Four of Swords: Healing

Today calls for absolute rest and recuperation. This card is a sign that it’s time for you to prioritize downtime. Spending time relaxing is the healing that you need. Your restoration is essential — physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Remember also that taking care of yourself is a lot like having car insurance but for your inner and outer self. You wouldn’t drive your vehicle without this, so too you need to take care of yourself! 

Be Kind to Yourself  – Think of it as Car Insurance for Your Body, Heart and Soul!

Find solace in stillness as you go about your day. This may look like spending less time working, distancing yourself from a stressful situation, or simply taking a nap when you feel tired. Keep in mind the car insurance metaphor because this will serve you well. It is especially important to not over-exert yourself doing this time, as you are already running on empty. Taking time to “switch off” your engine will help you feel more energized in the days to come.

A temporary reprieve from your daily task and routine will also give you time for personal reflection. Often your feelings need time and space to emerge, as they are often disregarded in the hustle and bustle of life. Separating yourself from mundane concerns will allow for processing, integrating, and healing to occur.

Much is happening on a spiritual level in your time of nonaction, even if it doesn’t seem so at first. A time-out every so often should be welcomed as a much-needed break. You deserve this time of restoration. Grant yourself the leisure to rest, restore, and rejuvenate.
