RABBIT – NOURISH
In a world spinning with commotion, Rabbit sits still as a statue, refusing to take part in the frenetic energy. Rabbit remains alert while exuding stability, and carefully considers when the right time is to make its next move.
Receiving this card means you are invited to stop and take stock of the cycles of life. At times it’s rich and fertile with creativity, growth, and expansion. Other times it’s important to retreat into a protective shell, much like Rabbit scratches a hollow in the earth and burrows into the ground so as to be less visible.
Rabbit offers you this wisdom, encouraging you to cradle yourself in Mother Earth’s nurturing and loving vitality and gently take note of the times you’ve selflessly given your energy to mothering others.
It’s time to honor yourself with that same care, love, and sustenance you need. In this way, you stay connected to the wise inner self, which is always connected to Source, so you can co-create your next step in life. Rabbit is reminding you to rejuvenate your vitality so you can move forward with an invigorated spirit and clear sense of purpose.
This sacred gift of clarity then carries you back out into the world to serve others in a positive and caring way which enriches your journey as well. ©BarbaraTechel
SKUNK – RESPECT
Skunk stops to inhale the enticing fragrance of the soft pink flower. In enjoying the beauty around her, she also hopes to remind us of her beauty and to dispel our misunderstandings about her.
Skunk wraps you in the loving embrace of protection while inviting you to thoughtfully look within at a part of yourself you have either browbeaten or turned away from in loathing. This is a courageous act of love, requiring your gentle care, curiosity, and compassion.
Quite fearless and at home in its own mind, Skunk never seems to be in a hurry. This allows it to be in the moment and explore what is directly in front of it. Skunk is encouraging you to do the same.
Also good at digging and creating a hollow to rest, Skunk appeals to you to burrow below the surface and listen to the part of you that you tend to ignore. It’s time to stop piling negativity on this part of you, and instead lovingly extend it kindness. As you carefully examine these sensitive aspects, remember to allow them to open up in their own time without tension or unnecessary expectations.
As you honor being with what it is you resist about yourself, expect you will come to see these aspects in a new light of understanding and respect. ©BarbaraTechel
RED SQUIRREL – INQUISITIVE
The rambunctious Red Squirrel stops for a moment halfway down the trunk of the tree in order to savor a randomly discovered and treasured treat.
Not one to enjoy hanging out with other squirrels, Red Squirrel delights in its own company, whether it is dining on an afternoon snack or scampering, quick and lively as a sprite, through the forest, allowing its endless curiosity to lead the way.
Five gold coins encircle Red Squirrel’s head; pointed tufts of hair on its ears give it a whimsical look. It’s as if Red Squirrel is pointing the way for you to be inquisitive and tune into what you may need to change in your life so you can explore with more wonder and joy. Red Squirrel reminds you that your true riches lie within your inner world.
So stay flexible, let go of outdated ways of being, and embrace the part of you that knows how to live without worry or fear. Then dive heart first into a new endeavor infused with your inherent curious nature.
Know that following your wise inner voice will reveal gems that transform you and bring unexpected treats you will savor for a long time to come. ©BarbaraTechel
