What Is Tarot & How Often Should I Get A Reading?

What Is Tarot & How Often Should I Get A Reading?

Well, I'm going to explain my own personal take on Tarot. Tarot is a very personal process and many people have their own understanding of what Tarot means to them.

I use Tarot cards as a tool to give guidance/advice and some insight to different situation and areas of life.

Each Tarot deck has 78 cards and each of these individual cards holds its own meaning, a story behind it. Good Tarot readers will use intuition and understanding of each card to see what the cards are trying to tell us in each reading.

Tarot can tell us information about our past, any issues or blockages we have, things happening in our present and even give us a glimpse of how our futures could potentially look like! Now the future part usually gets people all excited thinking the tarot will predict exactly how their life will pan out. But that's not quite how it works.

Every person has free will! We all make our own choices and decisions in our lives which will have either a positive or negative effect. Tarot cards can give us advice and guidance and a will point out things that MAY happen in your future IF YOU want them too and if you follow the guidance given by the cards. Its your choice if you take the advice given by the Tarot cards or not. If something comes up in your present or future part of a reading which you don't like then YOU CAN change it. You have free will. The Tarot will never leave you hanging so to speak, they will always give you some advice and guidance on where to make changes, which road to take etc etc.

Now, how often should you get a reading done?

Well this is a very personal issue but in reality there is absolutely no point going from one reader to the next asking the same questions expecting different answers. Tarot reading need to be respected and over use will end in confusion, which is exactly the opposite to why most people would get a Tarot Reading.

Now there is no reason why you cant get Tarot Readings done often IF they are for different areas of your life. Most people really like having one reading concentrating on one area of life, such as, love, work, family etc. I personally wouldn't get a reading done myself more than once a fortnight when focusing on a particular areas of my life and each new reading being on a different topic.

If getting a general reading for guidance, advice and insight on your life as a whole then there really isn't much point of getting them done more than a few months apart. You need to give your life a chance to live. You need to allow things to happen and a chance and move forward, these changes don’t always happen within a few days or even months. If you continue to get general reading on a weekly basis on the same area/subject then again – you’re running into the risk of confusion and the same advice coming through in all your readings.

So that’s  a little bit of info on my own take of Tarot – now some people may feel differently, Tarot is very personal to the reader and the querent. You may find a Tarot Reader who is willing to do reading after reading for you, my advice would be to avoid these types of readers, especially if you are paying them for readings as they are most likely just wanting to take your money not actual offer you real guidance and insight. All of the fantastic Tarot Reader I know will not do the same reading for someone time and time again, then ask for the querent to give a reasonable amount of time between reading before approaching the same subject again.

Time For Some Self Healing 5 Top Tips

Self Healing ~ 5 Top Tips

We should make time during our busy lives for some self healing. The stresses and strains of our days can have a massive impact on our life force energy (or Chi), our natural vibrational frequencies get lower due to stress, worry, anxiety and the daily grind. When our Chi is lower than it should be we start to feel unwell, run down and can even become depressed.

Here are some of my top tips on how you can easily and quickly raise your vibrations and heal yourself.

1. Grounding ~ This is a simple but very effective technique which just involved taking a walk outside bear foot. Walk along some grass or the beach. Your body will naturally absorb the Earth energy thus raising your own to a healthier level. Bear foot walking is one of my favorite things to do.

2. Meditation ~ Ok so many of us often think we don't have time to meditate and many really can't find a hour or so to sit in mediation but everyone can find 10 minutes, and sometimes that is all we need to raise our energy levels. Sit with your eyes closed in a comfortable position and imagine your body soaking up the pure white light energy from the world. Keep your mind empty from other things, if something random pops into your head, just brush it away and enjoy your moments of calmness.

3. Drink Water ~ Yes we'r told time and time again to drink water and so many of us choose to ignore this sound advice but this can have a massive positive impact of your overall health. So ditch the fizzy drinks, swap a few of those cups of coffee's for a cold glass of fresh water.

