BURDEN BASKET

CARD NAME: BURDEN BASKET

REPRESENTS: SELF RELIANCE

APPLICATION:

If you are carrying a Burden Basket today, this card is telling you to pull from your inner–strength and become self-reliant. You can conquer the world when you let go of the burdens by trusting your ability to find your own answers. Problems cease being burdens when solutions are found.

The Burden Basket also teaches us not to drop our woes at the door of another. .Relying on ourselves and our connection to Great Mystery teachers us to stretch into our potential. If confusion sets in and counsel is sought, use the advice. Don’t waste the precious time of others if you do not intend to respect the wisdom offered. Know also that it’s not your job to solve the problems of others. Don’t rob others of their right to self-reliance.

In all cases, we only carry the burdens we wish to carry. If it makes us feel good or important to have so much to handle, we might need to look at our ideas of self-importance. The reminder is that we are all self-reliant and must use our talents to find our own solutions. The best answer is one shared equally by all travelers on the Sacred Path.

MEDITATION:

Burden Basket carry my grief,

And gives me strength to go on.

Burden Basket reminds me not to take

My burdens to other’s homes.

Burden Basket sings to me,

When the winter os long,

Reminding me of summer’s heat,

Bringing warmth to ancient bones.

SOUTH SHIELD

CARD NAME: SOUTH SHIELD


REPRESENTS: INNOCENCE / INNER CHILD


APPLICATION:

The South Shield card marks a time of returning to the child.-like parts of Self that need no support from the ego. Look at how you can be humble in the present situation. Balance work with play and sacredness with irreverence. In other words, you’ll need to lighten up and drop the uptight parts of Self before you can continue.


This may be a time to get some physical exercise to loosen up tight muscles or laugh to loosen up your sophisticated garbage. Stop holding on so tight and remember how to trust. How can you trust anything or anyone when the image in the mirror is not really you?


In all cases, the South Shield card insists that the child within is trying to teach you something about how to handle the situation. Listening and trusting the little tike might restore some of the lost magic of life. Remember, playfulness heals a world of woes. The more serious you take the game, the less chance any of us have of winning.


MEDITATION:
Red Earth, South Shield,
Child filled with wonder,
Teach me to yield.
Laughter is your Give-Away,
In innocence and joy,
Taking me into the place,
Of little girls and boys.
