Online card reading – playfulness
In an earlier post, I talked about giving angel card readings and how the same card is often pulled out a number of times from the deck. I decided to give readers of this blog a one-card reading and, true to form, I got the same card two out of three times I asked the question. And the card is (insert drum roll)…. playfulness.
(Post Script: I wrote this entry this morning and before being able to post it, I have given two readings - not surprisingly, both people pulled out this card!)
The playfulness card is a reminder to not take our lives or ourselves too seriously, that it is important to be playful. Kids are wonderful examples of this. They are forever playing and doing what makes them feel good in any given moment. They aren’t afraid to try something new and, if they change their mind, they simply go on to the next thing which makes them happy without a second thought.
When we face pressing issues or problems, or are trying to make or resist changes in our lives, we tend to put having fun aside. We think we can’t have fun until we sought out the problem or come up with a solution or find a way to manage the change. What my guides tell me is that it’s far more useful to invest that time and energy into making ourselves feel good, to allow our inner child to be playful. In doing so, we will actually be better able to tackle our situation. However, we’re programmed to think we have to work harder, to do more and to push further. If you find that’s not working for you, at least give this a go. After all, if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got!
Being playful forces us out of our heads and dims the ‘mind chatter’ – that constant barrage of thoughts which are no doubt turning molehills into insurmountable mountains of problems. Being playful helps us feel lighter, makes us laugh, helps us take ourselves less seriously and also helps restore our energy. It is usually when we stop thinking about our problems and turn our attention to something else that we actually open ourselves up to receiving the ideas or inspiration we’ve been looking for.
