Sometimes our thoughts can be scattered and the 4 of Swords is all about reeling in those thoughts for a much needed break. (This image is from the Starman Tarot.) Four is a number that represents balance, so the thing to do is to gather yourself so that your mind is not racing.
Many times, we think of our thoughts in terms of words, such as in talking to ourselves or replaying conversations in our minds. Ideally, the goal of meditation is to rid yourself of such thoughts.
One technique of meditation is to sit quietly or lay down, whichever is most comfortable for you, or get into any meditative pose you prefer. Let your thoughts come to you but try not to let them come to you in the form of words.
What are your thoughts if there are no words attached to them? They may appear as an emotion or a sensation in your body. Don’t try to define exactly what that feeling is. Just let it flow in and out at will—wordlessly. Soon the only thing left for you to pay attention to is your breathing, which is all you need.
Please feel free to share your thoughts on meditation and meditation techniques. Have a great day.
