The first step to healing is acknowledging and being aware of what needs to change. To be aware is to be in control. It takes a really strong individual to be able to accept their reality and actively work towards change. There are many different ways to find your inner truth and connect with the universe to better understand yourself.
What is Tarot?
Tarot is a tool that originated in Italy consisting of a 78 card deck. In these 78 cards there are two main groups of cards, the major arcana and minor arcana. The minor arcana consist of four suits: cups, pentacles, swords and wands. Each of these suits have different meanings, which can be learned about more in dept through this article. Tarot cards can be used in many different ways. Some people choose to practice tarot professionally and offer card readings.
Today I would like to focus on a quick daily activity that helps us use tarot for our own person healing.
Daily Card Pull
With this first exercise essentially, one would shuffle the deck until one card is selected. How you choose to decide that id completely up to each individual. Some people like to shuffle their cards until a card physically falls out of the deck. Others could prefer to simply shuffle and take the card that is either on the top or bottom of the deck. I suggest practicing and testing different methods to see what is most comfortable for you.
Once you have a set card for the day I will suggest two things: understand and meditate. Take some time to really know what the card represents and what it is trying to tell you. Set a timer for 10 minutes and mediate mindfully. Take this time to really think about how the meaning of the card can relate with you in this current moment.
This quick and simple 10 minute meditation is perfect for us college students with busy schedules. Daily card pulls could just be the beginning of a very successful future. Happy healing!
