The Three of Disks represents dedication to artistic and vocational work.
It emphasises labour,
Discipline,
And the development of practical confidence and skills.
This card is associated with immersion in work,
Whether it involves crafting arts,
Design,
Architecture,
Or mastering a professional skill.
It stresses the importance of precision,
Attention to detail,
And the recognition that comes from patient,
Constructive work.
In this Active Imagination exercise,
We will connect with these aspects,
Focusing on how our efforts shape and refine our professional and creative paths.
So first,
Just making sure you're comfortable,
Whether seated or lying down.
Adopting a posture that is both relaxed and alert.
Close your eyes.
Just take a couple of deep breaths.
Just allow your mind and body to come to a natural place of rest.
Just keep your attention on the breath for now.
Whether it's the rising and falling of the abdomen,
Or the sensation of the air moving through the nostrils.
If at any point you do get distracted,
Simply bring the attention back to the exercise.
And now,
Imagine that you're entering a workspace that aligns with one of your key vocational passions.
Allow the space to gradually form from your imagination.
This is a space where your skills and interests can be fully engaged.
Notice the various details,
The textures,
The lighting,
Any tools available.
And now begin to imagine a project forming in this space.
Allow the details of the projects to emerge naturally.
What is it you are creating or building?
How do your hands move?
What materials are you using?
Take your time to immerse yourself in this process.
And watch as your creation evolves.
And now,
As you continue to work,
On your project,
You're going to ask yourself a series of questions.
And as you do,
Just state the question in your mind.
And just allow any answers to appear.
Ask yourself,
What aspect of myself is being expressed through this work?
What challenges am I encountering?
What do my challenges reveal about my approach to problem solving?
How does focusing on this project reflect my larger aspirations or goals?
Having asked these questions and having noted any answers that may have arisen.
Imagine yourself now making a final symbolic alteration to your work.
This could be a creative flourish,
Or a practical adjustment.
After making this alteration,
Observe how it affects the project as a whole.
What new qualities or characteristics does it bring?
And now notice how this final alteration transforms not only your project,
But also your perception of it.
How does it reflect back on you as the creator?
So,
Just allowing the scene to fade now.
And remember,
It can be useful to journal this experience after the exercise.
And continue to reflect on it over the coming days and weeks.
So,
Bringing your attention back to the space around you now.
Noticing any sounds or sensations.
Taking a deep breath.
And opening your eyes again in your own time.
And opening your eyes again in your own time.
