Tarot can be a versatile tool for many things. It has
long been used to understand the repetitive patterns
of ones life, to predict movement of those patterns or
to anticipate changes in them. But Tarot can also be
used as a focus for your meditation and help you
concentrate better on that which you would like to
create in your life, your environment and yourself.
Take a few minutes to calm and relax yourself, to put
aside the details of your day. Take several deep
breaths and feel the tension ease away, letting go of
worry and care for just a moment. Feel yourself calm
and center with each deep breath in and let go of
strife with each exhale. Take your deck of Tarot
cards and search out the Ten of Coins, Ten of Cups and
the Empress. Place them face up in front of you, the
tens side by side and the Empress above, in a
triangular pattern. These cards represent
fulfillment, abundance, fertility, wishes made true
and our ability to bring into the physical world that
which we desire. Take your time studying each card in
turn. Concentrate on the symbols on your cards.
Study the details and pay attention to which ones leap
out at you and grab your attention. Next allow your
thoughts to center on the idea of abundance and
welcoming it into your life at this time. Think of
all the ways that it is already present. Sometimes we
don't recognize abundance right away, so take some
time to remember all the ways in which it may already
have appeared. Now combine the details that
appealed to you from the cards and the ways in which
you have seen abundance manifest for you and see
yourself building on this to bring even more of what
you need right now into your life. Imagine yourself
open to the opportunities that will come your way, see
yourself accepting the gifts the universe has to
offer, know that you will begin to recognize these
chances when they come into your life.
Contemplating these images will help you create in
your mind the idea that abundance and fulfillment are
yours, that you are open to improvement of
circumstances and that you are ready for positive
movement and growth, ready for your dreams to be
realized. You are the most powerful force in your
life, use your visualization to see yourself improving
and growing and accomplishing your goals.
When you have finished you can gather the cards back
up or choose to leave them set up like they are for a
day or two, somewhere out of the way but where you
will see them frequently to remind you to be aware and
open to possibilities.
