Almost Daily One-up, Vernal Equinox 2013


There is great inspiration to be found in listening to others. We can only truly listen, however, to the degree that we are truly relaxed: each of our subtle tensions marks a place that cannot absorb, cannot be impressed. Take a moment for yourself: quiet the breathing, then follow its natural rhythm; when thoughts arise, gently return the attention to the breath; then quietly sense the body one part at a time – face, neck, limbs, and so on – and as you find tensions, simply release them. The quieter we are, the more we hear.

Casting notes. The keycenter of C# ascending indicates energy moving from the Root to the Sacral Chakra: groundedness/survival/fight or flight evolving upward into creative response. The scalepoint of ra descending coupled with the Listening card indicates deep listening as a source of vitality.

Musical notes. In the context of an ascending C# major scale, a D sounds: a dissonance that wants to fall downward a half-step and back in tune.
