Giving Real Giving Vibes
I’ve been writing furiously the last few days as a dissertation deadline approaches, but I’m trying to come up for a bit of air to get back to the woo. For today’s draw, I turned to The Naked Heart Tarot. It didn’t disappoint, offering up an encouraging set of cards pointing the way towards being our better selves.
Today’s draw:
Spirit (King) of Pentacles
Heart (Queen) of Cups
Seven of Pentacles
Deck:
The Naked Heard Tarot, by Jilian C. Wilde
You have a tremendous amount of generosity, wisdom, and stability to offer those around you, but you may be struggling to manifest that fully. What are you hung up on? Perhaps you’ve been struggling to fully love yourself or haven’t quite dealt with your own internal hurts and wants, and it’s holding you back from being able to offer that compassion fully to others. Don’t beat yourself up over it, though. You’re closer than you think. Take a lesson from the three guides here in how to get over the last hump. The whale encourages you to take a deep dive into your psyche to ask what part of you still needs to be healed. The tree can point the way to what you’re looking for: what nurtures you? When do you feel most rooted and sturdy, but also able to enjoy life as if it were a gentle breeze, without effort and hardship? When you look within, search for things holding you back from reaching that place. Once you manage the paradox of being sturdy and immovable while also being flexible, open, and light, you will be like the bison: able to give of your gifts with abundance.
