Today’s meditation was a self guided meditation that lasted about twenty minutes, and was in response to the rise of a panic attack and the efforts to head it off and ease it down before it got out of hand.  It consisted of boxed breathing and focusing on the space between the inhales and exhales.

@GlitterbyInk #OctoberCauldron24 Prompt
Cauldron of Motion Prompt for October 10th : Amplify

Today’s draw is the Two of Pentacles combined with the affirmation “Your body is a good body, and it’s doing its best. Please be nice to it!”

I don’t usually like affirmations that are about “doing your best”, but I like this one. That is because while doing -my- best involves overextending myself, my body doing its best?  Is true regardless of whether I am trying to overextend it or not.  My body has limitations to it that can’t be ignored or bad things happen (like losing the feeling in my legs and ability to walk, for example).  Over extending that doesn’t involve my body is far easier, those boundaries far easier to break than the ones my body puts upon me.

The message in today’s cards is a reminder to balance physical requirements with other tasks.  Don’t push so hard your body breaks.  Instead, work on amplifying balance. Give yourself some down time to recover, and in the mean time do other things that don’t require so much physical exertion.  Go back to the physical exertion later after recovery, instead of plowing ahead and risking injury.

@HealingThruTarot’s #httOctoberTarotChallenge2024 Prompt
Prompt for October 9th and 10th

Crystal ball glimpse of my near future.

Four of Pentacles; Pen Tip atop The Doll’s Arm – Your time to wallow in stability is quickly falling to the wayside. That sense of security is something you need. Make sure to prioritize your time well, or you’ll lose the opportunity to enjoy these things as things begin to pick up with your business.

Winds of change arising from deep within.

Eight of Wands atop Six of Swords; Gold Coin – The holiday rush is fast approaching. If you want to make it a successful one, turn your focus in that direction. Although not as amped up and ready for it as some years in the past, you have the ability to foster a greater sense of enthusiasm through focusing on the end results you seek.

I had a very expensive shrink appointment today, and chose to keep it instead of cancelling it, even though I’d just talked to her about three weeks ago.  I feel like the anxiety of the upcoming rush needed a bit of extra support.
