Creating Bridges: Spirituality & Philosophy:
Lynn Andrews and The Path of the Heart
Power Deck Card
of the Month: Strength
|
|
|
by Lynn Andrews |
|
|
The Strength card is a North card, white in color on the wheel, number 27 in the book.
The person who upsets you the most in your life is one of your best teachers. If that person can get inside your head, turn you around and confuse you; you know that you still don't understand what you are doing. You need more strength and to learn by seeing that your life is a teaching. Like the Lotus feeling its pain, its inner solitude, gain strength from entering your womb to learn from them. The magician remembers the trail and takes a different one. Even if it is more difficult, in this way you build strength.
The painting on the card is entitled Unfold in Light. It depicts a dense forest and a sacred being, a Buddha healing his pain within the solitude of inner and outer wilderness. The red lotus represents the pain in the world being healed through transformation from the material into the higher realms of consciousness. Inner strength is found through deep inner search and meditation, particularly in times of transition.
In the Shaman tradition we move into the pain that we experience in life to find the possibilities for learning and growth that are hidden there. When you experience your pain in all its aspects you can then move through it and emerge on the other side a much more powerful and strengthened person. This is a north card dealing with strength, wisdom, and spirit. By balancing your physical life with your spiritual life you will find the strength necessary to evolve and to make your dreams come true.
Prayer: I Am Full
"I Am Full" is something that Agnes Whistling Elk always says to me when she feels that she has learned something truly important and is ready to make that manifest in her life.
Great Spirit, someone once said that the only thing to fear is fear itself. Perhaps there is great wisdom in that comment because I see all around me the manifestations of fear. I see unknown diseases running rampant. Oh Great Spirit, help us to heal our spirits so that we can heal our health. Health is the greatest gift you have given us.
As I look at the mountains reflecting the setting Sun I see the preparations for darkness. I see the great canyons losing their light, moving into a time of hibernation. The long dark night of the soul. But, the sun will rise in the morning and new light will be brought to those corners where shadows lurk and fears abide. Suddenly like ghosts in the night they are gone and a new day dawns. Thank you Great Spirit for bringing us a new day. Thank you for bringing the sun and illuminating the mountains of endeavor of our lives. Each of us has a sacred mountain within us Great Spirit and I am climbing, ever climbing, towards the top. Help me on my journey Great Spirit so that one day I can look out across the vast desert from a new perspective and see the magnificent mystery of life as a truly reclaimed dimension of truth.
Great Spirit you have sent us so many Shamans to teach us and these Shamans stand quiet in silence all around the world in the great trees that provide such magnificent shade from the heat of summer. The sentinels of Suharto cactus that guard over the history of the land. They remember so much that we have forgotten. Thank you Great Spirit for the Shamans, the great stones that create our mountains. Thank you Great Spirit for helping me to climb; for giving me the will to search out what is real and true. You are never ending in your support of me and I fell your hand Great Spirit resting at my back, holding me up when I would fall, giving me comfort when I feel the terror of night encroaching. Help me now Great Spirit as I watch across the world from my mountain peak. Help me to see with new eyes, help me to hear your words whispered on the winds.
I know that you send me many allies Great Spirit. These allies surround me, if only I could see them and sense their presence. I celebrate you Great Spirit every day of my life and I give thanks for the creation of this great schoolhouse called Earth. I thank you for my Shaman path, for the light of the sun, the dance of the moonlight across my path, and the stars that lend us their wisdom. The Pleaides that give us comfort in the teachings of the ancient ones. The buffalo roamed here once, free and stout and strong. They have transformed now, most of them, into other places in the Universe but they have left their memory, the sound of their hooves as they would run in herds through the wind. Great Spirit forgive us for not understanding the trail. Forgive us for our ignorance but we will do better. We are learning and we are committed to the path of Heart. Thank you Great Spirit for all you have given us: Hope.
