A True Adventurer
Getting to Know the Knight of Wands
A Knight of Wands personifies action in the moment. Sometimes it seems that the Knight was stuck somewhere and finally got loose. At times, a person might wonder if the Knight even knows what direction to go in. Impatience is part of the picture here.
Whatever happens, the situation will not stagnate because this Knight lives in the moment. This attitude produces a personality that doesn’t know the meaning of the word “impossible.” This goes right along with a person who is not overly attached to the outcome of a project. In fact, he may be detached from it. After all, he’s a doer, not a planner.
The Knight of Wands lives each day like it’s the day that everything can go right…or not. This Knight is in his comfort zone when he lives outside his comfort zone. That’s because he lives in the moment. This attitude is contagious when he motivates those around to push boundaries.
This living-in-the-moment-now is a spiritual component of the Knight’s personality. The detachment is part of this person’s core beliefs, and “temporary” is a foundational word in his personality. After all, he’s not interested in long-term commitments.
Story
I met Pat at the Mower’s Meadow Flea Market, and sometimes I could not believe she was real. But she is. Pat is honestly all about the now and only now.
“Can you watch my booth for a little while? An old friend just dropped by, and we’re going to get a coffee.” She and Peggy wandered off, and we didn’t see a sign of them for a couple of hours. That was my first encounter with her.
Then: “Can you cover my shift tonight? I’ve just been invited to an island for a couple of days.”
Then: “Can you loan me a few bucks? I’m out of gas and need to get home.”
Pat knows no fear. Fear is saved for those preoccupied with the future and with outcomes. Pat lives more in the present than anyone I know. She is all about the now and only the now. Because she experiences detachment with all her decisions, she knows to her core that tomorrow is of no consequence. I don’t think Pat even thinks about tomorrow when she plans anything.
Somewhere, or sometime, in her life, Pat learned that life works that way for her. She learned that she can make all the plans she wants, but life probably has other plans for her. She doesn’t even expect to see them coming.
Pat’s playful, youthful energy will probably be with her forever. It is, actually, a special gracefulness that keeps her ahead of the beginning of things.
So, she just lives each moment like it’s the day where everything can go right – for now.
Whatever, Pat makes it through. With a smile. After all, this is how she chooses to live her life.
Life Changing Rituals
List your contributions to the world around you. What value do you bring to your home, family, and work?
Practice deep breathing for a few moments.
Slow down and “clear” a small space for beauty and efficiency.
Meditation
Go to a quiet, safe place where you feel comfortable. If you have a salt crystal lamp, place it near your head. If not, use your favorite relaxing essential oil or incense. Turn on your favorite healing music.
Get comfortable and quiet. Concentrate on your breathing. As you breathe, you feel calmer. Your breathing in and outs become more regular, with your exhales releasing stress and tension.
With each breath, relax more fully. As you inhale, mentally follow the air as it moves along your respiratory tract.
Listen to the sound of the breath in your body. The more you listen, the more relaxed you feel. Your body is letting go and becoming peaceful.
It moves through your nose to the back of your throat and, finally, into your lungs. Continue breathing in and out. You feel calm and relaxed.
With the relaxation, you feel your body totally – every cell, and organ. You feel that your body is working perfectly. Everything is in harmony, in unity.
Focus my attention on your solar plexus as you visualize the sun gently warming your body. This warmth calms you further and extends your feelings of peace.
Soon, you feel the heat flowing throughout your body, including your chest, your abdomen, arms, and legs.
With this unity, you feel capable, strong, and relaxed. I see that life is getting easier for you.
This warmth and this unity regenerate you.
Enjoy this warmth and this feeling for a few moments.
It is time to return to your day. You can take this moment of peace with you.
Slowly become aware of the outside world surrounding you. Take several deep breaths and gently stretch your limbs.
Feel radiant with life as you open your eyes and go about your day.
