What the cards tell you...

A friend of mine told a story of an amazing Tarot Counselling experience. It was the first time I've heard of it being used as a method of self-development and not the usual fortune telling kind. Initially I was quite sceptical with the whole thing. She has always been quite religious, and for her to try something like that seemed to be against her own person. But she was having problems which was all consuming and she needed some kind of explanation. Strangely enough the cards really opened up her mind and provided her with the assurance she was looking for. It wasn't so much that the cards could tell her right or wrong, it wasn't that the cards could tell her what to do next; the cards simply helped her connect all the dots. All the facts and information that surrounded her but failed to reach her comprehension. It helped her see, and when she escaped blindness she gained confidence. She is slowly gathering courage to move on.

Everybody can use some kind of Tarot Counselling experience of some sort sometimes. It does not even have to come in the form of a tarot card reading. It can come in a form of reading an inspirational book, or listening to a good music, or just conversing with someone. What everybody needs is an experience where the mind is opened and for once, things become clearer; things begin to make sense.

I had my Tarot experience yesterday. It was enlightening, calming and interesting. Have you had yours?
