“We instinctively turn to the sea when we need peace, fluidity, a wider perspective, and a deeper understanding of ourselves. Current research endorses that impulse: it shows that forging a deeper connection to nature can transform our overall wellbeing. Water in particular can amplify nature’s soothing properties, helping us achieve elevated and sustained happiness. Being in and around the sea – or bringing it to mind with images like the ones you will find in this deck – can activate our ‘blue mind,’ making us feel calmer, clearer, more connected, and creative.” – Pippa Best
“Wallace J. Nichols, marine biologist, researcher, and author of the book Blue Mind, explains, “The term ‘blue mind’ describes the mildly meditative state we fall into when near, in, on, or under water. It’s the antidote to what we refer to as ‘red mind,’ which is the anxious, over-connected, and overstimulated state that defines the new normal of modern life.”
How will you consciously use water and the sea in your life today to help reach this Blue Mind state we all need?
This morning, I am using a new deck that just arrived yesterday, called Sea Soul Journeys Oracle deck by Pippa Best. It’s messages are short, simple, and profound, and the images are deep. I paired it with a tumbled Dumortierite; a tumbled Chrysoprase; and 2 Polished Kyanite pieces. . I asked: 1. What guidance do I need today? 2. What action do I need to take? 3. What are the potential outcomes?
I drew: Present; Courageous; and Shine.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO DRAW A CARD FOR YOU FROM THIS DECK, PLEASE POST A REQUEST IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.
In the first position –What I need to KNOW – I drew The Present Card, which says, “May you sense each shiver of the surf.” The sea is a constant receiver, a whole-body sensation pulling you into the now. It calls you into this breath, into this wave, into this thrill and this leap. Into your presence. It sounds the pulse of your soul, urging you to claim this entire being. Blessings: May you be here now. May all your senses be engaged. May you delight in the exquisite detail of everything. May you occupy your precious life. Mantra: I am mindfully here.
In the second position –What ACTION I need to take – I drew The Courageous card, which says, “May each breaking wave build your courage.” The sea wills you to see your strength in every wave that breaks in your path. It proves your resilience with challenges to extend your courage, stroke by stroke. IT asks how far you will go in pursuit of yourself, toward all you can become. Blessings: May you throw caution to the wind and the gulls. May you find courage in the sea. May you be bold. Mantra: I face fear with compassion, and claim my path.
In the third position –Potential OUTCOMES - I drew the Shine card, which says, “May you be a lighthouse.” In the sea, living each wave fully, you are luminous. Washed in light, the water glittering on your skin, you are alive with the thrill of facing fear, over and over. As you endeavor, you inspire all those around you toward greater bravery. Blessings: May you be seen and known and understood. May you be the inspiration you are looking for. May you dive deep into the glitter. Mantra: As I shine, I light a path for others.
Present. Courageous. Shine. These cards are perfect for me today as I prepare to launch my new journey tomorrow.
You can interpret today’s cards for your own context as well. Look at the images, text, and colors of the cards. Intuit their meanings for your own situation. What do they bring immediately to mind for you?
What will you do today to immerse yourself fully in the moment? How can you allow yourself to find courage in the challenges that appear before you? And in what ways will you serve as a beacon for others through your actions?
