10. Oracle Reflection
If White Tara visits you, ask:
Where have I abandoned my own pain?
Who needs my presence more than my answers?
What does it feel like to be watched with no judgment?
She answers not with words—but with gaze, breath, and radiant holding.
11. Visual Invocation
Envision White Tara seated on a white lotus, her body glowing with moonlight. Her seven eyes open — in her palms, soles, and brow — each one aware, present, and kind. Around her, a halo of soft white petals floats in still space. She looks at you, and you remember that you have always been seen.
