Better Communication through Tarot

WRITTEN BY: MICHELLE PELLIN (continued)

After the class finished, I decided to begin a one-card pull on social media every morning. If I wasn’t motivated for myself, perhaps having an audience would motivate me more. And it worked! I soon increased it to a three-card pull, which I still do every morning on FB and IG (@spiritualtherapyCT).

And yes, the cards finally began to stick! I was ready to do readings! However, I believe that spirit had other ideas why I needed to learn them.

By day, I am a holistic psychotherapist, a mental health professional that is dedicated to the mind, body, and spirit. At times, when I am with a client, I find myself in the “zone”. This is often what you’ll hear athletes, musicians, and writers describe when they allow the subconscious or “autopilot” to take over. I can hear myself talking directly to my client, however, the words are not originating from my prefrontal cortex (or judgment center) anymore. Instead, they are coming from my higher self. And my higher self apparently likes to use the language of Tarot! For example, I may see a flash of the “Fool” card in my mind to help the client understand to proceed with caution, or the “Five of Wands” to help them deal with conflict.

This has also been happening in my mediumship readings with clients. I will often get the “Lovers” card from the spirit communicator if the relationship in life with the sitter was solid, the “Tower” card if the spirit experienced tragedy, or the “Queen of Wands” if the spirit had closeted gifts in life.
