Tarot Affirmations: Five of Cups Meditation for Acceptance

About: Tarot Affirmations are positive statements using the Tarot, to center ourselves while energizing our Mojo! My goal is to help invigorate higher vibrations with creative visualization for self-awareness, while enhancing one's perspective, confidence, and productivity. Becoming part of the imagery is a necessity as it allows all senses to be encountered. Proclaiming and vocalizing your personal statement out-loud 'seals your agreement' with the Universe. Disciplined practitioners sense a significant change within seventy-two hours of repeating the oath. Inexperienced users must understand that it can take a little longer until you find your own rhythm to encounter the magic of will and assertion.

Quiet: Sit for a few minutes alone, with eyes closed and a goal to relax. Calm all thoughts and emotions until you are aware of the quietness that surrounds you. With slow and deep breaths, feel yourself float into this calm energy, feeling your body and mind also adjusting to this quietness. All the noise disappears and you feel at peace. Pay attention to the soundless spirit, as you cleanse and exist with the silence.

Visualize: Today's card image will assist you in this meditative practice and affirmation. Normally, I'm a very 'hand's-on' person, so before we begin, I'd like to have you add a tool today, so have two glasses of water available. After the "Quiet" process, allow yourself to exit your world, so that you may connect with Five of Cups. Allow yourself to collect your thoughts and emotions regarding past memories that have caused you some sort of heartache. Using one hand, count on your fingers (up to five) unhappy experiences that have (or still) affected you deeply. Recall personal situations either with yourself, or with your relationships with another that had gone wrong in your life - where you have wished that it could have resulted in a different, more pleasant outcome. Once you have the painful memories that you want to use...

Concentrate by starting with your thumb, saying out-loud:
"I wish there could have been a more happier outcome with: (situation/person and why).
I confronted the problem, and did all that I could do to make it right."

Next, move to your pointing finger, with the next memory and say out-loud:
"I wish there could have been a more happier outcome with: (situation/person and why).
I confronted the problem, and did all that I could do to make it right."

And continue as needed...

When finished counting... be aware that what we have done is transferred old unhealthy emotions from your inner self, and shifted them to the tips of your fingers. Take a long deep breath so that you can feel how the heaviness has been removed. Taking one glass of water with you to the sink, tip the cup (to mimic the image). For each finger that holds toxic energy - gently spill water over an individual finger stating out-loud "I wash away misery, and accept the outcome". Visualize all of your suffering being rinsed away into the drain, once and for all. It is gone and unreachable. Feel the energy inside you now, as it feels lighter. Grab that other glass of water, and drink it's power in full - so that you completely flush your body and cleanse your mind from the last 30 minutes - and do not think about this practice for the next 30 minutes.

The Affirm: While being in-touch with yourself, announce your trusted affirmation:
Yesterday doesn't exist anymore.
I trust all of my decisions.
I live in the moment.

Now go get your mantra on!
