Getting to Know the High Priestess –<\/p>\n

The High Priestess wants you to learn more about your unconscious.\u00a0 She feels your potential will benefit from the attention you give to your dreams, imagination, and intuition.\u00a0 Your potential needs attention. Explore your mysteries.<\/p>\n

Because you already have the answers you seek, you can trust your instincts, even if you can’t explain why or how.\u00a0 You have your own secrets.\u00a0 It’s a good time to discover them.\u00a0 After all, you already know the answers.<\/p>\n

The High Priestess appears in a spread to tell you that something hidden or otherwise unknown is about to surface.\u00a0 This is all about recognizing or revealing the hidden potential in your life.\u00a0 Opportunities wait to surface.\u00a0 Something hidden emerges.\u00a0 She mediates the human and the divine.<\/p>\n

The High Priestess understands truths that cannot be put into words or doctrines.\u00a0 This is hard to describe.\u00a0 She is all about understanding.<\/p>\n

If you happen to have a secret, please keep your own counsel.<\/p>\n

A STORY:<\/p>\n

The woman seated at my table on that beautiful Woodstock afternoon at the Mower’s Saturday Sunday Flea Market was lovely.\u00a0 But, she wasn’t the centerpiece of the spread on the table at that moment.<\/p>\n

She thought of her question while she shuffled the cards and handed me a card from deep in the deck.<\/p>\n

I knew for sure:\u00a0 this spread was unique.<\/p>\n

They all are.\u00a0 I’m always amazed at how, in some way, each spread tells a story appropriate for this person, this situation.<\/p>\n

This spread was no exception.\u00a0 It was time to explore mysteries.<\/p>\n

Three cards stood out:\u00a0 The High Priestess, the Tower, and the Eight of Swords.<\/p>\n

In this spread, the High Priestess spoke.\u00a0 She focused on hidden and emerging opportunities.\u00a0 She saw potential waiting to surface.<\/p>\n

I was especially impressed by this because the High Priestess has a reputation for keeping things hidden.\u00a0 In this moment, I felt she was offering a way for my client to discover a mystery of her own.<\/p>\n

What a gift!\u00a0 The High Priestess knows that not all truths can be put into words or even doctrines.<\/p>\n

Another card reaching out to be read was The Tower.<\/p>\n

The Tower brings surprise, shock, and awe.\u00a0 But, years of experience have taught me that The Tower is, deep down, not a total surprise.\u00a0 It needs you to explore mysteries.<\/p>\n

The wisdom of the Tower is that this card offers a chance to rebuild, update, and move into the future.<\/p>\n

Another bit of wisdom of The Tower is that it’s wise to slow down after the event for a few days, even a week or two.\u00a0 Let the dust settle before making any substantive decisions.\u00a0 That way, the decisions can be part of the rebuilding process.<\/p>\n

But, what about the decisions that need to be made?\u00a0 We come now to the wisdom of the Eight of Swords:<\/p>\n

First – don’t feel sorry for yourself.<\/p>\n

Second – After you’ve given yourself time to see the problem for what it is, list your options.<\/p>\n

This is a challenging thing to do but is easier if you give your eyes a chance to see the problem realistically.\u00a0 Your list can be short, written on the back of an envelope. Or, it can be a page or more in your journal.<\/p>\n

Finally – Trust in your intuition.\u00a0 Is there anything in this list that you can use?<\/p>\n

Yes – Great – Go for it! Explore mysteries.<\/p>\n

No – Is there nothing in this list that you can use?\u00a0 No – Don’t get discouraged.\u00a0 You have a final option that you may not have yet considered:\u00a0 The wisdom of the Eight of Swords has a strong message:\u00a0 Walk Away!<\/p>\n

FOCUS IN<\/p>\n

Journal\u00a0 your goals and intentions.\u00a0 \u00a0What are ways you can align your intentions with your goals?<\/p>\n

MEDITATION<\/p>\n

Begin this meditation by getting comfortable in a quiet and private place where you won’t be disturbed. Turn off your phone.\u00a0 Loosen uncomfortable clothing.<\/p>\n

Focus on your breathing.\u00a0 Allow yourself to breathe to your own natural rhythm.\u00a0 Breathe slowly, easily and deeply to produce a state of deep, gentle relaxation. Inhale…Exhale…Inhale…Exhale…<\/p>\n

When you are ready, breathe in deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth.\u00a0 Notice how your sense of relaxation, comfort, and peace of mind become noticeable to you.<\/p>\n

A ball of light surrounds you now.\u00a0 This ball of pure energy circulates around you and moves you into even deeper relaxation and comfort.<\/p>\n

Each inhale and exhale encourage you to become more relaxed.<\/p>\n

Enjoy how relaxed and comfortable you are now.\u00a0 Your inhales bring soothing, relaxing, nourishing, and healing energy into your body.<\/p>\n

Your exhales release tension, stress, pain and\/or discomfort.<\/p>\n

Each breath increases your relaxation and comfort.<\/p>\n

Think, now, of\u00a0 a beautiful, peaceful, safe place.\u00a0 It is magical and mystical and just for you.<\/p>\n

Take a few moments to enjoy this place.\u00a0 Notice the trees, shrubbery, flowers, grasses.\u00a0 See the birds.\u00a0 Smell the beauty of this special place.<\/p>\n

You see a table and chairs for two in front of you.\u00a0 Two drinks of soothing liquids are on the table.\u00a0 What do the glasses, cups, saucers, and napkins look like?<\/p>\n

A wise being comes into your special area and sits at the table.\u00a0 You join this wise being at the table.<\/p>\n

You know that this is a situation you can trust.\u00a0 You understand that you are here, in this special place, to explore solutions to important questions that you are dealing with.\u00a0 You are seeking solutions for problems that have been bothering you for some time.<\/p>\n

When you ask questions your responses come to you as inspirations.\u00a0 You ask questions that may not generate responses at this moment.<\/p>\n

You know that some answers may not come instantly.\u00a0 You know that you may need several hours or days before inspirational responses come to you.<\/p>\n

Wordlessly communicating with this wise being, you know in your heart that you can return to this place whenever you need because some answers will become available to you over time.<\/p>\n

You know that\u00a0 this meditation will become easier over time.<\/p>\n

You know that it is time to return to your day.\u00a0 You open your eyes, and take a few final relaxing breaths – breathing in and then breathing out.<\/p>\n

You look forward to meeting with this wise being in future meditations.<\/p>\n

You open your eyes and take a few relaxing breaths – inhaling and exhaling to your own rhythm.<\/p>\n

You look forward to meeting with this wise being in future meditations.<\/p>\n

Now, you return to your day.<\/p>\n
