Today’s meditation was twenty minutes long, and was one of the #DailyCalm sessions in the @Calm app. The session for today addressed how when we seek to better understand others better, it creates common ground and fosters connection.

The @GlitterbyInk #JulyJoy25 Challenge
Celebration of Joy Prompt for July 9 : Laughter
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is The World card, which is traditionally a representation of the end of a journey, the completion of a time of growth, accomplishment, and transitioning from one path in life to another.

At the end of the day, what matters most? How about at the end of your journey? Will it really be all those things that you stress over and push and shove for? Or will it be the moments in life that brought a smile to your lips and laughter to the surface?

I think it will be the latter.

Today’s card combined with the “laughter” prompt is a reminder to ground yourself in the moments where smiles and laughter live. The rest? It may all be important in the moment, but it won’t be what truly matters in the end. Savor life’s moments of laughter, and store them away to remember.

DECK USED:  BANA’S TRADITIONAL KOREAN TAROT

#DiscordTarotholicsJul2025 Challenge
Philosophical Question for July 2 : Who are the most valuable members in any society? Why?

Reading Summary: The children.

Children are the beginning of what comes next (Daehan). In their youth, we celebrate them. As they age, sometimes we grieve that youth now gone (Chunbun), but they become who we teach them to be. Does that mean we are grieving our own failures? (Daeseo)

Take Away: This was an unexpected answer, as my brain when considering this question prior to pulling cards was going in an entirely different direction.

I think this is true, though.  Children are our future. What we teach them is what they carry forward into the future with them, so their value? Is very much built into how we raise them and what they learn from us and society.

Other elements included in this reading:
Fuchsia Flowers for Stability in the Face of External Disruption

Clear Quartz for a boost of Intentional Energies
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy
