Today’s
card, “Restore and Replenish” from the Sacred Rebels Oracle is all about taking some time to get back on your feet
again after a period of stress and anxiety or perhaps after being worn out from the demands of daily life.
We see a
woman all curled up in a fetal position, protecting the fragile parts of her body and trying
to shut out the world She is resting in the center of a mandala, the point where
everything comes from and where everything will return again; the perfect place to find you
center again.
This card
is telling us to take it slow for a while. But it's more than just rest and sleep, which of course can feel very pleasant and satisfactory. This card
urges us to break away from daily routines and try to find a way to get
physically active so you will be able to stop thinking, worrying and planning. Doing something
is a perfect way to quiet our mind. Take walk, ride bike or when it is pouring
outside like here today, bake something delicious or clean out a closet. Trust yourself you will know best what is the right thing for
you to do.
I am inclined to go full steam ahead after I've
declared myself `recovered`. So this card is
a good reminder to take it one
step at the time and really look after myself.
