The schizophrenia card has been showing up in my spreads lately. It was in the last Tarot Tuesday spread, in a reading with a 1:1 client, in one of my #cardoftheday pulls, and here it is again. Clearly we need to look at this card. While tarot speaks to us through metaphors and archetypes, I think it's important to look at the decision to use this term "schizophrenia" because the true intention behind the 2 of Swords (here as the Osho Zen Tarot 2 of Clouds) is to highlight the concept of "duality". While I haven't deeply researched schizophrenia, I feel confident to say there's a big difference. A simple definition of duality refers to the concept of holding on to two seeming opposite truths as reality: yin and yang, good and evil... This card refers to the challenge of making the decision between two choices. This is an important point: "the challenge of making the decision." This card points to a choice. From my limited understanding of people dealing with schizophrenia, choice has been taken away. ::

I mention this because I don't want to foster a space where terms to describe mental health are used casually. Mental health is a serious topic that deserves respect. And so this is my attempt. If I've missed the mark on this topic, please let me know. I'm ready to learn. Let's have an educational discussion. ::
::
A big thank you to The IN Crowd member, @pmateini for bringing this topic to my attention. If anything like this ever comes up again, I hope you'll also let me know. ::

Here are your stone results, and suggestions on how to approach the cards:
🔮🔮
Stones: 1. Blue kyanite 2. Labradorite 3. Selenite 4. Green aventurine
🔮🔮
Cards and stones: Contemplate what the image or word on the card means to you. If you need a deeper interpretation, read what others are saying in the comments, or just ask and I’ll help you out. I also suggest Googling the meaning of the stone for deeper insight. Ask yourself: is there a connection between the card and the stone? What does it mean in relation to the insight I was seeking? ::

It’s a dark rainy Tarot Tuesday here in Korea. Need to shed some light on your day? Pick a card and see what comes up. Here’s how to participate:
1. Think of something you’d like to receive more insight about. 2. Choose one card/stone. Pick cards or stones that resonate with you. 3. Post the number of the cards/stones you chose in the comment section. In the next 24 hours, I’ll “like” your comment. That will be your hint to check The IN Crowd or my Instagram page for the results. 4. When you see the revealed card, contemplate what the image or word on the card means to you. If you need a deeper interpretation, read what others are saying, or just ask and I’ll help you out. I also suggest Googling the meaning of the stone for deeper insight. 💜::

To have a deeper conversation about the meaning of the cards, join my Facebook group, The “IN” Crowd, by clicking on the link in my bio.
On January 30, 2018, two months after our little one was born, I made the social media declaration, “Today I’m starting a new Tuesday tradition: #TarotTuesday. This will be a place where we can gain insight into questions we’re asking or problems we’re facing.” I never could have imagined where this was going to take me almost a year later. Tarot Tuesday has maintained its momentum and has even had to expand into a private space. ::
::
I wanted to create a safe space for women to share the insights that came from their cards. I didn’t feel my personal Facebook page (where my Tarot Tuesdays were happening) was the appropriate place for women to share and expand their self-awareness. This is why I created The IN Crowd Facebook group. Now, not only do we get to explore tarot cards on Tuesdays, but we also: ::
::
* have Thursday Truths where I do a live oracle readings for anyone who's on at the time and requests a reading.
* have the Friday Smile Day tradition to visually support maintaining a joyous perspective on life with this Friday.
* participate in live guided meditations on special occasions throughout the year. * share our curiosity and interest in living full spiritual lives.
* learn to love and appreciate ourselves.
* connect to what it means to identify with the mind, body, and soul of a woman.

And if you’re curious about what IN refers to in the title of the group, I’ll be sharing that in another post this week. 😉
