Card of the day: Son (Knight) of Swords. So how are things REALLY? Today, the cards are asking you to determine what is really real and giving you a warning about the power of your mind's creation. How do you handle boredom and/or stagnation? (4 of Cups) To me, stagnation is killer (Knight of Swords.) I like to be doing and I like things to be going and moving and new. When I am asked by the Universe to stop and just "be" or to have patience, I admit, this is my most difficult soul work. I think the same goes for many people, actually. But have you wondered why that is? My intuition is that this is a deeply rooted lack of trust. To "let go" is really kind of scary because good grief, what if no one catches you? Falling hurts! We know this because we've all "fallen" in one way or another. And so we try to control and command the Universe, willing ourselves to never fall again, all the while, knowing the Universe doesn't work that way. A lot of times, this controlling comes in the form of worry and anxiety. Worry is a way to feel in control when you feel so out of control. Planning and plotting all possible outcomes, and of course, our shadowy side likes to plan the awful outcomes. But here's the thing, things always work out! Dont they? Yes! Unfortunately, many of us have trained our brains into thinking it's because we worried so hard about it. This isn't true, however. Worrying only causes stress within you. Stress only gets your body swirling with stress hormones that over time, can cause your body to deteriorate and become really unwell. The reading today is a warning and a call to be real with yourself about your circumstances. Bring your mind to the absolute present moment where you can see crystal clearly, that all is well in your world. Do your best to stay there. Because your tendency to worry can and will get you into a very real and very harmful state of dis-ease if you don't learn to reign in it (5 of Pentacles.) Our bodies hold the key to this as our breath is our built in anchor to the present moment. Close your eyes and breathe. Practice gratitude. Tell yourself that you are ok right now and repeat and repeat and repeat. You are more than ok.
Namaste 💙