4. Enjoy Time Outside ~ Take some time out to enjoy nature. This could be a walk in the local park or by the beach or even in your garden. Feel the energy coming from the nature around you and soak it up like a sponge. research has show that people who spend more time around nature rarely get sick and they seem happier than those who don't.

5. Balance Your Chakras ~ Having balanced Chakras is vital to our overall wellness but so many people don't know where to start when it comes to Chakras. You could go to visit an energy healer who could balance these for you or you can very easily do this yourself with a very simple meditation. Check out this link to one of my favorite YouTube Channels ~ Jason Stephenson ~ he has a fantastic video to help you.

Take time our of your day for some self healing and I can guarantee you will begin to feel a whole lot better.

From Shitty To Shiny

How I went from shitty to shiny with spiritualism

www.holistichonnies.com

Ok so this is my first ever blog post and I wanted to start with something meaningful to me. My story from how I went from shitty to shiny. This may draw up some emotional shit for me as I write it so I may just grab some tissues, as a snotty tear filled keyboard isn't cool. Don't worry ... .... this story does have a happy ending ;)

So ... ... I was 6 months pregnant with my 3rd baby but life wasn't feeling too rosy, in fact, its was pretty fucking shitty. Myself and my partner were fighting all the time, it didn't seem to matter how much effort we both made we would still end up in a big row, spouting nasty words to each other which we couldn't take back. My mood was low and getting lower each and every day.​​ We both made the decision that we had to end our relationship if we wanted to remain friends things had to change and breaking up seemed like the only option.

I was heart broken. He was my soul mate and my best friend, we had been through so much together, but I knew I had to let him go or I would loose him forever. As much as I wanted to hold onto him I knew we would just keep hurting each other so I had to let go.

But sadly things didn't get any better even after we separated. We still continued to fight about everything, we kept in regular contact due to the kids, but even the basic of communication would end up in a whirl of spiteful and nasty words. He would verbally attack me and I would verbally attack him, in some form of weird self-destructive torture kind of way. My mood was even lower, the lowest I think it had even been.

I cried constantly. I used to have to go and hide in the bathroom desperately trying to compose myself so that my 2-year-old daughter didn't see me cry .... but she did! Sometimes the tears would come without any notice and I had no control over them. Having my daughter wrap her arms around me and ask why I was crying was such a soul destroying thing to happen. I was her mother ... ... ... I was meant to wipe her tears away ... ... ... I was meant to be her hero not this emotional mess of a so called human being! ​​

3 months went by like this, I was suffering from insomnia, I was depressed, I would burst into tears at any point and spent most of the nights crying and trying to fight away the evil dark and hideous thoughts which run through my mind. I tried to act normal to my friends and family and so many of them said how well I was coping ... ... ... Oh, if only they knew the war I was fighting with myself every second of the day. I was dying inside.

Then .... ... ... I went into labour ... ... ... suddenly I felt emotions which I had forgotten were possible. I was excited, happy and filled with joy. It seemed so long ago when I last felt these types of emotions. It was nice :) My labour was pretty dam amazing too. My dad JUST managed to get me to the hospital in time. I think we were there about 10 minutes before my beautiful baby girl entered the world. I didn't even have the chance to take my underwear off and the midwife had to rip them off me like some crazy mad women just to get to the baby. Very amusing I must say.

But this joy was short lived, not long after we got home from the hospital I was faced with being alone again, this time with a newborn baby to care for. I was so scared. What if I couldn't cope? What if my new baby didn't sleep well? How would I look after my other children if I was up all night with the baby? How will I manage all my housework? Shopping? Looking after my dog?

Turned out none of these issues were in fact issues. Baby girl slept through the night from our first day home ... ... ... ah, bliss ... ... .. I seemed to go on autopilot mode during the day and my housework was always done, my other children were cared for ... even my big ass smelly dog had plenty of love and attention. To the outside world I looked like I was holding my shit down, I looked like super fucking mum!

