This message is all about finding courage and embracing the unknown to follow where your soul feels light and love and peace.
In the first card I am drawn to the emptiness and darkness of the ground, do you feel deflated and under soul nourished in your life? Where nothing feels alive anymore, maybe you don't feel alive, you have lost your light, your joy and just existing in the world instead of truly living.
All the stones in card 1 is showing me clutter, overwhelm and feeling claustrophobic. This could be in your daily life, work, your thoughts and feelings within. Where life feels too much, too fast and you yearn for the gentle, minimal space of card 2.
The woman in card 1 is running away from this, from all which drains her soul, she hears and sees the light of her heart calling her to a new life, to find her peace and joy again. It is courage you need to embody, and know that there is never a right time where you will ever feel 100% ready or confident, you need to lead, step forward and to take action for change to happen and confidence to grow.
The mountain in card 1 is showing me it is never easy to embark on a journey of the unknown, of following your heart and taking charge of change in your life. it will feel like it is a uphill struggle at times, but the mountain symbolises strength and growth in yourself, all the challenges and obstacles you overcome, and where you learn so much about yourself and wisdom along the way.
The light above the mountain peak is your soul/heart...your map and compass to guide you the way, you must learn to trust in your feelings, be led from within, to don't follow others, or do what others wish you to do and be, forge your own path and live life that is aligned to your soul truths and values to nourish you and to live a fulfilling life.
Stepping stones in card 2 is telling me, it takes a small step as often as you can for change to happen, to be consistent and focus on the life you want, the life that your soul craves. To map out small achievable steps and find that courage in card 1 to actively take action. That is where the transformation happens. if you want to get somewhere-you have to walk towards that place- one foot in front of the other.
We can see in card 2 that there are less stones, this symbolises simplifying your life, taking away all the overwhelm, the over thinking, and clutter from the stones in card 1 and replacing them with fullness and flow of water-the life force energy of nourishment and cleansing and the sense of calm.
With the tree in card 2 it shows me a open heart charka, and a life full of abundance and love, the result of journey of following your heart and aligning life to your soul, the light bubble around her is showing me strong protection of your energy, boundaries and self love and worth, she unlike the woman in card 1 who is running, she is walking, almost stopping and taking her final step into the light of your her heart, this shows that despite the start of the journey in card 1 and the mountain that seemed impossible to climb and the light of love being so far away, is that anything is possible and your new life awaits.
It takes one step, each day, being led by the callings of your heart for you to step into your light, your love, and to feel truly alive once again.
