HOW TO USE THE CARD SET

Each Art Card has a High Quality Print on the front, and a unique message encoded on it´s backside, so the Cards offer both nourishment for the eye and for the soul. The message on the backside is like a code you have to crack - the answer will be different for everyone. Each Set of Cards has a `CardToMagick´ enclosed in the box, which reflects the theme of the collection, and can be used as a powerful tool for transformation work. The Envelopes are here if you wish to use the Art Cards as Greeting Cards. The Luxury Box can also be used differently.

THE THEME OF THE DEEP DIVERS

`Boldly dive deep into the heart of your humanity and connect all of you´

BOLDLY DIVE DEEP…

Why do we need to dive deep?
The roots of a tree want deep connection. A baby wants deep connection with it’s mother. The human heart wants deep connection. We were born to dive deep. Yet, the societal structures we live in, the family’s we’ve grown up in, the personal circumstances you find yourself in may not be very supportive in connecting deeply. Maybe you were never able to connect on a deep level with your mother/father - not as a baby, and not now, as an adult. Maybe your marriage is not helping either, maybe your workplace is a place of high stress level, speed and demanding superiors, and superficial gossip in the coffee breaks. Or maybe it is a place of low energy, where you sit your time out and deliver without anyone being really interested in you. Those situations aside, what have we learned in school about connecting deeply? For most of us the answer will be: not much. We were mostly not guided to connect deeply with contents, we were supposed to learn by heart and deliver correctly.
Yet, we all strive for deep feelings, don’t we? What are the dreams you have now, what are the dreams you had in the past, what are the feelings you want to feel? Contentment, peace, calm? Fullness, richness, prosperity? Or comfort, safety, belonging? Flow, joy, ease and vibrancy? And of course, above all, we want to feel loved.
And the way we function as human beings is this: we cannot feel these feelings a little bit, or just on a superficial level to gain the output we crave for. Because when we dream of feeling at peace, in our vision peace is floating us, peace is at the center of our hearts, peace is what we feel while waking up in the morning, while having our breakfast, while going on with the day. Mostly it’s not “a little peace“ we dream of. It’s deep peace.
We humans are designed to connect on a deep level. Deep connection creates deep feelings. That’s what makes us feel good, loved, seen, valued. If we can’t have this connection with ourselves or with other humans, we will find it somewhere else: in work, in things, in substances, in achievements,…we call it addiction.

So if you find yourself longing to feel a certain feeling, a lot of times it seems like a phantasy that we can never reach - to finally really feel that way. To feel belonging, when you have always felt like an outsider. To feel safety when you have always been abused by your closest people. To feel held, so that you can let go, when you have never been held by someone in that way. To feel rich and deeply saturated, when you experienced your life as a constant struggle for resources, money and outer safety. To feel beautiful and deeply content with your body, when you have struggled with how it looks and how it makes you feel all your life. All these feelings we long for so deeply can seem so far away, like a phantasy never to be reached. Because in our reality they simply do not exist in us. So, we think, if there’s a chance that we can “have“ them one day, we have to pursue them on the outside. So the logical conclusion is this: the feeling of richness/beauty/safety/belonging... does not exist inside of me, it only exists outside of me. Maybe I will own the feeling one day, when I have enough money on my bank account, when I have been successful enough in my job, when I have fixed my body to perfection, or finally made that inheritance or won the lottery, or…

We all know how to project outwards so well. As little children, in an unperfected family, we had to project outwards. Because it’s not possible for a small child to think: “my parents are simply not able to be there for me in a way, that makes me feel loved and safe. They are flawed.“ As a child, your parents are your gods, and you are completely dependent on them with your life. So you (unconsciously) find other stories why you don’t feel loved. Maybe it’s a story about how you are flawed, and once you behave like the perfect child they will give you the love you long for. Or it is the story of your parents having to work so much to provide for the family, so that they simply don’t have time for you, and once you are completely self-sufficient and don’t need anything from anyone, they don’t have to work so hard anymore and will have time for you and give you the love you long for.

…Which story is yours?

We couldn’t face the fact, that our parents simply were not able to connect with us the way we needed them to. The image of the gods would have been destroyed, our survival wouldn’t have been guaranteed. So we told ourselves explanations, to protect our parents and therefore our survival. And those were always about how we are flawed and have to change, so that our parents might be able to love us one day. As adults, we then happily continue with the projecting: When we reach this…,then we will finally feel loved. When we become like this…, then we will finally feel loved. Bethany Webster, internationally renowned expert on healing “The Mother Wound“ calls this the “impossible dream“. It’s a dream that will never come true for us as adults - as long as we search for it on the outside. Because what we really truly crave for, is in it’s core the feeling of deep connection. A connection we can only find first and foremost in connecting with ourselves. Or else it will never feel deeply satisfying, it will stay a shallow feeling, as it is not deeply connected with our core.
Ask millionaires if they feel rich, safe, saturated and fully abundant. The only ones who will tell you that they really feel that way, are the ones that feel that way with or without money. Most of them will tell you that they are still afraid of falling back into scarcity, and have countless other worries that came with the money.
You see?
That’s why we are designed to dive deep on the inside, because we want to connect deeply with our true values, dreams, hopes, visions, with our true self. Only that will give us the feeling of being loved, valued, seen, rich, at peace, satisfied, successful, safe,… in the end.

