Using Tarot as a guide for self-help purposes
Four of Swords
​
Anxiety and Depression
Rejuvenation
The Four of Swords in the tarot portrays a period of rest, recuperation, and introspection. Its imagery invites us to retreat into solitude, seeking respite from life's pressures to restore our health.
In the realm of depression and anxiety, the Four of Swords beckons a much-needed break from the relentless demands of the mind. It may manifest as mental exhaustion, overwhelm, or burnout, prompting a longing for peace and quietude. By withdrawing from external stressors and fostering inner stillness, one can gain perspective, and renewed energy to confront life's challenges.
Activity ~ Disconnect to reconnect
Disconnect from the noise and distractions of the outside world to reconnect with your inner essence. Consider taking some time away from screens and technology for an extended period - if that feels challenging, perhaps you could start with an hour or two. Immerse yourself in nature or engage in soothing activities like reading, meditating, or practising mindfulness that rest your soul and replenish your spirit.
