Okay, here’s my blog post about “Four of Swords Feelings,” written from my personal experience and in a casual, conversational tone, just like the example:
So, the other day I pulled the Four of Swords in a reading, and it got me thinking about how that card really feels in practice. It’s not always as straightforward as the books make it seem.
My First Experience
I remember the first time I really connected with this card. I wasn’t going through some huge crisis. Actually, It was a period I was feeling a bit overwhelmed.
I decided to do a simple three-card spread. I don’t even remember the other two cards, because the Four of Swords jumped out at me. At first, I was like, “Huh? Am I supposed to take a nap?” It felt a bit… boring.
Digging Deep into Feeling
- First time, It was feeling not right.
- Second time, I did some meditation.
- Eventually, It’s a relief.
But I sat with it. I closed my eyes, took some deep breaths, and really tried to feel the card’s energy. It wasn’t dramatic. It was this quiet sense of needing to step back. Not in a defeated way, but more like…hitting the pause button. I had been pushing myself to do all these things, to be super productive, and the card was like, “Chill, dude. It’s okay to just be for a bit.”
The Final Results
And you know what? It was exactly what I needed. I gave myself permission to do absolutely nothing that evening. I didn’t check my email, I didn’t worry about my to-do list, I just… existed. And it was surprisingly restorative. It wasn’t exciting, but it was necessary.
So, for me, the Four of Swords isn’t about grand gestures. It’s about that internal feeling of needing to withdraw, recharge, and give yourself a break. It’s the quiet whisper that says, “It’s okay to rest. You’ve earned it.” And sometimes, that’s the most powerful message of all.
