Hello,
Thank you for joining me in this guided meditation named Card to Heart Connection.
The intention of this practice is to provide a moment to connect with your cards rather than rushing in to shuffle or pull them.
Here we will be infusing your magic and energy into your deck and allowing the wisdom of your cards to connect with you too.
Begin by finding a comfortable place to sit with your spine upright yet relaxed.
Have your deck of choice close to hand or you can hold them as we start to tune in to ourselves first.
If it feels comfortable to do so,
Close down your eyes or perhaps soften your gaze.
Take a moment to find your breath.
Notice where you feel it within your body.
Perhaps it's your belly or your chest,
Your ribs,
Your nose,
It could be anywhere.
Just taking a moment to tune in to your breath,
Noticing where you feel it.
Noticing the quality of it,
How it feels.
Just taking that step towards it.
Not trying to change it,
Just befriending it,
Just noticing it.
Beautiful.
Now we're going to drop deeper into the body and notice any sensations that may be present.
How are you feeling?
Just noticing anything that comes up when I ask that question.
Noticing any emotions or feelings or perhaps something more physical,
Any tightness,
Tension.
If that's the case,
Just returning back to your breath and seeing if you can soften it.
All is welcome,
There is no need to change anything.
Everything is welcome here.
And now begin to center your attention on your heart space in the center of your chest.
Try to feel into the physical sensation of your heart beating in your ribcage.
Noticing the very subtle beats and rhythms.
And then seeing if there's anything that arises when you place your attention here.
You could feel something tingly or perhaps heaviness,
Weight,
Maybe lightness.
There could be colors.
Anything that comes up,
Again,
All is welcome.
Just taking a moment to feel into your heart space,
Dropping in here,
Being here with it.
And if there is an intention,
Inquiry or question that comes up here,
That's so beautiful.
Keep it within your heart for now.
We'll be revisiting it later.
And if you aren't holding your cards,
Now is the time to pick them up.
Place them between your palms with the right hand underneath and the left hand on top with your cards in the middle.
Your left hand is one of receiving.
Your right hand is that of giving.
Take a moment to feel the cards between your hands.
How do they feel?
What is the temperature?
What is the texture?
What is the weight of them?
Notice how they feel physically within your hands.
Then see if you can tune in energetically.
Can you sense the energy of them?
Perhaps there is a tingling between your hands or a sense of excitement or anticipation.
Maybe there's some nervousness,
Some hesitancy,
Some resistance.
If there's nothing,
That's okay too.
Now bring your attention back to the center of your chest,
To your heart space,
Returning here.
If an intention,
Inquiry or question did come up for you before,
Tune back into that now,
Repeating the words to yourself,
Becoming clearer in what that could be or what those words look like.
If nothing came up,
That is also okay.
Just tuning in and sitting with the energy is more than enough.
Now begin sending the energy of your heart,
That swirling beautiful sensation,
Whatever it is that came up for you before,
Begin sending it across your chest to your right,
Down your right arm,
Forearm,
Wrist,
Into your hand,
Into your right hand and imagine the energy infusing into the bottom,
The base of your cards,
Through your right palm.
You are giving that energy through your right palm.
That energy is traveling down through your right side from your heart into the bottom of your cards.
Your right side is giving,
Giving this energy.
See the energy swirling into your deck,
Soaking into each card,
Surrounding it with your energy,
Intention,
Wishes,
Love and connection.
Visualize and imagine that however you want.
And when this feels complete,
Allow this energy to come up through the top of your deck and begin soaking into your left palm.
Allow your left hand to receive all of the energy you have just cultivated,
Your energy,
Your magic,
Your love.
See it traveling up through your left palm,
Your wrist,
Up your left forearm,
Elbow,
Top of the arm,
Into the shoulder.
See it traveling across your chest and back into your heart space.
Thus sealing and creating a circle of energy through your body that infuses into your cards,
Into the center and reroutes back to you again.
Sit for a moment imagining this cycle of energy swirling through you,
Deepening your connection to yourself and your cards.
Breathe into this.
Let the energy move and flow in an unbreakable bond.
Beautiful.
How do you feel right now?
Tuning into yourself again.
How do your cards feel right now?
Soaking it all in.
When you are ready,
If it feels complete and if it doesn't,
Feel free to pause here and sit with this for a moment longer.
You may easily open your eyes and come back to your physical space,
Taking a moment to orient yourself in the room you are in.
Keep your cards in your hands for a moment longer knowing that you have permeated them with your heart energy and you are now so deeply connected to them and them to you.
And if it feels right,
You can now continue by shuffling and pulling the cards in a spread or journaling.
However you practice,
Whichever way feels right for you and perhaps writing down or tuning into the intention or question that may have come up earlier.
Thank you so much for practicing with me and dedicating this time,
Energy,
Space to yourself and to your cards and to your practice.
This is such a beautiful thing.
I would love to hear what comes up for you if anything and you can reach out to me via my Instagram which is slow underscore tarot or my sub stack which is slow tarot stories.
Take sweet care of yourself,
My love.
