I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Emotional Resonance

This week I'll be using the Light Seer's Tarot, created by Chris-Anne Donnelly and published by Hay House. The other deck I'll be drawing from is the Tapestry Oracle, created and self-published by Kendall Eifler. Today's draws are the King of Cups and Source:


Have you ever been around someone who seems to have a tranquil influence no matter who or what they're dealing with? The King of Cups has that kind of composure and aura about him. Like the vibrating singing bowl he uses, his calmness can bring the agitated frequency of another in resonance with his own. Yet his emotional intelligence isn't just a part of his personality; he's had to develop it. He knows he must first regulate his own emotional state to be able to work with what's shown up on his doorstep. The Source card shows a figure rooted into the ground. Whether it's cognitive behavioral therapy, a spiritual practice or the use of creativity to channel our feelings, we all need a method that can center us when life is spinning like a dust devil. Once our nervous system dilutes and dissolves our stress hormones, our rational brain can come back online and help us deal competently with reality.

  1. Appearances can be deceiving. Even those who seemingly have it all together battle some chaos here and there.

    1. That's very true. I've had late night conversations with people whom I thought lived a charmed life, only to find their reality was very different.
