For those of you who started reading this site recently, I used to post these Power Cards with some regularity. I would suggest checking some out in the archives if you like this. I hope to have more in the near future.

This is the beginning, where it all starts. It is a card of the empty vessel ready to be filled with the knowledge of what is and what will always be. It is where we need to start and where we need to return often to recharge the batteries of our souls. For this is the card of now, the present and there is no wishing for things to change or longing for what was. This is the card of is. Om is the sound from which the Universe emanated and Om is a good place to start for this card. We have often seen the mock of the guru, sitting in the lotus position chanting, “Ooooooooooommmmmmmmm, oooooooooooommmmmm,” but have you ever really tried it? Feeling that vibration touch every nerve and fiber of your being? Give yourself this opportunity. Sit quietly and begin breathing. Focus on the in and out of the breath. As anything threatens to interrupt, just go back to the breath, the elixir of life. When you are feeling ready and relaxed, take in a deep breath and release it with and Om. You will feel something that vibrates through all of your Chakras, it should start at your tailbone and rise up through your core. If you can focus hard enough, you will feel a divine connection between your seventh or crown Chakra and the Divine.

The Divine Fool is the eternal optimist, for he knows no other way. He does not enter a situation with preconceived notions. He enters it with innocence, for he as forgotten whatever the past has brought him and he cares not for what the future may hold. He looks at today, this moment, as a shiny, precious object to be explored and admired. When life feels hopeless, when we have lost our purpose, we need to find our inner fool; for he only seems foolish to the outside world, the world that has lost its way and purpose.If you think about all the great teachers and avatars who have been divinely brought to this world to guide us, they are often viewed by those who have lost their way as fools. Their teachings all lead us back to this place of simple introspection and they are derided, ignored and occasionally destroyed by the outside world that thinks itself so evolved. It is all illusion, this feeling of control. We only gain peace and enlightenment when we give up control. The Divine Fool would never think of trying to control anything. Divine Fool hands you his shiny object and says, “Here. This is yours. I have many more.” It is your plaything, this life, this precious day. Do not ignore the gift of the fool. To do so is to take the path of pain and belief that this illusion we call reality is real, not trickery.

After you’ve become proficient with your Oms, envision your inner Fool with both the red light of the first Chakra and the violet or white light of the seventh Chakra for he is ending and beginning. Imagine them swirling around. Imagine him beginning in your red root Chakra and happily dancing upward, through all of your Chakras renewing them, setting them spinning correctly as he moves upward. He will move, restoring great happiness, peace and contentment with his dance of life. When he reaches your crown Chakra he will reach for the stars and divinely connect you and you will become aware again of your root or first Chakra, for this is the center of the Universe. You ARE the center of the Universe, a being of divine light and love. You are connected to all, there is no ending, no beginning. There just is.

Consider the two meditations in the paragraphs above as your way of connecting to the Divine Fool. Consider the following affirmation:

I love. I am. I am all things. I am connected to the Divine at all times. Om.

Love,
Nyx
