Finding Balance in Neglect: A Sacred Call to Self-Care

The artwork featured in the Neglect card of my La Caribeña Oracle deck, holds a tender mirror to our lives, where success can sometimes overshadow our deepest needs. In this painting, La Caribeña sits quietly beside a wilted plant, a poignant symbol of the parts of ourselves we often overlook. Though everything she needs is within reach, she finds herself disconnected, yearning for the balance and care she has set aside.


The lizard in the scene, a creature of resilience and renewal, whispers of the possibility of rebirth. Like the lizard shedding its tail, we too can shed the layers of neglect, embracing the healing that comes with acknowledging our needs.



This piece is deeply personal, reminding us that self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s a sacred act of love towards ourselves.

It asks us to pause and reflect. Here are some journal prompts you can work with:


  • What comes to mind when you see this painting?

  • Where have we neglected our own well-being?

  • How can you begin to nurture those parts of yourself again?



Let the medicine of the art inspire you to take those loving steps towards a balanced and nurturing self-care routine.
