What is karma?
Karma is the sum of a person's actions in this and previous lives, seen as shaping their future. Every action has consequences, sometimes far bigger than we expect, and the tarot's Major Arcana can show which of karma's life lessons we are working on now.
Why can't a healer heal everyone?
When healing people, healers have to be aware that not everyone can be healed. A person may have decided, before coming into this life, that the illness they are suffering from is a form of karma. Then the only thing a healer can do is make their transition painless and calm. Altering someone's karma can have huge ramifications.
How can one small action change a destiny?
My angels once showed me how a single action can have huge repercussions.
One day after I dropped the children at school, I was driving along and saw two magpies fighting. I was going to stop and shoo them away, fearing one of them would get its eye pecked out. I was advised to leave well enough alone.
I hesitated, and then they told me that, as things stood, the worst that would happen was that one magpie might be slightly injured. But if I interfered, they would fly away, and the one that was losing would have time to recover, come back and kill the other. By interfering, I would change the destiny of those birds and the circumstances of their futures.
What does this mean for healing?
I asked how this would apply to someone with a life-threatening illness, if a healer cured their disease even though their fate was to die from it. The reply was that you might think you had done something wonderful by healing them, but now they would have to be reborn and go through the whole process again, because they chose to come into this life to deal with this issue. Everyone around them would also have to complete that stage of life again.
They did say that sometimes, when people get sick, a choice comes into whether they lose their physical life or not. For example, if the lesson was to help another person through the grieving process, and that person has been able to cope with it, then the soul who chose to become sick may have the choice to be healed. So you can see this is a very important part of human evolution.
A healer can normally tell whether a person is sick because of karma or because of their own doing. When you try to heal karma, the healer's hand feels the person's energy push it away, much like two magnets with the same poles placed together.
How do you know which karmic lessons you have to go through?
People ask me how we know which karmic life lessons we have to go through. The answer lies in the tarot cards.
In tarot, the Major Arcana cards show our life lessons. There are 22 of them, starting with the Fool. We start out as the Fool, entering this evolution unaware of what we are doing, and we have free will. Each Major Arcana card represents a life lesson we must complete, in both male and female energy. This is no easy task, and it can take thousands of lifetimes to get it right. This is why the angels are here, trying to guide us toward the best course of action.
The Minor Arcana cards help us understand how we are doing with our current lesson.
How can you use the tarot to work with your karma?
- Shuffle the Major Arcana cards and pull out three. These show the task you are working on now.
- Shuffle the Minor Arcana cards and place one next to each Major Arcana card. If you pulled a Swords card, for example, it would show you are having conflict dealing with this situation.
- Call on the Lords of Flame and Light and ask them to help you with this task, with the guidance of the right angels.
By doing this, you may notice within the week that your life starts fitting together better.
Remember, you have to ask to receive.
