1. Why read Tarot for Yourself?
Reading my own Tarot has been a breakthrough in my life, and so this blog series is for others like me who find themselves spending an inordinate amount of time not knowing what to do … getting stressed and miserable because they cant make a decision, don’t want to make a mistake, are afraid of getting it wrong, and of missing out and end up torturing themselves with indecision, self-doubt, spend so much time weighing up the pros and cons that ends up as procrastination because …..they don’t know what to do, don’t want to make a mistake or miss out on, any of the above.
I have spent so many years asking myself questions around am I heading in the right direction and what is my purpose? Since 21 I have attended multiple workshops and seminars with multiple teachers in multiple disciplines. It has been a sometimes hilarious sometimes disastrous journey of discovery in which I learned much and have been inspired by many teachers. And some phoney ones. I started with EST, then Insight 1,2,3, two fire walks with Anthony Robbins (and my friend got badly burned so its not a trick) studied NLP, EFT, Energy Medicine, Qi Gong, have meditated in Ashrams, done a 10 day silent Vipassana meditation, attended Family Constellation workshops, Human Design, Stillpoint Intuitive Healing….and many more I am sure. All fascinating and part of life’s rich journey if you are someone always on the search to fulfil your potential.
I have found over the last four years that reading Tarot for myself has been a breakthrough for me. It’s as if I have finally found my true friend and spiritual guide wrapped up in one, a way to tune into my intuition, and learn to trust it. A way to connect to a higher power, some universal intelligence, I find it difficult to name as it is all a wrapped up, but the result is I have a resource I can go to when I feel stressed or anxious or don’t know what to do. By consulting the Tarot I feel I am heading in the right direction, and I feel encouraged. I actually feel more committed to ‘fulfilling my potential’with the guidance of my friend the Tarot. I am a work in progress still, as we all are.
