Heart Connections –
The Way of Love
Qualities
Mother, lunar, moodiness, fluctuations, healing, balance, psychic, intuition, nurturing and caring.
Description
This path, the longest on the Tree, leads from the shining will of the CROWN, the source of Light, to BEAUTY. It is the path of love and nurturing. The Moon, the seat of the goddess within, rules this path. Here you are called to pay attention to the connection between the mind and the heart. Most people struggle to unify their feelings with their logical thoughts. This path can help us all achieve this noble goal. Memory and the collective archive sleep here, as do motherhood, healing and unconditional love. Path #2 suggests duality and relationship but strictly in the service of others. It evokes giving and an end to selfishness. It is the path of healers, nurses and givers of life.

Hebrew Letter
ג The letter Gimel means a camel-the only beast capable of crossing the desert. It is a highly temperamental animal, but also very loyal. It stores its own water (its own sustenance) inside, which allows it to survive on its own for weeks at a time. It serves as a ship ferrying its cargo across the harsh landscape of the desert. The letter is also associated with giving and nurturing others. Gimel also translates into the word “to wean,” which means that you should be careful not to create attachment to those you serve. This is common among people who need to be needed and therefore can develop dependency and codependency.
