Let Love In...
In today's dancing warrior yoga practice, I explored the space of simply allowing for what is.
In my "Rituals For Transformation" diary, today I committed to the affirmation "I forgive my body". I discovered that I have held grudges against my body for all the times it didn't look or perform the way I wanted it to. I forgave my heart for all the times I've experienced emotional pain or hurt, heartbreak or grief. I forgave my low back and my left foot for giving me chronic pains from old injuries that are healing. I forgave the parts of my body that are aging. I forgave. And in that space I found hope and an willingness to make room for all the imperfections that a strict childhood and disapproving religion wouldn't allow. It was ok for me to f**k up and not have it all together. Now my heart has released a lot of things it doesn't need any longer to let it bright new joys and experiences.
Now for the tarot cards of the day. "The Crystal Oracle" by Tone Carmine Salerno.
1. Rose Quartz: Unconditional love, peace, joy, loving thoughts.
A stone I've worked with intensely for the past three years, has a message for me. And that is that love is all around me. The beautiful compassionate energy of rose quartz welcomes me with it's soft pink glow. Deep heart healing is available to me now. The following prayer is excerpted from the deck's accompanying booklet.
"We pray for love to heal and guide us
to illuminate our hearts and minds
so that we may all come to see and fell
the sacred flame of light we each hold within,
for then we shall truly know,
beyond all doubt, that only love is real -
only love is eternal."
2. Clear Quartz: Harmony, meditation, protection, infinite possibilities
This card is telling me that all I have to do is visualize the life that I would like to have and it will crystalize for me out of the ether of my imagination as my actions towards those dreams bring it to fruition. If I see it in my mind's eye, and I truly wish it to be so, I can manifest that life into reality. But that I shouldn't get so caught up in pursuing the goal that I forget to enjoy the process.
"Life is a journey, not a destination."
3. Selenite Green: Healing, tranquil pleasures, day dreams, imaginings
"Life is a river of dreams. Simply relax and enjoy the journey" Amazing right?! This is another card to back up clear quartz. It's reminding to me get clear with my dreams. Believe in everything that I am dreaming up now, because it will soon be a reality. Just like Walt Disney says, (yes I'm a Sagittarius) "A dream is wish your heart makes."
