Amegreen speaks of major transformation that is life-altering and is often represented by a physical illness or a major life trial that wakes you up. It requires you to leap empty-handed into uncharted territory...
To my friends, they'd say that I've done this many times in my life. To me, this feels different. I've exhausted many of my normal resources, throwing me back on the basics. Whatever talents and skills I have in my own body, and the help of my loved ones. This is scarier for that, and yet I feel I have (or am building) the trust/faith to believe that all will be well.
Lepidolite encourages you to let go of outworn modes of behavior (possibly triggered by someone or something from the past). I wonder if your past illness that you battled caused you to use survival tactics that you are still using in the present (though they aren't necessary now)?
My coping mechanisms tend to involve going inside myself. Trying to do everything on my own. Be fiercely independent. Cancer taught me that that simply isn't possible. Now that I'm (mostly) better, I find myself tending to want to do it all myself again. I have to keep reminding myself of that lesson, and trust that it's true.
On the right side, the rose quartz indicates that healing on some level is needed or will be occurring. Moss agate represents our connection with the earth and nature, and seeing how these two stones are touching, makes me think the healing will come through outdoor activities and connecting to the elements.
I LOVE the outdoors, nature, and all its creatures. It's no accident that one of my favorite decks is the Druid Plant Oracle. This past week in the mountains have really reminded me of how much I miss being in nature. I now live in the suburbs. There are woods and a creek behind my house, but it's not the same. I must get up and out to be in it. And I know that if I can find quiet places to rest and think and feel, that this will be good for me. In Tennessee, I spent hours just sitting on our motel deck watching and listening to the creek. It was amazing and healing and beautiful.
The moss agate touches the leopard-skin jasper, which is a good omen for betterment of circumstances with regard to your job/career. This gain will be from merit rather than a gift - in other words, your talent will fuel this change. And since the moss agate and l-s jasper are touching, I think your relationship with nature will influence it also.
Awesome. Since returning, I have many, many ideas for new work. Many of them are nature-based, including impressions of some of my animal guides. It was really incredible to hear some of the comments of people coming through my booth at this last show. Sometimes I can't believe they're talking about me when they go all agog and talk about my talent. It's a beautiful and powerful feeling, and I'm starting to trust that it will lead somewhere other than into a dead-end job just to pay the bills.
