Today’s meditation was twelve minutes long, and was a #DailyCalm session from the @Calm app.

The session for today dealt with anxiety, and was a guided meditation concerning confronting and then releasing instances, people, and situations that make our anxiety spike, even if just for the few minutes of a meditation.

Celebrating Our Community Prompt for May 10 : Supportive

Today’s draw is the Ten of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of overwhelm, burnout, struggling under too much responsibility, and can indicate a need to do some prioritizing and delegation.

Anxiety creates overwhelm. You could have nothing pressing on your plate and minimal responsibilities, and anxiety would still create a sense of overwhelm so great that you feel unable to cope.

The thing is, anxiety is temporary. Depression is temporary. These things that influence our perception of what is “too much” for us are all temporary. That doesn’t mean that they should be ignored, though. It’s through supportive acts of self-care that we deal with these feelings and help to ease them.

So remember… just because we “tay the course” on your path doesn’t mean we ignore our discomfort or neglect our needs along the way. Instead, by giving ourselves moments of rest and the loving care we need at any given time, we support our journey and help ourselves in continuing on in healthier ways.

Prompt for May 11 : Do Spread 2
Prompt for May 10: What do you need to focus on for self-care for the next month’s full moon?

Reading Summary: The curvature of the wreath in the anchor card (The World) connects with the horns of the goat in the Determination card. There is also a lack of laurel that is normally present in The World card, but shows up on the head of the figure in the Honor card. These connections speak of a need for determination to reach the finish line on a project that you’ve been working on, but remember not to sacrifice your honor to get there.

“Don’t let the goal distract you from who you are” is shown in the fact that the man in the Honor card faces towards the future, while the hawk beneath him and the woman in The World card both face toward the past.

The figure in the Dream card also faces toward the past, and almost in the exact same angle as the face of the figure in The World card. This speaks of a need to reevaluate your dreams from the past that you are working toward, and decide if they’re really what you want in the present, or if you’re pushing forward out of stubborn determination alone.

Take Away: Sometimes, the dreams we have and the goals that we create from them are a reflection of what we need in the moment, instead of what is good for us in the future.

These cards are encouraging you to look at these dreams and goals that you have held dear for so long, and ensure that they are still in alignment with who you are in the present and where you want to go. Make sure that you aren’t sacrificing yourself and who you are becoming to fulfilled dreams and goals that are no longer applicable to you.
