trillista: 10 OF SWORDS If you asked me to describe my spiritual awakening, this image does so profoundly. Although initially it may appear like a tragic defeat, it is actually the ultimate liberation. This is the death of an old way of being… of an old way of thinking. You can become paralyzed by your own mind. Those piercing fear based thoughts and anxieties weigh heavily on the psyche, and ultimately manifest in the body. It can all become so heavy that you can barely keep your head up… and you just collapse. •This is the 10 of swords. The number 10 in tarot signifies completion, and the swords represent the element of air which correlates to the mental realm. It is surrendering to the pain, rather than trying to escape it that will free you. It is indeed a painful process, but in surviving it you realize that your’e a warrior… and you remember that your spirit is indestructible and your soul is eternal.•After having been exposed to this much agony, I have to tell you that the healing process is not instantaneous. If you’ve experienced, or are experiencing a similar energy, you must give yourself time to heal. Even amidst the darkest times you can find a gentle, calming energy. It’s all about your perspective. This is the dawning of a new day. Look at the still water in the image which provides a soothing peaceful energy. Focus on the rising of the sun which will eventually fully eradicate any darkness that has weighed you down. Imagine the sun warming your body and giving you life. Picture the water gently washing over you, cleansing your wounds. Take your time and slowly start removing the swords one by one, and allow yourself to get up again, feeling lighter than ever.•I hope that 2018 is a very healing, empowering year for you. Be patient with wherever you are in your journey. Stay committed to your goals no matter how many setbacks or obstacles come your way. Remember “the mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.” Don’t allow yourself to ever feel this defeated again. Your potential is far greater than you know, and you’re being offered the opportunity this year to reclaim your power. Rise to the occasion. — Nicole Porée-Zayas -- source link
