Mindfulness Powered by Gemini AI

Tarot Draw (Mindfulness Magic)

When you're feeling stuck, anxious, or just need a moment, click the ✨ Tarot Draw button. The feature uses Gemini AI to generate gentle metaphors, journal prompts, or grounding phrases based on:

• Your pet's emotional state
• Your recent habits
• Time of day

Example readings:

• "You drew: The Stilled Wind — Sometimes, stillness is the loudest kind of progress."
• "A reflection: What would rest look like if you treated it like your most sacred task today?"

The readings are designed to be poetic and reflective rather than advice-giving, combining AI with metaphoric language for mental health support.
