Wisdom

2011-10-10T21:21:00.000-07:00

I am the wise one... I am wisdom, personified.
I stand here knowing that you have the key.
I am the one who knows you must walk through the doorway...through NEW doorways.
I am one who knows you are strong, and vibrant and a being of influence.
I am one who challenges you to stand and walk through new doorways ... to move forward; by doing so you teach others to do the same.
I am one who knows your power, and charge you with using it...you MUST use it...our world needs it...YOU need it. Your power... is love.

Awakening

2011-10-10T21:15:00.000-07:00

"Awakening" - republished from 2008

6/25/08 - This card has been a close companion over the last week or so, and today for the first time I noticed that the hand on her temple...looked as if it was a separate hand...the hand of an "other". (In the original image, the hand is that of the woman's.) This new vision blew me away...for what an empowering and encouraging image that is for me...to see the Great Giving Hand bestowing blessings, healings and new insights to me. This opens me even more to receiving. It's like a new light has gone on inside of me...and even though she still appears to be sleeping...growth and healing are taking place like never before. And when the time is right, she will go from "Awakening" to the "Awakened One" (a new card to create). What an important, encouraging and exciting message for me. I just love the SoulCollage process.

The hand says: I am the one who awakens you from your sleep…lays hands upon you and heals your pain… I am the one who dissolves what needs to be dissolved. I give you the power of remembrance that you are already healed…I give you remembrance of your authentic power. I give you blessings…the blessing of knowing your innate self is whole, and complete right now. I give you the remembrance of that Divine Energy Pattern…the perfect blueprint is already within you...awaiting your full recognition and acceptance. It is patient and will allow you to clear away any brush and debri that inhibits your recognition. Know though...it is already done. My healing hand is upon you always…my energy is always blessing you, directing you, and it…guiding you into more Light. I am the one who heals and rules with the Universal power and I open you to receive the same.

6/19/08 - The woman says: I am the part of you who is awakening....awakening to transformation...to new life...new visions, a tranformational way of communicating with myself and my sisters and brothers of the planet. I am wider-awake now...to my soul-visions. I am awakened to my wholeness. I embrace and say yes to the new life that is being offered to me. I trust in the dreams of my heart and soul. I nurture and hatch the ideas and plans and passions that have been incubating within. I allow authentic communication to flow...to myself from myself...and from myself to others, and this this transforms my experience of living...new visions, wholeness, health, wealth. I am awakening to a greater vision for life...and my life...of wholeness, health, wealth in all areas.
.
I want you to continue your journey, listening to your heart and soul. Be patient. Give yourself what you need. Make your "self" and your needs a priority...your health, your care, your well-being, your environment inside and out....and all else will be added unto you. I want you to be faithful to your self...and your Self. (This is from the voice of the woman)

Sweet Ike

2008-06-09T20:43:00.007-07:00

My daughter, Kamaria and I adopted Ike into our family in the summer of 1999. Before the three of us discovered each other, Kamaria and I were browsing the animal shelter to see who we would gravitate to.
.
We stopped in the kitten room, I stooped to pet one, and I must've looked like a jungle gym to them! They were all over me! Before I knew it one was climbing up the back of my skirt (from the inside!)...one lept onto my back and was racing to my head (ouch! those sharp claws) then another one sprang onto me from out of nowhere! OMG!! I realized that was too much energy, we needed a mellow cat.
.
As we walked out of the kitten room, Ike was sitting right there...eye level on his litte carpeted kitty-kat patio -I saw him, he saw me...and he said "meow!"... "Oooo, you talk" I said...and the rest is history! Kamaria and I both fell in love with Ike...and he's still talking!! Boy does he talk...in different tones i.e. a questioning meow, or a whining, nagging meow...and he's quite conversational, at length!...and he purs up a storm, you can hear him from across the room! I love it! and we love our Ike!
.
Through this SoulCollage card, Ike says to me...
I am your furry companion. I am one who knows it's perfectly fine to be me...no apologies required! I am the one you give love and attention to, but not enough for me. I always want more of you...on my terms, and I know my terms are just fine. I know how to tell you what I want. I am one who speaks my voice, consistently. I know how to get my way. I am the one who's persistent and patient, sometimes. I am the persistent one...you can learn a lot from me. I am the one who loves you so much I want all of your attention. I am the one who turns on a dime from purring to biting...and you love me anyway.
.
I want you to give me more of your undivided attention. I want you to realize that that time is tender and sacred and relaxing. I want you to want to give me more affection. I want you to soak up my love and do nothing else but cater to my desires.
.
Through me you see that it feels good to be at peace with (and in) your body...jiggles and all. I give you overflowing love and affection. I give you love and companionship you can count on. I give you an example of authenticity. I give you permission to take as many naps as you need. I want you to know I love you and love being with you. I miss you when you're not here. I'm glad when you come home and sometimes get mad when you leave out again so quickly. I am one who likes being around you.

The Yoga of Knitting

2008-03-17T21:11:00.009-07:00

I am the part of you who loves to create with yarn. I love the beautiful colors and textures....and weaving straw into gold. I am the one who likes to knit for charitable causes, and for friends and family and myself. I am the one who is soothed seeing hand made items in my enviroment.

