Tarot Reading for when You can’t Sleep.

Last week I was having trouble going to sleep, and very much in Nine of Swords territory. Just as depicted on the tarot card I found myself lying awake in the middle of the night trying to figure out what went wrong and why?  

It had been one of those days when I had started off on the wrong foot. I’d rushed my morning ritual. I generally practice a bit of meditation, do a daily energy routine, may be do some journalling, to set myself up for the day, and as a consequence the day felt rushed from the beginning and ‘hadn’t gone well’. I was lying in bed tossing and turning, going over everything in my mind.

It was then that a wonderful piece of luck struck; really out of trying to find something to distract me rather than any real instinct I decided to listen to Meredith’s Tuesday teachings which had arrived in my inbox that day…it turned out synchronicity was at play.

You don’t have the advantage of listening to Meredith’s voice, and hearing her kindness, or have the advantage of having been a student of hers at the Stillpoint Institute of Energy Healing in 2001 and know her wisdom, so I will try to explain. Here is snippet of what she said.

‘Continual mental efforts to solve problems or reduce anxiety is a trap. It only perpetuates the racing of our thoughts. Not trying to figure things out, actually gives rise to our genuine creative natures. Problems are solved and anxiety reduced when we’re looking the other way.

Take a breath and put your hands over your deep heart – your touch point with spirit. Let thoughts soften and your true creative-self rise up to meet you and carry you through the day.’

Lying there I consciously tuned into my physical heart and let myself soften (how lovely to be reminded to be kind to oneself) and instantly started to relax as I connected the hand on my heart, and the self who loves to be met by peace and appreciation; who wants to feel enough, to my ‘deep heart’ and perhaps Spirit, I don’t know exactly and I don’t need to know.   All I do know is that I was instantly comforted, dissatisfaction and anxiety dissolved, and I could take a deep breath in and breathe out a huge sigh of relief.  I was home.  A few more deep breaths and deep sighs out and I drifted off.  Just like that. It was a miracle.

Thank you dear Meredith for your cornflower blue eyes and lovely smile and deep heart.

I will be passing this practice on to any friends and clients who get the Nine of Swords in a tarot reading and are having sleepless nights.

Something else wonderful to listen to Soygal Rinpoch, the great bell chant to ‘Rest in natural great peace’.

So often having a tarot reading puts things in perspective and opens up our own creative possibilities. As anxiety and concerns are put to rest we can get a good night’s sleep. Do have a Tarot Reading with Sue.
