Before we start,
Take a moment to center yourself down to your breath.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and release the breath out through your nose or let out a sigh.
Take both hands and put them on your heart.
Connect right here.
Let's begin.
Do you have tarot cards?
If you wish,
You can pull the fool card out and sit with it while you listen.
You could path work into the card and visualize yourself as the fool or you can simply meditate with it and see where it takes you while you listen.
There are many renditions of the fool's journey of the tarot and this one is just one of many.
The fool's qualities are young,
The freshness of wonder and curious mind.
Ready for adventure,
Ready to meet and seek what is next.
See the card and let's enter the scene.
If you wish,
You can close your eyes or you can simply stare at the card.
Feel the air.
What does the sky look like?
See the scenery of where you are at.
How does it look like?
Listen to the environment.
Do you hear anything?
What are the sounds?
Touch something.
What is it that you are holding?
Enjoy the play with the energies of the fool's journey.
The fool's journey is a metaphor that I have connected with and now you can too.
Recognizing that life's journey doesn't move consistently.
It's an ebb and flow of how we allow the energies to take us.
And we call it to trust.
The directions of the frequency we feel as we wallow through.
Each experience takes us on a path to self-discovery and more self-awareness,
Embracing and following through with how the energies can transform our lives.
The beginning of our story,
Foolishly or consciously diving into the journey like a great explorer.
Life is a stage.
We are the character in which we take a role and enter the scene.
Each beginning of a chapter is a foolish notion,
Taking a risk and stepping into the unknown.
An adventure.
Who knows what will happen?
The transitions from unknowing to opportunities we have yet to meet.
An endeavor awaits.
Spontaneous actions are creative self-expressions that bring joy into our lives.
The optimism of wonder soars us in many directions.
How will we know what will happen when we don't leap in and take those chances?
It's scary.
We get chills and our heart beats fast.
Could this be the feeling that makes us anxious and excited simultaneously?
What fun would it be when we know what every spontaneous action would be?
Each segment of our story begins.
It begins somewhere.
It has to.
We can't create without starting somewhere.
Each character we play is a new role in a new narrative,
A new script we choose.
Imagine a world that is ours to create.
Free to explore unconventional ways of thinking,
Maybe reckless,
Perhaps a fall,
Possibly disappointing,
Perhaps happiness,
Perhaps the achievement of success,
Maybe everything you wish to experience.
Will you find yourself?
The structured story tells us what we may do next,
But our life sometimes implies otherwise.
Things may not go accordingly to what we envisioned and planned.
The Fool here reminds us that when we fall into the abyss,
We are led by the signs we have placed before us,
Upon each step into our next.
As we live our story,
Every day is unfolding.
We will awaken a hundred times more and have self-awareness continuously.
The journey is through each process we take to that destination we strive for.
And maybe all we strive for is to remain present in each awakening moment.
Follow the flow of many lessons life has to give us after every step revived more,
A walkthrough of our journey called life.
Is there even a map set up of where we want to go?
Could we constantly predict it?
Doesn't it often change over time?
The journey is spontaneous,
Like the inner child exploring every possibility,
The risk-taker,
Unafraid to step into the deep waters and the beauty of nature,
Feeling all the elements of the realm.
Every single thing matters and is new with wonder,
With curiosity.
There are dualities and paradoxes in this world.
We will learn to navigate through and harmonize these aspects,
Discovering the push and pull in and out of your being.
See the path of potential in all directions.
You choose.
A choice of how we enter every life experience given.
Let's call these opportunities.
Every step is reimagined.
Are the structures and foundations set in stone?
Or is it up to the individual's beauty of experiences?
From vast experiences,
I know it is up to the individual and from a bold perspective,
Nothing is set in stone.
And when one is turned,
Turn them around and rewrite it.
I want us to find our fool's journey and to take the leaps,
Bounds,
And risks necessary to pull us into the authentic direction of our lives.
That is what I call the fool's journey.
