TAROT HELP YOU CONNECT WITH YOUR HIGHER SELF

- — THERESA CHEUNG

So this week, I decided to talk about my love, my life, and my passion….Yes, I will talk about the Tarot. Tarot is a divinatory tool, which can help you connect with your higher self to traverse into your past, present and future. It is a pack of 78 cards that mirrors every human experience; the good and the bad, the mundane and the special, love and hate, inspiratio­n and fear, oppression, and freedom, birth and death! A Tarot reading should not only be used for fortune-telling, it can help you in more ways than you can imagine. A Tarot reading can increase your self-awareness, help you define your passions, and overcome the obstacles that are standing in the way of achieving them.

It provides you with an opportunit­y to pay attention to what’s happening in the present moment. It’s an invitation to get curious about what step might prove to be aligned with your ‘higher purpose’. For example, you are feeling happy and you pull the Five of Cups, which is associated with grief. It could be an invitation to ask yourself a question like, “I am carrying residual grief from the past?”

Tarot reading helps you decide what actions will lead you on the right path. For instance, you may have several ideas for your business that you want to pursue, and you may be feeling overwhelme­d with the small details that go into it. If you pull a Ten of Wands, this card suggests you consider how many “wands” you can carry without getting burned out. You may need to find ways to check off a few items, you might decide you no longer need to complete certain steps, or you may consider delegating some actions to others.

Tarot cards are great at giving relationsh­ip advice. It can help you understand the energies you and your partner are bringing into the relationsh­ip giving you perspectiv­e about what your partner desires and how you both can nourish the relationsh­ip.

My dear reader, I wish that this week, you become more open to the divinatory tool called Tarot. Tarot readings are a beautiful way to learn more about yourself, your ideals, and your life goals. I suggest that you try a Tarot session so that it makes you feel more connected to the universal consciousn­ess and more aware of the fact that you are so much more than just a human being.

“IN OTHER WORDS, TAROT READINGS ARE AN ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND OURSELVES BETTER AND DISCOVER HOW WE MIGHT LIVE BETTER IN THE FUTURE.”
