A Tarot Practice for Content Creation that Suits You
Here's a concept I'm working with and has given me some momentum in my content creation. Go ahead and give it a try and let me know what you discover.
When to use this tarot practice:
You're feeling disconnected or confused about what content you want to be sharing on social media.
You're feeling out of alignment with what you're sharing, or ready to innovate into the next chapter of your work.
You're feeling lack of purpose or out of sync with "why" you're sharing.
What you'll get from this practice:
North Star themes that offer you clarity on the direction, tone and scaling of your content (what you know you do and don't want from your higher self, not fear or imposter syndrome)
Insight into the styles of content that creators before you used to effectively and authentically deliver the tone that feels most aligned for your work (i.e. written posts, photos, spoken videos, IG live, podcast, etc.). You might also notice which elements you need more/less of in your work to feel integrated with your business.
Trust that you can and will build a social media presence that authentically showcases your essence and enthusiasm to start sharing from this aligned place.
The practice:
1. Identify an entrepreneur/creator that you feel embodies the FIRE element (or WANDS suit) you'd like to emulate in your work.
Look for your ideal version of passion, intensity, creativity, instinct, courage, strength, and aligned action.
Feel for this connection, activation, or sense related to your SOLAR PLEXUS chakra. You might feel into the space just underneath your rib cage.
2. Identify an entrepreneur/creator you feel embodies the WATER element (or CUPS suit) you'd like to emulate in your work.
Look for your ideal version of intuitive, heart-centered, emotionally intelligent, and healing presence.
Feel for this connection, activation, or sense related to your SACRAL chakra and HEART chakra. You might feel into the low belly just beneath your belly button and the center of your chest.
3. Identify an entrepreneur/creator you feel embodies the AIR element (or SWORDS suit) you'd like to emulate in your work.
Look for your ideal version of communicative, direct, discerning, clear voice/message that "cuts through" the noise.
Feel for this connection, activation, or sense related to your THROAT chakra and HEART chakra. You might feel into the upper chest and throat area.
4. Identify an entrepreneur/creator that you feel embodies the EARTH element (or PENTACLES suit) you’d like to emulate in your work.
Look for your ideal version of grounded, consistency, nurturer/hardworking, intentional, generative, and fertile.
Feel for this connection/activation in your ROOT chakra. You might feel into your feet on the earth, your knees, and your spine.
Note: Be open to people outside of your niche/industry. The broader, the better to give yourself ROOM to be creative and innovative in your work.
5. Spend some time with each creator's content and note your observations.
Some prompts to reflect on as you explore:
What qualities do you (or even your higher self) share with this person?
What is it about them that inspires, motivates or resonates with you?
Take a look at their comments section. What do other people thank them for? Write those key themes/words you share.
If there are differences you confidently do not desire in your work, you may note those on a seperate sheet of paper.
6. Integrate your learnings.
As you anchor your resonance with real examples, begin to release yourself of creating in ways that do not align with this map you’ve developed.
Unfollow, manage your screen time, and bring yourself back home to your unique perspective and values.
Let go of any external influence to create outside of this map.
Now, you see it is possible to create content that is aligned with your deeper purpose and energy.
As you and your business shift, feel free to return to this exercise and update your sources of inspiration.
