Today, I tried something new and pretty cool – tarot and meditation. I’ve heard a lot about these two, but never really gave them a shot together. So, I thought, why not? Let me walk you through what I did.
Setting the Scene
First off, I found a quiet spot in my apartment. You know, somewhere I could chill without being interrupted. I lit a couple of candles – nothing fancy, just some I had lying around – and put on some soft, instrumental music. I wanted to create a relaxing atmosphere, and it worked like a charm.
Starting with Meditation
I sat down on a cushion, closed my eyes, and started with some deep breathing. Inhale, exhale, the whole shebang. It took a few minutes, but I started feeling more at ease. I just focused on my breath, letting my thoughts drift by without clinging to them. It was like giving my brain a little break.
Bringing in the Tarot Cards
After about 10 minutes of meditation, I felt pretty zen. Then, I picked up my tarot deck. I’m a total newbie to tarot, so I kept it simple. I shuffled the cards while thinking about a general question I had in mind – nothing too specific, just something like “What should I focus on right now?” I drew three cards and laid them out.
Interpreting the Cards
- Card 1: This one was supposed to represent the past. I got a card that, from what I could understand, talked about past achievements and stability. It felt pretty accurate, thinking about where I’ve come from.
- Card 2: This card was about the present. It showed a figure in contemplation, which I interpreted as a need for introspection and maybe making some decisions. It resonated with me because I’ve been pondering some changes lately.
- Card 3: This was the future card. It was a hopeful one, suggesting new beginnings and potential. That was nice to see, especially since it aligned with the positive vibes I was feeling.
Reflecting and Wrapping Up
I spent some time just sitting with these cards, thinking about what they might mean for me. It wasn’t about predicting the future or anything, but more about getting a different perspective on things. After a while, I thanked the cards, put them away, and did a few more minutes of meditation to kind of seal the deal.
Honestly, the whole experience was surprisingly calming and insightful. It was a nice way to connect with myself and reflect on my current path. I’m not sure if I’ll do it every day, but it’s definitely something I’ll come back to. It’s like a little self-care ritual that helps clear the mind and focus on what matters. If you’re curious, I’d say give it a go. It’s a chill way to spend some time with yourself.
