POP celebrates life with a touch of glamour and fun! It throws the spot on the sparkling energies inside yourself, and encourages you to open up towards those shiny qualities and be the star of your own life!

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. Here you find more details and in-depth-descriptions about the many ways you can use the Set, and how to work with it to dive deeper, if you wish to do so.


THE `Art Cards´ CAN BE USED:

THE THEME OF `POP´

`LUSCIOUSLY CELEBRATE the STAR inside you & let your GLAMOUR POP´

LUSCIOUSLY CELEBRATE...

Maybe you are a person that knows how to party wildly. Or maybe you are someone, who doesn’t like to party at all. And maybe you are somewhere in between. What is “partying“, or “celebrating“ to you? Because, in it’s essence, it is an inherently sound and important feature of us human beings. It is because we are born for connection, that we want to celebrate these connections. Whether it’s the connection between people, or between people and nature, we want to celebrate it with our numerous and divers ways of celebration. We also are creators and want to celebrate our creations.
The things we celebrate and how we celebrate, reveal a piece of who we are, of what we value and believe in.
Picture a scenario where you are part of a celebration, that you really enjoy deeply. Where is it? Who is there with you? What are you doing? What is the general mood? How does it make you feel? Be really bold, visualize your absolute dream-celebration, which can be everything. Maybe it’s being in a trance-state dancing with a massive crowd under the stars…maybe it’s a lush feast that expands over hours, in a village in Provence, with live-music, some dancing and singing in between the courses…maybe a very small gathering of dear people, quietly sitting together, talking or playing games… whatever it is, it must be YOURS. When you have it, find the essence of it. If it is the dancing in trance with a crowd, what is the feeling that so turns you on? Is it maybe the feeling of deep connection, being in a flow, experiencing yourself exalted and without any limits, …Find three words that describe the qualities you love the most in celebrations. They should make your heart warm and overflowing. That’s your connection to your true self. That’s who your are and how you want to celebrate. Now put the word “luscious/ly“ bevor it. So it´s not only about “connection“, its about “luscious connection“, it´s also about “luscious fun“ or “luscious dancing". And "luscious" can mean something completely different for everyone. In it´s essence, it probably means something like  "full of delicious bliss", "sensual lushness", "delicious opulence, richness, lavishness...." AAAAAH! Isn´t this already like a wellness-treat for your soul, to read such words, and allow yourself to really feel them? (We have been conditioned over many hundreds of years to feel these qualities only with a guilty conscience... but that is another chapter.)

So, back to partying: you want to be deeply, lusciously, deliciously ...(fill in your words) immersed in your festivities, immersed in the pleasure, the fun, the joy, the freedom, the love, the connection, the rhythm, the dance, the play, the silence, the solitude, the music, whatever it is! Because that’s another thing that makes us human: we want to be immersed deeply into something, we want to be dedicated fully to something, and we want to surrender to something that is bigger than us. And we were born to experience lust and sensuality and delicious bliss!

THE STAR INSIDE YOU

With the above in mind, now take the qualities you found out, and make it an conscious intention to celebrate yourself like that, daily. It is not about the actual celebration you visualized, it is of course about the qualities and about owning them. Make it a commitment to yourself, to make your life full of the flavors and colors and experiences that are expressed in your favorite celebration-qualities.
On an even deeper level, make your life a delicious, luscious, opulent, lush, juicy and mouth-watering celebration of your truest self.
Soak in the treasures that are your gifts, savor the burst of flavors of your originality, take pleasure in your quirks, cheer your too-muchness, celebrate your weirdness and toast to your eccentricities. Your being fully human, with all your glory and your wounds, your light and your dark and everything in between, your brokenness and traumas, your unique qualities, everything that you are, that is what makes you a star. You are a star. Be the star of your universe.
And don´t you ever be afraid of taking too much room, of feeding your ego, of becoming an egocentric through practicing the celebration of your true self. Because being in touch with your true self excludes being egocentric. It actually is the cure to being cut off and circling around your ego, which, by the way, is also a part of you that belongs to you. Being in touch with your true self, surrendering to your true self, lovingly celebrating your true self is absolutely divine, sound and good. It opens your heart, it creates connection, it creates self-knowledge. It celebrates the goodness of your true self, it celebrates the goodness of your humanity, and raises the vibration in the collective field. And that is the contrary to being ego-manic. It brings purely good vibes into your surrounding, into your relationships, and into the world. Celebration the star inside you will get you a taste of your souvereignty.

AND LET YOUR GLAMOUR POP

I have another question for you: what is “glamour“ to YOU?
Maybe you are the born queen-deluxe and you can jump right into the field of “glamour“, the vision of glitter, sophistication, red nails and lips, the luxury of a high-end appearance and the excitement around it´s magic, it´s light, it´s enchantment just raises your vibration!
Or maybe you find the term “glamour“ just repellent, as you correlate it with shallowness, decadence and selling your soul. Then this could be of even more interest to you:  If you look for antonyms to the word “glamour“, you will find these: boredom, disinterest, repulsion, to name a few. Now find your antonyms to these antonyms, and you have your own definition of glamour. In this case the antonyms could be fun, interest & attraction. So how do these qualities feel for you? Play with it, and find the pure core of “glamour“, that feels really good to you.
Some examples are: beauty, charisma, magic, attraction, fascination, magnetism, festivity, ravishment, enchantment, glittery light, allurement, star quality, animal magnetism,…I personally just want to dive into these qualities!
So, last task:
Choose your favorite words/qualities that relate to “glamour“, and ask yourself:
What makes me feel that way? What makes me feel excited, magnetic, attractive & attracted, beautiful, glittery and shiny,…? It´s so much fun playing with these words, finding out more about your true self and what you really love.
When you’ve found your answers, make it a conscious intention to „pop your …“.

