Even if youвЂ™re not into exercise, getting into nature is still a good idea, getting you out of your head and opening up other kinds of awareness. If you enjoy exercise, then physical activity вЂ“ the kind that requires no thought вЂ“ is recommended now. Allow your mind to be still as you do something magical, or creative, or devotional, something that comes from a place other than the mind. If there are spiritual practices that you find calming, do these. Slow things down by getting rid of the incessant need to click and scroll, close your eyes, or lift them to the horizon outside. Or get off the internet entirely вЂ“ sometimes you can just get too much information. Again, unfollow, unfriend, mute or block. Like the Two, the Four of Swords applies its lesson to online life. Stop for a moment and have a quiet cup of tea. Your may have suffered injury to your pride or self-esteem, but the V of Swords is also a warning of a potential to get caught in the cycle. It is likely that the defeat will be traumatic, and you will need to retreat and regroup. Worse yet, it is closely associated with defeat. Practice basic self-care, especially if you feel stressed right now. This card indicates conflict in your life. The Four of Swords can be a holiday or a change of scene. If youвЂ™re deep in studies, if youвЂ™ve been engaged in some kind of battle, give yourself a break and allow your mind some time to recuperate. It says вЂњhey, youвЂ™re tired! Take a break.вЂќД¬hill out.

This card often appears when a person is tired.

The Four of Swords can lead us to a deeper spiritual practice, allowing us to overcome a chattering, worrying ego and feel peaceful and connected.

We tune out from the bustle and in to a more spiritual, inner peace. Sometimes showing a person resting inside a church interior, it points to the kind of rest we can get when our souls are at peace. This card is imbued with a spiritual tranquility and stillness. (In this sense, the Four of Swords can point to creativity and lateral thinking.) It is in periods of rest that some of the best ideas are born, when the mind is left to its own imaginative devices and has the space to process in its own way. You donвЂ™t reach your answers by only thinking, thinking, thinking, but by thinking, resting, then maybe thinking some more. Like our bodies, our minds need rest in order to recuperate strength. Like the Two, the Four of Swords is about quieting your mind.
