Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the affirmation on the included card in this post. This is a theme that I struggle with a lot, as I spent a good portion of my life rushing to and fro, getting shit done. Slowing down is not easy for me, and I often struggle with negative inner narratives when trying to take things at a slower pace. The meditation today is a reminder that it’s okay to go slow. It’s still progress.

Today’s draw is the Knight of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of a projective beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s thought, intellect, reasoning, education, aspirations, and communication. This often translates into themes that have to do with impulsivity, quick and even aggressive mental acuity, ambition, and specifically when it comes to ambition… the drive to succeed.

Look at the movement of the wind in the picture and how it seems to swirl around the knight and usher him forward in his charge. What I see in today’s card is a reminder to work smarter, not harder. Don’t be impulsive and just leap into projects so that you’re stuck charging uphill. Instead, take a minute to plan so that you can ride the flow and make things easier on yourself.
