everything is energy. everything is connected.
It comes with no surprise that we, as multi-faceted beings living multi-faceted lives, can experience a fragmentation (rather than a fluidity) of energy. It happens, but it's not natural.
It's because our energy is often trapped in limiting beliefs we have about various aspects of our lives — past, present, and future — and the subtle attachments we have to these ideas.
The Subtle Ground Cards teach you to see differently and return to the flow and fullness of Self.
You may experience "A-ha!" moments but do not look for them. While the shifts may be subtle, their impact can be significant. After all, everything is connected.
Shall we?
welcome to practice.
STEP 1
THE MIRROR
Here, we begin practicing self-awareness and accountability. Too often do we look outside of ourselves, reinforcing a false sense of separation. The Mirror card reminds us that we are the source of our own experience.
Draw the Mirror card to get a point of reference — an area in your life where your thoughts and emotions can manifest. Your Mirror can be a person, place or thing and is simply meant to act as a starting point for further introspection.
STEP 2
THE STORY
Here, we go deeper. What shows up in our Mirror is often perceived through the lens of our ego-identity. This is why we must pinpoint and clear the underlying Story in our subconscious that shapes the idea of who we think we are.
Draw the Story card to evoke your deeper feelings, ideas and beliefs about foundational themes of this human experience. Your Story is what determines how you relate and make the most out of life. It is conditioned until consciously re-written.
STEP 3
THE GIFT
After using the Mirror card to look inward and the Story card to go deeper, the Gift card raises our vibration upward.
Draw the Gift card to reveal a new and inspired way to see, reset or even let go of your internal narratives and their energy. Your Gift elevates how well you perceive, and therefore, how well you receive what the present moment has to offer.
STEP 4
THE RITUAL
"Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment,
chop wood, carry water."- Zen Proverb
The Ritual card brings us full circle, back to everyday life. A moment for re-integration.
Draw the Ritual card to help cultivate presence and embody mindfulness in the here and now. Your Ritual grounds your intentions and holds space for others to do the same. A simple way to close your daily practice.
