I’m the Champion of Energy and my element is WATER. Imagine your energy like a reservoir of water. Your strength is holding that water in place, and your power is when the water flows from the reservoir. But the water is the energy itself.

Your feelings are your energy barometer. When your reservoir is full, you feel great. You’re on top of the world, ready for anything. You feel excitement. Anticipation. Passion.

Joy. It’s fantastic! Then when your reservoir is empty, you feel drained. Weak. Lethargic. Unmotivated.

Negative emotions (guilt, resentment, frustration, anger, etc.) pollute your emotion- al waters with mud and debris. So when you intend to use your energy, you get a mudslide instead of a powerful stream of clean water.

Mudslides are powerful, don’t get me wrong, they’re just very slow, impossible to control, extremely destructive and a mess to clean up. Not the kind of flow you require when playing football, is it?

Drawing my card reminds you to listen to your feelings and learn to deal with emotions. Clearing your waters is equally important as building strength or practicing specific techniques. Surround yourself with beauty and joy. Bask in the care of loved ones. Recharge in stillness.
