The Body Mind Spirit Link
The holistic concept that the body, mind, and spirit are connected is ancient and multicultural. This week we explore how this concept can fit with healing, growth, and divination. We also discuss how this concept can help and potentially hurt us.
These days we hear about the connection between body, mind, and spirit everywhere. Our medical doctors, our yoga studios and fitness centers, our self-help gurus, and our spiritual leaders all stress this important philosophy.
The body, the mind, and the spirit do not function independently of one another. The more we can focus our self-care practices and lifestyle choices to integrate the needs of these three aspects of self, the happier and healthier we will be.
At least that is how the theory goes.
But how did this concept begin?
While we may believe this is a crunchy ideology borne of the 1980s New Age movement, this concept is far older.
There is evidence of understanding of the Body, Mind, Spirit link that dates back to early Greek philosophers, and that appears in the languages of many lands.
In Japanese, the word ‘kokoro’ describes the heart energy of a person who has their body, mind, and spirit working in harmony.
Is it true that there is benefit in understanding ourselves as being made up of three important parts, body, mind, and spirit? I think there absolutely is. I think wellbeing involves finding as much balance in life as possible. If we understand the parts that need balancing, finding that balance point becomes much easier.
I also think it is possible to take this sort of thinking to an unhealthy and impractical extreme. For example, we know that creative visualization is an important technique for manifestation and healing. We know that positive thoughts can attract positive things. Yet, we also know that it can be hard to have positive thoughts when we are not feeling well. It is easy to get into a loop of feeling shame for feeling sad for feeling unwell, and then believing that those feelings will block healing. The truth is that a lot of unwell people are sad, angry, depressed, and upset. Many of them heal, nonetheless.
When we consciously explore the link between the body, the mind, and the spirit, we discover power that can lead us to self-understanding, personal healing, and clarity on goals, abilities, and options. We can do this successfully without holding ourselves to greater-than-human impossible standards.
To acknowledge that our physical wellbeing is tied to our mental and spiritual wellbeing does not necessitate perfection of mind and spirit. Acknowledging the connection between the different parts of self allows us new ways to address our healing. At the same time, as imperfect beings on an imperfect planet, we need to remember that whatever we do to bring connection, healing, and understanding is a help. There are some things we cannot bring because grief, pain, and practicalities get in the way. This lack should never be our focus, nor our fear.
The StaarCorner
I am sad to report that this week, after a long illness, StaarCon 2022 headliner Rachel Pollack has left her earthly form. The entire StaarCon community extends their love, appreciation, and condolences to Rachel’s wife Zoe, and to all who will feel the absence of Rachel in their lives.
Rachel Pollack and Mary K. Greer have been the tarot mothers of several generations of modern tarotists. I first met Rachel and Mary at tarot conferences in the 1990s. I was honored to have the privilege of presenting with them at the Masters of Tarot Conference at the Omega Institute in 2021.
It is the opportunity to learn from each other, and to become friends with each other, that makes our conferences so special, and so necessary.
Rachel Pollack was one of a kind. Beyond her accomplishments in the tarot world, she was an award-winning science fiction author, as well as a creator for DC Comics. Her life story reminds us that we tarotists can be multi-talented. Her life story continues to inspire us to work toward inclusion and visibility for our diverse tarot community members.
That there are so many wonderful divination creators, authors, and teachers to share their wisdom at StaarCon 2024 is a testament to the decades-long legacy that Rachel leaves us.
Please make your plan to be a part of the sacred community and join us January 19-21, either in West Palm Beach or online on Accelevents.
Body Mind Spirit Card Spread
My favorite three-card spread is ‘Body Mind Spirit’. You can do this spread with tarot, or with any oracle deck.
The basic premise of this spread is easy. You have one card for Body, one card for Mind, and one card for Spirit.
The spread becomes complex when we consider the question we are asking as we lay out these cards. Is this a general check on wellbeing? Are we asking where we need to turn our attention? Are we asking what we need to know to be better at self-care?
