Tarot A Means Of Self Discovery

The workbook Tarot for Self Discovery is a helpful guide in the use of tarot cards as a tool leading towards heightened self-awareness and self-development. The workbook was created as an inspiration to Mary K Breer’s Tarot for Your Self. This book is designed to help beginners in learning more about tarot and how to apply tarot into their daily lives. The workbook does not contain card photographs or lists of special keywords. Therefore, it is helpful for an individual to have at least a basic understanding of tarot.

In the workbook, Nina Lee Braden has designed over fifty exercises that vary in difficulty and length. Through the use of these tarot exercises, one is given greater insight into the discovery of one’s inner self. The exercises evaluate our strengths, psychology and weaknesses. By figuring out what areas we are weak in as individuals, we are able to improve upon and eliminate these weaknesses.

By doing this, we are leading ourselves down a path of self-fulfillment and self-satisfaction. The only thing that a person needs in accordance with the workbook is a deck of tarot cards. This type of workbook does not require sequential working but instead an individual can randomly choose exercises. The exercises increase in intensity and complexity.

If you are a novice of tarot, it is recommended that you start at the beginning. If you find that you are having trouble with an exercise or are in need of a dose of inspiration just remember that there are real-life examples of others in the back of the book. These are examples of other individuals who used the exercises to gain a greater insight and perspective into their life. These testimonials can prove beneficial in a number of different ways.

The workbook is split into three different categories. The categories are easy, intermediate and exercises designed for special occasions. The uses of these exercises vary from fun to imaginative to frivolous to serious.

Some of the exercises include constructing a tarot neighborhood, picking out people in tarot cards with the best legs, exercises to re-experience hope in a time of need and exercises on how to deal with the tragedy of a loss. Even the most frivolous of the exercises can help an individual gain insight into their life. The author of the workbook reminds the reader only to use the exercises appropriately. The reader should do a positive re-working if the reader is in need of greater self-esteem. This re-working may also be needed if an individual desires to feel evenly balanced, needs a mental shaking or a deep psyche delving.

It is recommended that the reader completes each exercise and reflects on the concrete lesson that the exercise is designed to stress. The workbook should be used with a deck of personal tarot cards. When used together the workbook and deck of tarot cards form a duo that becomes a useful tool leading towards increased self-awareness.
As an individual, it is in your best interest to act on these insights.

These insights will allow you to focus on areas in your life that you need to change. This workbook is designed to assist people in gaining a more positive outlook on life.

Anyone can make their life better. The first step towards a better life is taking responsibility for your actions and the events that happen in life. Once you are sitting in the driver’s seat you will be able to take over your life. This is one of the most important steps that an individual can take. In order to achieve our goals we must be willing to sit in the driver’s seat. Tarot will help us gain the confidence needed to switch from being just a passenger to a driver in our life.
