The Giveaway

The Giveaway

Here's one interpretation.

The Giveaway is the act of giving without attachment or expecting anything in return. It is not about giving away things you no longer want, like an ill-fitting sweater. It is about giving something that is uniquely yours: a smile, a nod of encouragement, a gentle touch, and a kind word. Gifting your authentic love and genuine feelings is the essence of the Giveaway.

When this card appears, here are a few actions you might consider.

Make a list of 10 people and things for which you are grateful. Connect with the feeling of gratitude. The giveaway calls you to feel gratitude, that is not dependent on external conditions. Share it with those you meet. This card calls you to give without expecting anything in return. As you offer thanks, your heart opens, and you realize how much life has given you. You can heal feelings of scarcity. You can then start to see and embrace the abundance around you. The giveaway invites you to be in the flow of life as you generously give and receive.

If this card appears upside down or reversed, and you choose to include its position as part of your reading, here's what it could mean.

Is it difficult for you to limit how much of yourself you give? You cannot provide for long if you give more than is healthy. You may feel resentful of your partner or those around you. You may feel like the world owes you something in return, a sense of entitlement.

Notice if you give for any reason other than pure generosity. Are you perhaps seeking approval or acceptance? Are you hoping to heal an old wound?

Start giving to yourself first. Nurture and strengthen yourself. Offer yourself first the care, love, time, and rest you need to feel vibrant and whole. Once you experience abundance, then you can give to others.
