The idea behind this card — Separation distress

The ending lands in the body first — a tight chest, tired bones, the middle-of-the-night wake. That's the body still attached, not a verdict.

GROUND — The body and the immediate day

The practice

scan your body once, slowly, head to feet. Name what you find — tight chest, heavy arms, clenched jaw — out loud if you can. The body grieves bonds the mind has already argued its way out of. Naming it attachment, not danger, is the practice.

Where this idea comes from

  • John Bowlby — attachment and separation distress
