21 Day Tarot Challenge to promote self-awareness

March 2020 our region was put under lock down, AKA, community quarantine. A year later, you’d think we’d be making progress. Instead, we’re back to community quarantine for… well… we’re not really sure. Too many reasons. Too many ways to blame. And we can only hope for the proposed solutions to be executed and to work.

Knowing what prolonged lock downs and community quarantines did to the sanity of most people, I thought to finally do this challenge that I have been putting off for a while.

It’s something that my local intuitive community has started to promote self-awareness. And I hope to spread it further by coming late into the game. ^_^

CHALLENGE OVERVIEW

The challenge, simply put, is to draw a tarot card a day that will answer the prompt or question for that day.

c/o Mysterium, my local intuitiive community

While the overall intention is to promote self-awareness, the challenge itself helps with 2 things: (1) develop a relationship with the Tarot; and (2) provide a space in the day for reflection. And the added bonus is with this kind of reflection, you're able to focus your intuitive energy. As a result, you're less scattered (lutang) and able to ground yourself even for just a few minutes a day.

You don’t have to be a Tarot expert to do this. It’s fine if you’ve little to no experience handling the Tarot. So if you have one and have not been leafing through the cards (and maybe you’re on lock down and you suddenly have extra idle time in your hands), then you might as well start now.

Develop your intuition this way.

WHAT DECK TO USE

Any Tarot deck would do. If you are a beginner, start with ones with art that are “easy” to read… less abstract. But it’s your choice. Maybe you’re more comfortable to work with the more abstract Tarot decks so go with that.

Pick the one you’re resonating towards. This can even be how you’re starting off with developing your intuition. ^_^ If you have several or are still "screen" shopping, go with the deck that "calls to you".

For myself, I’m using 7 Tarot decks – Rider Waite Tarot Deck, The Wild Unknown Tarot Deck, Tarot in Wonderland, Revelations Tarot, Mystical Manga Tarot, Everyday Witch Tarot, and The Light Seer's Tarot. Each day, Each day would mean a different Tarot card from a different deck.

I’m doing this challenge on my Instagram account so hop on over there! If you’re joining, drop your IG handle here or comment on one of my posts on IG so we can follow each other on this.

WHEN TO START

Start when you’re ready. I have actually already started last week on my Instagram account ~ @guidedspreads.

This is also a mindful practice that you’re starting for yourself. So if you don’t have one yet, maybe a visual and reflective practice would be something you’d like to do. I have a FREE guide that gives 3 simple mindful practices you can do without any fancy tools. Check it out here.

TIP: When you pick your card each day, do it with my Sound Bath Saturdays playlist (FB) playing in the background.

PRO TIP: You can even enhance this practice by lighting up some incense or diffusing an essential oil. I recommend Frankincense + Lavender for this. Both stimulate the Third Eye and the Crown Chakra for expanded awareness.
