#DeepDiveDecks

[@johanna0131]

I can completely relate to everything you said, especially the brain fog. I’ve been dealing with this for a few years now, and it’s so frustrating. I have a few decks and books I really want to study, but I can’t do it. I get distracted and tired and can’t focus. I can’t remember anything. I find myself just zoning out. I am also struggling with buying too many decks, and also feeling like I should get rid of half my collection. It’s crazy how well you seemed to describe exactly how I’m feeling! It’s got to be the hormones! I’m glad you talked about all of this.😊

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@johanna0131 yes!!! I get distracted and then no energy and just don’t do anything. Sometimes it’s nice to just hear that you are not alone in experiencing some of these things. It makes it less isolating. Thank you for sharing!

[@johanna0131]

@ I agree! Apparently, this is more common than I thought. I’m glad I’m not just slowly losing my mind. 😄

[@whalesong813]

Thank you for sharing what you are going through relating to brain fog. You're not alone, I struggle with brain fog at times as well. I really liked your deep dive decks. I found that the Wild Unknown Archetyipes deck is an interesting one to deep dive with. It's what is out on my reading space as I type. I find it pairs really well with the Tarot of Mystical Moments.

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@whalesong813 thank you for watching and for the recommendation!

[@carriesmysticalmusings]

The brain fog was and still is so frustrating since hitting menopause. I've been evaluating my collection this past month and thinking about where I go from here, because there's a lot of decks 😮. So many Great choices in decks to deep dive or study. ❤

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@carriesmysticalmusings it is truly frustrating! I’ve been evaluating a lot lately and feel a purge coming! Thank you for sticking around my channel! 🥰

[@jessreadscards]

I really appreciated you sharing what you're going through. I know it can't be easy to share. Also loved all the decks you shared!! As I am starting to reinvigorate my practice, I loved hearing about all these possible deep dives!

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@jessreadscards thank you, lovely lady! I feel like talking about peri menopause needs to happen. Too often we suffer alone and in silence when so many women are experiencing horrible symptoms. And we should’nt be ashamed to talk about it. I appreciate you!

[@AntoinetteTarot]

Yesss, I've been talking about needing to empowerment ourselves with information regarding peri menopause & menopause for quite a few months now. But only recently the effects it might have on confidence to not want to be beaten down for using a wrong word due o brain fog. Completely understand 😊

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@AntoinetteTarot so true for so many of us! I am glad we are all talking about it and sharing!

[@pagan_suburbia]

Absolutely this is my every day. I think lockdown and sudden menopause changed my brain and I am now in a constant cycle of buying and purging. I need to really put effort into changing this. Loved this video, thank you so much for sharing🙏🏼🌺

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@pagan_suburbia I feel this. I have to break this cycle. I feel it’s unhealthy for me.

[@purpletarotgalaxy9977]

This was just what I needed, thank you! I totally get where you're coming from. I went from menopause straight into auto immune disease and have been dealing with brainfog for well over a year now. I did buy a couple of new decks in the past months but haven't really bothered to get to know them. That is, until last week when the Yokai tarot arrived (mass market by Lo Scarabeo). The soft colors are very comforting and the quirky characters made me wanna explore. I've been playing with them every day and reading up on the stories to learn how they connect to their tarot card. The tiny guidebook is a good jumping off point. This one has the same lightness that Carlotydes has (love that one too). So good! I enjoyed your choices as well. Somnia has been on my list forever it feels. Been watching many walkthroughs and it still triggers the @#€! out of me. One day .... thank you once more and have a great day ❤

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@purpletarotgalaxy9977 thank you for sharing! That must be difficult - I am sorry your menopause journey did not end with some relief. The Yokai sounds lovely for a deep dive! I hope it brings you some clarity, focus and amazing messages. Thanks for being here!

[@jennifermu8]

Thank you for sharing. This was a very raw, truthful and soulful video. I understand what you are going through. I was diagnosed with ADHD inattentive after hitting menopause. I didn’t understand what was going on with me throughout premenopausal or menopausal. It was maddening. The only thing people and doctors talk about is hot flashes. Not the many other things low estrogen effect. I know how you feel, because I went through similar things that you have described. Be kind to yourself. This video helped and taking a look at the Tarot we have in deeper layers.

