Mental Health & Tarot
Tarot is an ongoing discovery and exploration of the self and your journey.
Mental health is also an ongoing process, both internally and externally. Tarot aids in navigating one’s internal emotional landscape and paring it with best actions out in the world. So, I think it is a great fit.
Just as a person is never done with their internal life and paring it with your actions in the physical world, the same is true of mental health. One never “wins.” “Yeah. I got mental health. I can move on to the next thing.”
FYI: In this vid, I am not going to point to specific cards, “Oh this one means you should go to therapy or do this or that.” I wouldn’t presume.
Mental health struggles are manifested in a myriad of ways. Can be a life-long condition or situational, prompted by any number of circumstances.
As with everything, the first step is recognizing where you are. What is going on with you. A spread to give context to your mental, emotional landscape, and exploring if there are perhaps physical or other reasons which you have not considered, can open you up as how to proceed.
Therapy and medication, I view as big components. Sort of like a skilled guide and a reliable compass as one works through the possibly difficult terrain of a mental health crisis or an ongoing challenge. Therapy and medication are not available to everyone, especially in the United States with its lack of universal healthcare. But be persistent. This is your life. Healthy choices.
Sidebar: I believe no one escapes brushes or encounters with mental health obstacles. Even the most together person in your life has dealt with it or will. Could be a temporary condition, just like a scraped knee or a broken bone is a one-time issue, or an ongoing chronic medical condition, none of us is immune to mental health challenges.
