Let’s Wing It

#DailyTrip with the Calm app - Sayadaw U Tejaniya quoteToday’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was a #DailyTrip session from the Calm app.  The session itself was only eight minutes, but I lingered for another two because it felt a little too short.

The session was about doing nothing, and essentially walked you through eight minutes of doing just that… nothing.  It guided you back to that “nothing” again and again whenever the mind starts to stray or the attention begins to be pulled in one direction or another, bringing you back to that “nothing” again and again throughout the session.

You would think a meditation like this would be easy, but it’s not until you actually try it that you realize just how much stuff goes through your head from minute to minute throughout the day.

Moon Void Tarot's King of Wands and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the King of Wands combined with the affirmation “I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m trying anyway.”

“Winging it” really is a thing.  A very useful and extremely helpful thing. It can terrify others (or even yourself) when the question of “what are we going to do” comes up and your answer is “I dunno.  Let’s see what happens!”  And yet?  Some of the absolute greatest successes (and most massive failures) come out of that sense of adventure that allows you to “just wing it” now and then.

Don’t forget about the magic in this. Enthusiasm and winging it can set the world on fire.

#DiscordTarotholicsFeb2024 Challenge Prompt
Question for February 23rd
: Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day – What in life makes you deserving of a treat today?

The Roadkill Oracle Deck and Moon Void Tarot - Three of Swords, Page of PentaclesThree of Swords Rx and Sloth – You aren’t languishing, which allows your depression and disenchantment a foothold, but actually doing things today.

It might not be the things that everyone else wants you to do?  But that’s okay.  Do what you want to do. You’re starting something new and getting things done.

Page of Pentacles and Human – You’ve made a choice to be creative today and begin the first steps on a new creative project. Part of this is bringing that project to somewhere you have more time to focus on it, but also there is the part where you actually began the project.

The Treat – Ms B made homemade chocolate chip cookies!

Daily Self Kindness

I packed up and took a set of work stuff to Ms B’s today.  It really bothers me that a lot of times when I’m at her house, I’m wasting hours of my day just sitting around so that she has some company for a bit.  By bringing a set of supplies/tools there, I can at least get something productive done during that time, even if I’m working on it a little at a time instead of finishing projects in one fell swoop.

Lets float along
just you and I
for a little while
together
as the currents
of life
wash by
in ebb and flow
and we let
the world
spin on
without our
interference
or protest

🌕 Full Moon in Virgo – February 2024

Tomorrow is the full moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is courtesy of Seeds of Shakti.

Virgo Full Moon Oracle Reading with the Timeless Tales Oracle

What medicine does the Virgo Full Moon offer?

Liberation – You are being offered the opportunity to wrest free more independence from those things that tie your hands and hold you down.

What area in my life needs more structure and organization?

Justice – Remember that you get what you give. It’s time to create a cycle of returns.

What lifestyle changes would my body, mind, and heart benefit from?

Greed – Tap into your feelings of FOMO and make sure that they aren’t being allowed to get out of control. Practice moderation, even though it’s not your strong suit.

What project that has been on the back burner forever needs to be revisited and completed?

Fortune – It’s time to begin working on those things that you know will grow your fortune and create success for you. Get draft listings posted in your shop, restock those things that you know people are waiting to come back in stock in your shop, etc.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Secrets – Tend to your own secrets and leave other people’s alone. Remember that other people are not all that much different than you, and their secrets are probably similar as well. There’s no need to go digging.
