Tarot Meditation: The Empress

by in Lessons, Tarot and tagged | Leave a comment

EmpressYou have chosen The Empress, the third card of the major arcana of the Tarot. This guided visualization enables you to focus on your creativity, and to express that creativity with greater abundance and prosperity in the world.

The Fool’s earthly mother, The Empress, represents the matriarchal figure. She is serene and confident, sensuous and beautiful. She is powerful and creative, nurturing and compassionate. She is the feminine counterpart of The Emperor.

The Empress symbolizes the archetypes of abundance, creativity, compassion, sensual awareness, and pleasure. The Empress signifies being in harmony with the natural world as well as enjoying the pleasures of life, and feeling good about life.

Look closely at the imagery of The Empress before you begin the guided meditation.

This guided visualization begins again with creating your own Peaceful Sanctuary. This is a place you can always come to, to find peace and calm in your life. You are welcomed into the embrace of The Empress as you relax and enter the world of the feminine archetype.

The Empress is a soft breeze issuing from the calm of the High Priestess. She is the light of the sun vitalizing growing things. She is the dance of inspiration; her touch is the life of the world. When pain burns and fear threatens, the Mother Empress balms and protects.

Look at the picture on the Empress card. Let your eyes see the bright sky of the morning. Listen to the sound of falling water. Feel the softness of the wind that stirs tall trees in rustling imitation of a waterfall. Feel the solid coolness of stone beneath you. Enjoy the warm garden of the Empress.

Close your eyes but hold the images and feelings of the Empress card close about you. Your are in a great forest of ancient trees. It’s the kind of place people sometimes fear to enter, yet you are at home. The air is refreshing. There are sounds of leaves brushing leaves, of water flowing, of branches moving at the caress of the cool and fragrant air. A great Tree is close to you. From the Tree a presence seems to grow. There is a vast invisible being dwelling in the tree. A breeze moves past the Tree to stir your hair. Mother blesses you.

 

In your preferred meditation posture, gently close your eyes and become aware of your body on the seat or the cushion. We will begin by bringing some life force energy into your body through your eyes. To do this, put the palms of your hands together and rub them briskly. Keep on doing this now until you feel the warmth circulating in your hands. When you feel warmth or tingling in your hands, gently place your palms over your eyes and keeping your eyes shut, feel that warmth and life force energy flowing from your hands into your eyes.

And, with your eyes still gently closed, place your hands in your lap in line with your abdomen at the level of your navel. Hold your hands together, with the back of the right hand resting in the palm of the left hand, and your thumbs gently touching. Have the hint of a smile on your face. Just being aware of the breath … being aware of the breath: the inflowing breath and the outflowing breath … breathing freely and easily, being aware of the breath as it flows through your nostrils. Just being aware of the breath, as it comes and as it goes, entering and leaving your body.

And still with your eyes gently closed, visualize yourself now walking down a path leading to your peaceful sanctuary. Imagine yourself looking down at the path as you imagine yourself walking along it … what sort of path is it? Is it a rough path, or a smooth path? What is the path made out of? As you continue to walk, look into the distance and see before you your peaceful sanctuary. Imagine what this peaceful sanctuary is like for you … it could be a warm cozy room … it could be some special place in nature that you love, like the beach, the forest, a lake or some other place. Hold that image of what you’d really like to be in in your mind. This is the place that you can always come to, this peaceful sanctuary … it’s a place where you can relax … where you can experience peace and calm, a place where you are always safe and protected.

As you enter your own special haven, look about you and acquaint yourself with your surroundings. What do you see here? Touch the things that you feel attracted to and that you love about this place. What scents and aromas can you smell that are uplifting to your senses in this special place. Listen to the sounds that are unique to your wonderous peaceful sanctuary. What are they?

See before you a special place a seat that you can sink into and feel cozy and relaxed. This can be any kind of seat in which you can sit with comfort and safety. Go now to your special seat and make yourself comfortable there.

Counting backwards now into an even deeper state of relaxation … knowing that you are in control at all times … hearing these words and letting them drift by …

 

TEN … going deeper … NINE, EIGHT … deeper and deeper … SEVEN, SIX … relaxing and deepening … FIVE, FOUR … very very deep … THREE, TWO … relaxing, deepening … relaxing, deepening … and ONE … feeling so relaxed, so very very relaxed in your peaceful sanctuary.

