Day 4 — The Empress
22-days of Tarot: Returning to self-trust
Tarot is a cyclical map that guides us back to ourself over and over again.
The Empress is the return to nourishment. Self-trust grows best in a body that feels safe to receive. This card reminds you that you are not meant to be fueled by pressure alone. You are meant to be supported — by rest, by pleasure, by beauty, by softness. The Empress teaches that your needs are not inconveniences; they are instructions. When you honor them, you become more intuitive, more steady, more you. The journey back to self-trust is also a journey back to your natural rhythms: hunger, fullness, excitement, fatigue — messages that help you come home.
Reflection: What does my body keep asking me for that I keep delaying?
Somatic practice: Wrap your arms around yourself and gently sway. Breathe into your back body. Let your jaw soften. Tell your nervous system: You are allowed to be cared for.
Mantra: I let myself be nourished.
Thank you for being here.
You don’t have to do 22 days perfectly. You just have to return.
Quick start (2 steps):
Choose one line from today that felt true in your body.
Repeat today’s somatic practice + mantra for 3 days. (Repetition builds safety faster than “doing it all.”)
Next best step (optional):
If you want gentle, consistent nervous system support between posts, my Somatic Video Library Membership ($17/month) is a low-pressure way to keep practicing with me in real time.