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@jennifermu8 thank you so much. You are so right about the “hot flashes” syndrome. I have about 25 other symptoms that are all related to hormonal changes. After being tested and tested, no other causes. And doctors just shrug and offer you birth control. It has effected me mentally and emotionally. I see you and hear you and thanks for making me feel less alone, which I know I am not. 🥰

[@nohelanikh6788]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Between hypothyroidism and a TBI, I struggle with brain fog. Lists have really helped me. I put them on my phone and prominent places around the house to help me stay on task. I also keep one tarot and one oracle on my desk all the time so I have something to fall back on when I can’t make up my mind. The reliability of those decks are a great comfort to me.

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@nohelanikh6788 thank you so much for being willing to share your experience AND the great tip of making lists! I use to do lists at work all the time - why didn’t I think of posting them at home?? Even just little notes to remind myself of something I really wanted to focus on that day. Brilliant! And I think my problem is I have too many decks on my desk. When I stash them away, I tend to forget them 🙁 I like the idea of paring it back as to not overwhelm myself. Thankful to have you here!

[@nohelanikh6788]

@@GreeneyedTarot I really appreciate you sharing. It’s affected my entire life, and even though brain fog sounds like a small thing, it really isn’t. There should be more discussion around it. And I totally understand the out of sight out of mind thing! That’s a real struggle.

[@ClairtT4040]

I hear you and I hear you!!!! Don't want to depress the endless list of things going on that contribute to my brain fog. I accept it and learning how to manage and deal with it. It was such a pleasure to listen to you. I hope this video travels far and wide, everyone should see it! You did something amazing here 🙏💜🙏 And I love the analogy inside of am I a ship? Yes, sometimes sailing smooth sometimes feel a bit seasick with nowhere to get off the boat. But over all, this vessel is doing its best to stay afloat 🥰 Thank you, tarot is certainly an antidote to the brain fog. Thoth is my deep dive intuitive deck 😊

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@ClairtT4040 thank you so much for your kind words!

[@teautarot]

I can definitely commiserate in your hormonal changes and the things that brings with it- it can be overwhelming at times for SURE! these decks are all so great and definitely ones i’m rethinking of revisiting! ✨ Thank you for sharing with us

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@teautarot at least we have each other! 😂 we can all have brain fog together.

[@ProjectRefinedLife]

Fantastic deck selection for deep dives. Unfortunately, the fog just seems to have hung around i to post menopause for me.

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@ProjectRefinedLife thank you for watching! The brain fog is no joke, sadly.

[@GentlyLivingOutLoud]

I enjoyed watching this and listening to your thoughts about consumption; I hear you re: 'stuff' - I start feeling stressed if I have too many things in my space or home. It is also refreshing to hear other women talking more about this perimenopausal time in our lives. Thank you for sharing so openly ❤ Cheers to self-reflection (I really like using Tarot of the Abyss and the Magical Nature Tarot is one of my all-time favorites, if not my top one - glad to see others featuring it!)

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@GentlyLivingOutLoud thank you for watching! I love the Magical Nature - so grounding!!

[@AstariaSen]

This is a great tag. I want to participate in this one. Yes to journaling! Lol 38:29 I just watched this decknon another channel for the first time lol. Thank you for sharing yours! It's fascinating to me to see why people would deep dive a deck. ❤

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@AstariaSen thank you!! I am glad you enjoyed it. I can’t wait to see your response!! I am so interested to see which decks people want to or have studied.

[@carmenb9020]

Hi, Not happy you're living through brain fog ...but....I'm glad to hear you bring it up. Yeah! It affects our lives in many ways, unfortunately. But that's a reality. We have to find ways to deal with it. For me, has & is been difficult. So thanks for sharing. Makes me feel im not crazy, losing it or too old. All that goes through our head. Carmen

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@carmenb9020 I am sorry that you too are experiencing it! As we age, it’s important for us to be able to talk about these things so we feel less alone and can stay informed about our health and wellness. Thank you for being here!

