Okay, so I’ve been getting into tarot lately, and I wanted to share my experience with a specific card – the Two of Swords, and specifically, the advice it offers. I’m no expert, but this is just my personal take on it.
My Two of Swords Experiment
I’ve been feeling super stuck lately, facing a tough decision, a real crossroads. Classic Two of Swords situation, right? It felt like whatever I chose, I’d be losing something. My mind was a total mess, going back and forth, weighing pros and cons until I was exhausted. So, I decided to try and use the tarot, I pulled the Two of Swords card.
First, I just looked at the card. You know, the woman, blindfolded, holding those two swords crossed in front of her. It immediately resonated. That feeling of being blocked, of not being able to see a clear path – that was me. I spent a good few minutes just staring, letting the image sink in.
Then, I started journaling. I wrote down everything that was swirling around in my head about the decision – all the fears, the hopes, the “what ifs.” I didn’t try to organize it, just a total brain dump. This took a while, and honestly, it was kind of painful to see it all laid out like that.
After the brain dump, I went back to the card. This time, I focused on the advice aspect. The Two of Swords often points to a need for stillness, for a pause. It’s not about making a decision right now, but about getting to a place of inner peace so you can make a clear decision later.
- I decided to try a short meditation. Nothing fancy, just 10 minutes of focusing on my breath. It was surprisingly hard to quiet my mind, but I stuck with it.
- Then, I did something I wouldn’t normally do – I asked a friend for their perspective. Not for them to tell me what to do, but just to listen and offer a different viewpoint. I choose a friend that I trust and I know she won’t judge me.
- I listened to her perspective, and it helped me so much.
The biggest takeaway from this whole Two of Swords “experiment” wasn’t some magical solution. It was the realization that I needed to give myself space. I needed to stop forcing a decision and instead, focus on calming my inner turmoil. It’s still a process, and I haven’t made the “big decision” yet, but I feel like I’m in a much better place to eventually do so. It’s like the card helped me see that sometimes, the best action is inaction – at least for a little while.
