This card, also called Gaia, Mother Earth, represents life and beauty of existence. Earth governs the powers of rejuvenation, unification and nurturing. The is a card that reminds you to take care of yourself first and foremost. When it appears, you are asked to put aside worries, anxieties and fears, and to bask in the natural beauty and healing energies that surround you. We often forget that we are of the earth and that it has the ability to heal and nurture us if we ask, but the daily trials of this physical plane too often absorb our conscious thought. Take the time to do something healing and nurturing for yourself (and others, by association). This will help refresh, renew and re-energize you to approach your daily tasks with a new purpose.

This is considered to be the second symbol in traditional Reiki, given during the second degree (Level II) and viewed as the Mental/Emotional Symbol. Translated, Sei He Ki means roughly “Divine and humanity become one.” It is most often used when there is an emotional release needed or a buildup of emotion in a recipient. Drawing it, imagining it, or chanting it three times can invoke its power. When this symbol appears in your reading, emotional release is being indicated. Have you been bottling your feelings? Is it out of fear or because of pain? The gentle, soothing energy of Sei He Ki tells you that release is okay and that it is there to help guide and let it go if you need help. This emotional release is necessary not only to maintain health and well-being, but also to help you clear and balance the emotional blockage that is attached – whatever the situation may be. Sei He Ki is a gently, guiding hand to help you clear and release.

The Om symbol represents creation, preservation, consciousness and harmony. It is a symbol of peace and a reminder that all things, bad and good, are interconnected. When the Om appears in your reading, it is a reminder that in order for balance and peace to thrive, you must work through the chaos and the disorder that currently surrounds your situation. Are you able to see the so-called light at the end of the tunnel? Have you become so focused on the negative that you cannot see the positive? The Om reminds you that this chaos shall pass but it is necessary in order for there to be order, balance, and most importantly, growth. If chaos is your current situation, turn to the other two aspects, preservation and creation, and you will find what you seek to answer your question.
