Card of the Day - 10/3

Still using the Halloween Tarot by Kipling West. Please let me know what you think of these daily draws and maybe I will try to do more in the future past October

Today's card is:

EIGHT OF BATS (Swords)

This card is about being tied up in your mind. You're letting the fear of doing something keep you in mental chains and it is effecting your entire life. I mean you are stuck at dead stop. 

Bats use sonar and clicking noises to navigate. So basically they are blind much like the lady in the picture. So you need to lean on your other senses to help you out of this stuck place. 

Suggestion #1: Listen to your favorite music.

You will not believe how quickly an old favorite song can pull you out of the doldrums. I even read about a study where the subjects were asked to pretend like it was 50 years ago. They had the music of the time and the magazines all set out like they had just stepped into the past. And you know what? Those people, some of who were having a hard time walking or using their hands due to RA, suddenly they were transformed. Their joints worked better, their mind was clearer and some even played football with those conducting the experiment, something they would have thought impossible a week earlier. 

So, your mind is a powerful thing. You can let it take control of you or you can use it to free yourself. 

The card off of the top of the deck was the same card as yesterday. It says to go within and meditate. I mean, you've already got your eves closed to the situation, it wouldn't hurt to zone out and clear your mind for awhile. 

Suggestion #2: Zone Out, Meditate and Relax. 

Suggestion #3: Exercise, Take a Walk

Put some distance between you and your problems. Walk around the block, around your neighborhood. There are so many feel good hormones released when you take a moment to exercise. Even ten minutes can have lasting benefits. And it is a great stress reliever to boot. I know personally walking helps me get my mind off my troubles

Suggestion #4: take Higher Ground

You feel like you have people who are out to get you but we need to remember that god is always there. He supports even the leaves on the trees with their tiny spines. So please know he is there for you too. Maybe do a little spiritual or new age reading. I suggest reading E-Squared and E-Cubed by Pam Grout. These books show you how powerful your intentions are. You can be a manifesting super freak in no time. Just by using the power of your mind. Let your mind work for you and not against you. 

Suggestion #5: Set your Intention for the Day

When you first wake up imagine how awesome today is going to be. Think of it like you are walking into a Bizarro land where everything goes your way. It is just strange but in an awesomlely giod way. Listen to uplifting songs. Try the song Happy by Pharrell. It really gets your mind in the right place. 

I hope today's card shows you that you are not as powerless as you seem. Sometimes we only need someone else to point out just how truly powerful and amazing we are. 

Have a blessed and awesomely happy day!
