Today
we will discuss the use of Tarot in reducing and redirecting Stress.
With
Today's fast and frantic lifestyle, Tarot emerges as an important tool to
re-focus and re-direct your life path. When you feel stressed and over-whelmed
Tarot helps reveal, your innermost needs and desires helping you achieve
abundance by bringing clarity, honesty and reassurance to any situation.
You
can reduce your stress level with the help of Tarot.Because our goal is not to
eliminate stress but we should learn how to manage it and use it in positive
way to help us.
When you are stressed what can be done:-
- Search for a quiet place and make sure nobody disturbs you for next 10 to 15 minutes.
- Start with a couple of Deep Breath. And if you can chant any mantra you are comfortable with at least 3 times. If you don’t know any mantra you can chant OM for three times.
- Listen to your inner self and then look at the Tarot Cards what they say. Request them to help you .because Tarot not only gives you the guidance but also aids you in your personal growth.
- Then open your Tarot deck spread the cards and know think about the reason for your tension/stress ask Tarot for guidance then pick up the card for yourself.
- Spend some time looking at it. Pay attention to its colors and how you feel about them. Note the general atmosphere of the card and the emotions it brings out in you.
- Look at the figures in the card--what they're doing, whether they're seated or standing, who they remind you of and how you feel about them.
- Focus on the symbols and what they remind you of. Write your thoughts down on a piece of paper.
- Now take a look at the card and think what the card has to offer you.
- Analyze the card and then again think of the issue.
You would soon be able to see something you
have been missing so far because reading tarot cards is a combination of
knowledge and intuition. And the best part about Tarot is that anyone can learn
this art
I have found some special qualities in few
Tarot Cards which are specially related to stress and its management and can be
used specifically for empowerment when they show up in tarot readings.
To
truly understand and appreciate the beauty of Tarot Cards , you are requested
to either take the help of a Tarot Card Reader or if possible Learn it
yourself.
Cards in Major Arcana.
Card
1) Strength
In a
Tarot reading, Strength offers you the
connection between both, your inner self and your outer self. It implores
upon you to find the confidence within yourself to show up to the world as a
strong, assertive, and persevering individual. If you have been self-doubting,
the Strength Tarot card gives you the confidence to fight those doubts.
Additionally, if you are feeling worn out or stressed, Strength tells you,
“Things are going to be better! You are going to find the strength within
yourself and within others to keep going!”
Card 2) The Tower
The
Tower represents the inner and outer structures that you have built around
yourself. These structures represent your personal circle, a defense which
makes you a more socially acceptable ‘you’ by hiding your true, inner thoughts
and feelings. In times of great pressure and stress, these structures will be
tested and are at risk of shattering, finally revealing your true inner self to
those around you. So, you need to be very careful that no matter how much of
yourself you attempt to hide, knowing that one day, all will be revealed.
Card
3) Temperance
In
Upright
Temperance
indicates that you are learning to bring about balance, patience and moderation
in your life. You have been able to take the middle path, avoiding the extremes
and maintaining a great sense of calm in your life. You have learned to keep
calm in situations of great stress or anxiety,
You
need to avoid pain, conflict and distractions and lessen your stress and
anxiety. Looking inward will help you. There is nothing to fear, as it is part
of the process and without it change could not occur.
In
Reversed
In
reversed position this card reflects a time when something is out of balance,
in conflict or excessive, and is therefore creating stress and tension in your
life. Look to the other cards in the reading to understand what is out of
balance or contributing to this feeling.
Tomorrow we will discuss the remaining cards which deal specifically
with the issue of stress management.
