Symbol 6:

Affirmations are powerful tools. I have personally used them for over 30 years to reprogram my self beliefs and bring forth new ones into my reality. I would write them on the wall, stick them on the fridge, incorporate them into art works, sing them in mantras. They don't even need to be written in words, they can be placed by your thoughts into a rock, plant, tree, shell, peice of wood or bead and worn or carried or even tattooed. Affirmations can be as creative as you can be. This card is very much about words. The words we speak to ourselves in our thoughts. The language we create in our relationship with our body and our life.

Mostly my Affirmations are small ones however in this section I felt I would share the Affirmation I wrote during my experience of being diagnosed with an Auto-Immune disease.

I sat with this for over a year, each morning, with my crystal bowl. I then weaned slowly off it once my body was free of pain, yet whenever I feel just a flicker of the old disease shadow through me, I am straight back onto saying it again and usually it's just once. It’s a long one but I had at the worst point lost 80% of my daily physical ability to function in my life. There are two parts but for now I will just share the first part.

I AM AWAKE AND THIS DAY BEFORE ME IS BLESSED
I AM SAFE AND I AM PROTECTED ALWAYS AND IN ALL WAYS
I AM CALM AND I AM ALERT
I STEP INTO MY EARTH BODY TEMPLE
IN HARMONY JOY AND EASE

MY EYES ARE BRIGHT AND I CAN SEE CLEARLY
MY MIND IS CONSCIOUS AND I AM FOCUSED
MY SPINE IS STRONG AND I STAND TALL
MY MUSCLES, TENDONS AND LIGAMENTS ARE SUPPLE AND I AM FLEXIBLE
My BLOOD IS NOURISHING MY BONES AND I AM HEALTHY
MY CELLS ARE DANCING WITHIN ME LIKE STARS

I THANK MY CELLS, THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU
I LOVE MY CELLS I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU

I AM BLESSED AND I AM ENOUGH

 When I first received this Symbol, it was teaching me through an actual action to take everything I felt I knew as ‘fact’ (left brain-analytical, thinking side) and everything I felt I knew as ‘intuition’ (right brain-creative, feeling side) and hold them one in each hand in front of me. I then drew my hands towards my head and placed them at the top of my forehead. Slowly tracing downwards until my hands rested upon my Heart.
I was being taught to take everything I thought and everything I felt and pass them through my Mind and take them into my Heart. I was being taught that this was the Path a Human Being needed to Walk and it was the longest and hardest Journey we all as Humans will Walk.
The Journey from the Head to the Heart.

 If this card has danced into your life, a shift in your consciousness is required. Personalizing affirmations is a powerful tool for creating shifts in consciousness.

Do the exercise and sit with the Heart Space you Create. Allow your Heart to navigate your Healing Journey forward.

 Exersice:
Take everything you think you know as ‘fact’ (left brain-analytical, thinking side) and everything you feel as ‘intuition’ (right brain-creative, feeling side) and hold them one in each hand in front of you. Hold them there as if to feel them as a set of scales. Then draw your hands towards your head and placed them at the top of your forehead. Slowly trace downwards until your hands rest upon your Heart.
Allow your Heart to navigate your Healing Journey forward.

When this card comes into your presence it is gently reminding you to be aware of the thoughts floating around in your head.
