Today’s meditation was skipped.  I dawdled a bit with my phone after yoga, but I just didn’t do the meditation part. I gave into that emotional response instead of the “necessity” mindset that I’ve been working on.

Today’s draw is The World card, which is traditionally a representation of completion, coming to the end of a journey, accomplishment, as well as a time in one’s growth where transformation and transition are achieved.

The “you’re a blueberry fairy princess” surprised a smile from me this morning when I read it, which made the “you’re amazing” part seem… easier to hear?

The reminder in these cards today is not just to be kind to yourself, but that in order to grow and become better, being kind to yourself is a part of the process. A necessity. We are all amazing, and until we can accept that not just of others but also of yourself, it will continue to hold you back.  Self acceptance creates freedom to stretch beyond into more than you ever were before.

#DiscordTarotholicsSep2021 Challenge Prompt
Topic: Do Spread 3

Amber – Where do I need to work on my emotions to create more balance in my life?

King of Wands atop King of Coins – This is about scarcity issues. It’s about the drive to collect more and more financial stability and security. It’s spurred on by the uncertainty that you felt in your past and the desire to have contingency plan after contingency plan to make sure that you never return to that place of uncertainty again.  A type of hyper-focus that is unhealthy.

Cedar – How can I use my present day fortitude to strengthen my future protection?

Four of Swords atop Three of Coins – Allow others to help you more, so that you can get more restorative rest. It is through your connection to others and the ability to work together that you are able to give yourself the rest you need to stay strong and keep going.

Marigold – Where should I focus on my health in order to develop a happier outlook?

The World – There is no one specific area that you need to focus on, but rather you need to focus on the whole and treating yourself kinder in general.

Lapis Lazuli – What hidden truths can self-awareness bring to light in my life?

Two of Wands – Where you’re going and how you’re going to get there. This is about clarity instead of doubt and uncertainty. By getting more deeply in touch with what you want and where you want to go, you will be able to see the path before you that much more clearly.

Walnut – How can I be more discerning in picking positive friendships?

Five of Cups – Hold back a bit and be less hopeful. You are jaded in so many areas of life where that outlook can be harmful to you, and yet in this area you are hopeful when you should be jaded and take things more cautiously.

Sapphire – How can I best discern between logical thought and true wisdom?

Three of Swords – Wisdom is a knowledge that comes from deep within the body, not the brain. Logical thought comes from the brain… true wisdom is felt deep in the heart and the gut.

Yarrow – How can I move from a place of trauma into a place of healing?

Four of Coins – By grounding yourself. Only from a place of stability can true healing begin to flourish.

BekahMurphysMagic’s #IntuitiveHealingTarotChallenge Prompt
Questions for September 26th thru 28th

What “mountain” do I need to climb to reach my intuitive potential?

Healing, Nine of Diamonds atop Six of Diamonds – You have a great deal of healing to do concerning how you see the present, and in how the past influences your present. Until this healing is at a point where you can be more generous toward yourself and the present, your intuitive potential will remain untapped.

Where do I need to “dive deep” to reach my intuitive potential?

Warrior and Jack of Clubs – Motivation is an issue. Until you find a way to pull up that inner spark of drive and motivation that has faltered of late, you will continue to fall short of touching upon your intuitive potential.

Where is my intuitive potential overflowing at this time?

Hidden atop Authenticity, Queen of Diamonds – You know who you are, and you know how to tap into that deep hidden knowledge within you. You know where you belong, where you shine, and how to get in touch with the energy and the nurturing that you need. You’re very well seated in your intuitive skills, and knowledgeable in how they work and how to listen to them and act upon them, as well as how to share them with others in healthy ways that nurture both yourself and others at the same time.

I have worked very hard to not call myself a dumbass even once today, and the couple of times I did, I took time to reason out why that’s not really the best reaction and remind myself that I’m not a dumbass.
