​Emotional Regulation and Mindfulness
Emotional Awareness

 

The High Priestess represents intuition, inner wisdom, and the balance between opposing forces, like light and dark or the conscious and unconscious. In the context of emotional awareness, this card serves as a guide, urging us to turn inward and explore the depths of our emotions. It reminds us that true understanding comes from within, through careful attention to the subtle feelings and insights that often go unnoticed in our busy lives.

 

Emotional awareness begins with recognising and accepting our feelings as they arise, without judgement or suppression. Much like the High Priestess balances the seen and unseen, emotional regulation involves balancing what we consciously feel with the underlying subconscious emotions driving our reactions. By paying attention to these hidden emotional currents, we become more attuned to our core motivations and underlying emotions, which helps in identifying triggers and patterns in our behaviour. This awareness enables us to respond to situations with greater thoughtfulness, rather than reacting impulsively.

 

Meditation ~ Settle into a quiet space, be still and allow yourself to feel what arises, noticing the subtle emotions beneath the surface. Take the time to trust your intuition, as you explore the balance between your conscious thoughts and hidden feelings as you meditate. To bring the meditation to a close, notice your breath and gently bring your awareness back to the present moment.
