Ten of Swords, Oppositions Tarot

"Ready to change the future for the better"

The first steps after processing feelings of sadness and loss can feel heavy.
After having let ourselves 'hit the bottom' - finding the source of our feelings - it can feel as if there's 'a long way up'.
But when 'doing it right' it isn't necessarily so.
If we truly see, accept and embrace our feelings at the root, at the core wound - let all feelings go through their cycles and waves to the end - they have a tendence to 'vaporize'. 
The first steps can still feel heavy, but the ones following it soon feels lighter.
And the more one practices this process the quicker it goes. 

Again, the most important thing is to be gentle with ourselves.
Take all the steps slowly, with pauses. Not just get up and hurry on.
Like we would do coming out after a cold or something.

One mindful step at the time, making sure 'all parts of us' are on board.
It may sound like 'progress like a sloth', but in fact - this is the fastest way to do something.
Doing things with awareness and many pauses.
It's also the path of ensuring we don't waste our precious unique energy, but invest it in stuff meant for US.
By taking our time, and always 'checking in with our system for responses' we know.
We just know.
Eventually at least. 
It make take time before we hear the subtle signs of our bodies if we've never listened.
That's were the pause truly do magic.
Or the use of Tarot, dreams, astrology, Human Design and Gene Keys if there are many layers of #conditioning or trauma responses to 'cut through'.

Or, discerning between 'opposing forces' - when the ego/head tricks us into believing they are our Higher Selves, so our 'certainty' is as strong as an opposing force in the body.
If one is habitually used to listening to the head it's quite the challenge to break the pattern, or 'get it to shut up' for long enough for us to realize that our bodies always speaks to us.
The voice can 'sound wise' and appear as the intense sharp 'fatherly figure' we see in the card.
But the voice from our bodies, our souls and the universe is soft, oh so soft.
That's how one knows.