When you perform the Body Mind Spirit spread, take a moment to focus on why you are doing this spread, and what you hope to learn. You might phrase a specific question around your overall wellbeing before you pull the cards.
There are many techniques for pulling the cards for this spread.. You can shuffle and pull the first three cards after your final cut. You can fan the cards out and pick the three that call to you. Or you can divide the deck into three piles and turn over the top card of each pile.
You can designate that the first card or pile is Body, the second is Mind, and the third is Spirit. Or you can hold your left hand over each card or pile to determine which card should be read in which position. The card or pile that has the densest energy is Body. The card or pile that has the most tingly energy is Spirit. The card or pile that has the airiest energy is Mind.
If you use the three-pile method you can also look at the second card of each pile, and the bottom card of each pile, to expand the reading.
Some tarot readers are vocal about eschewing readings that concern health. The Body Mind Spirit spread is very popular, though obviously a spread can touch on health issues. This is one of the reasons that it is important to be clear about your overarching question or intent before performing this reading.
I think there is a difference between dangerously reading about medical issues and helpfully reading about issues of wellbeing.
Divination can be so useful in navigating our journey of self-care and wellbeing. This three-card spread is a great tool for that journey.
The Week in Review
Did you catch our free livestream tarot class last night? Tarot Aces and Pages did a deep dive into eight tarot cards that are often confused with one another. You can watch the replay at any time.
From Around the Web
Here is an article about the life of Rachel Pollack from GamesRadar.com. Although I am sad to think of a world without Rachel’s physical presence in it, I am so gratified to see the number of communities who claim Rachel as one of their own, and who mark her passing with grief and respect.
I love it when local readers are featured in their hometown papers. Here is a recent article from Carmel, Indiana about a professional tarot reader who opened her business in 2021.
MindBodyGreen wants to take you step by step through a basic tarot reading for yourself or a friend. While I do not agree with everything in this article, it does cover a lot. If you are a nervous reader or a curious beginner, you may find this helpful.
Creation and Divination
Here is a creative way to connect mind, body, and spirit with a tarot card.
Find a tarot card which embodies an energy that you feel you need more of in your life, or that illustrates a problem in your life which you are now ready to solve.
Your goal in this exercise is to embrace the energy of the card by becoming the card character.
You can do this simply in meditation by breathing with the card and visualizing yourself within the image.
To get the full benefit of this exercise, you need to embody the tarot character, literally. You must move your body as you imaginee the character would move. If you are Temperance, you might balance on one foot and mix your solution from cup to cup, for example.
If you are the Eight of Swords and are working to become unstuck, you might wiggle your way out of the ties that bind you and remove your blindfold.
If you are the Fool, you might leap into the unknown.
You may choose music appropriate for your card and turn your moving meditation into a full-on dance. Get your tarot friends to dance with you!
The process of bringing your fully physical presence to tarot is profound. This practice will strengthen your understanding of the card. Most importantly, the energy of the card you embody will move within your life to create the change you need.

The Conscious Breath
The conscious breath brings us to our intuition, our healing, and our ability to work with energy.
We did an exercise during my members-only livestream on my YouTube channel last week that I want to share with you.
The topic of the livestream was Tarot and Intuition. The exercise was about tapping into your inner voice.
The trick with intuition is this. Our intuition is always right. Yet, we may not always be able to distinguish the voice of intuition from the voices of fear and desire.
The simple exercise we did uses the power of breath to help us find an inner truth.
Here is the exercise for you to try.
Focus on your breath. Breathe as deeply and fully as you can. As you exhale, release worry and anxiety. As you inhale, let your breath bring you to your center.
Now, ask your inner guidance to tell you something you need to know.
Hear what comes to you and write it down.
Once you have returned your breathing to normal, consider the message you have received. A true intuitive message will always be helpful. It may be firm, but it will also be kind. Your guidance may offer you a course correction, but your guidance will not speak harshly to you.
Conscious breathing is the simplest and most profound way to connect to guidance, healing, manifestation, and to the spirit world around us.
