The Four of Swords…

Tonight take a break, create some safe space and let yourself zen out. No matter what you are doing, you can find a moment to reconnect to a sense of self-protection and clear the mind of clutter. Find your sacred spot, close your eyes and imagine you are in a protected location that makes you feel calm and secure - perhaps one you have visited in the past or even one you are dreaming up now to inspire stillness. Use all of your thoughts to build a metaphoric shield around you. Connect to this imagined place with all senses and be as detailed as possible when you do. Perhaps there is someone who enters your space - someone who makes you feel protected and loved - someone you haven’t seen in sometime. Let them give you the gift that they have for you - a message, a thought, a beautiful thing you can hold and enjoy in the moment. And, in that moment, feel the love and protection that you carry with you always. When you release yourself and return to the world around you, remember that peace of mind is yours for tonight and for always, if you choose to access it.

“Within you, there is a stillness and sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.” —Hermann Hesse
