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."

Mindset Restructuring

 

From the Osho Zen Tarot, the Two of Pentacles; from the A'HA Oracle, Spider and Web:


You see life through your own unique lens. This is your mindset – the assumptions and expectations you hold about yourself, your life and the situations around you. By understanding, adapting and shifting your mindset, you can improve your health, decrease your stress and become more resilient to life’s challenges. ―Mia Primeau

This fellow glides from one stone to another while rough waves swirl at his feet, threatening to unbalance him. The Two of Pentacles always reminds me of a line in a daily prayer written by Mary Jane Dodd: "May I move through each moment mindfully (paying attention to this moment), lightly (keeping my sense of humor), and with clarity (seeing reality without my judgments added). Those three practices can help steady us when there seems to be no letup of storms in our life. Spiders who find their webs constantly broken by wind or animals will rebuild them in another spot. Spider asks us to consider if we're making our situation worse by our assumptions and demands; if so, we might want to do some mindset restructuring.

    Your daily card interpretation complements my own daily draw and gives me something to think about and understand better. I really appreciate you!
