Episode 028 - The Magical Way Breathwork Releases Trapped Emotions With Teresa Trieb, Represented by the Eight of Swords

The Eight of Swords represents my guest today on The Tarot Table. It typically depicts a woman blindfolded and bound, surrounded by eight swords forming a cage or barrier around her. The scene suggests a feeling of being trapped, restricted, or limited.
The blindfold represents a lack of clarity or insight, indicating that the woman may be unaware of her options or the potential solutions to her predicament.

The bound hands suggest a sense of powerlessness or feeling stuck. The swords surrounding her symbolize the mental and emotional barriers or challenges she perceives as obstacles to her freedom.
The Eight of Swords often represents a state of self-imposed limitations, fear, or feeling trapped by one's thoughts or circumstances.

It suggests a situation where one may feel helpless, overburdened, or unable to see a way forward. It can also signify a need to break free from self-imposed restrictions or negative thinking patterns.
 The card highlights the importance of examining one's beliefs, perceptions, and thoughts. It encourages the individual to consider whether the perceived limitations are genuine or simply a product of one's mindset.

Shifting perspectives and challenging self-imposed restrictions can lead to liberation and empowerment.
The Eight of Swords reminds us that true freedom and empowerment come from within. It encourages self-reflection, self-awareness, and the recognition of personal agency.

By acknowledging the power to change one's thoughts and beliefs, individuals can find the strength to overcome obstacles and break free from self-imposed limitations. This card represents my guest today, Teresa Trieb.
