Nourishing the Blood

The vitality of the feathers in the image shows how our inner health governs our outer body, and our blood, like the sea, is in a constant state of motion. But as a tree nourishes itself by drawing on the vitality deep within the earth, this card tells us to focus on nourishing our physical well being because we can not only choose to have health and vitality but also reprogram our cells through physical care. On an outer or upper level, this card represents Orion’s Gate in the heavens, and the eye is a portal through which the light is dispensed to humanity and one of many routes to the creative force. You can call on or meditate on this element for guidance, as it directly links to the blood and DNA.

Heart Practice: What is your relationship with your blood? Is it being nourished? How vital do you look on the outside and feel on the inside, and is there a disconnect? What do you need to bring more balance to your life force? Take three minutes at noon when the sun is at its zenith to close your eyes, feel into nature and quietly asak what it needs. Trust the feeling you get in response.
