Message From My Spirit Guide Prompt for June 2 :
Echo
Daily Mental Health Prompt
: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is The Hierophant card, which is traditionally a representation of traditions, spiritual guidance, long standing institutions, teachers and guides, and themes that deal with conformity and social norms.

Other element in this card: Brother Zachariah is (was) a Silent Brother (sort of like a guardian monk in the Shadowhunters series) that manages, through unique personal circumstances, to retain a portion of his humanity.

Remember that following the traditions handed down through generations does not mean you have to lose yourself in the process. These echoes of the past that are repeated from one generation to the next are meant to enhance an embellished one’s life, as well as teach. They are not meant to take the place of individuality.

The message in today’s Hierophant card and the “echo” prompt is a reminder that listening to and/or adopting long-held traditions is not meant to take away your individuality or authenticity. Rather, it’s often simply an act of honoring the past and what others have done, accomplished, or valued.

June 3 – Mental Health Card of the Day

Message From My Spirit Guide Prompt for June 3 :
Play
Daily Mental Health Prompt
: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Knight of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of a projective and active “beta” energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s thoughts, intellect, education, ambitions, and communication. This often translates into themes that have to do with pursuing one’s goals related to their education, actively seeking one’s goals, action and decisiveness, and at times can indicate impulsivity without thinking things through.

Enthusiasm can get you a long way towards your goal, but don’t forget that including a bit of whimsy and fun to what you’re doing helps make things go a little quicker and easier. In the process, you also help make them go in your favor.

They’re not kidding that time flies when you’re having fun. Even the crappiest of tasks can go a little faster (and be a bit more enjoyable) if you mix in a little fun and whimsy into the mix.

The message in today’s Knight of Wands and “play” prompt is a reminder that everything is a little better when we mix a little play into the process. Adding this element of play doesn’t mean you aren’t taking what you’re doing seriously, it simply means you’re enjoying it a bit more.

Message From My Spirit Guide Prompt for June 4 :
Stillness
Daily Mental Health Prompt
: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Two of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of planning, decision making, looking ahead, and themes to do with progress.

Stagnancy isn’t really stagnancy if you’re making plans within the stillness. Not every moment can be spent “on the move” towards one’s goals. It’s necessary to plan as well.

The message in today’s Two of Wands and “Stillness” prompt is a reminder that taking time in stillness to plan is still movement, as long as you aren’t allowing yourself to “hold back” for “the right time” or because of fear. After all, a prepared excursion of any sort is far more likely to succeed than one embarked upon without preparation and a plan.

Gideon’s Challenge – Needy

Ivy - New Growth

Needy

I need you
to keep reaching
and clinging
tight
to each moment
between us
as the chaos
of the world
tries
to force
my retreat
and tear us
apart
keep loving me
through it all
and
don’t let go
