From Colette Baron-Reids Wisdom of Avalon Oracle
These cards carry the wisdom of our Ancestors
These cards are powerful communication with the Ancestors that carry the Avalon imprint and energies of a very powerful and beautiful time in history. Most of us are connected to this blood line.
Burden: Are you carrying burdens of the past or other peoples burdens that aren't even yours? Have you been going in circles with the same issues or people or struggles? This card asks you to put these burdens down. Sometimes we hold on to things, not even realizing that they are creating an energy vortex that continues to bring in more and more of the same. It's time to let go. Stop trying to make others responsible for their actions. Stop wanting others to change. Stop hoping that your life will change when you keep doing the same things over and over. Start forgiving yourself for being in an experience that caused you pain. Start leaving people alone to do their own thing, and wish them well. Start looking forward, toward your hopes and dreams. Letting go doesn't mean giving up. Letting go means you are no longer going to carry the burdens that have proven to not be good for you. You are allowed to take care of yourself, set boundaries and to be happy.
The Butterfly: And when you let go, when you lay those dusty, crusty, old stinky burdens down, you become the butterfly. Light as air, free as the wind that carries them, and beautifully alive. Close your eyes and imagine being a butterfly. Feel the air carrying you along as you flit from flower to flower. Image what a butterfly sees and she glides along streams of energy that she trusts to always take her to the next wonderful experience. Feel as your heart lifts and smile begins to blossom across your face. Be a butterfly. Every day take time to connect to the beautiful butterfly within you.
Lay those burdens down. Make the choice right now to be a butterfly. Let go. Let yourself be who you really are. Free and beautiful.
Affirm: I AM as free as a butterfly!! I trust in the wisdom of the eternal loving presence that runs in, through and as all things. I choose to let go and be my very best me. I AM Love.
I AM that I AM