 

Now, let your thoughts float back in time, or to a time in your life when you were imbued with creative self-expression. It may be the recent past, or it may have been a time in your childhood. It could be something that you were making or doing that gave you a feeling of well-being and joy. Take yourself now back to that time when your being was filled with that excitement as you immersed yourself in that creativity. Keep on recording what you were doing creatively.

Let the memories and the feelings be there in your body again. Remember your aliveness, your exuberance and your delight in your creative pursuit.

Use all your senses to create that time … your sight, your hearing … how you touched, smelled or tasted what you were creating. There may be good feelings in your body and, if so, hold those good feelings in your body now. If there are not, the memories themselves will be exciting your aliveness from a very deep cellular memory.

Keep on allowing the wonder and awe of your creativity to be with you again.

Take in a long, slow deep breath, breathing the breath all the way down through your body, breathing in the excitement of creativity. And, as you breathe out, hold and embrace those good feelings in your body, and continue to breathe naturally.

 

Recall now the vision of the Empress, for she has entered your life as a symbol of creation. Visualize her in the tarot card sitting resplendent on a throne, her gown of pomegranates flowing down to the ground. In her hand, she holds a scepter symbolizing her power. Upon her head is a starry crown representing the twelve months of the year over which she presides.

The Empress is the symbol of the Great Mother who is pecunious and abundant.  She is the Creator and Nurturer of life, whether it is in pregnancy or as she is depicted in the tarot card, surrounded by earthly gifts of crops, and trees, and water. Not only does The Empress symbolize procreative power, she is also a potent psychic bond to your own creative process.

Visualize now something that you would like to be engaged in creating. It could well be a child, the creation of life … or it may be a yearning to create something that you have wanted to do for a long, long time. Perhaps you have a desire to build something … perhaps you have the desire to make something … it could be to paint, to dance, to make music, to have a relationship, or something else. You may well be very clear about what you want to do, but then again, it may not be so easy for you because your creativity may have been stifled years ago. It may not have been given the fertile ground in which to grow and flourish and blossom … and deep within you lies boundless creativity waiting to awaken.

Whatever it is that you feel drawn to do, that your soul cries out to be fulfilled in some way … allow that image to come alive within you now.

 

Now, take in a long slow deep breath drawing in creative inspiration … and as you slowly breathe out, retain that inspiration within your whole being … and continue to breathe naturally.

 

When The Empress appears, she may be triggering in you a response to begin to realize your dreams, to no longer allow them to lie dormant. With her energy and her presence in your life, you can channel your creativity, explore its diversity and breadth.

Allow yourself now to make a commitment to your creative self-expression so that you can bring that into fruition.

Bathe in your creative dream and set into motion your intention to bring your ideas to living reality and manifestation now. Give yourself a little time to let your creation to unfold within you now.

 

Taking in a deep breath, breathing in the awe and wonder of your creativity … and as you breathe out, relax into a space of fulfillment and accomplishment … and continue to breathe naturally. Breathing naturally, see your creation unfolding before you, as if it has already happened.

As you awaken to your creativity more and more, create beauty, delight and joy in your surroundings and environment. Love, honor and respect the Great Mother by loving, honoring and respecting the Earth. Take time to be in nature, absorbing the peacefulness and tranquility that nature offers you.

Taking in another long, slow deep breath, breathing in the fullness of creation and you a part of it … and as you breathe out, deepen more and more into your own creative fullness … and continue to breathe naturally.

The presence of The Empress in your life may bring greater prosperity. This welcomed tarot card indicates creation, or birth of a creative project; domestic bliss; romance, and success in business.

Holding the image of The Empress in your mind, breathe in the archetypal qualities of this powerful woman … and as you breathe out, hold those qualities of prosperity, abundance and creativity as you go about your daily life … and continue to breathe naturally.

 

It is now time to leave your peaceful sanctuary. Visualize yourself now standing and exiting your safe place, and being back on the path once more. And walking back along the path, knowing you can come back here any time that you wish …

And counting from one to five …

 

ONE … becoming aware of yourself sitting on the chair or on the cushion on the floor … TWO … gently wiggling your fingers … THREE … slowly moving your head from side to side … FOUR … becoming aware of your feet and wiggling your toes … and FIVE … very slowly, very slowly, opening your eyes.

 

Take a deep and clearing breath and stretch your whole body, if that feels good for you.

Tarot Meditation: The High Priestess

High Priestess Meditation

 

You have chosen The High Priestess, the second major arcana card of the Tarot. This guided visualization will help to deepen your trust in your own intuitiveness and insightfulness.

