Another very interesting #TarotTuesday today. I’ve noticed a pattern between last week and this week. I’d be curious to know if you catch it too. 😉 It’s definitely shaking things up for me.

If you’re new to Tarot Tuesday, 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. 💜

Day 2 of hitting the meditation pillow - Before the little one was born, almost a year ago, I did my best to meditate everyday. I committed to at least 5 minutes a day because the ideal of meditating longer than that stressed me out. It’s not that I couldn’t sit for longer, it’s that the “should” of sitting for longer was too heavy. “Good meditators should sit for at least 20 minutes a day twice a day. It’s the only way to see real results.” I finally got tired of that pressure and let it go. 5 minutes would have to do. And it did. Over time I noticed I felt more centered and at ease. ::

But then came the baby. And while I joked that breastfeeding meditation was my new practice, it just wasn’t the same. I craved the solitude and focus. For some reason I thought this was over for me. Now I see why. I was listening to another “should.” “Good meditators should meditate before the day starts. Meditate before exchanging your energy with someone else. Meditate before breakfast. And for God’s sake, meditate before checking social media.” Well, I just meditated after doing all those things and, damn, it feels good. ::

How about you? Do you have any “shoulds” around your meditation practice?

This is one of the most valuable, and most challenging, lessons I’ve ever tried to learn. I’ve been working on it since 2007 when I was first introduced to @donmiguelruiz’s Four Agreements. For a recovering people pleaser, it hasn’t been easy, but it’s definitely worth it. Life is much lighter when you’re not weighed down by perceived judgments.