I am the one who's in conscious meditation while knitting. I love hearing the click of the needles as I knit. I am one who's heart purrs in the meditation of knitting. I am the one who experiences the yoga of knitting... it's my Lighthouse.

I give your rest, relaxation...peace; and the satisfaction of creating beauty with colorful yarns and pleasing textures. I put you in touch with the joy of creating meditatively.

I want you to let me have my way more often...and do what I love so much. I want you to share with others the yoga of knitting. I want you to know that in doing so you will be giving to yourself beyond measure.

You will remember by keeping this card in view; by keeping your knitting needles and yarn stash nearby; by pulling out your knitting magazines, by remembering how good it feels to knit for charity...and by just letting my love of knitting...your love of knitting...run free. ~ Just let me knit Cheryl.

Inner-journaler

2008-03-02T08:43:00.014-08:00

Each Soul-
Collage® card represents the Essence of an inner-facet of our multi-jeweled self. Below is my conversation with this "part" of me:

Who are you? - I am the part of you that feels centered and balanced when I write. I am the one who is exhilarated and enlightened at what comes through your writing. I am both the writer and the one who benefits from it. Writing is the way you listen to me...listen to yourself. Writing is the way you discover what you're thinking and feeling...long before it comes to your conscious mind. I am the part of you that knows journaling provides the yin and yang of knowlege, self-knowlege and revelation.
.
* I want you to spend more time with me. Let me express more often and more consistently. I want you to ritualize my writing time so it's free from distraction, and calming to the mind and soul. Do a few minutes of relaxed breathing and meditation before-hand; and then let me take center stage of your being. I promise you, the gift you receive from this will far exceed what you can imagine. The gift is... giving this time to yourself freely and regularly; making it a ritual. I want you to create a beautiful space for me to write. It need not be elaborate. Surround it with items that are meaningful to us. This way you will look forward to keeping your daily date with me. You'll see...it'll be worth it.
.
* I want you to keep my card on your altar, to remind you of the beauty and healing of journaling; and to remind you that I am here and need to be heard. This is how you will remember me, and invite more illumination into your being. This is by far the biggest gift for both of us. I love you. Remember me.

The Captain

2007-12-30T14:34:00.001-08:00

The Essence of this card tells me...

I am the Captain of your Ship...the Guardian of your Soul.

I am the Pearl......and the Mother of it.

I am the Rain.....and the Rainbow.

I stand at the helm...

I am the part of you that takes the High Watch; I see the Pearls and Rainbows long before you can.

I am all that you represent. I am the Captain of your Ship...the Guardian of your Soul. Remember me.

("SoulCollage®....a quest to intimately know your "self"; not to fix...but to reveal...and know...and grow.")

Anne Marie Bennett (Suit: Community)

2007-05-17T22:18:00.001-07:00

This Community Card from my SoulCollage® deck honors my dear friend Anne Marie, SoulCollage® Facilitator and creator of KaleidoSoul - a virtual online university and playground for SoulCollage®. Anne Marie was trained in the art of SoulCollage® by it's creator, the luminescent Seena Frost. Also, Anne Marie originated and moderates the very lively, informative and kindred on-line KaleidoSoul Yahoo Group, which is a great place to become better acquainted with this creative, intuitive-collage process of self-discovery. Here, you can be as active as you want...or a fly on the wall, your choice. Either way it's bound to be an enriching experience...so I invite you to check it out.

Regarding my Community Cards, I am blessed that I have so many teachers in my life that show up as: family, friends, angels, teachers, pets, online friends - thank Goodness for the world wide web!...as well as challengers in my life, past and present. They all provide a rich medium from which I can learn and grow spiritually. In time I'll create more cards for my Community members and feature them...so please stay tuned, you might just look up and see yourself here!

Anne Marie's message to me...from the essence of her card says...

I am one who is an earth angel...and I graciously wear my butterfly angel wings. I give of my heart and soul in all that I do. I am one who loves rainbows and believes in the pot of gold at the end..for myself, and others. I am one who see the rainbows in many aspects of life, of people and in situations. I am one who knows rainbows come after a storm.
.
I am one who greatly appreciates and marvels in the diversity of humanity. I am one who sees the kaleidoscope of beauty in our souls. I am generous. I share my creative passions freely and nurture them in others. I am one who is compassionate and understanding. I am one who invites you to "retreat". My resonance with SoulCollage® makes my heart sing....it is my soul food. I am the one who has a bond with nature; I share a loving, forever-bond with my beloved cat, Scooter...still. I am the one who knows he is with me always, and that I can visit with him whenever I want. I am the one who smiles as I journey with childlike wonder...innocently and freely toward my rainbow.
.
I want you to accept at your own pace, my invitation...to discover more about yourself through SoulCollage®... card-making, interpretations, readings...and sharing. I want you to rejoice in the resources that are offered...for your soul's growth. I want you to share your journey with us.
.
I give you my heart's resources...another way of discovering your precious inner-beauty...through my giving, my sharing. I give you hope, inspiration and encouragement. I give you the benefit of the stories of my experiences. I give you a place to share your SoulCollage® journey with others, and myself, worldwide. I give you reminders of the loving, powerful gift of Seena's SoulCollage® process. You will remember when you see or think of rainbows, kaleidoscopes, SoulCollage®, retreats...and nature. -- I give you abundant blessings along your journey.

