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 Collapse
When the weight grows too heavy,
collapse isn’t failure —
it’s a signal.
Not weakness. Not giving up.
Just a body, finally refusing to hold
what was never sustainable.
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.
