Card of the Day -Dec 8, 2011

Totality - (5 of Wands)
Osho Zen Tarot

The card shows three trapeze artists performing a very advance act. Two of them are hanging from ropes while the third one is being exchanged between the two of them. They exemplify the meaning of 'totality'. They are so engrossed in what they are doing, that they are truly in sync with each other. The rhythm of their form immerses them into a different world where they are not bothered about any outside influences. They are also not worried or bothered that one of them could fall down below. We must be like these trapeze artists in our life. We must be so immersed in what we are doing that we love it and it keeps us alive. We mustn't be idle, because that makes the mind wander. Also, keeping ourselves happy and busy keeps us out of other people's business, as we are content and satisfied within ourselves.

Card of the Day - Dec 7, 2011

Morality (Queen of Clouds/Swords)
Osho Zen Tarot

Morality is made up of the rules and regulations of our society. The lady in the card has become a 'dried up old prune' because of morality. She has become rigid and frozen and wrinkled. The happiness has gone out of her life. If we live our life by rules to the T, even we might end up becoming like her - dull and boring. Make your life exciting and interesting, not just for others but for yourself. Do things which excite you and keep you alive from within. Break the rules at times, and be like a child. Do not let old age catch up with you. Do not see things in only black and white. Learn to live a colourful existence. Do not be judgemental, it limits your ability to see the beauty and godliness within everyone.

Take a Chill Pill!

How do you deal with a situation when you are expected to do something but you physically can't? It seems really bad and you might even feel guilty not performing your duties, specially when you are under tremendous pressure from all sides. What should one do at a time like this? There is no point in feeling guilty and pressurized. If you are obliged to go to a best friend's birthday but you are busy at work, if a person wants an urgent tarot reading but you are tied up, or if you need to study for an exam but you are down with the flu. Sometimes we forget that there is another force among us that governs things. Things usually happen for the best. So if you are unable to make a commitment, just take a chill pill. Do not stress yourself.. because it is NOT your fault. Things are not under your control. You cannot plan your life like a cut-out and expect it to plan out that way. What makes life interesting are its uncertainties and unexpected occurences. You could miss a flight because of traffic or fall sick on your honeymoon. No matter what happens, always count your blessings, they will definitely be much more than your difficulties. Be thankful and appreciate whatever is going right, instead of focusing on what all is wrong in your life. By being grateful, we are inviting greater things into our life. Ignore the mistakes, and focus on the rewards. Sooner or later, everything works out for the best. Many times I am unable to do a tarot reading because of personal reasons like weddings or birthdays or lack of sleep or just not being in 'the mood'. Earlier I used to worry myself crazy, that I wasn't helping someone out. But only if I'm up and above will I be able to give a good and accurate reading which will satisfy me and my client. Do not play the blame game. Stop stressing yourself out due to circumstances which are beyond your control. Go with the flow of life. Let things be unplanned. Do not chalk out your every single move.

The most important mantra in life : Relax and take a Chill Pill

Card of the Day - Dec 6, 2011

Inner Voice (High Priestess)
Osho Zen Tarot

Today's Card of the Day is Inner Voice. The card originally is the High Priestess in other decks and represents your intuition and inner self. Today, listen to your inner voice or your intuition. If you want any answers look deep within. You know what to do and what is the right step to take. Be like the dolphins who are very intuitive mammals and have a sharp sixth sense. Away from all the noise and the tension, there is a voice within you that only you have which is yours. Only you know what is the best thing for you to do.

Going With the Flow (Ace of Cups)
Osho Zen Tarot

Going With the Flow means letting go of your own rules and expectations. Sometimes things happen which are unplanned and unexpected. But in the end, everything happens for a reason and it works out for the best for everyone. Do not question why things happen and why they don't. Even delays are a blessing in disguise. Sometimes things seem to happen very fast. Just go with the flow of life. We need to be aware that there is an important force more powerful than us that makes things happen. We are only a drop in the ocean and a speck of dust in the universe. We must be aware of the bigger picture, only then we will realize the greatness of God's creation.

The Dream (6 of Cups)
Osho Zen Tarot

The card shows a young woman visualizing or dreaming about being a queen and romancing a king. She is visibly poor but has her hopes up in the stars. This is a card of hope. No matter how ridiculous it seems, one must always dream and visualize what one wants. Only by seeing and feeling our future, can we actually make it happen. This is the power of "The Secret" mentioned in the book by Rhonda Bryne. No dream is too silly or too impossible. Our thoughts and our words can create reality.

Card of the Day - Dec 3, 2011

This month, I will be drawing the daily Card of the Day from the Osho Zen Tarot.

Today's card is Courage (Traditionally 'Strength' card #8)

The card shows a flower growing beautifully in spite of being stuck between a rock. Even though it is difficult, it grows and even a smaller flower s growing along with it. If a small flower can bloom and spread its fragrance in the world, then we too can triumph against all odds and flower beautifully in times of trouble. Troubles make us stronger. This card reminds me of the phrase and the book "Between a Rock and a Hard Place". Never give up. Keep on trying. True courage comes from within, it is our inner strength to overcome hurdles. It has nothing to do with building muscles or working out at the gym.
