Tarot peace meditation

[Silver Venus]

I was thinking that we could all use our tarot cards to meditate and send up energy and love for peace in this world and do something to support.

I thought we could use the World, Star and Sun card. Placing the Star and the Sun either side of the World. What do everyone else think? Anymore cards or any different cards?

I am planning to do my meditation tomorrow afternoon at 4pm GMT time so hopefully we can all time it together? Is that alright for everyone?

Also if anyone else has anysuggestions on this meditation please add... because Ive just made it up.. and think we should make it together

Lay the cards out infront of you. Look at each card clearly for a period of time that feels right. Take your time.
Now close your eyes and visualise each card combining together in a ray of white light. Think of each card again and combine them all. Follow the white light and see where that takes you. If you just hold the white light thats fine.
Now think of the world ~ however you like to visualise ~ a globe from space, maps, people uniting in a circle, different races smiling together.
When you feel ready and full of the white light visulise it going out into the world, filling the world and sealing its self in the world.
Again when you feel ready ~ that the world is full and complete send this energy upwards above your head, powerfully out into the world. You can do this by visulising a stream of light again going up into the sky, the globe floating off fast into the sky.. however you think fits you and is most effective.

This should take about ten minutes at least I think.

Hope everyone likes this idea.
Peace

[Dagda Moon~Lily]

10:33am here now, so just another half hour.

[Myst]

btw I think I'll ask my friends tonight if they want to incorporate this meditation into our Circle, except I think we'll use the Moon and Sun cards on either side of the World, and the Star card placed directly above it.

Just a thought.

[Silver Venus]

Mine was a success ~ I meditated for half an hour ~ it seems to pass so quickly and I couldnt believe Id been 'gone' so long ~ that alwasy happens. I felt drained but lighter and I guess ~ at peace! afterwards :)

Im sorry I didnt get to post it in divination ~ I actually thought the runes would be great too but I thought too late!... and the Moon card would work well depending upon your interpretation of it :)

Hope everyone's went well!
The world is healing now and 10 more bonded and positive after this tragedy. It has brought us closer together.

Life is getting away from me!

I had a tough time meditating, it was very emotional for me. First I grounded and centered, and as I put down my roots and felt Mother Earth, all that came into my mind was "She's crying" I was overwhelmed by the feeling that Our Mother was so sad.

I couldn't remember exactly what you had suggested to do so I kind of winged it. I started with the Sun Card and just pictured that little boy trotting all over the world, waving that flag. I saw him going form country to country and by the time I got to the Middle East, the tears were streaming down my face. Then I focused on the World and everyone inthe world looked up at the sky and saw the stars above. and chanted Star Light, Star bright... (yup very corny but it was what came to mind ;)) and then I just visualized all of the people on Earth wishing for peace and sending that wish up to the stars.

I was pretty drained, but then I seem to be that way as it is. :(

Added: I forgot to say too, I put the cards, when I was done, on the mirror or my dresser, and lit a blue candle in front of them.
PEACE!

[Silver Venus]

Thats sounds very powerful Chris :)
I too began crying when I first grounded and visualised the world but as I brought the star and the sun into it I calmed down, took some deep breathes and focused on restoring peace and lighting up the world with the peace of the sun and star. I saw all the planets through the light and concetrated on the stars quite a bit too... thats what kept me calm (like your chant!).. then as I sent to energy upwards I did feel a release.. I released all my sadness I think at this point and felt allot better and more at peace with myself as well as the world after.
Its mad ~ I dont know if you feel this way too ~ but I felt so guilty.

Hope you feel better soon hun :sunny: and thanks for sharing.
Love, light and peace.

I didn't get to meditate as long as I would have liked to, .....and I didn't have my cards with me, but I still used the star, world, sun as a focal point. I envisioned the cards and they all swirled together in many vibrant colors while meditating! I had feelings of peace and harmony eminating from me. So, hopefully, we did some good! :D

:loveduv:

[Silver Venus]

Thats great Dagda ~ the cards as you know were just to focus :)
Im sure we did do some good! & with the new moon tonight we can always try again and help out some more :sunny:

[Dagda Moon~Lily]

Sounds good! I'll be meditating again tonight! :D

[Silver Venus]

Me too! Im trying to work out a little rite for the new moon to bring justice, peace and unity (See astrology ~ Moon in Libra) But Im going to have to work on it when Ive got time to give it my full attention ~ or I may just go with the flow and see what happens tonight after I meditate :D

[Faery-Wings]

Thanks Silver :) I need to work on getting the "release." This has affected me in so many ways and I know I am struggling with it. I am quite close to NYC and have many friends/family/acquaintences involved in this both as victins and rescue.

I have been having trouble focusing- the cards helped a lot. But I think I need to do a healing for myslef now. Is there a card you think would work for that?

[Dagda Moon~Lily]

For self healing, I would suggest Temperance (balance/health), Emperess (mothering/nurturing) and Hermit (introspection)! :D

Good luck! :D

[Silver Venus]

I agree! and also maybe the Ace of Cups! To start anew with love and hope.

My prayers go out to you as to everyone involved directly and indirectly in this tragedy.