[@teslagoth9401]

The freedom of home makes it harder to decide what to do because that freedom is so limited. Getting rid of social media really helps ❤

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@teslagoth9401 the social media thing is a struggle, for sure. Regular breaks, I think, are vital.

[@evonnepilarski5912]

From getting older and Lymes and a head injury, brain fog has been the bane of my existence.

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@evonnepilarski5912 I am so sorry to hear that. It can really affect so many areas of your life and be so pervasive. Tarot is the least of it. Thank you for taking the time to comment and share.

[@tamipie]

Oh wow! Thanks for the shout-out and share. 🤗 I didn't realize until I got to it in the video... goes to show how much I actually read the downbar. Lol. I am going to do a little response to this today. I'm in a great spot right now, I just need to pull myself together first. I love Rosebud for this! You're right! It's mass market, the collage style is easy to engage with, and there are little bits and pieces that you can really study. I think I showed it as one of my favorites for the Chariot card in #toptarottrumps - but there are some really cool photos used, and I really like the small size of the deck. I have also held off with Somnia. I have a problem with the Pentacles, but I might have worked it out in my mind. I almost bought it from a friend who was decluttering, but I wasn't quite ready. 😅

[@1976mcfarlane]

I'm 48 and definitely starting perimenopause. Two years ago I cut sugar and grains ( been eating carnivore..) radically helped my mindfog, concentration skills, night sweats and my joint pain is gone. I can do things I haven't been able to do since I was in my twenties

[@maitria_3Jewels]

I totally agree these diet changes can help a lot. The best thing that worked for me, of course is bio-identical HRT which you can totally start for perimenopause. Unfortunately a lot of Gynecologists still today refused to acknowledge it as you have to take blood levels every six months to make sure you’re not taking too much estrogen. I found a program with my doctor through a an organization called renew youth that changed my life. All they do is HRT and it’s been amazing so anyway hope this helps. I’m sure you can find a HRT specialist in your area as well. Good luck and thanks for sharing what’s going on for you and your video.

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@1976mcfarlane I agree! I had a lifestyle change a few years ago and I lost 43 pounds and lowered my cholesterol and glucose naturally. I still try to choose whole grains, vegetables, fruits and non processed foods. I do feel better when eating right. Some of the symptoms just are really persistent. I appreciate you sharing your experience!

[@vinkolaapple648]

Love this!!! Thank you

[@JohannaVanWinkle]

Wow! I really like the Tarot of the Abyss... the art work is amazing!

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@JohannaVanWinkle it is an amazing deck! So well done without having any color, and yet so expressive and emotive.

[@tarotgeektv]

Totally enjoyed your deep dive decks. I want to participate, this looks fun. I was with Tamipie the day this came out and we had both watched it, but I hadn't finished watching your video yet cause I had to go into town. I just now got to finish it. Thanks for sharing and being so vulnerable. The Somnia definitely creeped me out too, and it took me quite a while to want it. Now I totally love it so much. I can't quite believe the amount of work, wow. I just got the Tarot Emblemata from a friend cause they used it and then decided they didn't need it. I haven't got to work with it yet. Nice to hear the information cause I knew nothing about it. I loved how you talked about this deck, made me laugh. I think you are pretty funny. 🥰💖

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@tarotgeektv awww thank you! I love that you and Tamipie were together watching 🥰 Tarot Emblemata is so cool - such a unique deck. I hope you enjoy it!

[@tarotgeektv]

@@GreeneyedTarot 🥰🥰🥰

[@teslagoth9401]

The expanded guide book for Emblemata Chromata is 1000% worth it. One of the best deck books I’ve ever read

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@teslagoth9401 thank you for the recommendation! I will definitely check it out.

[@JohannaVanWinkle]

Something that might help with energy and brain fog: ginseng tincture.

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@JohannaVanWinkle thank you! I take ginseng in supplement (pill) form occasionally. I will look into tinctures!

[@JohannaVanWinkle]

Also, have you had your thyroid levels checked?

[@GreeneyedTarot]

@@JohannaVanWinkle yes! They have been checked many times. All blood work and testing points to hormonal changes and an imbalance due to menopause.
