Holistic Health Spread (mind/body/spirit)

ArtemisOrange

Hey there! This is my first time posting in these forums, but I just created this spread this evening (I did not check if it exists already...) and I wanted to share it. I hope any who try it share their results as I've only used it on one person so far, but it was with really great results. I'm very new to tarot (uhm... two days, hehe) but I seem to have quite the aptitude and trust the results I get. This is the third spread I've created on the fly/for the situation, although the others are less interesting. ;)


I call it a holistic spread because it's about the mind, body, and spirit/uality.

It starts with a chakra spread, and then one side of the 'body' is dedicated to reading spiritual and physical health. This isn't meant to diagnose or find any illness, just a general 'hey how ya feelin' kind of vibe.' The layout paints a picture of a human figure. I'll try to reproduce it here.

When I did this reading, I asked the querant to pick a card the represented themselves because I didn't know them that well. But it could easily be done without this card. The last card, #20, is a holistic (whole) view of the mind/body/spirit. I read this card last. I saved it like the ending of a mystery novel, the surprise ending.

I made a few changes to layout and questions that felt a little better.

I also read this for a second person and it was equally successful. I would love to see what happens for other folks. :D
