Day 9 — Strength
22-days of Tarot: Returning to self-trust
Tarot is a cyclical map that guides us back to ourself over and over again.
Strength is the moment you stop fighting yourself. This is soft power — compassion that doesn’t collapse. Returning to self-trust means learning how to stay with your feelings without becoming them. Strength teaches you to meet fear like a beloved animal: with patience, respect, and steady breath. You don’t need to overpower your inner world to lead it. When you soothe yourself, you become safe to yourself. And when you become safe to yourself, your intuition gets louder.
Reflection: What part of me is asking for gentleness instead of criticism?
Somatic practice: Hand on heart. Inhale for 4, exhale for 6. On each exhale, soften your shoulders and whisper: I’m here.
Mantra: My gentleness is my strength.
Thank you for being here.
If this landed, let it be simple.
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.
