vitality, love, passion, courage
Orange – energy, vitality, joy, life force, strength
Yellow – sun, consciousness, zest for life, clairvoyance, communication
Green – healing love, prosperity, fresh, newness, promising, inexperienced, and immature
Blue – open sky, space and clear water, spirituality, tranquillity, meditation
Purple – the soul, spirituality, intuition, healing, guidance
Revitalising your senses, A walking meditation January 10, 2008
Posted by alijay in Divination, Tarot, life, meditations, mediumship, psychic, wicca.Tags: magic, religion, spiritual, tarot life
add a comment
Want to revitalise your senses?
In our society there are endless distractions which tends to overload our senses – we quickly become desensitised. This makes us less aware of the truth of the moment, what the energy is really revealing to us so we don’t witness the magical wonders and synchronicity of l
ife. So how do we turn down the noise and reconnect so that we may feel the truth and beauty once more? This six senses walk will help…
Pick a walk that you like to do of about 2 miles or so in duration. Ideally it should be in nature but it could also be done in a city park or along the banks of a river.
Sight
The eyes tend to focus on the most prominent object in front of them. It is possible however to see all in the periphery too. If we can switch to delocalised viewing by seeing everything in the periphery, there is less tendency for our consciousness to be locked into the point of focus. So walk for a few hundred yards seeing as much as possible in your complete field of view without focussing on any one thing. You may find you’re suddenly drawn to something – like a bird for example – but then quickly move back to the place of expanded vision. Observe colours, shapes, contrast, shadows etc.
Sound
For the next few hundred yards, focus on the sense of hearing. Listen out for birds or the rustle of trees, the flow of water for example. Practice connecting with subtle sounds too like the breeze across your face or the beating of your own heart. It helps to have the mouth slightly open because the sounds reverberate around it.
Taste
Take a piece of your favourite fruit with you. Stop in a quiet place. Before you take a bite, contemplate the fruit deeply, feel yourself connecting with it. Observe the colour, fragrance and texture. Move your consciousness into your mouth as you bite into it. Focus on the tongue moving it through the food as you chew. Be fully in the taste of the fruit and chew fully before swallowing.
Smell
The sense of taste and smell tend to go hand in hand so move to this next. Focus for the next few hundred yards on breathing deeply through the nose and picking up all of the scent that you can.
Touch
Pause for a moment and connect with how your body is feeling. Your muscles for example or the rise and fall of your lungs. Then expose one of your arms and gently run your finger tips up and down it as lightly as possible. Do the same to the other arm. Now focus on your walking – be fully connected to the experience as the weight moves gently from one leg to the other. Be fully in control as you lift and place down the feet. Be fully conscious of every feeling within the movement. Do this slowly for about 50 yards.
5 senses together
Next bring everything you have practised together taking in as many of the sights, sounds, flavours, smells and feelings you can. Be fully observant like this for the next few hundred yards. You may find you tend to focus on something in particular but if so, keep moving back out to expanded, non localised observation.
Sixth sense: Intuition
By now, hopefully you should find the mind has become much more still. In this place, it is easier for our higher selves and guiding consciousness to ’speak to us’. This may be through the movement of an animal, insect or bird. It could be through cloud patterns or even the number plates on passing cars. The purpose of such guidance is to help us release tension and efforting inside so that we may feel more joy and unconditional love for all life.
So as your attention is ‘pulled’ to the circumstances surrounding you, have ‘one eye turned inwards’ and notice how it is making you feel. Attune to these feelings and over time they will help you unfold your authentic inner beingness.
This process can be used to answer a specific question in life that is important to you at the moment. This can be initiated by posing the question internally “what is the energy of the moment revealing to me now?” Then if you feel yourself being drawn to something in particular, just make a mental note of exactly what you notice without necessary trying to understand the purpose – be patient though, it requires much perseverance to fully understand what is being shown to us. It is very similar to learning a new language.
In my experience any guidance received always invites us to confront and release inner attachments that we may unfold and expand our inner authentic beingness.
