Breathe In the Good

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Tarot of the Hidden Realm - Ten of CupsToday’s draw is the Ten of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of emotional fulfillment, harmonious relationships, and finding abundance on an emotional level that spills over to incorporate those around you.

Breathe in the good and exhale the bad. That is what the imagery in today’s card reminds me of, is that breath exercise used in pain management (and anxiety management as well) where you breathe in the good and exhale the bad.

It’s going to be a busy and chaotic day today, and today’s card is a reminder that you have much to be happy about, and the ability to keep things positive.  Just… breathe out the bad and focus instead on soaking in those things that make you happy instead.

I took breaks where I was able today, even with everyone in a hurry to get here and there.  I ignored an asshole at lunch, and even took a nap in the car at one point.

Safety comes
in the shadowed line
of those that
stand guard
to protect us
from that
which we don’t
want to know about
and in them
we intrust
our safety
as we go about
our lives
unhindered
and blissfully
ignorant

White Space Lenormand Reading

White Space Lenormand Reading with the Ink Sketch Lenormand

Photo Album: Something important that you have forgotten.

Sun and Stork – You need to reexamine what really makes you happy.  Not what you think is supposed to make you happy, but what really makes you smile and feel good and happy on the inside. You have a habit of getting too caught up in the rigors of responsibility and forget to stay in touch with what actually brings you happiness.

Baseball Bat: Something simple that you can still wield.

Fish and Anchor – You have the ability to choose not to be weighed down by responsibilities, and the ability to let go and go with the flow instead.  It’s not as hard as you think to just loosen up and let things move at their own pace instead of constantly tangling yourself up in the expectations you put upon yourself.

Violin: Something connecting you to something larger than yourself.

Letter and Man – This is Gideon. It’s about the fact that he is constantly reaching for you and there for you, allowing you to lean on him and sharing honestly with you what he thinks and how he feels from one day to the next. Through the example he sets in this area, you strive to be a better person yourself.

Clarity Over Nostalgia

Today’s meditation was I timed, and took place in the back of the car prior to taking a nap. It primarily involved breathing exercises meant to help with calming the nerves and relaxation.

Britt’s Third Eye Tarot - Knight of Swords Today’s draw is the Knight of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of a projective and active beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s thoughts, intellect, education, ambitions, and communication. This often translates into themes that have to do with pursuing one’s goals related to their education, actively seeking one’s goals, action and decisiveness,and at times can indicate impulsivity.

With all the warnings in the last handful of days about a “snake in the grass” concerning this trip, and the fact that the Knight in this card is charging into the past (heading left), I see a reminder to stay clear headed, watchful, and sharp today.

This means making sure you are ready for what may come so that you can jump in quickly when needed as we traipse together down memory lane on today’s trip and tasks. Be ready to move quickly concerning people you encounter from your (or Ms B’s) past today.

@lucet.in.aurora.tarot’s #lucetinauroraMaartTarotChallenge Prompt
Prompt for March 20th: A card in a glass jar.

A crystal candy jar will have to do cuz I couldn’t find a glass jar in the place I was at this morning. The lighting is also not the best, but I did what I could.

I took a much needed nap in the car on the way to our destination today.

Manual Starter

A long drive
with a bladder
entirely
too full
and when the
ferry loads
relief holds sway
as getting out
to stretch
is key
and we start
to look
for bathrooms…
not just for me
and when its
finally my turn
and the lock engaged
I find this box
on the wall
in easy reach
waiting

I have
so many questions

IMG_3939Welcome to Hell

Sit and wait
and change your mask
sit and wait
and change rooms
sit and wait
and change the shirt
sit and wait
and change rooms
sit and wait
breathe slowly now
sit and wait
again
sit and wait
another room
so it goes
and goes… and goes
