Going out into Nature is often an antidote - getting out of your Head and back into your Heart! <br />Thanks for continuing to share your Journey with us!<br />Halcyonx Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17530748504622747893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-74716325973566049312014-10-09T11:23:31.360+02:002014-10-09T11:23:31.360+02:00"open our eyes to the world beyond our though..."open our eyes to the world beyond our thoughts" <br />That is so true!<br />You are indeed a wise woman, my friend :)Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617686222764658629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-25688730947262230672014-10-08T22:58:51.327+02:002014-10-08T22:58:51.327+02:00With this card, as with so many Ten of Swords imag...With this card, as with so many Ten of Swords images, I notice the sense of overkill, or exaggeration. Everything is incredibly terrible, the very sun is bleeding and dying. To me, this is a reminder that things are rarely as bad as we perceive them, that it is our thoughts and ideas that make things seem so dreadful. A reminder that if we can still our mind, come back to the flow of breath in our body, open our eyes to the world beyond our thoughts, then we can find a seed of joy in the world again! :)Neopagan Priestesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389878173900385163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-76851238672654278252014-10-08T18:22:16.068+02:002014-10-08T18:22:16.068+02:00Thank you Olivia I will keep mind to be gentle wit...Thank you Olivia I will keep mind to be gentle with myself.

It can be hard to trust. But I think it's a natural process, and one that develops in its own time and manner. I hope you're not too hard on yourself!Olivia Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787218597949074958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-85775534133950403542014-10-08T17:42:46.397+02:002014-10-08T17:42:46.397+02:00Strange but my immediate reaction to the card was ...Strange but my immediate reaction to the card was not negative, until I read your description of it. It then, yes, sounded ghastly! <br /><br />Our lizard brains always seem to be in conflict with our rational brain. I know there was a jumping off point where there is a leap of faith, that helps me to get step off that merry-go-round. I had to let go of my rational brain when it came to my faith. My rational brain really does get in my way sometimes. At the same time being rational human beings we are meant to question and doubt. Blind faith without doubt is unhealthy and unwise. <br />I sure relate to what you say Ellen, about ' over thinking the unthinkable. ' <br />Your post reminds me of something my Al-Anon sponsor once said to me. " The longest journey is the one from the head to the heart.

I feel that if the momentum of spiralling can be stilled for just a moment to look up, then the angst may subside....for a while at least! This card has more movement than many 10 of Swords' - where, for instance the RWS and co have someone lying still, possibly depicting that one can go no further, this one has so much force. I'd find it harder to find peace in this one :-)Margo Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06759845391358543223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-35177436442356129182014-10-08T14:35:45.355+02:002014-10-08T14:35:45.355+02:00Yes I do see the difference between circling and s...Yes I do see the difference between circling and spiraling.

I used to feel like I was moving in a circle, winding up where I started from spiritually. But now I think I am actually moving in a spiral; I might be back in the same area, but now I see with depth and more understanding. I imagine I'll keep doing this for the rest of my life.thesycamoretreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182019323050600440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-51876320265696357102014-10-08T13:50:59.954+02:002014-10-08T13:50:59.954+02:00I've never bought any of Emily's deck, I l...I've never bought any of Emily's deck, I look forward to seeing a few more cards.<br /><br />And searching and thinking is far more important than accepting wholesale someone else's hidebound idea of spirit and living and not thinking at all.
