STANDING PEOPLE

CARD NAME: STANDING PEOPLE


REPRESENTS: ROOTS / GIVING


APPLICATION:

The Standing People card speaks to us of roots and giving. We must nurture ourselves through connection to the Earth in order to give freely with out exhaustion. The root of the Self is where strength is gathered. This root should be firmly earthed in the soil of our Mother Planet. Without this connection, dream cannot manifest and our giving cannot be compensated by the Earth Mother. If you are spaced out, stop and reconnect.


Be still and become the trees in order to observe what is growing in your forest. The root of every answer for physical life is found in the Earth. Look to your family tree for the strength offered by your Ancestors. Lift your branches high, seeking the light of Grandfather Sun and you will see how your roots make you of the Earth and yet a bridge to the Sky World.


The Standing People are asking you to give of yourself. Ask yourself if you are willing to give and receive. Count the root of every blessing with gratitude. Find any blockage that limits your root system or ability to go deeper. Then remove that feeling and go deeper. Then remove that feeling and go deeper once again for the answers you seek. Remember that we are also the root of the future and through our lives, future generations are nurtured. . . Weed out anything that will inhibit future growth and you can stand proud among your Tree Relations.


MEDITATION: 

Aho Sacred Tree of Life,
The root of every tree,
Thank you for giving
The gifts you give to me.


Also Standing People,
From you I will learn,
To keep my roots well planted,
Yet reach for Grandfather Sun.


Aho Willow, tree of love,
Teach me to bend,
Till I come full circle.
Each relation as my friend.
