Can tarot be of any help if you want to practice yoga?

Posted on by Dr. Alberto Parra

One of the aspects tarot readers love about this practice is its versatility. You can use tarot to predict your future, learn about your present, and improve your daily living.

But can you guide the practice of another discipline such as yoga through tarot?

Tarot as an oracle

Major and minor arcana in tarot have different energies and symbols. Depending on your deck, you may have extra clues to apply your readings to a given circumstance.

Take the magician as an example. The card symbolizes the manifestation of an intention into reality. In Love readings, it shows a dedicated lover that makes you feel amazing. But it can also be read as the archetype of masculinity and hard work.

Such a variety of meanings are linked to a single essence: focus and personal power.

You can see that archetype in daily living, almost every day. When a reading has the magician as its main focus, it’s an oracle drawing your attention to this aspect of life. If you respond by trusting yourself and doing your best, you’ll probably have a different view of otherwise routinary or sometimes chaotic events in life.

That insight you gain by changing your view is what makes an oracle so powerful.

Oracles for yoga and their applications

There are hundreds of oracles out there, and some can be applied to yoga. Tarot itself can be helpful because both practices share a common ground.

They both encourage personal growth and mindfulness. Moreover, there are tarot cards such as the magician, which promote the alignment of mind and body.

Integrating tarot into your yoga practice can gradually deepen your understanding of each pose. For instance, when you’re making the Warrior Pose I embodied as The Magician, your mind can be centered on much more than holding the stance. You’re internalizing grounded strength, upward aspiration, and the positive effects of combining your power and concentration.

Set your yoga intention with tarot cards

Have you ever drawn a tarot spread to set your intention before a yoga session? You can use a single card or a few to practice different stances and get your mind focused on an archetype.

In some cases, it can take your practice to completely new levels.

For instance, the corpse pose in yoga can help you relax and it is great to promote quality sleep. But what if you link this pose to The Death tarot card? It prompts the need to quietly gather strengths before facing big life changes. It may help you let go if something you enjoy is near its end.

There are poses linked to each tarot card, and you can use them as an experienced yoga practitioner or a newcomer. Discover the creativity of bringing tarot and yoga together and draw your next tarot spread in a completely new way.

Wondering how you can do it? “Yoga Through Tarot Cards: 50 Embodied Practices Inspired by the Major & Minor Arcana” is a publication by professional yoga teacher and tarot reader, Lou Thomas you can obtain here. It will guide you through the deep interactions between tarot and yoga and how it can strengthen your yoga practice.

After reading and applying its creative insights, you will gain a completely new view of an ancestral practice that makes you stay connected with yourself and the rest of the world.

Can we explore health and wellness topics with tarot?

Posted on by alexesguerra

People’s perception of tarot gradually improves as they leave many myths and misconceptions behind. Still, most consultants come to a tarot reader to find out what the future holds, which is, of course, one of many applications of cartomancy.

However, more than a tool to predict the future, tarot can be a passageway to explore our current issues and potential in a new light. It can bring our attention to latent health problems and help us identify and solve them thoroughly.

Tarot in health: is it an accurate diagnostic tool?

Tarot is not like an MRI scan or a blood test. It doesn’t work that way. These diagnostic tools instantly depict a complex system with ever-changing variables, giving us the current state and nothing more.

Tarot goes beyond that and helps us visualize how the strings move deep inside, and its more likely outcome. It can show a potential health problem that may arise in the future, a tendency dictated by our habits, or a current issue we’re going through.

So, instead of considering tarot readings a diagnostic tool, we can use it to identify red flags and act accordingly. Cards with running water like the star may show a tendency for blood circulation issues. A nine of swords upright can show insomnia problems and other cards around it can give us the reason. When reversed, wand cards suggest bone and joint disease.

However, instead of a diagnosis, a health spread gives us a helpful map to guide us through prevention and may sometimes suggest a medical check.

Tarot in wellness: how can we make life-changing improvements?

Therapeutic readings hold a hidden potential many people do not know about tarot. As with health topics, a wellness reading can explore something that lies deep inside. In this case, inner motivations and the subconscious mind.

Is there anything blocking you emotionally? What can you do to move forward and leave the past behind? These questions can make a big difference in a tarot reading.

You stop living on auto-pilot when you realize what drives you and why. It’s the first step to solving emotional problems, strengthening connections with others, and living life to the fullest. Tarot can help us do that. However, it always requires something of us.

Getting a two of pentacles in a reading may show a tendency to hold everything on your own. You may feel better after learning to relegate work, trust others, and alleviate your burden. As a suggestion, the tower may show it’s now the moment to question your convictions and think out of the box. A page of swords may uncover trust issues and the tendency to be wary of others and their intentions.

Based on this type of reading, you can identify what needs to be done to live a more fulfilling life. This view allows much more than exploring your future. It helps you choose what you prefer and build your own story.

Can you make the shift?

A tiny change in your tarot questions can make a big difference. Instead of only wondering what will happen in the future, why not ask how to improve the outcome?

These questions help you look beyond a simple reading, and it also helps if you have a clear maze with the right size and illustrations. We have many options on this site; not only the usual Rider Waite but other alternative decks as well as oracles, Lenormand cards, and much more.
