This week we find ourselves with Two of Air from the Vision Quest Tarot. In this card two feathers are held by two different persons, against a twilight coloured sky with a crescent moon. Waves are crashing onto the shore and there are rocks in the water. The message on the card says Inner Peace.
Traditionally this card has two swords which crosses the body of a bounded person. In this particular depiction there are two persons, each holding a dark brown feather which cross each other to the backdrop of a beautiful sunset and moonrise scenery. Because the feathers are held by two different persons this indicates that our choices are not pre-destined and also we do not necessary have to choose one path over the other. You can make an inclusive decision and choose both. If your path in life requires a formal avenue and in addition an alternative way of life, this card confirms you can indeed make both work for you. And this will create Inner Peace. The crescent moon’s presence over the waves reminds us of the emotional aspects of making up one’s mind, and that not choosing, but making amends that you can incorporate both ways, will release tension and give you peace.
This card parallels the astrological aspects occurring in June, as laid out by Flavia here. During this time of retrogrades, we might feel that we don’t have any choices and are torn between two, or several, options. The Two of Air reminds you that all is possible, and by accepting this as a path in life, you will now attract the options which are leading you forward. With the upcoming Full Moon in Sagittarius and its’ eclipse on Friday 5 June, all portals of celestial communication will be opened for a short while and then closed. Use this magical time to communicate with your elders, friends and community, on Mother Earth and in other realms. Deep healing occur when the space-time portal is momentarily exposed. Stay tuned into your best options and know you can include them all.
Meditation with Two of Air
Try this meditation with Two of Air.
Sit down in a quiet space. Take a few deep breaths and relax.
Look at the image of Two of Air and observe how the two feathers are firmly held by two people in the card. The scenery of the sunset and moonrise over a wavy ocean is calming. Warm yellow-orange colours together with blue and purple tones are creating a meditative and introspective space. Find your focus point on the card and stay here. Maybe the crescent moon is whispering her secrets to you? Or perhaps the waves are cleansing away any doubts you have from moving on? Relax and let your intuition guide you.
Stay in meditation for 5 to 10 minutes.
After the meditation, journal about the below questions.
How can you purify your communication?
How can you connect and embody the voice of the divine?
Additional practice – healing communication with Iolite
Iolite is a violet-blue crystal, a gem version of Cordierite and it is also called Water Sapphire or Dichroite. The name Iolite comes from the Greek ios, which means violet. Iolite exhibits pleochroism, this creates different colours when the crystal is viewed from different angles. It has a watery connection and a soothing and cleansing energy which brings forth creativity and inspiration. Iolite heals our communication channels by balancing the female and male aspects of ourselves, and it increases clairvoyance. Iolite promotes responsibility and organisation and makes us follow through on plans and aspirations. It has a resonance with the energy of twilight, and it awakens psychic awareness and is effective in past life work. Iolite allows us to express who we are and to follow our own path, irrespective of what others may think. It is a powerful ally for Shamanic work and it will support soul-healing on all levels, past, present and future.
For the healing ceremony, lie down in a comfortable position. Place the Iolite on your throat chakra, and take a few deep breaths and relax. Feel how the deep violet-blue colour of Iolite is calming and cleansing your throat chakra. Sense how the energy of Iolite is travelling down to your heart chakra, your solar plexus, the sacral chakra, the root chakra, the knees, feet and toes, and connecting you to Mother Earth. Then feel how the Iolite energy is going upwards from your throat chakra to the third eye chakra, and the crown chakra and connecting to the great spirit above. Sense how the cleansing and calming energy of Iolite is creating a connection with all your chakras, and spreading the calming violet-blue energy into your whole body. Stay in the calming and nourishing energy of Iolite and feel how your throat chakra is clear and open to communication from the highest good. Note any messages you receive at this point.
Take a deep breath and say thank you to Iolite and its’ healing gift. You can repeat this practice anytime you want to cleanse and nourish your communication channels with the deep violet-blue energy of Iolite.
