Stay Present with a Tarot Lens

For many of us in America and even abroad, this was an emotionally intense week.

The collective effort of community to support one another made it easier for those of us who were disappointed.

One friend signed off our chat with a simple message to, “Stay in the present”. This struck a chord of wisdom that we can all benefit from.

Future speculation rarely serves us.

For today, let’s tap into a few simple ways to get re-centered in what we can control through the lens of tarot suits.

Swords / Air . . . Breathe

Pause right now and sit up a little taller. Inhale through your nose for a count of 4 and then hold for 4 and exhale for a count of 8. Hold briefly. Repeat at least 3 times, but keep going with the long slow breaths as you continue to read this newsletter.

Pentacles / Earth . . . Ground

Place your feet on the floor. Imagine growing roots into the earth and pull up earth energy into your feet. Harbor yourself in this moment in this body. Let yourself be heavy. Feel the weight of you with gratitude for this physical form.

Wands / Fire . . . Movement

Dance is a form of magical energetic movement. Go into your music library and find a song that uplifts your spirits and moves your body. Take a one-song break from it all.

Cups / Water . . . Feel

With the heart, the only way out is through. Tune into the heart center and feel your emotional state with acceptance and curiosity as to how it will ebb and flow like water into another state of feeling . . . and then another. Allow all to arise and be felt and shift.

Major Arcana / Spiritual Journey . . . Remember

Reflect into the past to heal the present. You have faced many challenges and successes in life. Along the way, you gained skills and wisdom that serve you with resilience in this very moment. You have the tools to thrive, and are developing more each day.

Sit for a moment with one way you know you are strong and powerful. Let the Intuition of the High Priestess remind you of your own self trust. Dip into more of this with an intuition coaching session.

Perhaps take this strength within you and consider where you would like to volunteer to feel a part of the positive efforts you want to see in the world. Inspire an action that feels productive, however small.

If your own life journey feels full of twists and turns lately, please sign up for a personal tarot reading with me to untangle the pathways.

You don’t need to do all your spiritual growth alone. Bring in a friend for a Tarot Together session to bring community into your journey.

Welcome even more friends together for a Tarot Party. If you live in Portland, have a talented professional reader perform for your community. Portlandia Fortune Tellers provides top notch divination artists to add magic into any gathering.

With Grace and Hope,
