Today’s
daily draw really made me laugh: I got the Five of Wands and the King of
Pentacles from the Original Rider Waite tarot. Reading Carla’s blog "Rowan tarot" reminded of
my most favorite tarot deck. Some call it your soul deck. It’s the one you can always rely one in whatever circumstances you are. It will never let you
down and in my case it often makes me laugh because it can be so literal.
Anyway the
Five of Wands came first and you have to believe me that today was the day I was
going to the gym for the first time in years. A little bit anxious but also
excited. This card was obviously representing the gym and all the people there,
trying to get fit and maybe also trying to be more fit than the others.
M had given
me the advice to pick one type of fitness equipment so It would be easy for me
to determine afterwards if training on the equipment would cause me pain in my
neck or knee. I chose the crosstrainer and I loved it. Just for 15 minutes with
a very low resistance but it was enough for me and I felt so good about it. It didn’t
matter at all to me that the woman next to me was very athletic and far more
skilled then I was. My main focus was that this is beneficial for my well being.
I also pulled
a card to tell me how I felt about it all and I got the King of Pentacles. Yes, I
feel like the master of my own physical health again; feeling my body move,
perspire (a little) feeling my muscles hurt (a bit) and trusting that this body will
recover and become stronger and more flexible over time.
All in all
a very motivating experience.