Our autonomic breathing keeps us alive. Our conscious breathing allows us to access whatever truth and energy we need.
The StaarCorner
We are very excited to welcome Madam Adam back for StaarCon 2024. Adam will teach daily classes at StaarCon 2024. Madam Adam will also be an exhibitor at StaarCon 2024, with great merchandise and opportunities for you to have a reading with one of TikTok’s biggest tarot influencers.
Tickets for StaarCon 2024 will be available soon. Mark your calendar for January 19-21 and plan to join us, either online or in West Palm Beach.
The Air Cards of Tarot
When we think about the power of the breath, we also think about the element of Air. In tarot, the suit of Swords is related to the element of Air. It is interesting to note that the most brutal and disturbing images in tarot appear in the suit of Swords.
The element of Air is associated with the powers of the mind. This includes communication, intelligence, integrity, and decision-making. It makes sense that thoughts, words, integrity, and decisions would be pictured with upsetting images, since these are the things in life that can cause us a great deal of grief.
The fact that we use conscious breathing to clear the mind, and to engage the powers of the mind, fits nicely with the metaphysical qualities we associate with the Air element.
In the Major Arcana of tarot there are five cards that are related to the element of Air. These cards are the Fool, the Magician, the Lovers, Justice, and the Star.
It is easy to see how the powers of the mind, of communication, and of integrity fit with these Major Arcana cards. The Star may give us pause for thought, until we realize that the character in the card is not pouring water, but rather is pouring starlight onto the earth.
It is in this card that we can see the highest expression of the healing power of Air, and therefore, the healing power that we harness when we implement the conscious breath.
The Week in Review
It’s a new month, so make sure you find your TarotScopes on my YouTube channel! I pull three cards for each Zodiac sign to see what energies will be available for the month. Check out your sun sign, your rising sign, and your moon sign.
Join us tomorrow, Thursday, April 6, for our monthly Global Tarot Circle. We share readings with each other and enjoy some informal tarot conversation and study. Anyone with an interest in tarot is welcome.
From Around the Web
Theresa Reed has our monthly astrology forecasts and horoscopes.
Erika Robinson keeps a wonderful divination blog. I was impressed with a recent entry where she frankly discusses some of what it is a be a professional diviner in a world full of shortcuts and trickery.
This article from Refinery29 made me smile. It is a great feature for a lot of reasons. This is the story of a young tarot reader who tried working a psychic hotline. I did the same thing, back in the 1990s. Her experiences were like mine. Neither of us lasted very long.
Creation and Divination
A deeper way to work with the simple exercise I have shared in this newsletter is to try automatic writing.
Have paper and a pen, in a comfortable space. Begin with consciously breathing. This time, ask spirit to communicate through you. You may ask for a loved one in spirit, or for your angelic guardian. Hold your pen to the paper and stay focused on your breath. You may want to hold the pen in your non-dominant hand.
Allow the pen in your hand to move, but do not consciously write anything. You may move your hand in circles, allowing the pen to scribble.
As you continue to breathe, let spirit guide your hand. Do not worry about what you are writing, just write.
When you return your breathing to normal, read what you have written. Does this feel like an authentic message from spirit?
Automatic writing, also called spirit writing, is an ancient practice. There is evidence of automatic writing being practiced in China during the Song dynasty (960-1279). In the West, we see automatic writing as part of Enochian magic during the 16th century.
In 1918 Arthur Conan Doyle wrote that automatic writing could either be the writer’s subconscious, or an outside spiritual influence.
The practice of automatic writing can be a creative form of divination.

The Courage to Bloom
Brave flowers push their heads up through the snow. This week we explore this metaphor. How can we have the courage to bloom?
It is spring in the northern hemisphere. Here in Florida, the changes are subtle, but they exist. People who say that Florida does not have seasons have not spent enough time in Florida.
My favorite images of spring, however, come from my many years in the northeast. In early spring, when there is still snow on the ground, colorful flowers push their heads up through the snow to get to the sun. This feels like such an important metaphor for all of us.
