Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into tarot lately, and the Queen of Cups keeps popping up. I figured, why not really try to connect with her energy? So, I decided to do a little “Queen of Cups intentions” experiment. Here’s how it went down:
Getting Started
First, I cleared my space. You know, the usual – lit some incense, put on some chill music, and made sure my cat wouldn’t interrupt (that’s a whole other kind of energy!). Then, I grabbed my favorite tarot deck and pulled out the Queen of Cups.
Setting the Mood
I spent a good few minutes just looking at the card. Really taking in the imagery – the calm water, her serene expression, the cup she’s holding. I tried to feel into her vibe, you know? Calm, compassionate, intuitive. That’s what I wanted to bring into my own life.
My Intentions List
Next, I grabbed my journal and started writing down some intentions. I didn’t want to get too complicated, so I focused on a few key areas:
- Be more compassionate with myself – you know, less self-criticism.
- Listen to my intuition more – trust those gut feelings.
- Approach situations with more empathy – see things from other people’s perspectives.
- Nurture my creative side – make time for art and writing.
The Ritual (Kind Of)
I wouldn’t call it a full-blown ritual, but I did hold the Queen of Cups card in my hands, closed my eyes, and repeated my intentions a few times. I visualized myself embodying those qualities, feeling that calm, queen-like energy within me. Cheesy, maybe, but it felt good!
Putting It into Practice
The real work, of course, is in the follow-through. So, throughout the day, I tried to be mindful of my intentions. When I felt that inner critic creeping in, I reminded myself to be compassionate. When I had a decision to make, I paused and listened to my gut. I even made time to do some watercolor painting, which I haven’t done in ages!
The Results (So Far)
Honestly, it’s been a pretty chill day. I feel more grounded, more connected to myself. I wouldn’t say I’ve magically transformed into the Queen of Cups, but I definitely feel a shift. It’s like I’ve opened myself up to that energy, and it’s starting to flow in. I’m going to keep working with this, maybe make it a weekly thing. It’s a nice little reminder to be kind to myself and trust my inner wisdom.
