Don’t Force It

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was one of the #DailyTrip sessions in the @Calm app.

Baseball Tarot's The Empress Card and Happiness Chemicals DeckToday’s draw is The Natural (The Empress) card, which is traditionally a representation of the nurturing, female strength and empowerment without losing that “softer side” in the process, abundance, fertility, the divine feminine, and Mother Earth.

Stop trying to make things happen through willpower or ego. Go with the flow and simply be yourself.” – Deck Guidebook

Abundance comes through playing off of your strengths.

Breathe and let things come to you at their own pace. There’s no rush. When you push too hard, you strangle both your own potential and the potential of the situation.

Today’s message is a reminder that slowing down is not stopping. This message encourages going with the flow instead of forcing the results you want. Instead, let the universe help you to realize what’s really possible and invite that abundance to flourish in your life.

@LightningWildflower‘s June Tarot Challenge
Connection Prompts for June 25th thru 27th

Ocean Spirit OracleWhat do I value most in my relationships?

Clarity – Your relationships with others allow you to see not just the world through a different perspective, but also gain a greater understanding of yourself as well. This is because unlike strangers, these people are open to you asking questions, understanding that you seek to reframe your own perspective to include greater clarity through a broader outlook.

How do I usually engage with those around me?

Freedom – You have a tendency to let others do their own thing and make their own choices, and expect them to do the same for you.

What connections need to be improved?

Perspective – This card echoes back to the first question above, and speaks of a need to work on listening more and sharing less. Don’t disregard the details just because you’re distracted by inner narratives, overwhelmed, or feeling too busy to take the time.

Other elements included in this reading:
Random Beach Detritus for a Stronger Connection to the Sea’s Wisdom
Carnelian Agate for Inner Drive and Focusing On One’s Aspirations
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

Gideon’s Challenge – Too Delicate

Yellow RoseToo Delicate

Easily crushed
and bruised
with just a touch
the flesh
is smooth
but sensitive
and thin
and as the
soul within
shirks away from
brash sounds
and loud noises
retreat
seems safest

🎨 Weekly Creativity Prompt – Alternate Endings

Prompt: Andi and Sam are moving cross-country together to settle in a new city. One has a job lined up, and the other will be out of work on arrival. Out of the different three card readings shown below, which one provides the happiest result for Andi and Sam? Why do you say that?

The Otto Schmidt Tarot, Sun and Moon Tarot, and Star Spinner TarotOkay, so… fast and loose, short and sweet.

In the first trio, we see in the Emperor that there’s a good deal of responsibility being put on the shoulders of one side.  This might foster a greater sense of harmony between Andi and Sam (Four of Wands), but only if the other party picks up the slack on the emotional side of things and becomes an emotional support for the one taking on the weight of responsibility (Queen of Cups).

In the second trio, we have a roll of the dice that can turn into true harmony or a very destructive situation depending on how it plays out (the wheel situation going on in the Four of Wands). They need to make sure that they are working together (Three of Pentacles) on their mutual goals and supporting each other emotionally along the way (Princess of Cups) in a give-and-take.

In the third trio we have another clear statement of risks being taken with potential rewards in the balance (Wheel of Fate). There’s going to need to be a lot of strategizing and communication between the two of them (King of Swords) to make sure that this change develops into a promise of good things to come (Death).

None of these promise a happy result, for it really depends on how Andi and Sam feel about the balance of work and support in their relationship.  Are they okay with one working and the other saying home in a more supportive role?  If so, then the first trio is the happiest result.

If they need something more balanced on who carries what chores and responsibilities?  Then either the second or third will be the happiest, but there’s a greater risk of unknown results coming out of the third reading out of these three.
