When the Queen of Swords enters the chat, emotions evaporate. When triggers threaten your emotional stability, lean on this energy. Hard. They call her the Ice Queen, for good reason. She knows the truth: she is not her emotions. The Ice Queen has the ability to *examine* her emotions and the cause, then *decide* how she's going to respond. She doesn't immediately react; she has far too much self-control for that. But she doesn't control her emotions by suppressing them either. She masters her *mind* where she has all the power and authority; emotions flow naturally from there because that's how the brain works. Elisheva’s Retreat aims to help guide trauma survivors into the Garden via: ✧ Belief Restructuring ✧ Nervous System Regulation ✧ Neuroplasticity Trauma rewires the brain. I've spent the last three years heavily focused on rewiring my brain. I went from crying and shaking uncontrollably when triggered, even with a system pumped full of depression and anxiety meds, to not needing meds at all and being unshakable. My healing journey began on May 31, 2022; my story continued. Now, I'm strong enough to go back into the fire and help others extinguish the flames consuming them. I want that level of security for others. I've got it down to a science, and I created this community on Skool to break ground. Idk what's next, but I'm here for it. And that's everything. The beacon is lit. The gate is open. I do not ask that you worship my fire; I'm handing you the matches and standing guard while you build your own. #TendYourWell #TraumaInformed #tarotfortraumarecovery #narcissisticabuseawareness #relateable

One of the most devastating attacks on a woman's spirit is an unsupportive mother-in-law who sees her daughter-in-law as "beneath" her. Years of enduring the psychological impact of such a dynamic can leave a woman believing that she is, in fact, beneath others. Let me be clear: I am not beneath OR above anyone, and neither are you. Here's the fix: Queen of Swords + Queen of Wands The Queen of Swords is very much "Ice Queen" energy. She has the power to freeze a moment and examine every angle with cool, detached logic. Emotions evaporate when she enters the chat. The Queen of Wands, by contrast, *takes* emotional energy and transforms it into action. Fire energy is your willpower. Next time you feel this or any other emotional sucker punch, use ice to isolate the emotion, to feel it physically, then channel that fire into controlled, aligned action. Kind of like entering an igloo for shelter from a storm, then building a fire therein to keep warm. Emotions are just energy that can be used as fuel. The only question is what will you do with it? #TraumaInformed #TendYourWell #tarotfortraumarecovery #neuroplastichealing

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

And it's hurting you. I'm here to help you make it stop. The first step is to confront it. You don't have to face it alone anymore. Not here in the Garden. So... What's one thing you really wish your brain would quit telling you?

December 2025 Before we can plant the seeds of Sovereignty (winning the battle for YOUR free will), we must first take a look at the soil those seeds will rest within. Now’s a good time for that work. The Farmer’s Almanac offers advice based on cycles of the moon. Seems reasonable to me based on experience, so my foundation is built on the moon cycles. The next seed planting phase begins December 20th. We have time to prepare, and it’s important not to skip the preparation phase. For the first three days of December, your task is to examine what is in alignment with your will. Start by refining your daily routines and honing the skills you already employ daily. You can choose one small thing to focus on. I began with a spiritual practice every morning. From there, it’s basically task-stacking. The skills you possess will become obvious the more you repeat this monthly cycle, so don’t worry if you can’t immediately identify which skill to hone. Bonus Tip: Crying releases hormones essential to mental and emotional health: - Endorphins - Oxytocin - Prolactin - Cortisol - and more! (See the cited sources at the end for links.) From the 5th through the 10th, focus on what your goals are and express gratitude daily. Even if it’s just one goal and one thing for which you are grateful, make this a daily practice. Take a caveman's perspective on abundance. Imagine how impressed a troglodyte would be to have all the things we have. Even better if it’s just one small thing. That’s sustainable, and that’s the goal. Seeds take time to grow roots. Gardens take time to grow and bloom. Trust the process. One goal you can think about every day. One thing you are grateful for every day. It can be the same thing every day. It’s okay and even good to start small because that’s how we build a lasting structure. Start looking at abundance like a caveman. As you focus on goals and gratitude, anything that is out of alignment will surface. Make a note. Hand writing in a journal every day is ideal because it signals your brain to pay attention. Use whatever method works for you, but there’s science backing that one.