But the internal turmoil and battle with my constant feeling of grief and sadness was still very much there. Ok so I now didn't cry during the day but my nights were filled with tears and anguish. I hated myself. I hated myself for still feeling so sad, I hated myself for not being able to snap out of this depression, I hated myself for crying, I hated myself for failing. ​​ I hated myself for not knowing how to help myself.

Another 4 months passed feeling this way, but then things started to shift in me. I no longer had any contact with my ex. He moved abroad and had no contact with the kids or myself. As much as this hurt knowing my kiddies no longer had their dad around, it helped me to start to heal. I had finally mastered meditation, after about 6 long ass months of trying to nail it. It's not easy to master at all. How on earth some people can meditate for hours and hours and hours is beyond me. ​​ But I was now able to get myself into a deep meditation for about an hour, which I did daily.

This seemed to open something up inside me, it changed how I saw the world, my past, my present and my future. I was able to think about my past situation and see all the things I had done wrong in the relationship, I was able to see how I relied on my ex-partner as my emotional crutch, I had forgotten how to make myself happy and expected him to be the master of my emotions, and how difficult this must have been for him. I was taking responsibility for my own failing and mistakes which allowed me to move on.

Suddenly ... ... ... I realized ... ... ... I hadn't cried for about 3 weeks!!! I hadn't felt depressed, I hadn't felt guilt or grief or wanting to put my head through a window lol I noticed I hadn't thought about my past or future in a negative way or worrying about what might happen! What on earth was going on with me? Where had this shift come from? What was causing it?

I started to notice blogs and articles and post all about spiritual awakening .. ... ... everywhere I turned I would see something about spiritual awakening or 'the higher self'. At first I paid no attention to this as I had no idea what it was about, but then it got to the point I could escape from it .... ... ... it was stalking me!! So I decided to read a blog post which was named something like "10 signs your experiencing a spiritual awakening".

BOOM!

There it was ... ... 10 whole paragraphs explaining in accurate detail what I was currently experiencing. It all resonated with me massively. It was as if the article was written just for me. This left me feeling amazed but also confused. So I started reading more, and more and more .. ... .. I think I must have read every spiritual article on the internet. Then I turned to YouTube and watched video after video. Then books .... oh the amount of book I purchased and read was outstanding ... still is lol. All the information I was absorbing was like someone was writing it all just for me to read. I noticed myself changing, understand my past, present and future.

SYNCHRONICITY! ​​

I soon realised that my daily meditation had awakened my spirituality and I was connecting with my higher self. I was living in the present moment and being mindful on a daily basis. My research and self study into spirituality had allowed me to grow, awakened and was on my way to becoming a better person, I was following my passion and soul purpose. ​​I knew I had to share my knowledge with others, people who were feeling like I did needed to learn how to get their happy back, like I did. And that's when I chose to set up Holistic Honnies.

My Happy Ending!! ​​

We’re now 3 years down the road. I can't remember the last time I had a 'bad day'. I can't remember the last time I felt sadness or cried due to my own circumstances. I cry a lot more about happy things, though. I have a constant happy vibe inside me and I'm a positive little thing :) My spiritual journey is far from complete, I'm growing every day and I crave more information on spiritual growth. My life feels perfect. I don't care how soppy that sound or if it sounds a bit like a Disney movie, but it's true. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Chances are you are reading this blog for a reason! Something brought you to this page and made you read it right till the end! It's called synchronicity! No one has to suffer their dark times alone and if you, like me don't want to 'bother' your friends and family with your issues then seeking outside help in the form of a counsellor or mentor can really help. Please don't suffer alone. The universe believes you are an amazing being, even if you don't currently feel like it. Ask for help, reach out and believe that tomorrow will be a brighter day! Love and light to you all, Lisajane xx
