Hello,
Radiant Games.
It's our honor to transmit this meditative offering to all who are listening from across the globe in your own timelines of the space-time continuum.
Today's meditative journey is inspired by Pisces and its corresponding tarot card of the Major Arcana,
The Moon.
Pisces is a mutable water sign,
Ruler of the Twelfth House of the Unconscious,
Considered the Unseen Realm in the Tropical Zodiac.
This final Zodiac house is the dark night before the rise of day,
Where dreams,
Sleep,
Fears,
Hidden desires,
And fantasies reside before dipping into the First House of Self.
Pisces is one of the most intuitive signs of the Zodiac,
Being the final Zodiac sign completing the Zodiacal Wheel and the last water sign before the inception of the first sign of the Zodiac,
The fire sign Aries.
Pisces is symbolized as the two fish swimming in opposite directions,
Connected with a ribbon.
According to Greek and Roman mythology,
The fish are the goddess Aphrodite,
Venus,
And her son Eros,
Cupid,
Who transformed themselves into fish to escape from the giant winged serpent monster Typhon.
The ribbon connected them so they wouldn't be separated during the escape.
The Pisces glyph shows two crescent shapes pointed outwards,
Symbolic of receptivity with a horizontal line attaching the two as the line of matter.
The Pisces constellation is one of the largest and most ancient constellations and is also one of the most difficult to see.
Pisces is ruled by the planets Jupiter and Neptune.
Jupiter influences hope,
Goodwill,
And optimism,
While Neptune rules spirituality,
All things subtle,
Creativity,
And empathy.
The moon is the major arcana tarot card,
He-18.
The Hebrew letter associated with this card is koth,
Represented as the back of the head,
The hidden,
What we cannot see,
Or the shadow.
Whether you are referring to the Marseille deck,
The Rider-Waite,
Or the Thoth deck,
A common theme in the cards are the symbol of the canine creatures,
The wolf,
Domesticated dog,
Or Anubis or Jackal,
Along with a crustacean in a pool of water or dung beetle on land,
With the moon and the towers.
All symbolic of choice of the reflection of the hidden,
What cannot be seen by the mind,
Yet has a connection to a lunar intuition of the body and a gestation process.
If this card comes up in a reading,
It can refer to the subconscious,
A personal mystery,
Or relating to the Inquirer's concept of femininity,
A mother,
Imagination,
Creativity,
Receptivity,
And intuition.
This is the card of corporeal intelligence,
A body consciousness with Pisces governing the feet,
The base of the body,
The root of matter placed upon the earth as an extension of earth in human form.
This is the card of reflection and of choice of the matter of being,
And representative of what can be revealed in a meditative state.
Paul Foster Case stated this card in the tarot book,
Revealing the star to the soul.
In our meditation,
We will tap into the wellspring of inner authenticity and connect to the receptivity of the wisdom of the creative influence of the fertile moon with a yoga nidra inspired practice,
The practice of yogic or psychic sleep.
Please find yourself in a seated or lying down position.
However you find yourself,
Allow yourself to soften and surrender with compassion for yourself.
Think of this meditation as a retreat into the astral realms.
Serve the room in which you are about to meditate.
Maybe you'd like to scan the room.
Notice where there are windows or doors or focus on an object,
And if available to you,
You may like to close your eyes or soften your gaze.
At any moment,
You may shift your position or your focus.
If you are lying down or seated,
If accessible to you,
Place the palms of your hands upward,
Feet outward.
Observe the extension of your spine.
Breathe here now,
Allowing your eyes to gently close as you prepare your body for a stillness like a calm mirrored surface lake under a star filled night.
Observe your breath.
Observe the state of your current being upon the floor you are resting.
Notice the distant sounds outside of your body.
Observe without attachment.
Notice the inner sounds that are closer.
Observe without attachment.
As you observe,
Notice the rise and fall of your breath.
As you observe,
Notice the areas where your body is making contact.
