The Seven of Disks is a card that represents patience,
Perseverance,
And the potential for growth and reward after a period of hard work.
In this exercise,
We will use active imagination to help you integrate the wisdom of the Seven of Disks and gain insights into your inner world,
Particularly in areas related to long-term planning,
Patience,
And determination.
So find a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down where you won't be disturbed.
Take a couple of deep breaths.
Just allow the mind and the body to relax.
Just keep your attention on the breath for now,
And if at any point you do get distracted,
Just bring your attention back to the exercise.
And now visualize yourself standing in a beautiful and thriving garden.
Take a moment to observe the scene,
Noticing the vibrant colors,
Fragrances,
And the various plants growing around you.
As you explore the garden,
You come across a wise gardener tending to the plants.
This figure represents the wisdom and lessons embodied by the Seven of Disks.
Approach the gardener and ask them for guidance.
You might ask for guidance on how to cultivate patience,
Perseverance,
And long-term planning in your life.
Listen carefully to the insights and advice the gardener shares with you.
Reflect on these lessons and consider how they apply to your current situation and goals.
The gardener then invites you to participate in the planting and nurturing of a new seed.
Plant the seed in the soil and tend to it with care and attention.
And now stand back and observe the growth of your seed,
From a tiny sprout to a mature,
Fruitful plant.
This process symbolizes the journey of patience,
Perseverance,
And the rewards that come from hard work and dedication.
As you watch the plant grow,
Bring to mind a long-term goal or project that you wish to achieve.
Realize yourself working on it with patience and perseverance,
Taking the necessary steps towards success.
As you bid farewell to the gardener,
Express gratitude for their guidance and the opportunity to participate in the growth process.
As you go about your daily life,
Notice how completing this exercise changes your relationship to patience,
Perseverance,
And long-term planning.
Remember to carry the energy and insights gained with you,
And use them to cultivate resilience,
Determination,
And the willingness to see your goals through to completion.
So just bringing your attention back to the room now,
Noticing any sounds,
Sensations,
And in your own time,
Opening your eyes again.
