Swallowing a Copper Sun
December 27, 2007
By Dove, www.TarotwithLove.com I had the coolest vision yesterday. The first one I’ve had in a while — I tend to resist meditating, but when I can get myself to do it, I get so much from it. Yesterday, while meditating, I asked a question about my health, how to improve it in a specific area. And I was amazed that I immediately saw something in my mind’s eye.
The image was all soft and dark — shades of gray, charcoal gray, black…but it was calming and sweet. There was a deep-orange-colored ball sitting on I guess what was the horizon, like one of those gorgeous sunsets in the late, just almost dark, evening. A silhouette of a person reached out from the right side of this vision, and gently scooped up this orange ball into both of her hands. She lifted it up to her mouth, still with both hands, put it slowly into her mouth and swallowed it. It was a beautiful vision, and I was so grateful for it.
And so I then pondered about what might be the meaning. I had asked a health question, and I’d been told in the distant past, both by an alternative practitioner as well as from my own intuition, that I needed to get more sun. But it’s also interesting that the sun was this dark orange color.
And then I came upon a post in my blog roll this morning – I love his/her elaborations on symbolism and all. When I came upon this recent blog (posted about an hour before I came upon it), it very much intrigued me, very synchronous to my vision yesterday… The post was about the symbolism of the penny, a correlation with the sun. But also, the copper. The color of my vision’s sun could very much be considered “copper.” While organizing recently, I came upon a copper bracelet, with some lovely Native American designs on it, that I had purchased years ago. I popped it on my wrist, and have been wearing it a lot lately. Some believe we can absorb copper from the metal in this way. So I thought it might be a good thing in case I’m lacking in copper : ) — I have noticed that it has faintly turned my wrist green at times. I’ve read that might be an indication of a need for copper.
So my sweet vision may have been confirming my continued need for more sun (and Vitamin D) as well as copper all in the same message. And also a need to align with the message of the Magician, the number 1 card in the Tarot, which the above-mentioned blog seems to be describing with her penny symbolism post. AND, the sun can also represent that Higher Power within us — and an ongoing effort to get and stay connected with that is most assuredly one of the best things we can do to improve our health and our lives.
It’s wonderful how one vision, one message, can hold so much meaning : )
Namaste,
Dove

Thanks tobeme :-)
On that “visions” note, I can’t help but plug another of my posts, about an episode of “According to Jim” that cracked me up. The funniest part was around a, um, “vision.” I don’t know if it works as well for those who didn’t see that show, but every time I read it, it gives me a good healthy laugh — I laugh til my eyes water every time. So it’s kinda handy when I need one ;)
