Emma Byers: natural experience 1


     Having no religion growing up has left me confused in my recent years of life. I never had any kind of problems with not having a religion because I never thought about it. I never talked about it with anyone because none of my friends ever talked about it and if they did, they shoved the information down my throat and I would just block all of the talk out. After taking this class my perspective on God and religion has flipped. I am now left trying to find out what I believe in this world and if I myself will one day have an experience in which I will find complete inner peace and I will just know.
     My resident Leyla and I talked about it and she decided to read my terra cards and identify my guiding spirit animals to see what I needed to do in order to put my life back in balance. The lights in the room were dim and a feeling of anticipation filler the air. She placed the cards in front of me and told me to place my hand on the deck and place all of my life energy into the cards. I placed my hand on the cards and closed my eyes. In those brief 5 seconds a force I had never felt before came over me as I breathed in deeply and felt my body’s energy build up within my chest and flow through my arm into my fingertips. She spead the cards out and told me to pick the 9 I felt were right. I pulled the 9 and placed them around me in a half circle and waited for her instructions. One by one I flipped my cards and one after told me of the troubles in my life. 4 of my guiding spirit animals had been flipped upside down and described a spiritual journey and reflection of my life was needed in order to put things back into balance. When the reading was done, I was only left with an even stronger wanting of belonging and a desire to find my place of peace.
