Feeling Grounded


One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to increase your sense of groundedness.  It's so easy to slip into uncertainty or rage or depression.  If you focus on a sense of being grounded,  of being of the earth,  it's easier to hold true to yourself when emotions buffet you. 


As usual,  I prescribe music and meditation.  They really do help me stay in my body,  stay in myself, let go of the noise. But recently I went to a really excellent healing massage,  and he encouraged me to do a series of Sauna and Ice baths.  I was not sure,  but I trust him,  so I agreed to try.  Twenty minutes in the sauna is a long time to be in that dry heat,  but one minute in the ice bath is much longer!  I only made it for 25 seconds the first time I tried,  but I returned the next week,  and knowing what to expect,  I forced myself to say in that icy water for a full minute.  I really did feel better afterwards,  a bit like I had rebooted myself.   

So if you are looking for something new to try,  give it a chance.

The Last Suit - Pentacles


Oh my goodness, we are finally here – this is the last suit of the Tarot. Fourteen more cards and then the entire deck (all 78 cards) will have been covered. Very happy about that! Also happy to end with the Pentacles, a suit that is grounded, practical, down to earth, deals with money and work and real life. Pentacles deal with results, manifestation and prosperity (always welcome!) Pentacles can appear as crystals, coins, jewels, discs, gold or even shells, in various tarot decks.
