Читать книгу Your Tarot Predictions for 2015 - Karmel Nair - Страница 17

This third and last element of Tarot is something I have acquired over the years of practice and experience, my personal contribution to enhancing Tarot readings and their potential to guide lives. Tarot doesn’t necessarily play a direct role of counsellor or a guide to spirituality but it does so indirectly, through me. When I started doing Tarot initially it was only limited to the above two elements, a medium to predict the future and to change your destiny by showing you the way forward. As I grew in my experience as a Tarot card reader I realised that most of my clients kept coming back to me to be healed and, most often, just to open up and pour out their heart to me. Most of my experiences revolved around helping clients battle their life ahead through constant motivational talks and strategies to help them create a better life.

This led me to study ‘Psychotherapy and Counselling’. I did my masters while I was practising Tarot and it helped me immensely to shape my clients’ lives for the better. The scientific understanding of human psychology enabled me to come up with interesting behavioural therapies, methods of psychotherapy and various ways of counselling. Sometimes I deployed assertive therapy, sometimes aggressive therapy, and sometimes plain pep talk therapy. My intervention as a Counsellor started making huge positive changes in my clients’ lives. They developed a more positive and healthy lifestyle and started achieving more out of themselves.

This art of positive reinforcement and scientific intervention was initiated through Tarot in my life. It helped me become an expert at reading the mind and heart and guiding my clients on the basis of these enhanced readings. I struck the right chords of intuition and scientific intervention to heal my patrons. This brought about a phenomenal change in my own perspective of life and a 360 degree shift in my outlook. I started seeing things differently. This is also the time Vipassana happened to me.

Vipassana is an art of self realisation, a way to Nirvana, the method practised and preached by Gautama Buddha. This further enlightened me and opened the door to spirituality. I dedicated a lot of time to studying spirituality and ways to attain self realisation through meditation. During this time I came upon various forms of meditation to heal my clients by helping them reduce stress related problems, address interpersonal issues, and guide them towards self realisation.

Self-realisation is an overwhelming concept or perhaps it is the perception that makes it so. Hence I will dwell a little more on its details to give you a brief understanding of what this concept truly means with respect to Tarot and how each of these three benefits that you derive from Tarot are interrelated.
