I love this image from the Sirian Starseed Tarot. It's such a lovely evocation of what it's like to be in meditation. There are moments, fleeting, between listening to sounds, between wondering if you're doing it right, between resisting the urge to peek at the clock, between hoping your feet don't go to sleep so deeply that you fall down when you try to stand up--there are moments when you really do disappear into yourself, and join the wash of the waves of the universe and feel a kind of alignment through the spine with the heavens above and the earth below.
This is so much more powerful to me than a medieval tomb in a relic of a cathedral.
The card tells me today is a day for quiet introspection, hibernation, meditation. It is not a day for solving problems. It is a day for retreat, for gathering oneself in, for recharging in preparation for dealing with the problems. The problems will wait. They always do.
This is indeed a beautiful depiction of thought waves washing to the shore of consciousness and retreating again. There is such a great difference between this meditative state of mind and the usual boredom of the Four of Cups
ReplyDeleteThe card is lovely, as is your description of meditation. Hope you had that kind of day! :)