In his journey The Fool meets The High Priestess whom he looks upon as his spiritual mother. She is receptive to anyone who seeks her counsel and guidance, for knowledge is revealed to those who seek it out.

The High Priestess is symbolized as the archetype of intuition, the unconscious, the healer, and feminine power. She represents all that is unknown, and yet can be accessed through stillness, and silence.

The High Priestess guided visualization begins with the creation of your own Peaceful Sanctuary. This is a place you can always come to, to find peace and calm in your life. In your Peaceful Sanctuary you will meet with The High Priestess.

 

The Fool is a soft breeze blowing everywhere in space. The Magician is a mighty whirlwind reaching from earth to sky. The High Priestess is the quiet within the wind, the peaceful eye within the storm. She dwells in a place where the air stirs not and even thoughts are quiet. This vestal is a child becoming almost a woman. Her days of protection and trust are with her yet. With her also is the first bloom of the mysteries of the Moon, the mysteries of later spring turning to summer in her body.

 

Look at the picture on the High Priestess card. See the priestess. Let your eyes meet hers. Her eyes flicker and then still. They look deeply into yours. In your heart a question grows. It slowly rises to clarity. The Priestess waits to answer it.

 

Close your eyes to the outside world. Let the blue and white of the little goddess shimmer before your mind. From your heart a need has reached out. From the temple of the Priestess a soft answer comes. The answer is not in words, for the need surpasses words. Let the soft blue and white of the goddess dissolve in silver moonlight. In the radiance find meaning.

 

In your preferred meditation posture, allow your eyes to close gently. Place your hands in your lap in line with your abdomen at the level of your navel. Hold your hands together, with the back of the right hand resting against the palm of the left hand, with your thumb tips gently touching. Have the hint of a smile on your face. Just by sitting in a meditation posture, you have already set an intention. There is dignity and grace in your posture, and you may be aware of your back straightening. You may be aware of your shoulders sloping gently downwards, releasing and letting go any tension in your neck. Your feet, flat on the floor if you are sitting on the floor, or your knees touching the floor, if you’re sitting on a cushion.

Now, take a slow deep breath, bringing the breath all the way down into your belly. And as you slowly breathe out, breathe out until your lungs are empty of air. And, when you have done this, continue to breathe naturally … being aware of the breath: the inflowing breath and the outflowing breath. Breathing freely and easily, being aware of the breath as it flows through your nostrils.

 

Allow your awareness to flow through your body and if there are any holdings or tension in any part of your body, take your breath to that place now. Breathe in and out of that place in your body where there may be tension or holding. Focusing in that place, breathing in and out of that place, allowing the tension, the holding or the blockage to be released in your body. Just being aware of the breath, allowing your body to soften with each breath … the inward breath and the outward breath … allowing the body to be soft … soft body, gentle breath.

 

Moving with the breath now into the mysteriousness that brings you in touch with the High Priestess.

 

And remaining with your eyes gently closed, visualize yourself now following a path. Look down at the path as you imagine yourself walking along it … what sort of path is it? This is the path that is leading you to your peaceful sanctuary. Enter now into your peaceful sanctuary … it could be a warm cozy room … it could be some special place in nature that you love, like the beach, the forest, a lake or some other place.   This is the place that you can always come to where you can relax where you can experience peace and calm, a place where you are always safe and protected. A place that you love to be in.

 

Being in your own special haven, look about you and acquaint yourself with your surroundings. What do you see here? Touch the things that you feel drawn to here and that you love. Smell the scents and aromas that are uplifting to your senses in this special place. And, listen to the sounds that are unique to your wonderous peaceful sanctuary.

 

See before you a special seat that you can sink into and feel cozy and relaxed. This can be any kind of seat in which you can sit in comfort and safety. Go now to your special seat and make yourself comfortable there.

 

Counting backwards now into an even deeper state of relaxation … knowing that you are in control at all times … hearing these words and letting them drift by …

 

TEN … going deeper … NINE, EIGHT … deeper and deeper … SEVEN, SIX … relaxing and deepening … FIVE, FOUR … very very deep … THREE, TWO … relaxing, deepening … relaxing, deepening … and ONE … feeling so relaxed, so very very relaxed in your peaceful sanctuary.

 

Now as you wish, invite the High Priestess to enter your sacred space. Visualize in your mind … turning your head to the right and seeing this feminine vision enter your abode. She may appear in the form of a figure familiar to you, or a light being, or someone else that is right for you. As she comes closer and closer to you … see her deep beauty … her gentle smile … her lovingness towards you … and greet this archetype of feminine power that is wise, intuitive, mysterious and understanding.

