Express Yourself

Cultivate Your Passion

This card encourages you to pursue an area of interest or undertake a project that you’ve been putting off. You may have struggled to move forward, express your feelings or summon creative energy. It is not time to hold yourself back. Settle any doubt that you are not good enough. You have something unique and valuable to give to the world. So, let go of fear, delve into inspiration, explore your passions and learn the necessary skills to flourish in a world of your creation.

You are being asked to find healthier ways to express and regulate your emotions. Whether through dance, painting, massage, cooking, or other stimulating pursuits, find emotional outlets that you can engage in regularly. Healthy avenues for self-expression can help us moderate our emotions. What activity can you do today to externalize and process negative emotions? Ask yourself this question every day and you will soon begin to move beyond them.

You may also feel guided to explore your feelings around communicating with direct or aggressive people. Consider what your relationship with your parents was like when you were younger. Did you feel like you were heard, acknowledged, accepted and encouraged? If not, some inner child work may help to heal and transform any unhealthy blockages that may have developed.

Become aware of your inner guidance and give your intuitive self a voice. When insight comes, listen. Creative activity and emotional expression connect you to your body’s deeper guidance. Be sure to acknowledge and act on it.

Healing Practice

To integrate the guidance of this card, you may wish to perform one or both of the following healing practices.

Energy Healing for Releasing Negativity

Sit or stand comfortably. Focus on your arms. Gently shake them. As you do, imagine you are freeing all the stress, fear and negativity from your body. Imagine that negativity flying out of you and being consumed by a cleansing purple fire.

Shake your arms for thirty seconds. Stop for fifteen seconds. Repeat three to five times until your arms feel lighter.

Alternatively, you can gently massage your arms or ask someone to massage them for you. Use the above visualization and continue the massage until your arms feel relaxed.

Revel in the lightness of your being.

Energy Healing for Self-Expression

Stand comfortably. Breathe deeply and slowly. Relax your arms, shoulders, hands and fingers. Imagine pale streams of orange energy flowing from the tips of your fingers to your shoulders, through your torso and into your heart. The orange energy brings a sense of love, nourishment and creative inspiration. Circulate the energy into your throat and shoulders and down your arms to your hands and fingers.

Hold this energy within you. Let it fill you with confidence. Imagine conversing easily with others, flawlessly articulating your thoughts and opinions with love, without fear or censure.

You are wholly yourself.
