watercolors on vintage magazine pages

these are the colors of chakras

the lids will have mantras for each chakra and the hearts will have drawings of the symbol for each chakra

the lids will go on jars containing crystals and other items in the corresponding colors, and the hearts will either go in the jars or be attached in some way

this project is a great deal of fun!

10 of Swords! Hahaha, this deck knows me so well! I went to bed feeling like a victim, and I woke up still soaking in it, but I have turned my rage into patience and productive energy. That's one of the wonderful aspects of #tenofswords - knowing that enduring the challenge will result in both more experience and a new cycle. #themetamusetarot guidebook describes the positive aspects of the card beautifully: "You have fully realized the powers of duality in the mind, the great harm and great benefit it is capable of - the difference between assuming the role of a victim or a survivor. This card brings the gift of closure from a toxic situation."

Three of Swords: I love this card, but I still gasp a bit when I get it. It is usually not a heartbreak in the romantic sense; rather, I take it as an opportunity to see what communication types of ideas I've been entertaining and then figure out what to cut out of my thoughts. I made a decision I'm happy with and I feel lighter already! #tarotreading #tarotcard #tarotcommunity #threeofswords #metamusetarot https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdQdNsvpxu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

9 of Swords: OH anxious thoughts flitting about my brain, keeping me from quality sleep. And the waking anxiety that creeps in despite my focused breathing and meditation. What to do? Swords mean approaching situations using communication, thoughts, intellect. Write it out! I wrote about it in my journal and I made a plan to focus my thoughts, keep my energy up, and get a list going. Also, I'm posting this!

7 of Pentacles: lots of hard work paying off, but to continue this path or put energy into different projects? Venus in Pisces might have me doing the latter... #cardoftheday #tarotreading Deck: #themetamusetarot @the.meta.muse https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7tpZTyrTz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 19 & 20 of #selftember22  - STILLNESS & GUIDANCE Stillness: The Hanged Man "Sometimes the best action is no action..." - Kerry Krosgard in The Meta Muse Tarot guidebook Yesterday was a day of stillness for me. I considered making a separate post for this prompt, but I couldn't find the words or inspiration. I simply stayed relatively still, restored my energy, and waited for the Hanged Man energy to dissipate. Guidance: The Moon When I started paying attention to moon cycles and aligning my moods and physical symptoms with the different lunar phases, I gained incredible insight into myself. I know that a dark moon and the days leading up to the new moon will find me sluggish and crampy; a full moon challenges my ability to sleep but finds me more productive and creative. I am very grateful for my continued relationship with The Moon!

Day 17 & 18 of #selftember22 - RELEASE & AFFIRMATION Release: The Tower Build it up and watch it fall down. The devastation associated with The Tower results in a necessary release. Release what no longer serves you. Release the blockages that keep you from thriving. Mourn the loss and move on! Affirmation: Émile Coué was a French psychologist and pharmacist who developed a system of auto-suggestion that centered around the affirmation on this tag: EVERY DAY, IN EVERY WAY, I AM GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. My father introduced this affirmation to me when I was a kid and I was not ready for it. I even mocked him in a way, but then I grew up and realized the power of affirmations. I write this multiple times in my journal every day, and I repeat it in my head as I'm falling asleep. It is simple but powerful!

Day 16 of #selftember22 - INTUITION The card of inner knowledge and instincts, The High Priestess is the keeper of intuition and the subconscious. Trust your inner voice and enhance your intuition through meditation, journaling, divination, creating. Pay attention to your dreams and other signs from the universe!

Day 14 and 15 of #selftember22 - STRENGTH & AUTHENTIC STRENGTH This Strength card is from the wonderful Taylor Tarot and is a scene from the "Wildest Dreams" music video. Both the card and the video are stunning! I didn't have the mental fortitude to write about strength yesterday. I give in to lassitude very easily and I am okay with that. I need my little breaks! But I try to build my mental muscles by journaling and meditating every day. AUTHENTIC The Eight of Pentacles from the Meta Muse Tarot is a beautiful rendition of the "hard worker" card. The figure's devotion to his task is pure and true, a perfect representation of authenticity.

Day 13 of #selftember22 - OPTIMISM I am optimistic that you will love this beautiful card! Optimism requires an open mind and an open heart. Dedication to body, mind, and spirt enhances the likelihood of achieving the desired outcome. The rainbow of cups in this card reflects lasting happiness, satisfaction, and success in emotional matters. The scene of a happy family and cozy home on the water (more emotions!) represents the result of hard work and devotion, possibly fueled by optimism.

Day 11 of #selftember22 - HUMILITY Humility is freedom from pride, and the figures in the Five of Pentacles, often interpreted as the "dire straits" card, embody this sense. They are outside in a snow storm and injured bodily (and mentally and spiritually, hence their situation), but behind them is a church that can provide shelter and relief.They do not realize their true situation, and that may be because they are exhibiting too much humility. Being humble can be virtuous, but excessive humility can be a detriment. Find that balance: be proud but humble enough to accept help when you need it.

Day 10 of #selftember22 - WISDOM The Hierophant is an archetype of wisdom, knowledge, and teaching. This has been associated with traditional religious learning, but it can of course be applicable to any instance of the gleaning and sharing of wisdom. Ancient Wisdom from nature can be very grounding. Look to the trees and plants, to those who dwell in nature, to find the wisdom that has been with us for ages.

Day 9 of #selftember22 - COURAGE It takes a lot of courage for me to make some of these personal posts, as I have an element of posting anxiety. My Gemini Sun makes me a Swords magnet and I feel all the devastating aspects of this Air suit. My Moon in Aries wants to shine, but only inwardly, and my Pisces Rising wants to keep all these thoughts in my journal. I chose the Ten of Swords to represent these feelings. A little part of me dies every time I try to encapsulate what is on my mind, but I revel in the relief of putting my thoughts out into the world with the hope of helping someone who reads them.
