HELP FOR THE HOLIDAYS TECHNIQUE
![]() The holiday season is a hectic time for most people. Even if you're filled with holiday spirit and energy, there may be days (or weeks) when you or a client would just as soon say "Bah, Humbug!" And for many, this time of year is a real emotional challenge. If you would like to feel better than you do, or if you are reading for someone who is struggling to improve their mood, Tarot can help. Before I show you how, there is a basic principle that must first be understood. Our emotional spectrum is composed of a series of vibratory steps. Although it is entirely possible to move through these steps from a place of sadness, grief or anxiety to a place of joy, this cannot be done in a single leap. No doubt there are miraculous exceptions to this principle but for most of us, the process is usually experienced one step at a time. Distance is not the same thing as time, however, so it is possible to feel considerably better soon -- as long as you know which steps to take to get there. This is where this technique can help. OVERVIEW: This is a conscious technique using tarot cards which can guide you along the path to feeling better than you do now. Does it have a name? I don't know, how about Happy Trails? (Please, if you can think of a better one, let me know!) STEP ONE: Choose a deck that pleases you. Look through the cards and select one that represents how you feel now. There may be something about the picture that speaks to you, or a bit of card knowledge you have that directs your choice. It doesn't really matter as long as the card in some way mirrors your current emotional experience. Examples: sad / 5 of Cups rushed / 8 of Wands angry / Temperance overwhelmed / 10 of Wands Take this card and place it face-up in front of you. STEP TWO: Look through the deck again and this time, find a card that shows how you would *like* to feel. Examples: joyous / The Sun free / The Fool relaxed / The Star social / 3 of Cups Place this card to the right of the first one, leaving a space large enough to put one more card. STEP THREE: You will soon be performing a random draw of a card that will give you direction about what to do next to help you along your journey to happiness. If you are comfortable enough with the cards to find helpful information in all of them -- even the "difficult" ones -- then shuffle the deck and move on to Step Four. If not... Go through the deck one more time and remove any cards you would not like to see come up for you at this time. Then shuffle the remaining cards. STEP FOUR: Using any method you like, select one card at random from the cards you have chosen to work with. Place this card face-up in the space between the other two. This middle card will tell you how to get closer to your emotional goal. It is the first step along the way and probably not the last (but I'm getting ahead of myself). This is a card to contemplate. The guidance you seek may be obvious right away or it may take some thought. Let it suggest an action or change of perspective that is something you can actually do now to help you feel better. A Real Example: 10 of Wands (left) - I presently feel overwhelmed and anti-social. 3 of Cups (right) - I would like to feel comfortable and celebratory. Queen of Cups (center) - This Queen is very adept at handling emotional ups and downs. The most important thing for me to remember is to go with the flow. Also, look at small children enjoying themselves and remember their playful energy. (I got this from the cherubs on her throne.) Place this card in the center of your 3-card spread for as long as it's appropriate. STEP FIVE: It is possible that a single step is all you need to raise your emotional vibration to the level you desire. It is likely, however, that this will be achieved incrementally. If needed, here's how to continue the process: Once you have successfully worked with the suggestion in the middle card, repeat Step Two and choose a new card to represent your current state. Assuming you wish to keep your "destination" card the same, repeat Step Four to find the next step to take to bring you closer to where you wish to be. (You can change course at any time by choosing a new destination card.) You may find that you or your client are ready to take the next step right away, or it may take awhile. The timing will vary depending upon the person and circumstances. HAPPY TRAILS: Continue with this practice until you identify with your destination card or for as long as you find it useful. I have personally found it a valuable technique for feeling better any time of the year. –– Ruth Ann Amberstone ![]() UNWRAPPING THE POSTER ART FOR THE 2020 READERS STUDIO!