 

Feel her sensitivity to you and how much she loves you.

 

The High Priestess represents secret knowledge, hidden feelings, intuition and mysterious influences.

 

Watch as she seats herself before you, her garments flowing about her. She may be dressed in the flowing blue robes as depicted in the tarot … adorning her head is an Egyptian style headdress symbolizing the waxing moon and the waning moon … on her lap is a scroll or book of ancient wisdom … and at her feet, the lunar crescent.

 

The High Priestess conveys to you that she is associated with the Moon, which symbolizes the hidden and mysterious lunar cycles and psychic revelations.

 

Perhaps the High Priestess seated before you may have appeared in a different form. See what that is now for you.

 

The High Priestess waits with eternal patience before you, so just allow yourself to merge with the depth of her awareness, with the depth of her presence. See how she gazes at you with encouragement … how she accepts you unconditionally.

 

When someone accepts you unconditionally, can you feel that growing confidence within you? For in her presence, you are able to tap into your own source of compassionate power, intuition and wisdom. The High Priestess is conveying to you that you, too, are a compassionate, powerful, intuitive and wise being.

 

So, taking in a deep breath … breathe in the Knowing and Understanding that you are indeed compassionate, powerful, intuitive and wise. And, as you breathe out, soften and deepen … and embrace these qualities more and more … and continue to breathe naturally.

 

Looking into the face of the High Priestess, see there the ancient understanding of knowing life’s dualities … of knowing good and evil, light and dark, summer and winter … knowing all of these things … understanding all of them … accepting all of them as they are. Feeling again and again that depth of understanding that is conveyed to you by the High Priestess for she is aware of the ups and downs of life … she is aware of all the viscissitudes of life … remaining calm and peaceful as they come and go.

 

If there is something or someone in your life that you need more clarity around … perhaps a problem you may be facing, or a decision that you are in the process of making … ask the High Priestess now for her help. Speak to her as though she is a very close friend … listening to her inner guidance. It may appear to you as a symbol, a word or a thought.

 

Perhaps some aspect of your life may be out of balance … it could be your health, a relationship, your finances, or something else. Ask the High Priestess now what you need to do to bring greater balance and harmony back into your life … listen for the answers within your heart, letting go of logic, and trusting the intuitive response to your questions.

 

Sitting in the presence of the High Priestess, you can trust her counsel to seek new paths and hidden paths to Wisdom … your intuitive insights will suggest new solutions to the issues you may have in your life at this time, so trust your intuition.

 

There may be something else that you may need counsel about … and, if so, take this time now to communicate more deeply with her. The answers may come to you in the forms of a symbol, a word, or something else … and if not at this time, that is okay. Revelations may come to you as you go about your daily life.

 

The High Priestess symbolizes inner unity. Perhaps at some point in your life you may have felt separate from others … you may not have always been able to express your feelings because you may have been afraid of rejection … You may not have always been able to say what was right for you because you were afraid that speaking your truth might upset another … you may have cut off parts of yourself so that you could fit in and be acceptable … you may have secrets in your heart that reveal to you what you really want and where you are going.

 

Now, draw in a long, slow, deep breath … breathing in the essence of the High Priestess: calmness, sensitivity, stability, silence, deep understanding. And, as you slowly breathe out, let go of all the struggles in you that displace love … and continue to breathe naturally.

 

It is not by accident that you have chosen the High Priestess at this time, for she is inviting you to go inward in your meditations … to uncover your truth through inner sensations, images and flashes of insightful knowing.

 

Immerse yourself in the mysteriousness of the High Priestess, sometimes called the Daughter of the Stars … and sense or feel or see her being reflected back at you as she sits before you, and make an intention to yourself to release old patterns of conditioning that no longer serve you … simply by starting with, “I intend to release old patterns of conditioning that no longer serve me,” is a way of bringing that intention very clearly and fervently into your life.

 

By doing this each day, you can live with an open and loving heart.

 

Now, take in another long, slow deep breath, breathing the breath all the way into your belly, all the way into your body … breathing in soft healing blue light and filling your whole body with soft healing blue light … and as you breathe out, letting go of the patterns that no longer serve you … and continue to breathe freely and easily.

 

The High Priestess rises gracefully before you and bids you farewell. You may wish to express your thanks and gratitude to her. As she leaves, hear her assuring you that she is always there if you have a yearning to be in her presence.

