290. How to Cure FOMO. Tarot Card for June: 5 of Wands (2024)

0:00 It seems we have a theme for 2024. In the five of wands because the five of wands came back. We had this card in March and we now have it again in June. last month we were working with the hermit. We were working with remembering who we are. To know who we are fully and present that out into the world. The energies for June. Our back to that, scatteredness lack of focused. Which is a possibility it's all morning. Hey, make sure you're focusing. So that you keep everything. In alignment with who you really are.

0:41 As always I'm reading from the wild, unknown taro. Bye Kim Kranz and the five of ones we're going to review this again is scattered lack of focus, lost. The five of wands is a card of conflict. You may find yourself scattered, distracted, tending to everything and nothing. Since wants deal with our dreams and goals, it usually means this conflict resides within your energy moves, outward in many directions. Yet you are suffering inside. Take this card as a warning, find ways to bring calm and focus to your mind. Or these troubles will only increase. Mid-summer is a time where there is a lot of energy moving.

1:24 In all directions in all places, it seems like we're pulled to grad parties over here, weddings over there. Family reunions, friends gathering together, going out to the lake. There are so many different things that happen in the summer because. It's warm enough. The sun is out sometimes. And there's more light in the Northern hemisphere. So. It is very easy to get pulled away from. What we really need to be focusing on for our own inner growth and development, our own inner peace. If we could. Focus, maybe more on inner peace than in our development, we would develop, but in a way that.

2:07 Actually fulfills us rather than makes this feel like, well, I'm being productive today. And I still feel empty. I think a lot of people. Try, try, try so hard to do so many things. Yeah. We end up feeling like we've done nothing. And this card this month, it's a reminder to. Bring it back to your breath. Bring it back to your present moment. I'm thinking of that. Little story about the Zen master who's asked how are you, so. Calm and centered and enlightened. And his response was.

2:47 When I am walking. I am walking. When I'm eating. I am eating. When I am sleeping. I am sleeping. You get the point when I am doing something that is what I'm doing. And that means that is exactly what I am focused on. I've learned to bring this into my life in the way of. When I am somewhere. That is the place I want to be. Work. Most people go to work. Waiting for it to be over. I choose every moment of my life to be where I am. So when I go to work.

3:29 I am focusing my energy. My thoughts. Myself on. Being at work and doing work to the best of my ability. And it baffles people. How I keep my spirits up. I say it's because I don't want to be anywhere else. Right now, this is where I am. This is where I want to be. This is a really challenging concept, I think, to grasp and to embody and to live. It's taken me many years. And a lot of fights with FOMO. I just realized like, No I'm missing out. On my life.

4:10 When I'm in that experience of FOMO about something I'm not doing. That means I'm not present. To what I am doing. Right now. It cured my FOMO. Oh, you got to go see the full solar eclipse. That is amazing. Tell me about it. And then, you know what happened because I was there with that person when they were explaining it. I got to experience it. Just like I was there. Um, almost just like I was there. It. Is an art. It is a science. It is a practice to be. Focused. Exactly where you are. How do we practice this? Awareness.

4:51 But how do we practice awareness? For me, the best thing is meditation. Meditation, whether it's moving meditation, whether it's silent meditation, whether it's a breathing meditation, whether it's active meditation, like Kundalini yoga. Do something. With the intention and that holds within it, the intention. Of bringing yourself back to the present moment. Knowing that you're going to get polled. Knowing that your minds are going to wander off. And so the people that you met the other day and the dinner that you want to have, or the party you're throwing next week, whatever. Yes. You're going to get pulled away and scattered, but bring it back.

5:32 So practice. Coming back to this moment through. A practice. That holds within it, that intention. I would love to hear what your practices for this. You can reach me at Laura Christine dot. Us. I know I didn't go over last month's card this time, but you are more than welcome to go back and listen to that episode to get the energies. Of, I think it was the hermit and find out how you did re kind of re-evaluate reflect. And let's move forward. In focus. From here.

6:12 Until next time I'm sending all the love and then some more we'll talk. As soon.
