CARD 1
Seventh Chakra - Crown Chakra
Rejection
The artist in the picture is summoned for jury duty, but they won't use him. He doesn't fit their concept of what a juror should be. He paints pictures no one understands. He lives alone. They want somebody who will put himself in the other guy's place, but he will never do that. He doesn't get mixed up with anything or anyone. They honor his individuality when they invite him, yet when he appears, they reject it by not using him.
Inspiration - you don't have to be on the inside track. Be true to yourself, and you will not be unhappy. Rejection is spirits protection.
Personal Inquiry - Am I working with or against my environment? What is the purpose of my present solitude?
Key Ideas - Others' approval, unsupportive environment, working alone, arrival of a teacher
Keywords - Protection, exclusion, development
MEDITATION
Imagine an ivory light filtering down and encircling you. In the distance, the Ivory Tower beckons. You reach the castle, and the drawbridge slowly lowers. You enter the castle grounds and come to the tower. At the top of the stairs is a door. Inside is the place of no judgment. You have finally found your way home.
CARD 2
Third Chakra - Solar Plexus Chakra
Facade
The bronze boy, Darnel, was young when his father died, and he became the man of the family. Out for a walk one day many years later, he was mesmerized by the sight of children playing. As a child, he'd never played, and he hid behind a tree, crying bitterly, then quickly buried his emotions. At the very end of his life, on his way to heaven, he stopped at the park and finally reclaimed the inner child he had left behind many years before.
Inspiration - If you are unhappy in your relationships, you may be relating to others through a false sense of duty. Give up being something you're not.

MEDITATION
Imagine yourself as a child, running and taking flight. Veer off to the clouds and find a playground in the sky. Swing, slide, laugh, and if you choose, find another child to play with. Enjoy yourself. While you are there, you will receive a message of some kind. You can ask your child-self if there is anything you need to know.
CARD 3
Fifth Chakra - Throat Chakra
