The Four of Cups

[wdi_feed id=”2″]

Today’s card is the 4 of Cups.

There is a lot to this card. They call it the Lord of Luxury. It talks about becoming stagnant in different areas of your life.

I’ll start off with spirituality. If we tend to get too deep into our meditation practice, seclusion, contemplation… the water of life doesn’t flow. Loneliness settles in. We’ve gone so deep into our heads that we’ve got to get out there in the world and truly experience why we are here. We are here to experience, to love, be loved, and to share our gifts with the world.

This brings us to love. What aspects of your life are you not allowing love in? I understand this all too well right now. My last relationship ended 4 or so months ago. Although people have entered my life since then I have put up a ‘Do Not Enter’ sign to protect myself.
This is understandable to an extent. What I mean is that I was blocking ALL love, mostly because love equated sex. Twisted, I know… but when you come from a family that barely wants to pat you on the back, affection feels foreign. I’ve mentioned before that is why I’m more comfortable on stage hidden behind a microphone than off stage, naked to the world.

I’ve realized now that receiving love doesn’t mean you have to sleep with that person, or be in a relationship with them.
The art of giving and receiving is the lesson we must learn here. Receiving is important but all too often people give EXPECTING something in return, and vise versa.

Today, get out in the world. Get out of your shell. Go hug somebody just for the sake of allowing them to receive love, and allowing yourself to give of yourself. It might be scary, but do it anyway. You can meditate until the cows come home but getting out and experiencing is what your spiritual practice is all about.

Peace!
