I want to announce that I am working on developing my practice of
"Tarot Empowerment Readings" by providing a really great offer --
For a limited time, these readings are payable by whatever donation
you think they are worth!
What is a Tarot Empowerment Reading?
There are a lot of Tarot techniques that use processes in which you
actively participate, as opposed to the more passive nature of getting a
"traditional" Tarot reading. Some of these techniques include:
A guided visualization with a Tarot card:
A Tarot guided visualization is one of the more basic ways to use a
Tarot card to explore the depths of your unconscious mind and to
open your heart to the wisdom of your Higher Self. It is like a
"waking dream" in which you visualize yourself inside the
enchanting world of a specific Tarot card so that you can directly
experience and discover its message for you.
Tarot affirmations:
Affirmations are positive statements that you already have something
or some quality that you desire. Repeating an affirmation while you
visualize or meditate upon an associated Tarot card enhances the
affirmation and more easily “transports” it into your subconscious
mind, since your subconscious mind communicates using images and
symbols, as do Tarot cards.
Overcoming obstacles:
If there is a goal in your life that seems to be thwarted right now, this
technique will show you how to identify and overcome the obstacles
that stand in your way.
Healing a Relationship:
This exercise is intended to improve your ability to deal with a
relationship you are in... anything from significant other to a co-
worker.
A Relationship Dialogue:
This technique is designed to help you open up communication with
someone in your life, which may be your “significant other” or
anyone else with whom you share a close relationship. Being geared
toward communication, it involves the participation of both you and
the other person.
A Personality "Face Lift":
This technique shows you your self-image of what kind of person you
are, and it helps you explore what kind of person you want to be.
This enables you to compare your image of who you are with who you
want to be, and it then shows you how to get from one to the other.
Creating Joy:
Most people don’t realize how important joy is to their well being.
This technique helps you see what makes you happy (i.e., what brings
joy into your life) and then shows you how to bring more of that
happiness into your life.
The Incredible Lightness of Your Being:
There is inside each of us a bright spark of divine light, but
unfortunately most of us have lost sight of it. Too often we define
ourselves by what is wrong or broken in our lives, and when we do
that, we let those definitions create who we are. To overcome that
darkness, we need to define ourselves by the divine light of our soul
instead. This technique will help you do that, and in the process, it
will also help you regain your sense of pride and self-respect.
Scouting ahead:
This technique shows you how to overcome potential pitfalls on the
way toward reaching a goal in your life so that you can reach that
goal. It also leads you to a better understanding of what to expect
when you finally get there, which is valuable since often our
expectations prove to be unreasonable. If you find that they are, you
may want to adjust them or alter your course so that you will arrive
at a different, more satisfactory, destination.
Brainstorming:
Brainstorming with Tarot cards is an effective technique to think up
ideas and solutions that takes advantage of the evocative quality of
the cards.
Follow your dreams:
We are often told to follow our dreams, but rarely are we told how to
accomplish that feat. While a few people seem to know exactly what
they want in life, for most of us, our understanding of our hopes and
dreams is not so clear. In order to follow our dreams, we must first
know what they are, but it can be very hard to differentiate them from
the expectations of our parents, our peers, and society in general --
not to mention the dictates of our egos. This technique shows you
how to find and follow the path of your dreams.
Coping with the death of a loved one:
This technique can help you find closure with a loved one who has
passed away so that you can release your attachment to your feelings
about that person. In a seeming irony, it also helps you remember
that person in such a way that you create a sacred space within your
heart for the lost loved one to live with you in peace. That sacred
space will take the place of what once had been a painful wound of
regret, blame, guilt, anger, or longing.
Your Own Fool's Journey:
Many Tarot authors have related accounts of the Fool’s journey of
spiritual development through the Major Arcana cards, but this
orderly progression is an over simplification to make the point easier
to grasp. Our lives are never so simple or orderly, but we can create
our own version of a Fool's Journey which is a valuable exercise in
self-exploration. To do this, you will explore your life experiences
and then write your own "Fool’s Journey" to tell the story of your
life -- past, present, and future -- with the twenty-two Major Arcana
cards.
What does a Tarot Empowerment Reading cost?
Here's the really great part. This is strictly on a donation basis. In
other words, you pay what you can / what you think the process is
worth to you.
Why am I structuring the payment this way? I want to do more of this
kind of reading, rather than the traditional "predictive" reading.
And so I want to spread the word about this kind of reading. If you
find it valuable, I hope you will tell your friends since I depend
mostly on word-of-mouth for expanding my practice.
So if you want to schedule a reading ... or if you have any questions
about this ... contact me.