…INTO THE HEART OF YOUR HUMANITY

So how can you do this if you have not done it so far?
Start with the intention to dive deep into the heart of your humanity.
What IS the heart of YOUR humanity? What are your core values, your dreams, your hopes, your traumas, your stories, your essence? What makes you feel human? What is burning on your heart? What is giving you a feeling of warmth in your heart? What makes you sad deep in your heart? What makes you rage deep in your heart? What makes you depressed deep in your heart? What brings joy to your heart? What makes you want to connect with other human hearts? Here the quality of boldness is needed. That’s why so many humans shy away from these questions, because they will stir up things…things you maybe don’t want to feel. And that is also the reason why you don’t feel deeply connected to yourself - when you shy away from the uncomfortable feelings that lurk at the center of your heart…everything stays on the surface. There is no depth on the surface…you get it?

So even if this is hard, and you are afraid of it (an amazing teacher of mine always said "you won´t die from that" ):
Set a conscious intention to dive deep into the heart of YOUR humanity. Be brave AND kind to yourself. It’s a process, it’s a path, It’s not a single action that solves everything. But when you consciously create an intention, and start to nourish this intention day by day, the associated qualities will grow inside of you. You will start to feel them - inside of you. But don´t get attached to feeling it, instead stay with the conscious intention and water it every day like a flower. The intention leads you, the feelings are "only" a byproduct. It could be like that:" I have the intention to feel deeply connected with my heart & my humanity" And while this intention and the corresponding feelings grow clearer and bigger, they will manifest in the material world. But at that point you are no longer attached to experiencing these qualities in the material world - outside of you, because you own them - inside of you. And that’s exactly the point in time when it will come to you in the outside as well. When you freed yourself from the pursue of things & feelings outside of you.

…AND CONNECT ALL OF YOU

Consciously set the intention for connection. Connect everything you find on this dive to your self, with your self, in your self. It’s like weaving a net - connect your traumatic experiences back to you - and freedom will be connected to you. Connect your feeling of inferiority back to you (instead of not trying to feel it), and your true value will be connected to you. Connect your deepest, secret desires back to you, and self-authorization will be connected to you… And your true self will come through, step by step, as you remember what you are burning for, what your heart beats for, what you are sad about, what you came to do here, what makes you rage, who you really are. These are your jewels, this is your gold, this is your long lost treasure! Take it, own it, all of it! There is no heaven on earth outside of it, there is no true felt connection outside of it, there is no safety outside of it, and there is no abundance outside of it. It lies there, hidden, at the core of the heart of your humanity.

I wish you every courage and boldness you need to dive deep into the heart of your humanity,
And I wish you so much heaven, fire, anger, soil and pleasure to connect with.

…BECAUSE IT ALL BELONGS TO YOU

THE MESSAGES OF YOUR ART CARDS

The message on the backside is like a code you have to crack -  the answer will be different for everyone. Here are some suggestions for how you can get on track to find your personal solutions:

DIVE DEEP FOR YOUR HEAVEN

If you dare to dream wildly, what is your heaven on earth? Not for the planet, not for humanity…your PERSONAL HEAVEN, what is it?

DIVE DEEP FOR YOUR FIRE

What makes your heart burn like a flame, what turns you on like crazy, what really awakens your passion and makes you feel SO excited? It is also very rewarding to look back to your childhood, your teenage & young adult years, because many of us have clearly felt their fire in those years, and knew exactly what awakend our passion. Dive deep into times in your life where you have already felt it, explore, take out old photos, set out on a search, write down what you find (you can write it inside the card if you want), take it back, it´s yours, no matter how old you are now.

DIVE DEEP FOR YOUR ANGER

What makes you angry, furious, raging with passion? (I had to REALLY dive deep for my anger, I was so “peaceful“, “even-tempered“ and addicted to harmony that this one was a hard one) Be unashamed and censorship-free & write down what you find. Be with the feelings, and don´t take it out on others, but scream it out on your own, dance it out, box your cussions, go for a walk, and be with your anger, it will tell you a lot about your boundaries and how they have been crossed.

DIVE DEEP FOR YOUR SOIL

Where and what are your roots, and which soil do they need to become deeply rooted? What do you need to feel like you´re standing on solid ground? What gives you the feeling of real safety? And if these are things outside of you, where can you find the same qualities inside of you?

DIVE DEEP FOR YOUR PLEASURE

What turns you on, what gives you so much fun and joy and good feelings, what makes you float in a pool of luscious warmth, of wide-awake sensibility and presence in the here and now? Again, look back into your childhood, teenage & young adult years, or times when you were connected with your pleasure and the good feelings it gave you. Become a detective, and start your sleuthing search for signs of real, deeply satisfying pleasure in your life.
