Today’s card reminds me to ask myself one simple question each day. What do I want to release into the world? Now this isn’t a question of loss or of what I want to let go of. That’s a good question too but this is different.
This is the energy I want to put out in the world. This gorgeous card from the Sirian Starseed has been haunting me. It’s the first card that I cut to when I first opened the deck. It’s turned up when just randomly shuffling. So, I think it has something to say to me.
I don’t look at the book until after I’ve thought about the card. I show you how I study/learn/read tarot in my free book. If you want that book, just sign up for the newsletter and it’s yours.
But back to the question. This figure is releasing beautiful orbs. I like to think of them as thought bubbles. You know, like in a cartoon. In each one is something that I’ve said where someone else could hear.
So I have to think, “Were my words positive?” “Was I being negative?” “Was I focused on the good or the bad?”
What did I just release into the world.
Now this isn’t about shame or blame. I screw up. We all do. No one is perfect. For me, the reason I’m here is to make me a better human. So I accept that sometimes I call a customer an idiot or curse at another driver. Life happens.
So I start my day with “what do I want to release into the world” as a focus for myself. Just like any athlete, I have to have a goal in mind. A marathon runner doesn’t just wander into the road thinking, “I’ll just run until I’m tired.” They set a goal and work to achieve that.
What is your goal today? What do you want to release into the world? What thoughts will you try to spread to others? How will you rise higher?
