Mātai Mauri - Guided Self Reflection
Mātai Mauri - Guided Self Reflection
The Tohu Whakaoho cards are a reflective resource crafted for personal insight and to encourage mindful engagement with your well-being journey. This tool strengthens reflective skills, supporting grounding practices, self-inquiry, and providing prompts for journal writing.
Take a deep breath and truly embrace the aroha that connects us all. Trust that each kupu on your Tohu Whakaoho cards is imbued with wairua, carrying mātauranga that can guide you to new possibilities, fresh ways of thinking, and foster healing in your life. These kupu hold hōhonu insights, echoing the wisdom that has been passed down, revealing different truths as your mauri aligns. So, engage openly with these cards, staying receptive to the ever-unfolding discoveries and māramatanga these powerful kupu reveal.
Each card contains a kupu that connects to a chakra — one of the seven energy gateways within our bodies. These seven main chakras begin at the perineum and extend to the crown of the head. Each word on the cards aligns with one of these seven chakras:
Root Chakra – Foundation, survival, grounding
Sacral Chakra – Emotion, creativity, relationships
Solar Plexus Chakra – Willpower, confidence, identity
Heart Chakra – Love, compassion, connection
Throat Chakra – Communication, truth, expression
Third Eye Chakra – Intuition, vision, insight
Crown Chakra – Spirit, consciousness, unity
By focusing on a particular chakra, its energy can begin to express itself through the meaning of the word, allowing for reflection, alignment, and integration.
We have two aspects to our being — the physical and the spiritual.
The body, the mind, and the spirit — these three form the whole, with the spirit being the most important. The body is merely a vessel for the spirit. The mind serves as a translator between the spirit and the world, reflecting the presence of spirit within us.
