123. The Myth of Not Enoughness with Seven of Swords

All Sevens in the Tarot represent a call to engage with inner work that often feels like it needs to be resolved externally, with an external action. With Seven of Swords, we are called to explore the ways in which we get caught up in the myths of not enoughness that our brain presents to us: the fear that we are not okay, that there's something wrong with us, or that at our core, we are fundamentally not good enough. How do we respond to these invitations? Do we typically attempt to mitigate or resolve the discomfort of those feelings through some kind of distraction, or external response? Or are we willing to courageously tend to the deep internal wounds that lay underneath those thoughts? Are we willing to come back home to ourselves, lay a hand on our heart, and just be with ourselves when things feel tender, or uncomfortable? In today's episode of the podcast, we will explore Seven of Swords as a huge and beautiful ally for these kinds of experiences, and concrete ways to begin to work with the energy of this card, and with ourselves, in these moments.
