Raising your Vibrations with Tarot

© J. Ahrendt

The latest buzz phrase that keeps popping up on the internet is "raising your vibrations".

I rarely fall for new age pseudo-speak; "cosmic-dimensional" and "self-harmonisation" make me laugh, but this one I love.

It simply relates to the energy and vibes we all radiate, and we can certainly do something about those on a down-to-earth, practical level.

Don't underestimate how your presence can affect other people around you.

Even when you put on a brave face or try to cover up emotional turmoil by keeping up appearances, on a subconscious level negative vibes such as anguish, fears, sorrow, resentment, low self-esteem, suppressed emotions and insecurities can be picked up by others.

This can have a detrimental effect in relationships, at work, when you go for an interview... Learn to be aware of your vibrational level and nurture it to make things work for you.

Raising your vibrations means increasing positive energies you are sending out into the world.

It is very much rooted in the spiritual realm, tuning into your soul and inner wisdom to boost qualities such as confidence, self-worth, optimism, grace, contentment, humility and unconditional love.

How can you raise your vibrations?

Here are just a few suggestions to get you started:

• Think positively
• Encourage others
• Be less judgemental
• Become more tolerant
• Practice forgiveness
• Clear negative emotions
• Show compassion
• Become more aware
• Live in the present
• Practice gratitude
• Let go of attachments
• Take time out to relax
• Meditate
• Take responsibility
• Empower yourself

Sometimes we are unaware of the energies we radiate, and when we do recognise being at a low point, a little nudge with the Tarot (or Oracle cards) can help lift you up again.

Ask the Tarot:

1. What is my current level of vibration?
2. What can I do to raise it?
3. How can I maintain it?

For this sample reading I have used the Sirian Starseed Tarot:

1. Two of Crystals (Two of Pentacles)

I'm getting good vibes from this image: a man is standing by the sea holding two beautiful crystals in his hands. He is looking up at the blue sky. The elements of air water and earth are present in this image; it is a harmonious mix.

This card describes the vibrations of someone, who is in tune with nature, but is also aware of the need to create balance in their lives; perhaps a choice to be made or ways to figure out how to integrate them

Creating this balance isn't always easy, and that can show occasionally in the energies that radiate from this person.

2. Five of Orbs (Five of Swords)

The juggler in the image doesn't realise (or care about) the two orbs that lie broken on the ground, yet he keeps on juggling in a remote spot on a little rock by the sea.

This image suggests the need to pay more attention and care to communication, choosing words wisely and looking at the bigger picture. Perhaps the juggler feels superior in some way, but this attitude only isolates him.

Avoiding battles and opt for cooperation instead will raise vibrations. Focus on creating a win-win situation in a conflict rather than trying to win at all costs.

3. Abundance (The Empress)

Maintain and even further raise your vibrations with the constant flow of love; love for others and for yourself, self-care and nurturing others.

Feeding and harnessing your creative talents and forces, being in tune with the natural flow and embracing the beauty that is present in the here and now.
