Whether or not you practice, tarot holds wisdom for everyone. From mindfulness exercises to working through regrettable choices, here are ways you can bring your future into your own hands:
🙏 Set your intentions
The practice of tarot is centered on self-reflection: it involves drawing cards that speak to you, and carving out time for yourself. But there are many other ways to do this! Especially during a time when our routines are out of whack, it's easy to overextend yourself to take care of loved ones. But, as Rachel Wilkerson Miller says, you can't fully show up for the people in your life until you know how to do the same for yourself. Check out this illustrated guide for more tips.
🧠 Build your own prep routine
If you're a budding reader, you may feel overwhelmed by the different ways you can shuffle the deck, or worried that you may be doing something wrong. But as Tea says, there are no set rules: what's most important is your mindset. Rather than ruminating on the outcomes of your decision, try focusing on how you feel in the moment. Try meditation exercises, as Jon Kabat-Zinn suggests, or practice active listening to clear your mind from distractions.
📚 Try different readings
You can give different tarot readings, depending on who's giving them and whom you're reading for. Having a choice to make means there's an opportunity to take your future into your own hands. It’s not something we get to do everyday, which is why it can be extra tough! But remember that with each decision you make, you’ll have an opportunity to reflect on your values, and ultimately, learn more about yourself. |
