Alright, let’s talk about my session with the Sun card today. Woke up feeling a bit foggy, you know? Just one of those days. So, I figured I needed a dose of clarity, something bright. The Sun card popped into my head.
First thing, I went over to my little corner where I keep my decks. Grabbed my trusty old Rider-Waite. It’s beat up, yeah, but feels right in my hands. I didn’t do a full shuffle and draw. Nah, I just went straight for it. Flipped through the Major Arcana until I found The Sun. Pulled it out.
Then, I just sat there for a bit, holding the card. Looked at it. Really looked at it. The kid on the horse, the big smiling sun, the sunflowers. Simple stuff, right? But I tried to just let the image sink in. Didn’t try to force any deep meanings or anything. Just observed.
My Actual Process
Here’s basically what I did, step-by-step:
- Sat down comfortably at my desk. Quiet space, mostly.
- Held the Sun card in both hands for maybe five minutes.
- Focused on my breathing, trying to clear out that morning fog I mentioned.
- Looked closely at the details on the card. The child’s expression – pure joy, no worries. The horse – steady, white, pure. The sun itself – radiating energy.
- Asked myself a simple question, kinda whispered it: “What simple joy or truth am I missing right now?”
- Didn’t expect a booming voice answer, just let the question hang there while looking at the card.
After that quiet time, I propped the card up on my monitor stand. Decided to keep it in my sight for the rest of the morning while I worked on some emails and boring stuff.
What Happened Next?
Honestly, nothing earth-shattering. But, having that card there, it was like a little reminder. Every time my eyes drifted to it, I felt a tiny lift. It sounds corny, maybe. But seeing that image of pure, uncomplicated happiness… it kinda cut through the gloom a little.
I noticed I was less likely to grumble about annoying emails. I found myself thinking, “Okay, what’s the straightforward way to handle this?” instead of overcomplicating things. It seemed to nudge me towards simplicity and just getting things done without a fuss.
By lunchtime, that foggy feeling was mostly gone. Didn’t solve all my problems, obviously, it’s just a piece of cardboard. But the focused attention on its energy, its vibe? Yeah, that actually helped shift my perspective for the day. It was a good, simple practice. Sometimes that’s all you need.
