If your lacking luster and enthusiasm in your life perhaps you need a little pick me up. Well, what's that got to do with Tarot you may be asking. To answer that question in short, everything! The associations, symbology, influences and energies within the Tarot cards can be utilized to help enhance your life in many different ways. This is especially true if you're seeking to find your true self; but also where meditation is concerned, it is very valuable.

The Tarot can help you regain focus, provide clarity and insight, as well as, motivation towards accomplishing your goals and dreams. Depending on what topic you are seeking to inquire about will determine which cards you pull for this exercise. Below are the options available using this technique:

Ace of Wands represent the pure energy directed towards worthwhile projects. The Magician is used for self focusing attention, applying oneself or utilizing their energy and inner power to create or achieve their goals, as well as, self- realization of full potential. The 8 of Pentacles represent work related issues. High Priestess can assist with studies, concentration and seeking a teacher. The Strength card is a good motivator for starting a weight loss program or any task requiring inner strength. While Temperance is great for helping to break a bad habit.

Choose the appropriate card depending on your need, focus upon the images that portray a story to you of what that particular card represents. Pay special attention to any symbols and numbers depicted on the card. When you are ready, recite the following:

"I summon energy and will for great is the power within me! My life force flows strong and quickens every cell of my body and every atom of my being. I am energized and refreshed! My mind is relaxed and calmed. I see clearly and deeply. My will is all powerful. My body, mind and spirit are working together to help me accomplish what I will. I immerse myself in my work. I accomplish my goals! And I am eager to accomplish more and more! As I will, so it is and so shall it be!"

Count backwards from 200 while feeling the heightened energy around you as you continue gazing at your card. After you are done counting, get up and do something productive, any physical form of movement like exercise, working towards your goals actively, playing sports, clean, etc. This helps to ground the energy of your desire to renew your focus on projects, ambitions, hopes or dreams that you'd like to see manifested into your life.

When doing this exercise, you may want to pay close attention to your dreams and any symbolic designs that you encounter, experiences that are coincidental in nature, or a myriad of other signs along the way indicating the energy and flow of things occurring within your life representing your desired focus manifesting into a physical reality. Journaling might prove to be helpful after doing this technique as you may find a lot of insight along the way through using the Tarot cards to meditate, enhance your own inner power and assist in directing your energies, thoughts and focus more positively within your life.

To Your Divinatory Success!
