The Intelligence of Staying Alive
Explore the intelligence behind
your survival instincts.
These poetic cards honor
freeze, flight, fawn, fight,
and more as the brilliant ways
your body chose to live.
Honoring Freeze
When you couldn’t run or fight,
your body chose stillness.
Not because you were broken —
but because you were brilliant.
This card honors freeze not as failure,
but as sacred resistance.
Honoring Flight
You didn’t run because you failed.
You ran because your body believed
there might still be somewhere safe.
This card honors the wisdom in motion —
and the hope behind the escape.
Honoring Fight
They told you anger made you dangerous.
But what if it made you real?
This card honors fight as sacred selfhood —
not destruction, but defense.
