The Wheel of Fortune symbolises the cyclic nature of life,
The turns of fate,
And the interplay of destiny and free will.
In its positive aspect,
The Wheel of Fortune signifies opportunities,
Good luck,
And fortuitous timing.
On the challenging side,
It warns of unforeseen changes,
Volatility,
And forces outside our control.
As we navigate through life,
We encounter highs and lows,
Moments of luck,
And periods of challenge.
Recognising and harmonising with the vicissitudes of life is vital in navigating our personal journey.
In this active imagination exercise,
We'll delve into the energy of the Wheel of Fortune,
Embracing the unpredictability of life,
While seeking guidance on how to find our centre amidst its ever-changing nature.
So first find a quiet and comfortable place to sit,
Or lie down,
Where you won't be disturbed.
Close your eyes,
And take a couple of deep breaths,
Just allowing your mind and body to relax naturally.
And just keep your attention on the breath for now.
If at any point you get distracted,
Just bring the attention back to the exercise.
And now,
Imagine yourself standing before a gigantic wheel,
Like the Wheel of Fortune,
Suspended in infinite space.
The Wheel has various symbols and images on it.
Take a moment to examine the Wheel.
Notice its size,
Structure,
The material it's made of,
And the various symbols and images that appear on it.
Is the Wheel spinning fast,
Or slow,
Or not at all?
Imagine that you have the power to spin this Wheel.
Go ahead and give it a spin.
Observe how the Wheel responds.
Does it spin easily,
Does it spin easily,
Or is there resistance?
Once the Wheel stops spinning,
Pay attention to the symbol that it lands on.
Observe the symbol closely.
What feelings or thoughts does this symbol evoke in you?
And now,
You're going to ask yourself a series of questions.
And as you do,
Simply state the question in your mind,
And see what answers arise.
What cycles or patterns in my life does this symbol remind me of?
What phase am I currently in?
How am I handling the ups and downs in my current life situation?
How can I better adapt to the changes that life brings?
And now,
Imagine yourself articulating your own message or insight,
Based on what you've learned from the Wheel and your reflections,
Or anything else you'd like to bring to mind at this time.
As you give your message,
Notice how the Wheel and the space around it respond.
Does the Wheel's appearance change?
Do any new symbols appear?
Is there a change in the Wheel?
Do any new symbols appear?
Is there a shift in the energy of the space?
So take a moment now to just express gratitude to the Wheel and for its many insights.
By engaging with the Wheel of Fortune in this way,
It helps us to gain a deeper understanding of the cyclical nature of life and our place within it.
It's a tool for embracing change,
It's a tool for embracing change,
Seizing opportunities,
And maintaining equilibrium through life's inevitable ups and downs.
So just bringing your attention back to the room now,
Noticing any sounds or sensations,
Taking a deep breath,
And opening your eyes again in your own time.
