Take a moment to breathe deeply and allow the symbols presented to trickle into the deeper parts of your mind, of the cells in your body. There is another plane of existence, other ways of knowing, ancestral memories... all accessed through symbolism and metaphor. When you take these cards in, what shifts in your body? Any emotions arise? Any connections made?
You should always use this explorative practice when engaging with messages and your own inner wisdom, but it feels particularly important to remind you now when the messages seem to carry the reminder of pause, of rest, of going inward.

The present is in a constant state of emergence. Life is always flowing, even in times of gestation. Because what will be always grows from what is. Right now.

Health and longevity are collectively ours to be had. They are our innate state as potential energy made manifest. (This does not mean we all fit into some ‘ideal’ or ‘model’ of what health is. This is not ableism). It means that where there is dis-ease, we must be willing to stop making ourselves victim, giving our power away, and get honest about how we contribute to the collective malady. What can we give up and surrender in order to return to the ever emerging flow state? To do this, we need to take periods of rest, meditation, hibernation. We must purify our minds through stillness and a awareness. We must return to the primal understandings we’ve forgotten that are coded into our very DNA, our very bones. Self-care can only go so far if dis-ease remains our collective pattern.

What world are we leaving for those who will come after? What seeds will grow from the gestation moment of the present? We have the power to weave the stories of the future. What will your legacy be?
