We talked about rest a few episodes ago in The Art of Just Hanging, but today I want to dive into the idea that sometimes, what we say is resting, is actually an act of avoidance.

  • What is avoidance?
  • Avoidance vs Rest
  • How it shows up in our lives, and why it's such an important thing to bring awareness to
  • Cards that show up to represent the act of avoidance (and what they encourage us to do instead)


Tarot Cards & Decks Used

  • Four of Cups: apathy, emotional numbness, disconnection, indifference, boredom, the blahs (see photo)
  • Seven of Cups: choices, different opportunities, wishful thinking, emotional overwhelm, indecision, fantasy, illusions (see photo)
  • Eight of Swords: trapped, victim mentality, stuck in thought patterns, limiting beliefs, powerless (see photo)
  • Five of Pentacles: loss, poverty, isolation, lack mindset, low energy, hardship, struggle  (see photo)
  • The Devil: self-limiting beliefs, powerlessness, lack of control, distraction, temptation, bad habits, codependency (see photo)
