Card #102 — The Breath
“Life’s first and last rhythm.”
The Breath is the pulse of existence itself—the inhale that begins life, the exhale that releases it, and every moment in between. This card is a reminder to return to presence, to honor the sacred rhythm that carries you, and to remember that each breath is both fragile and eternal.
Message
When The Breath appears, it calls you to stillness. It may be time to slow down, reconnect with your body, and listen to the life moving through you. The Breath is your anchor to the present moment, where past and future fall away, and truth is found in the now.
This card also reminds you of the sacred cycle: birth and death, arrival and departure. Breath is both the beginning and the end, the entrance and the release. By honoring it, you honor the entirety of your journey.
Affirmation
With each breath, I honor life. Inhale presence, exhale peace.
