Sean Blake is lucky to be alive. Through recovery, developing self-compassion, Sean now advocates for early intervention with a society that understands this mental illness more. Sean Blake, an Irishman from Swords, Dublin, made his way to a Brain Conference in Brussels a couple of weeks ago. This was the first time he travelled alone as an adult, aged 43. All of this was historically linked to his own feeling of unworthiness and inadequacy. Sean's story begins in childhood, marked by years of not feeling “good enough.” This relentless inner critic eventually manifested as incessant running and starvation. After a couple of compliments on how he looked through initial fitness, he was locked into an ever-increasing path of torturous training. He was training to become invisible. He was running himself to death. By his forties, with four children observing this pattern, Sean's daily life was consumed by a regime where he was running many kilometres before ‘breakfast'. We don't mention how many kilometres as this can be a trigger of competition for other anorexics who may feel they are not doing enough in comparison. His ‘breakfast' would be the toast crusts after his children had eaten. They would remember the first time he eventually sat with them to eat a ‘normal' meal. His daughter commented at that moment that he thought his dad only ever ran and ate different food to them. Sean was lucky. A voice inside his head found a way to ask for help. When he arrived at St Patrick's Mental Health Services in Dublin, they told him he was extremely close to death and needed urgent, instant treatment. Over a period of many weeks, Sean unlocked the hold this disease had over his head. He promised himself that if he could get through those months and gain recovery, he would dedicate his voice to this cause. And that is what he has done. Sean transformed his feelings towards himself, and took a path to healing through Compassion-Focused Therapy. One of the exercises was to write a letter to himself: a letter of forgiveness and love. “That letter lifted something off my shoulders, I realised it wasn't my fault. I am good enough.” Today, Sean is a Shine See Change Ambassador, a member of NIMC's lived experience committee (NIMC is the National Implementation Monitoring Committee that  oversees  ''Sharing The Vision'' Mental Health Policy in Ireland), part of the Service User & Supporters Council at St Patrick's Mental Health Services. He also appeared in the RTÉ documentary Anorexia: My Family and Me, helping to reshape how we talk about eating disorders. In our conversation, Sean shares how recovery means learning to speak kindly to oneself. We discuss the importance of the words used as a community around food and body image; seemingly harmless words about food, fitness or weight can deeply affect those in fragile states of mind. Sean is particularly invested in working with Fitness Studios. Here, right under the observation of health advocates, lies a slightly hidden story of obsessive fitness to the point of anorexia athletica. This episode is a reminder that even the hardest stories can lead to healing when spoken aloud. https://www.instagram.com/seanblake80/?hl=en https://www.stpatricks.ie/ https://about.rte.ie/2024/10/14/rte-airs-compelling-new-documentary-anorexia-my-family-me/ https://www.bodywhys.ie/ https://www.instagram.com/gamian_europe?igsh=MTVqZzd1cmNlNWk5Mw%3D%3D

Explicit Warning: This episode deals with some non-traditional meanings of the Five of Swords. It is spicy and not safe for kids: much cussing and sexual references.    Ah, the Five of Swords, usually seen as a card of deceit and failed mediation. People who get this card are often seen as people caught in the middle of a conflict. Or needing mediation. It's a bullying card we often associate with conflicts of interest.  We then amplify this meaning by sharing a few additional unique perspectives. Hilary's Llewellyn Tarot shows a Welsh mythology portrayal, while Jaymi shows how the Tarot of the Holy Spectrum has a more modern interpretation. And, as usual, Melissa's decks give the card's meaning a more off-the-rails interpretation. However, as Melissa shows in her two card depictions, this card deals with fucking. In the Sassy Burrito deck, we see finger claws that are used in the kink community for pain/pleasure. While the Mystic Garbage tarot has bunnies literally fucking. And boy does one of those bunnies give off "mind your fucking business" vibes. Homework: If you have difficulty differentiating meanings from the fives and sevens, take these cards out and compare and contrast their vibes. Where can you pull your attention away from?   Melissa now has a Patreon! Check it out at https://www.patreon.com/cw/Melissacynova.

