Hello beautiful soul and welcome,
I'm Julie Lewin,
Founder of the Arakira self-healing modality and your guide today for a unique journey into the wisdom of the Arakira Celestial Guidance Cards.
Today we delve into the message of the Material Card.
This card invites you to truly experience all that is solid,
Visible and touchable in your world,
The material realm.
To be truly present in the material world,
You need to actively engage with your surroundings in a tactile way.
The faculty of touch is an extraordinary gateway through which you can explore the material world with remarkable depth.
How do we do this?
By being consciously aware of the physical sensation of everything you touch,
Don't just brush past an object,
Truly feel it.
Notice its texture,
Its weight and even its subtle vibration.
As you do this,
Also consider how does this physical connection impact you energetically.
When you become acutely conscious of all that is in your environment and intentionally add the dimension of touch to that awareness,
You will enter a heightened tactile zone.
This fascinating aspect of practising this awareness of your physical environment is that you are simultaneously also practising awareness of your subtle worlds.
Remember,
You are not only the physical body,
Nor are you only the subtle bodies.
Living to your highest potential is about beautifully integrating all your bodies and feeling the authenticity of your whole self.
Now let's move into a powerful exercise from this card to deepen your tactile sensitivity and embody integration.
I invite you to consciously touch as many different textures as you can find in your environment today.
Seek out examples like the smoothness of silk,
The warmth of wool,
The familiar feel of cotton,
The luxuriousness of velvet,
The sleekness of satin,
The grain of wood,
The coolness of metal,
The pliability of plastic and the hardness of glass,
The granular feel of sand,
The richness of soil,
The small bumps of gravel,
The fineness of powder,
The softness of grass,
The delicate petals of flowers,
The texture of leaves and the roughness of branches.
For a truly profound experience,
Gently shut your eyes as you explore each sample and allow yourself to simply feel the sensations without the distraction of sight.
Pay attention to the nuances,
The weight and any subtle vibrations and notice how each different material makes your skin feel and what energetic response if any arises within you.
I'll leave you a minute to consider what tactile experience are you going to have today and continue to engage with your environment through conscious touch throughout your day,
Not just now,
Remember this simple act of tactile awareness brings you more fully into the present moment and strengthens the integration of all your bodies for living to your highest potential.
Return to this practice whenever you seek deeper embodiment or a heightened sense of presence.
Thank you for exploring the wisdom of the material card with me today.
