Greetings my Fellow Steemians!

Here I am, sharing with you a complimentary medicine for your soul. Today will be a message from the Original Angel Cards. Thankfully, the entire HF20 episode was fixed in enough time for me to share with you our regular Medicine Card Monday. Yay!

The Importance of Play

Psychology Today brings up some great points in an article The Importance of Play: Having Fun Must be Taken Seriously, we all know how important getting outside or laughing truly is, but here are some facts:

• Recreational deprivation has been linked to criminality, obesity, and declining creativity.
• It is unstructured play, where partners have to negotiate the rules, that is most important for the beneficial effects on the prefrontal cortex.
• Play is a banquet for the brain, a smorgasbord for the senses, providing nourishment for body and spirit: sad then that as a society we seem to be starving ourselves of it.

According to Patrick Bateson, emeritus professor of ethology at the University of Cambridge, “‘play’ as used by biologists and psychologists is a broad term denoting almost any activity that is not ‘serious’ or ‘work.’”

Isn't that the truth? We all need time to step away from work and just have a good time. This week on Steemit, will be one of those weeks. If you were around today, you would have seen how much people had to really do to get things back in order. I'd like to take this moment to thank them all and to make sure to send out the message that after all your hard work today, make sure to get out and play this week. After all, the cards never lie ...

Eagle Spirit'sMedicine Card Reading Initiative

All of my readings are geared towards a healing; breaking through mental, spiritual, or emotional blocks that will assist us in overcoming every day obstacles.

If this is your first time swinging by, my Medicine Card Monday initiative is my positive intention to pull a card of healing or medicine for the community. This is different than tarot in that the cards I use are on the medicinal aspect of humanity other than the most common cards found in a tarot deck.

The decks I use are The Wild Unknown - Animal Spirit, Mystical Shaman Oracle, and the Chakra Wisdom Oracle. The cards will assist in helping those interested, find comfort in things going on in our community and the world we are now dealing with. Namely, issues around the world, astronomical, or overcoming health issues of all sorts, etc., maybe just something out of balance that we are feeling on any particular day that needs guidance.

By pulling a card for Steemit this will in turn assist with my Medicine training, give back to the community, and help those seeking answers. I will take some of the reading from guidebooks provided with the cards, but primarily give intuitive and medicinal words to help our community. We all have days when we need encouragement, inspiration, and comfort.

The Card - Play

Meaning

Maximize every moment of liveness. Experience pleasurable involvement in all your activities and enjoy what you are doing. Have Fun!

The Message

Be Mindful, Play!

Play is at the heart of our creativity and animates our being in our most carefree moments. It helps us live with absurdity, paradox, and mystery. It feeds our joy and wonder. It keeps our search for meaning down to earth.

There is so much going on in the world, and within us, that our stress levels have adjusted upwards to a new 'normal' creating a hidden epidemic of fun deficit disorder (FDD). Play is an antidote to stress. Either can totally absorb your attention and cause a cascade of feelings that greatly impact your happiness quotient.

Play engages us with the imaginable realm and supports and enriches our metabolization of life. It is integral for generating insights and effortless realizations. Play literally gives us a 'breather' – restoring our vitality at a core level.

This month find a fun activity that totally captivates your attention to the point where time seems to slow or even stop, and the voice inside -- the one giving constant commentary on what you’re doing, have done, or will be doing -- ceases. Laugh heartily at jokes, situations, and yourself.

Since many of us on Steemit love to play and we are on Discord laughing and joking all the time, if you are not a part of a nice group of people or have not yet found your tribe, now is the time to find them.

Do not hesitate to bond with likeminded people and just have fun. There are those around who are just here for the money that you can banter with, but many are here for the community. Wander through groups and find that one group that pulls your heart string, there are plenty of people to choose from that will make your days brighter by just engaging with them.

Greetings,

Thank you for stopping by to read my blog. I’m a Certified Indian Blood member of the Hopi & Apache Native American tribes, Reiki Master-Teacher, Medicine woman in-training, paralegal, researcher, and writer based in the mountains of Colorado, USA. I work closely with fellow planktons and minnows in a few groups by helping them adjust to Steemit and curate quality content. I’m especially interested in finding others who love natural medicine originating from ancient practices, gold and silver, and energy work. Additionally, I'm the creator of #MedicineCardMonday and #FreedomFriday, so if you are interested in receiving Native American Medicine stop by my blog every Monday to say hello!

A'OO, Eagle Spirit
