Up: [[Tarot]] Created: 2023-12-16 Updated: 2026-02-07 Body knowledge is different from intellectual knowledge. To really understand a tarot card, try taking on the physical form of one or more of the characters on the card because anything you *see* the character doing is a representation of their state of mind. Mary Greer recommends assuming the **exact** pose of the character — not just gesture or posture, but even muscle tension. When you've done that, wait for a sensation to arise in your body, then describe it and stay with it. If there's an action suggested by the card, do it as many times as you need. If the figure isn't moving, ask what it wants to do next, and let that emerge for you naturally. Ditto if it wants to speak. Speak in its voice. Is there anything in your life that relates to this action or these words? > [!user] Mary K.