Do you want your face to feel the sun? Do you want people to see your beauty? Do you want to act in hope for the future? Then you must have the courage to bloom, even under a blanket of snow.
This reminds me of an inspirational poster many of us had on our bedroom walls as teens in the 1970s. The quote is from Anais Nin.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
My inner teenager still loves this quote. My outer adult values the reminder that every time we choose not to blossom, we are making a clear choice to be less.
What does blooming look like for you, at this time in your life?
What are the risks you must face in order to bloom?
These are great questions for contemplation, discussion, and divination.
I often see the seasons as invitations, or even imperatives, to do what the earth is doing. In spring, as the earth is renewed and replenished and blooming, we must look to our own renewal, and we must bloom.
The StaarCorner
We are so excited to announce that Maria Alvíz Hernando will be traveling from Spain to present an intensive at StaarCon 2024!
In her three-part intensive, Maria will teach you her Nine-Card Tarot Tableau. Wherever you are in your tarot journey, Maria will give you an important tool. This tarot reading technique can help you use the cards to find any information you might need, and to answer any question you might have.
Mark your calendar now to join us January 19-21, either in person or online. Tickets will be available soon!
Questions to Ask the Cards
The messages and spiritual lessons inherent in tarot beseech us to strive, and to reach for the stars. If we work with tarot, we know that our blooming is inevitable, no matter how we might try to hide and avoid the responsibility of that success.
What are the right questions to ask the cards as we work to release fear, and normalize the idea of being and doing our best, rather than hiding our light?
We opened this newsletter with two questions.
What does blooming look like for you, at this time in your life?
What are the risks you must face in order to bloom?
This becomes a great two-card spread to help you explore what it will take to allow yourself to bloom.
There are many other questions you can ask. I think questions specifically about fear are helpful.
What am I really afraid of? Is a fabulous question to ask the cards under numerous circumstances.
I believe that we often identify that we feel fear, but do not often enough discover why we are afraid. Knowing that can make all the difference.
The Week in Review
If you are a member of my YouTube channel, please join us tomorrow, Thursday, March 30, at 7 pm ET for a members-only livestream. Our topic this month is Tarot and Intuition. We will discuss what intuition is, how to develop and trust your intuition, and how to read tarot more intuitively. I will perform some examples of intuitive tarot reading and explain my process.
From Around the Web
The Tarot Blog Hop celebrated the first day of Spring by contemplating ‘Dawn’. Visit the Master List, read the topic challenge and see how five tarotists each explored the concept.
I found an old blogpost on a florist website that discusses some fortune-telling traditions associated with flowers. This includes instructions for divining with a pansy blossom!
The vernal equinox was last week, but it is not too late to perform a tarot spread for the season. I love this new spread from Almanac Supply Co.
Creation and Divination
There are so many ways to get creative with flowers and divination.
Plants and flowers provided many of us with our first divination experiences. Perhaps we were plucking petals off a daisy one at a time to determine whether he does, indeed, love me. Maybe we were blowing on a dandelion to make our wishes come true. I remember bouncing seeds on my hands to determine how many children I would have and twisting an apple stem to predict the first letter of my husband’s name.
Now, I look for flowers to speak to me. If flowers are anywhere in my field of vision, I allow my intuition to come out and find messages from the flowers. It may be their color, their shape, or their placement that helps determines the message.
Most tarot decks have flowers and foliage entwined in the images. It can be a good practice to go through your favorite working deck, find the flowers in the images, and see how the flowers might inform or enhance your interpretation of the cards.
We can include flowers in our divination rituals. Floral incenses, flower essences, and fresh flowers can all enhance the divination experience. Each flower has a magical energy and purpose, so include the flowers that have potential to fulfill your goals.
There are many divination tools that are based on flowers. Because flowers inherently have symbolic meaning, they are easy to incorporate into oracles.
While actual physical flowers many have limitations in terms of divinatory uses, flower images can convey the energy of the flower without its physical fragility.
