When a Rabika Lifecross reading is laid out, it takes on a very three dimensional presentation. The layout of the reading has meaning in every direction: top-bottom, left-right, and depth.
The hemispheres of the board are as follows:
- Yang hemisphere = external movement, either by external forces or external movement of the self.
- Yin hemisphere = internal forces at work.
- Unconscious hemisphere = those things we are becoming aware of.
- Conscious hemisphere = that which is or should already be in awareness.
The hemispheres are arranged thus:
- Upper Right = Conscious Yang
- Upper Left = Conscious Yin
- Lower Right = Unconscious Yang
- Lower Left = Unconscious Yin
The spine of the reading falls up the middle of the board, straddling the Yin and Yang hemispheres. The bottom section, called the Cradle, falls in the unconscious hemisphere and the upper section, called the heart cross, falls in the conscious hemisphere.
When extra cards (spots 9-11) that add dimension to the reading fall around the outer circumference of the board, these cards can be positioned in any of the hemispheres depending upon their intended meaning.
In this way, the position of a card in any particular hemisphere can provide valuable information about the rich meaning of that card.
The Citrine stone is powerfully connected to your first, second, and third chakras. That means it is best used to help you with power and security issues. Use the Citrine to help you stay rooted to the earth, calm fears, and remain centered in your personal power. I personally use citrine to calm and balance my energetic field.
Your perception is always filtered through the experiences you hold as dear.
