The Comforts of Home

IMG_E0044Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was one of the guided meditations from the Calm app.

I don’t really remember the topic of the meditation for today, but it was relaxing regardless of the fact that I wasn’t really paying attention to what she was saying.  That said?  I very much like the Robert Louis Stevenson quote that was included in the graphic offered at the end of the meditation (which you can see to the right in this post).

Lovely Day Tarot - Four of WandsToday’s draw is Four of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of home coming, celebration, and the comforts of hearth and home.

Here in this imagery, we see both celebration and home combined, with the Christmas holiday theme that’s depicted in the card. It gives this card a very “hearth and home” feeling for me, and a touch of longing for the type of relaxing holidays that I don’t really get a chance to experience anymore.

The message in today’s card is that you’ve been sick. Just enjoy being home today. It’s a wonderful thing.

Questions for April 30th

Lovely Day TarotI will not quit…

Five of Cups and Seven of Swords – … fighting against my pessimistic inner narrative and its ability to steal away the nourishment, care, and joy that I need in my life.

Because…

Judgement and Three of Wands – …there are brighter roads ahead and better things coming, but they will only become a part of my life if I am open to letting them in. Pessimism and negative inner narratives close me off to those things.

It’s my birthday and I spent as much of it as I could with Gideon.

Don’t Push It

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Lovely Day Tarot - TemperanceToday’s draw is the Temperance card, which is traditionally a representation of moderation, patience, and harmony through balance.

When this card was pulled today, I heard the words rather than needing to find them.  The message in this card is “Just do what you can today. Don’t push it.”

Today is packing day, and I have a good bit to get done to be ready to go tomorrow.  I’m trying to take it easy, but I can feel the tension slowly building the further into the day I go.

I will continue to try and take things easy, it just feels like it’s careening out of control all on its own.

Questions for Temperance – Day 16

Nashika's Rabbit Oracle and Lovely Day TarotHow can I apply {more} harmony or balance to my life at the moment?

Tree and Gold – Appreciate the value that lies in rest.

This is not something that I’m particularly good at, but I’ve had a few days this week that felt very nice and restful.  Not this day specifically, mind you.  But yesterday and the day before were quite nice.

How can I best adapt to recent changes in my life?

Present and Clouds – Allow yourself to be in the present and enjoy the world around you. Daydreams don’t always have to be about the future, and neither does your focus always have to be trained in that direction.

Question for April 16th: What do you need to focus on for self-care for this full moon?

Lovely Day TarotReading Summary: Instead of focusing on your own demons (The Devil), spend time appreciating all that you have in your life (Ten of Pentacles) and letting others know they are treasured (Atonement).

Take Away: This time over the next few days it’s not about you, so turn your focus to those that you are grateful for, and use the time to show them just how much they are appreciated as a valuable part of your life.

Side Note:  I really like the imagery in the Atonement card.  I also very much like that the devil’s tail in the Devil card could belong to either figure. There’s no way to tell for sure.

I didn’t really feel like cooking today, but I didn’t want the veggies in the fridge to go to waste so I made a healthy dinner for L and myself.
