Meaning

A restful pause is a simple task that calls out when you are in the process of birthing something big, or when new endeavors are in motion. It comes to you as more than a need for introspection or quiet contemplation. It is a meditative space where you must cut out the noise of everything around you.

Meaning Continued

This card shares the fertile void in which you seed new possibilities into form, when you must do nothing in order to make room for your next steps. It is the quiet refuge where you do not go forwards, or backwards. Here, there is no such thing as time. There is no past, or future. Only this present moment, where you may rest at the nexus point of spirit.

Meaning Continued

If you are in a situation where you feel like you must make a choice about something but you cannot come to a solution, use this as an opportunity to take a step back to recalibrate your thoughts and energy. A restful pause is needed to help reorient yourself at this time.

Meaning Continued

You are sitting at the helm of many different futures. You may see these invisibly unfolding ahead of you, waiting to be written. Perhaps these scenarios populate your thoughts, and take up space in your mind. You may feel the past leaning into your current sphere, pressuring you to make a move. This card is inviting you to ignore the imaginary scenarios and the ruminations of what you should be doing next. It wants you to ignore the past as well. Take a moment and feel the present moment. Take in the details of your current surroundings. Feel the air on your skin, and the inhalation and exhalation of each breath. Use this simple pause, no matter where you are at this time, as the chamber where you meet your spirit. Feel your energetic umbilical cord connecting you with your Higher Self. Whenever you need to re-centre yourself, remember the present space you are in. Breathe into it. Here, time does not exist.