Doing this will most certainly stir up some uncomfortable feelings. There will be doubts, as to wheter you deserve this, wheter it is right to celbrate oneself, and this doubts will be accompanied by feelings of shame, self-inferiority, insecurity,...We all learned to play small and to hide our light under a bushel. We also learned that we humans are flawed and give no reason to celebration. Two things are important here: that you find a way to embrace those feelings, not wish them away, but find a way to connect with them, as they give you very important insights into your true self, into your wounds and your darkness, and they also belong to you! And then, celebrate yourself anyway! Because this also belongs to you! Because you are inherently good, you are worthy and you deserve unconditional love!
Pop the corks of your magic, your glitter, your charisma, your star qualities!
You are amazing, and this all belongs to you!

THE MESSAGES OF YOUR ART CARDS

Every card has a message on the back. Here are some suggestions on how you can reflect on them.

POP YOUR BLESSINGS

Celebrate YOUR blessings! The gifts you have brought with you into this life, the gifts that you received so far, the gifts that you take for granted everyday. We do that so often, to take them for granted. And instead of owning our health, or the beautiful place we live in, or the loving relationships in our life, we tend to only see what we are missing in our lives. So, owning your BLESSINGS is an integral part of building the foundation for manifesting your bright future.
Celebrate your gratitude, and pop the cork of your blessings!

POP YOUR FUN

What brings you fun? Which situations, people, animals, ideas, places …make you grin, or even laugh hilariously? The moment this spark of fun hits you, your diaphragm gets stimulated, and with its vibration and muscular activity you laugh and feel empowered, and as your whole body is moved, you are moved. And why shouldn´t this kind of pleasure be an intrinsic part of your life, every day?
And it´s even so much more then just having a good laugh: It´s the deep feeling of being alive, amused, enchanted, feeling pleased, playful, recreative, joyful,…Fun is found in any activity that you find pleasurable and are naturally drawn to.
Find YOUR words & qualities, that you associate with FUN, and then create a conscious intention to integrate YOUR FUN into your daily life.
Pop the cork of your fun!

POP YOUR WILD

What does the term “wild“, feeling wild, or being wild, mean to you? Do you resonate with free, lush, natural, fierce, luxuriant, unbroken, raw, pure, undomesticated? Or does it scare you?
Don´t let it scare you - “wild“ is free, innocent and pure in it´s core. (Again, a quality that has been drilled into us as dangerous and evil over generations.)
Find your wild nature. Your fierceness, your unbrokenness, your lushness and your free spiritedness. It is of the utmost importance, especially in our age of technological evolution and all its upcoming challenges for mankind with Ai, robots and the digitalization of everything, that we find our WILD. Because it is one of the essential qualities, that make us human, and connect us to our free and souvereign nature. Make it your conscious intention to own your WILD.
Pop the cork of your wild!

POP YOUR FIRE

What sparks your fire? When are you on fire? For what do you burn?
Fire is an ancient symbol of transformation, purification, enlightenment, self-discovery and spiritual growth.
Some religions did an amazing job, in linking the fire you feel inside of you (when you are sexually aroused, turned on by something, burning for something in the material world), to the one aspect of fire that is destroying. They knew that our fire holds our power.
Connect with YOUR fire, and make it a conscious intention to own your FIRE. When you have lost your fire, then look back to times where you´ve already felt it. Become a detective, pull out old photos, listen to the music you have listened to back then, and reconnect with it. Find out, if you still burn for it, or if it has transformed into something else.

Fire is a live-giver, it connects you to the good, hot feeling in your guts. It burns away what needs to go, because it´s time for something new. It prevents things from festering and rotting within us, and it stops us from becoming lukewarm or even cold towards life. It is pure and innocent, and deeply empowering.
Pop the cork of your fire!

POP YOUR PLEASURE

Let this delicious word melt on your tongue - PLEASURE!
Wherein lies your pleasure? What gives you warm bliss, sparkling amusement, nourishing contentment, lavish joy, pleasant luxury, a thrill of ecstasy? What gives you deep, lush satisfaction and contentment?
Own your pleasure! You will not need any substitute satisfaction in the form of addictions anymore, when you truly own your pleasure.
And if the pleasures you think of scare you, maybe because there is a weird, or even an unethical aspect to it, do this: find out what is the actual feeling you are seeking within this fantasy. You have to dig deep, because there is always an innocent, pure feeling at the core of everything we crave for.
Behind the addiction to sweets and sugar lies the need to feel some sweetness in our life, sweet kindness, sweet sensuality, sweet intimacy…Behind the desire to dominate others, lies the need to feel self-respect, self-authorization and self-empowerment. And of course you want all of that! Those are human qualities! (Again, qualities that have been taken from us...)
Pleasure is another term, which’s purity and innocence was destroyed by religions and rulers over the centuries. Especially female pleasure, with its powerful pleasure organs and magical womb was and is something that needed to be extinguished by power-structures that fear to loose control over humans. Such is the power and the sovereignty of the female pleasure. Because it frees us when we own it, it makes us unswayable. We don´t need to outsource our satisfaction anymore. The same goes for male pleasure: it has suffered a lot through the patriarchal dehumanization, making it a power instrument to suppress and exploit females, which doesn’t bring REAL pleasure to any (male) being. It is a perverted pleasure, that dehumanizes us. Real pleasure is connected to our core structure as humans, and our core is love and sovereignty. No matter which gender - own your PLEASURE, it´s your human superpower.

Pop the cork of your pleasure!