From the top of your head to your feet,
Allow your body to surrender to the rise and fall of the breath.
As you breathe,
Exhale to relax into a deeper state of rest.
And on the inhale,
May the breath soothe with tranquility like gentle waves upon the serene body of water.
As you breathe,
Imagine the gentle waves generating from your breath,
From your toes to the top of your head,
And up and down your body,
A caress,
A sensation of pure relaxation.
With each wave,
All worries dissolve.
Along with each gentle wave,
Allow any emotional or physical tension to wash away and be carried by the water into stillness.
With each exhale,
A presence of calm serenity envelops your every cell,
Bringing with it nourishment with each breath.
Each breath bringing a softening,
A sweet surrender.
Observe as you breathe in and out any new sensations you feel in your body.
As you invite in a deep breath,
Maybe you'd like to let out a sigh or yawn upon the next exhale.
Bring your attention to your heart center of your body.
Do you notice your heartbeat and the warmth which emanates from your heart,
Fueling the body with blood and nourishing the cells which carry your life essence?
Notice this warming energy flow throughout your body.
At this moment,
Is there a word,
Phrase,
Or wish you'd like to set as an intention for yourself?
A word or words for you to witness and be complete as you are.
As you breathe,
Bring your attention to your skin,
Flesh,
And bones.
Feel the vibration of your life essence flow throughout your body.
Notice the feel of the tips of your fingers,
Your entire fingers,
Palms of your hands,
Back of hands,
Your whole hands,
Wrists,
Elbows,
Forearms,
Shoulders,
Your whole arms.
Bring your attention to the top of your head,
Forehead,
Skull,
Brain,
Brows,
Ears,
Jaw,
Eyes,
Nose,
Nostrils,
Tip of nose,
Inside the nose,
Cheeks,
Chin,
Lips,
Inside the mouth,
Tongue,
Teeth,
The moistness of your mouth,
Your neck,
Throat,
Clavicle,
Chest.
Rise and fall of your chest,
Ribs,
Abdomen,
Waist,
Navel,
Belly,
Hips,
Thighs,
Pubic bone,
Pubis,
Buttocks,
Back of thighs,
Front of thighs,
Knees,
Front of shins,
Back of shins,
Ankles,
Heels,
Tops of feet,
Bottoms of feet,
And all toes and tips of toes.
As you breathe,
Imagine a gentle vibration flowing through you.
With each exhale and inhale,
Your personal light of energy grows.
The light which sees everything and welcomes without attachment.
If thoughts or feelings come or go,
They flow like gentle waves of water moved by your breath.
Your body is at rest and presence is breathing in a serene environment of clarity.
Be the witness to splendor.
Transcend through the abyss to awaken again.
Your choice is your own.
As you breathe,
Your next few breaths will give you silence and space to confide within your inner guide under the moon.
In the next few breaths,
If accessible to you,
I invite you to place a hand on your heart and one on your belly and notice what your hands feel like on your body.
This is your body.
These are your hands.
Take a deep breath as you arrive back into your waking awareness.
When you are ready with closed eyes,
You may like to circle your wrists or ankles.
Maybe wiggle your fingers and toes or stretch,
Yawn,
Or smile.
If you're lying down and comfortable to you,
You may like to extend this meditative journey into your conscious world by rising ever so gently on your side.
Allow your process to be gentle and slow.
You may rise on your right,
The solar side of your being,
Or your left,
The lunar side of your being.
Solar being introspective,
Creative,
Yin,
Intuitive,
The language of dreams and the astral realm.
And solar being expressive,
Yang,
Logic,
Physical,
Linear,
And energized.
When you are ready,
You may open your eyes if they were closed.
Examine the room in which you are.
Maybe you'd like to journal what showed up for you today.
Thank you for exploring the astral realms with us.
You are magical,
You are complete,
You are whole,
And you are the embodiment and expression of love.