What does it mean when tarot archetypes are blindfolded or their vision is obscured? In this week's episode of The Tarot Diagnosis, I explore the often over-looked symbolism of obscured vision in tarot - where sight is blocked, avoided, invited or even denied. Inspired by six cards (Two of Swords, Four of Swords, Eight of Swords, Nine of Swords, Ten of Wands, and Strength), I take a psychological and symbolic deep dive into what it means when our eyes are closed.Together, we'll unpack:Why blindfolds might represent clarity over confusion (Two of Swords vs. Eight of Swords)The difference between chosen vs. imposed limitations on sightHow anxiety and panic (Nine of Swords) make us unable to see clearly, even if our eyes openWhat closing our eyes can teach us about nervous system regulation and rest (Four of Swords)How over-functioning and burnout distort our ability to see what's truly happening around us (Ten of Wands)Why Strength might be less about control and more about titration and sensory inputThrough the lens of psychology and tarot symbolism, we uncover how visual obstruction in the cards can indicate increased internal knowing, emotional overwhelm, or even power dynamics. And how sometimes seeing less allows us to feel and know more.If you've ever pulled the Two of Swords and said, "just open your eyes and deal with it," this reframe might change the way you see the cards forever.Deck Used: Tarot Vintage

Preparing for Turmoil in the KingdomIn times of uncertainty and struggle, preparation is essential, much like keeping winter gear in vehicles during Montana summers to anticipate sudden snowstorms even at unexpected times. Jesus does not advocate for carelessness but acknowledges human responsibility in facing dangers. However, Jesus' words in Luke present a seeming contradiction. On the one hand, He instructs His disciples to acquire swords for readiness amid unrest and war. Then, on the other hand, He is disturbed when they produce two swords. Ultimately, the text invites reflection on the deeper complexity of God's kingdom amidst the fallen world. We want to trust in our tangible weapons, but fail to see the deeper spiritual threats that surround us. The Ironic Bravado of the DisciplesThe disciples, echoing the Pharisees' positioning for power, argue about their significance during the last supper. Christ directly addresses Peter, implying that he is the boastful leader. Jesus warns Peter that Satan demanded to sift Peter. Peter boasts of his fleshly strength, and commitment to Christ. He singles out Peter (addressed as Simon Simon) with a warning: Satan has demanded to sift him like wheat, evoking Job's trials. This underscores Peter's reliance on his own strength and bravado, contrasting with the true foundation of the apostolic witness. Peter's declaration of readiness for prison or death reveals his overconfidence, which Jesus prophesies will lead to three denials before the rooster crows, a verifiable sign of His prophetic authority. Christ is highlighting the call to perseverance through trials rather than triumphs, reminding them that the kingdom involves hardships, not just glory. The Certain Power of Prayer and FaithChrist's resolution is surprising. He says, "I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail." This prayer is no mere cliché but a powerful defense against Satan's accusations, demonstrating the power of the weapon given to believers. Faith is portrayed as the instrument for receiving Christ's blessings and redemption, providing otherworldly strength beyond human effort. Though Peter will fall, Jesus assures his return and role will serve to strengthen others. We praise God for he preserves us while we persevere in his power. The Canons of Dordt Head 5 Articles 5-8 warn that sin can grieve the Spirit and wound the conscience, but the Spirit will preserve God's people and restore them to God's favor. We rest in the assurance that true strength comes from weakness and dependence on Christ, rather than our self-reliance or the weapons of this age..The Ironic Banter and Spiritual RealityIn a moment of ironic banter, Jesus recalls the disciples' earlier mission where they lacked nothing, contrasting it with future turmoil requiring metaphorical "swords"—symbols of conflict and threat in the kingdom's ebbs and flows, as seen in Acts. When the disciples literally produce two swords, Jesus dismisses it with "Enough!" not as sufficiency, but to end their misunderstanding of the true danger that awaits them. The battle is spiritual, against forces like Satan, not flesh and blood. Fulfilling Isaiah 53:12, Jesus is numbered among transgressors, suffering unjustly while interceding eternally for His people. The sermon concludes that Christ's heavenly intercession sustains believers amid persecution's subtleties. We are exhorted to cling to Him as we persevere in grace, even in comfortable times where faith's value might be undervalued. Ultimately, we rest in knowing that we will be preserved. Our great priest lives to make intercession for his people. We are more than conquers in his strength rather than our own.

In this first episode of the October Underland series, meditation teacher Meryl Arnett invites you to stop running from your fears and instead turn around to face them.
