2 of Swords Tarot Card: Lower Your Shields

Here is one way to think of the 2 of Swords tarot card- there is something blocking you. Something is shielding your heart that may have once been important, because it kept you from pain that was flying at you in the moment, but somehow, you never lowered those shields when the pain stopped coming. This is unfortunate because on account of those unnecessary shields, you deny yourself many good vibrations and much love that you could and should be receiving. You need to train yourself to recognize when the danger has passed and it is safe again. Then, you can lower your shields so that good energy can get in again.
