Hi, I would like any information people may have on using tarot with the healing arts. Are there any specific throws you can recommend? Has anyone had success with certain cards represent certain organ issues, or getting recommendation from the tarot on how to treat a situation? So far I have only been able to get very general information when working with people. I am hoping the tarot can give me more specifics on where to focus. I am especially interested in ways to gain more clarity and detail on specific health conditions, or guidance on helpful healing techniques, or info on what may be the root cause of the situation. For example, are there throws that might suggest a specific energetic approach with the client (ex: guided meditation, accupressure, angelic healing, laying on of hands), or herb, or even an angelic message on how to hep? Does anyone have throws that might clarify a specific past life issue, or energetic imbalance? Something that might indicate whether the root cause is emotional, spiritual, or in which energetic 'layer' to look? Thank you very much. I realize this is not a traditional use of the tarot, but I'd like to see what the tarot may offer in this regard. I am hoping to get help on a situation right now where I cannot determine the root cause, or what a good healing approach might be.

quan_yin have you ever used a chakra spread that utilizes seven cards in a line to represent the chakras? also for a book and deck dealing with these issuse the Jewels of the Lotus (Tibetan Gemstone Oracle) deck is really gorgeous if you like gemstones but also relates these stones to the organs that may be affected and the chakras they correspond to. this deck by Dawn Silver/ Pat Gullett is available at amazon and they give sample pages so you can see the descriptions and see if they feel right to you. i use this and my book by Michael Tierra The Spirit of Herbs: a guide to the herbal tarot (i just use RW with it) for healing issues. Good luck!
