What if the Physical card indicates imbalance?
This card may point to stress, exhaustion or ignoring your body’s needs. Don’t see it as negative; instead treat it as an invitation to rest, nourish yourself and seek professional care if necessary. It reminds you that physical health is the foundation of well-being.
How does this spread differ from the Mind / Body / Spirit spread?

Yes, by revealing the emotions at play and connecting them to your physical sensations and spiritual beliefs, this spread helps you process feelings with compassion. It encourages you to express emotions, understand their origins and create strategies to heal and restore balance.
What if the Spiritual card is unclear to me?
A confusing Spiritual card may indicate a need to reconnect with your inner wisdom or explore new spiritual practices. Don’t force a meaning; instead, meditate or journal about the symbol and ask yourself what brings you peace. Over time, clarity will come.
How can I integrate the insights into daily life?
After your reading, write down practical steps for each area: body, emotions and spirit. This may include exercise, therapy, creative expression or meditation. Make a plan that feels realistic and revisit the spread regularly to track progress and adjust your self-care practices.

Both spreads address feelings but from different angles. Physical/Emotional/Spiritual looks at your body and spiritual health alongside emotions, while Emotion/Emotion’s Source/Advice digs into specific emotions and their origins.
