Four of Swords Now Wisdom

REST

RECUPERATION

RETREAT

HEALING

The Four of Swords suggests that order & structure are needed at this time in order to regroup.  The four swords indicate STILLNESS & recuperation after a battle.  This card denotes the calm after a heavy storm.  It indicates an OPPORTUNITY to take a well-earned BREAK after some struggles & RECHARGE our batteries, either by CHOOSING to spend this reflective time ALONE or by having isolation imposed.  Either way, it is EXACTLY what is NEEDED at this time.  

Here we see a noble Knight lying on his tomb inside of a Church, his hands clasped in prayer. Three swords hang over him & the fourth is fastened to his tomb. An air of complete stillness, and calm pervades this serene scene.

This card providing further insight of what forward moving steps are taking place following the Five of Cups shared inside Enchanting Babble a moment ago.

The FOUR of Swords indicates a phase of RECOVERY/HEALING after a period of EMOTIONAL or physical turmoil.  Often this means spending time ALONE in deep contemplation, so that we can come to terms with recent experiences that have weighed heavy on our soul.  There are many ways to plug away & get away from it all & it does not have to involve taking a vacation or a retreat.. although if you could.. please by all means.. Do go.. lol Even time alone in your bedroom or on a park bench... maybe even a nice power walk to get the mindfulness stillness circulating... 

Getting lost inside of a book may spark a lot of inner quest and search ..

a little inspiration can always go a long way... 

It is time to recoup our energies & take a much needed step BACK from recent painful experiences - if this painful experience involves a loss of some kind the Four of Swords indicates a period of mourning so that we can begin to HEAL.  Whatever our experience, this card suggests that what is REQUIRED is a period of intentional ISOLATION so that we can PREPARE for & WELCOME a NEW DYNAMIC into our lives.  

BREATHE...

BREATHE Peace into your bodily existence & EXHALE every ounce of woe as you FEEL yourself LET GO, knowing that this mental RELAXATION time is exactly the SELF LOVING seed you need to plant for yourself as you proceed to move FORWARD in a most POSITIVE LIGHT. 

You would BENEFIT from much needed alone time gifting yourself a period of mental relaxation.  You may have been ill & have endured a stressful situation/time - and this will give you a CHANCE to regroup and will give you the SPACE to look after your own EMOTIONAL & PHYSICAL needs. You have to recover your mental buoyancy & your physical VITALITY and the ONLY way to do this is by giving yourself a TIME OUT.  

This is an EXCELLENT moment to LOOK WITHIN and put recent events into perspective. It is important that you do not try to BUSY yourself with activities, cause that would be you just AVOIDING your own self and needs.  This is an opportune time to put your HOUSE in order.  It is only by being STILL that you will regain your equilibrium and be READY to ENTER the fray once more.

Amen