 

It is now time for you to leave your peaceful sanctuary … and so you stand and visualize yourself now exiting from your safe place and being back on the path once more. You know that you can come here any time you wish.

 

And counting from one to five …

ONE … becoming aware of yourself sitting on the chair or aware of yourself sitting on the cushion on the floor …

 

TWO … gently wiggling your fingers …

 

THREE … slowly moving your head from side to side …

 

FOUR … being aware of your feet and toes, and wiggling your toes and moving your feet.

 

And FIVE, very very slowly opening your eyes.

 

Now, take a deep and clearing breath, and stretch your whole body if that feels good for you.

Tarot Meditation: The Magician

GD TAROT_Magician

 

You have chosen The Magician, the first card in the major arcana of the Tarot. This visualization guides you in deepening your connection to your creativity, and your ability to manifest in this world.

The first person that The Fool encounters on his journey is the Magician. The Magician is the archetype of manifesting in the material world. The Magician has the power to initiate The Fool. Through undergoing this initiation The Fool awakens to his creativity. His creativity flourishes, and with skill and determination he is led to new opportunities that help him to flourish and prosper.

Absorb the image of The Magician before you begin this visualization.

 

Before becoming the Magician, the Fool is a breeze blowing in light gusts everywhere in space. When the Fool becomes the Magician, the breeze becomes a whirlwind of concentrated force. When glazed, absent-minded eyes become suddenly bright and hawk-like, the Magician wakens.

 

Look at the picture on the Magician card. Imagine yourself as the magician. Your right hand rises to receive a ray of warm and brilliant light. The light travels through you, influenced by your mind. Power issues from your left hand and the world is molded in the image of your thoughts.

 

Imagine yourself alone in a vast place. You cannot see the walls or the ceiling. Air stirs about you in soft, random touches. Inside your body, near the navel, a great force dwells. Your mind is clear, with a golden light about your head. The light reaches down and sends out a wave of force, like a great curved and shapeless arm from the center near your navel. The arm of force catches the air about you. Winds begin to blow about you in circular motion. Feel the whirling vortex of power strong about you. Below you a light dimly shines. It brightens. Beneath you in the light is a great hall lined with many doors. The doors open and close at your bidding. One door attracts your attention more than the others. Let the door open. See what is beyond it.

 

Seated in your preferred meditation posture, allow your eyes to close gently. And place your hands in your lap in line with your lower abdomen. Hold your hands together, with the back of your right hand resting in the plam of your left hand, with your thumbs gently touching. Have just the hint of a smile on your face.

 

Now, draw in a long deep breath through your nose, breathing a breath all the way into your belly. And, as you breath out of your mouth, allow yourself to really sigh … AAAHHH. Continue to breathe in your own way.

 

Breathing to your own rhythm, remaining with your eyes gently closed … visualize yourself walking along a path. Look down and see the path as you imagine yourself walking along it. What sort of path is it? Feel the texture of what is under your feet on this path … it could be a smooth or rough path, or the sort of path you have always loved that is leading you to your special place of beauty, harmony and peace.

Walking along this path, see before you now your peaceful sanctuary. It could be in a warm cozy room … it could be some special place in nature that you love, like the beach, the forest, a lake or some other place. This is a place that you can always come to, where you can relax and experience peace and calm. A place where you are always safe and protected.

 

Enter now into your own special haven and look about you to acquaint yourself with your surroundings. Touch the things that await you here and that you love. Smell the special scents and aromas wafting through the air. Listen to the sounds that are unique to your wondrous place.

 

See before you now a special seat that you can sink into and feel cozy and relaxed. This can be any kind of seat in which you can sit in comfort and safety. Go now to your special seat and make yourself comfortable there.

 

Counting backwards to an even deeper state of relaxation, knowing that you are in control at all times … hearing these words and letting them drift by …

TEN … going deeper … NINE, EIGHT … deeper and deeper … SEVEN, SIX … relaxing and deepening … FIVE, FOUR … very very deep … THREE, TWO … relaxing, deepening … relaxing, deepening … and ONE … feeling so relaxed, so very very relaxed in your peaceful sanctuary.

 

Continue to breathe naturally, just being aware of the breath … the inward breath and the outward breath … allow yourself to hear these words and allow them to fade away.

