Today’s meditation was supposed to be twelve minutes long, and take place in the backseat of the car I was riding in.  It ended up being about eight minutes long before I dozed off in said back seat and had myself an impromptu little nap.  The topic of the meditation was “you are worth taking care of” which, no surprises here, is a message that I often struggle with.

It’s hard to remember that I’m worth taking care of when my inclinations toward self-destruction are so strong.  It was a good reminder to put in the effort to be kind to myself, though, and consciously choose to provide for my needs instead of ignoring them.

Today’s draw is the Page of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive omega energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s willpower, drive, passions, and inner spark.

What stands out to me in this card is that the bird is facing to the past instead of the future.  The issue being that sometimes?  We aren’t inspired by the future or what we can do in the present.  Sometimes?  It’s in the past that we find inspiration.  In the art of our ancestors, their words or their skills, their actions and their gifts.

The message in today’s card is that in times when you simply can’t find inspiration in the present or the future?  Look to the past for what you seek.

Questions for June 13th thru 15th – Sense

How can I use the wisdom of the natural world to guide me in making important life decisions?

Four of Cups and Sloth – Don’t neglect the time needed to do your meditation. Make it a priority, even when you are tapped out and struggling to keep up. Force the world to move at your speed, instead of putting off or discarding that which is important.

What lessons can I learn from the cycles and seasons of nature to enhance my personal growth?

Page of Swords and Spider – Learn to observe and explore the ebb and flow of your creative energies instead of expecting to pull them up and pour them into anything at any time. Your creative energy is not constant, just as the cycles of nature create times of rest and times of growth.

What signs and synchronicities can I look for in nature that will guide me towards my purpose?

The Hermit and Swan – Make sure that your alone times are of the healthy variety and not spent indulging in your unhealthy tendency to lean into isolation.

Question for June 13th : Weed Your Garden Day – What is it time to shed from your life for good?

Reading Summary: It’s time to let go (Death) of the stubborn closed-mindedness that prevent you (The Hanged Man) from appreciating your accomplishments and how far you’ve come (Nine of Pentacles).

Take Away: Taking yourself for granted is a habit that leaves you always pushing yourself for far more than is healthy.  Although a difficult and long-term goal in your life, it’s important that you don’t lose focus on taking time to appreciate the journey and your strength as you travel along life’s path.  Give yourself credit where credit is due instead of always pushing that appreciation aside in an effort to accomplish even more.

I took rest whenever I was able today, rather than continuing to push myself when my body told me it needed some down time.
