Elder represents the end in the beginning, and the beginning in the end. We all walk a sacred path that is different than any other. Elder helps us to open to all possibilities, to remember the vast and mysterious wisdom of the universe that is beyond all human understanding. It moves consciousness from a closed to an open system.

When to use elder:

• When going into a cycle of regeneration.
• When connecting to the wonder of life.
• When feeling like our world has become narrow or small.
• When we find ourselves questioning the choices or decisions of self or another.
• When recovering from cancer or other debilitating disease.
• When acknowledging any form of completion.

Sample affirmation: I remember the beginning within every ending. I open to all the possibilities life has to offer. I feel the Great Mystery unfolding.
