CARD 2
THINKING OF YOU
A loving thought, Serendipity
This card is confirmation that someone you have been thinking of is also thinking of you. It may be someone who has passed away or a living friend, family member or loved one. Our thoughts and feelings are energy frequencies or wave lengths that transcend space and time. We all transmit and receive information through our thoughts and feelings. It makes no difference whether someone is near or far, alive or has passed away; we are subconsciously in constant communication with those we think about and love. Having heard this, you probably imagine your thoughts travelling through space and time. However, in actuality nothing really travels anywhere. This is because energetically, or spiritually, there is no separation in the first place. We are all interconnected and ultimately one, eternally held within
an ocean of divine love. The great cosmic ocean of life is as vast and endless as we can imagine it to be, and at the same time it can be smaller than the smallest particle.

All love lives forever in my heart
I am one with all of humaity
I am one with all creation
I am in constant communion with everyone
Time and space are real only when I believe they are

It may be helpful to keep a diary in which you note your thoughts and feelings, what is it that triggers these thoughts and feelings; what is it that triggers these thoughts and feelings? Journal writing will also hep provided that the journal is for your eyes only.

Commit to this reflective journey, be disciplined in your approach and you will never look back. The rewards will be greater than you ever imagined.