 

Inside your peaceful sanctuary, visualize yourself now as The Magician. See yourself surrounded by beautiful flowers … red roses and white lilies. Imagine yourself bending forward and inhaling the delicious fragrant perfume of the roses. Smell the fragrance as it moves through the air and fills the air with wondrous delight.

Look down at your clothes, at the clothes of The Magician … you could be wearing a white robe, a red cloak and a blue belt around your waist symbolizing a snake that represents your creative powers. You could be dressed in some other way that is right for you as The Magician. Hold an image of how you would be dressed.

 

Imagine now running your hands over the textures of the fabrics you are wearing. What do these textures feel under your hands and fingers?

 

Now, imagine a table and on it, a Golden cup … a wand … a Pantacle that has the five-pointed star embossed on a round disc … and a sword that symbolizes power, strength and courage. Within these four objects, there is a totality of the Four Elements: Water, Fire, Earth and Air.

 

Now, visualize yourself moving to the table, picking up the Golden cup and drinking the pure liquid from the cup. Visualize the sweet taste of this golden nectar filling your whole being with magical powers that unfold your creativity and abilities to manifest in the world.

 

Now, placing the cup back on the table, feel in your right hand feel a wand raised toward Heaven, while your left hand is pointing to the Earth. As the archetype of the Magician, feel the strength and power that flows through your whole being as you connect with Heaven and Earth. Visualize yourself as the master of your life and destiny.

 

Now, take in a long slow deep breath through your nose as you absorb the Magician’s qualities. And, as you slowly breathe out through your nose, deepen into the Silence and stillness within you that is the way of the Magician. Continue to breathe naturally, being aware once again of the inward breath and the outward breath merging you into deeper silence and stillness.

 

Imagine now above your head the sign of eternity, the figure 8, that symbolizes that you are of Spirit and also able to bring about things in the world. Being at one with the Magician, now is the time to incorporate the lesson of “as above, so below”, the lesson being that mastery in one aspect of life brings about mastery in another.

 

Feeling the qualities of the Magician enveloping you and within you, visualize now being surrounded by bright golden light representing solar consciousness that allows you to explore the world and to master it.

 

What in your life do you want to master, right now?

 

What do you need to bring forward to master your goal, aspiration or ambition?

 

Within your own inner silence and stillness, answers may come to you intuitively and spontaneously. If not immediately, that is okay for you will discover these answers as you go about your daily life by your intention to manifest for your highest good what you most desire.

 

The Magician is the archetypal achiever. As you reflect on what you want to achieve, use your ability to be flexible, to communicate your ideas, for you have the skills. But also, listen to your inner voice. When the Magician appears within you, it symbolizes your creativity, action, initiative and self-assertiveness. You can create new opportunities that give you courage, driving power, skill and determination to enable these to flourish and blossom.

 

With the powers of the Magician, how would you like your creativity and originality to expand?

 

Imbued in the archetype of the Magician there is great power.

 

Now, take in a deep breath, breathing power and strength into your body. And as you breathe out, breathe your empowerment through every cell in your body. And, when you’ve done this, continue to breathe naturally once again.

 

Power can always be used for good or bad. Misuse of power abounds on our planet. Whether you are male or female, you carry with you certain aspects of power.

 

What does power mean to you?

 

How does it appear in your life?

 

How wisely do you use your power?

 

With the power of the Magician within you, you are urged to bring all aspects of your life together. These include love, emotions, money and morality. If one or some of these are out of balance, just allow these aspects of your life to be acknowledged, and to intend that your deeper inner knowing can bring about the changes that will help you manifest your great potential.

 

Embracing the archetype of the Magician, you are open to opportunities or the importance of a new enterprise … and you will have the willpower, the initiative and the skills to succeed in whatever you do.

 

Now, take in a long slow deep breath … and as you do, embrace the qualities of the Magician in yourself. And breathing out … know that in drawing this tarot card, you have the ability to manifest your creativity and potential.

 

Continue to breathe naturally.

 

And now, visualize the clothing of the Magician fading away.

 

Leaving your sanctuary, step now back onto the path … knowing that you can return to this safe and peaceful place any time you wish.

 

And counting from one to five …

ONE … becoming aware of yourself sitting on the chair or on your cushion …

 

TWO … gently wiggling your fingers …

 

THREE … slowly moving your head from side to side …

 

FOUR … being aware of your feet on the floor, or your knees on the floor sitting on the cushion …

 

And FIVE, very very slowly, wiggling your toes and moving your feet.

 

Take a deep and clearing breath and slowly open your eyes, stretching your whole body if that feels good for you.