My Intuition

2007-02-13T18:39:00.000-08:00

I am one who knows before you know.

I am one you can count on. I am your gut instinct, facts don't matter to me.

I am the one who tells you your truth, and dances in delight of it! ~ I am the feeling in your heart and deep in your bones that you cannot let go of.

I am your guide in the darkness and the light. I am the one who celebrates when you listen to me!

I want you to continue heeding my call, and trusting what I communicate to you. ~ I bring you messages from your deepest self.

Whenever my voice is faint, seek quietness until you once again sense our union. I want you to know you can ask me anything, and I will answer.

I give you everlasting reliability. Remember I am always here. I give you insight, and peace. I give you your most unequivocal self.

Becoming the Butterfly

2006-11-26T18:04:00.000-08:00

I am one who willingly "lets go" of... and sheds what I no longer need...and what no longer serves me. I am one who courageously walks the path of my transformation and change.
* * * *
I am the one who bids my beloved and faithful catipillar a loving "thank you" for nurturing my Butterfly-self. I put my fingers to my lips and blow it a kiss...bidding it a long, yet dark, goodnight... for it has fulfilled it's destiny. I am the one who welcomes the beauty and freedom of being my Butterfly-self.
* * * *
I am the one who excitedly says "yes" to change...and the promise of new beginnings!
* * * *
Change is good. Without change we would never experience what I feel is one of the most beautiful symbols of life: flowers, (and all vegetation for that matter). If flowers never "changed" from the delicate bud to the voluptuous bloom--and all the stages in between--we might not ever know the beauty, the memorable fragrance of..let's say... the rose or the soft, suppleness of it's petals...or the prick of its thorns...which to me, are prompts for us to pay attention. Ahh yes...although often challenging, agreeing with change and meeting it with courage, confidence, trust and the support of loving ones in our lives... saying yes to change is saying yes to our growth...and life.
* * * *
Lastly, according to the book, SoulCollage, this could be called the Death card -- death meaning transformation, change. I call it "Becoming the Butterfly"... a renaissance of mySelf. I now declare my heartfelt "yes" and my "willingness" to walk into change, one step at a time, one breath at a time. When I do this... in my mind this tells the Universe my deepest intentions, and they then enter into this Cosmic Easy-Bake Oven to stir things up...to manifest my highest good. And...just like when I was a little girl, I couldn't wait to see what came out of my E-Z Bake oven...I now wait with a smiling heart, and patience to see the good that is in store.
Today, I welcome my Butterfly-self!

I am so Thankful

2006-11-26T17:56:00.000-08:00

I am the one who is so thankful.

I am the one who has gratitude pulsing through her entire being.

I am the one who knows that thankfulness...is it's own reward, and greatest blessing.

Tree of Abundant Manifestation

2006-05-16T21:39:00.000-07:00

I am your love made visible: the bountiful, colorful, textured, fragrant... ripe & delicious fruits of your labor.

I am the one who lives to give...to soak up your heart's fire & transform it into the brilliant shapes, colors and substance of your every True desire.

I am the one who nurtures your journey...beckoning you to prepare & tend the soil of your consciousness...while in planting season.

I am your tree of abundant manifestation, and I delight in being heavy-laden with the harvest of your life's passions and purpose.

I am the one who reminds you of your inborn power, given to you by the Creator, to co-create and manifest your heart's & soul's desires. I am the one who shows you infinite possibilities, and varieties of manifestation.

What do you want from me?
I want you to feed me the love & sunshine of your belief in my purpose, and serenade me your heart's convictions. I want you to keep me thriving with the radiant energy of your "happy-expectancy" of beautifuly-imagined outcomes in "your" Perfect season.

How will I remember?
You will remember each time you see the Earth's statuesque, graceful, and giving trees; and each time you witness every flower sprout, bud, and bloom...for your dreams are also expanding and growing stronger and coming-into-form right before your eyes!

I am your Tree of Abundance, the one who knows the Fruits of Your Labor will not only abundantly bless you, but countless fellow-travelers as well.

"Planting Seeds of Intention"

2006-05-16T21:31:00.001-07:00

I am your Essence, your spiritual power. I am the one who plants Seeds of Intention in the Womb of the Universe...positively expecting an abundant yield of what I've sown.
* * *
I am the one who nurtures the Seeds with heartfelt belief, happy expectancy, and "heartfelt rehearsal of receiving my good"-- manifested!
* * *
I am the one one who is thankful for the awareness of the power I have assist in creating my good! * * * I am the one who releases my intentions, believing that the best possible outcome will occur...and that it can be even better than I imagine! I am the one who looks past physical appearances...to the metaphysical, and knows that "It's all good."
