3. Bushels of apples

Healing, well-being, self-knowledge

Invite your truth forward and invoke the power of healing, growth and the true essence of who you are.

They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away, and that's what self-knowledge does for your spirit. Being aware of your strengths, weaknesses, desires, dislikes and any other valuable piece of self-awareness combined with a commitment to your holistic well-being, including your mind, body, heart and soul, result in the perfect conditions for spiritual nourishment.

You're receiving this card as your guidance to take a deeper dive into what makes you you. Each piece of information you collect moves you closer to expressing yourself in the most authentic way possible. This is true healing: accepting yourself for exactly who you are while also taking steps to become the person you wish to be. Healing is less about overcoming or moving on and more about embracing, allowing and celebrating the ridges and curves of your being. No two apples are the same: there are sweet ones and sour ones, big ones and crabs, green, yellow, red and mixed. You don't judge an apple for being different from the others so why should you judge yourself for the same?

If you have been struggling to move forward in any way, whether that's in a relationship, goal, having more time or freedom or any other manifestation of your deepest desires, pulling this card is your encouragement to allow more of yourself to show. You won't find what you're looking for by denying yourself, because it's your uniqueness that will allow the bruises to heal.

This short meditation can help bring your truth forward. Take a few moments to sit in stillness and become mindful of your breath. As you breathe, notice how each breath brings with it an opportunity for transformation. Feel the energy of each inhalation fill your body and set the intention to receive all that is true for you. On the exhalation, let go of all that no longer serves you. With each breath, trust and know that the truth within you is being revealed. As you continue to breathe deeply, allow yourself to open up to what comes through without judgment or expectation. When complete, feel free to pause in stillness for a few moments before getting back into your day. May this short meditation bring forth your truth and guide you on your journey.
