You can’t analyze your way out of the realm of emotion…
For those who live with emotional intensity, your own strong feelings and everything you sense coming from others, you know the signs. Your throat becomes tight, your face flushes, belly ties up in knots or your muscles contract.
Here it comes! The flood of emotions. At that moment, your powerful mind tries to intervene.
Press pause, press pause!
Maybe I can think my way out of this. I’m just going to ignore the signs, move on already. Damn, feelings are so uncomfortable.
The mental realm has its perks. We’ve lived there as a human species for quite some time now, preferring to see ourselves as elevated, conscious minds interacting, rising above our ‘base’ instincts.
Still, there’s no way to analyze your way out of the realm of emotion. And you shouldn’t even try.
In tarot, your mind is the element of air. Sometimes light and fleeting, other times a gathering thundercloud, becoming more and more intense. Your mind helps you make sense of the world, puts the pieces of the puzzle together, finds solutions. Go air!