If you were to create a flower oracle, what flowers would you include, and what would they mean?

When Your Liability Becomes Your Superpower
How can your liability become your superpower? It is all about shifting perspective, the courage to be unique, and the ability to let the universe be your guide.
In a conversation this week someone said a profound thing to me.
I think my liability has become my superpower.
What a fabulous way to view growth and transformation!
If you think about it, you will see that this happens all the time. The shy, introspective person becomes a successful author. The fidgety kid who doodles on the side of their undone homework paper becomes an artist. The overly sensitive person becomes a healer. The recovered addict finds a new career in helping others find recovery.
Often the thing that is a liability for us is the thing that keeps us from fitting in well with others, with classmates, or with co-workers.
I think we need to normalize the idea that we do not always have to fit in as long as we can hold our own. It is nice to be in a place where we feel like we belong. Yet, when that does not happen, there can be power in being unique.
Wherever we are in life, we will always have deficits, problems, and liabilities. What if, rather than regretting and bemoaning these aspects of ourselves, we could instead think about how these aspects could transform us, and help us find new abilities and possibilities?
The StaarCorner
This week we are delighted to begin announcing our Friday Intensive teachers for StaarCon 2024. We will start with Lisa Adams, who will be teaching at StaarCon for the very first time.
Lisa, The Renegade Mystic, offers tarot and astrology readings, and life coaching. She teaches courses online, and facilitates rituals, retreats, and sacred ceremony.
At StaarCon 2024 she will teach a three-part intensive called Astrology for Beginners. In this intensive, Lisa will help you become familiar with terms, symbols, relationships, and concepts of astrology. You’ll come to see the patterns and archetypes so that they make sense to you on an intuitive level.
You will learn signs, planets, the elements, and how to look at a chart.
If you are new to astrology, or ready to brush up on your astrological knowledge, you will not want to miss Lisa Adams at StaarCon 2024.
Three Cards for Transformation
Let’s do a three-card reading to work with our topic for the week.
Let card one discuss a liability you are currently experiencing.
Let card two show you a way that this could become or inspire a superpower within you.
Let card three give you advice on how to facilitate that transformation.
The Week in Review
Did you catch our Equinox Tarot Gathering on YouTube? We are still in equinox season, so watch the replay and try the seasonal tarot exercises.
Here is a spring equinox tarot spread from a blog hop I participated in in 2014! Try the two-card tarot spread I offer there.
If you are a member of my YouTube channel at the Star or Sun level, please join us for a gathering on Zoom tomorrow evening, Thursday, March 23, at 7:30 pm. The Zoom link is available on the community tab on my YouTube channel, or you can email me to request it.

On March 7, Saturn moved into Pisces, where it will remain until May 25, 2025. Here is what Liz Worth has to say about the influences of Saturn in Pisces.
I love it when celebrities vouch for the power of tarot! Here is an article about Jourdan Dunn, super model and tarot enthusiast.
Creation and Divination
In a podcast promoting StaarCon 2021, I had a conversation with Nancy Hendrickson. Something that become clear during that interview has stuck with me all this time.
For Nancy, the world in an oracle.
Of course, Nancy is a practitioner, creator, and teacher of standard divination tools. Yet, she is open to messages from the universe and from the ancestors every day, wherever she goes.
This strikes me as an ongoing creative process of being in conversation with spirit, and being in connection with guidance, every day.
So often we focus on the intentional divination that we do within sacred space. That sort of divination is important, but it does not negate the value of being willing to observe, listen, and interpret what we see around us everywhere we go.
When we are working to transform our lives and shift our perspective, being open to the messages around us can quickly lead us to a new path.
Look for animals, plants, symbols, words, and numbers in your daily life. Use your creative mind to interpret what you see.
Be aware of the possibility for confirmation bias. Practice detaching yourself from your fears and desires. When you do this, you become open to that which can be truly helpful for you.
The messages you receive will be intensely personal. These signs from the universe can help you on your journey every day.
