15 Ways To Clear Your Tarot Deck
When people clear or cleanse their Tarot cards they are asking for assistance from positive energy to come to the aid of the reading and cards while banishing any bad energy or blockage at the same time. This ensures that the reading will be clear, clean, and as accurate as possible.
The good or positive energy that the reader imparts on her Tarot deck is any good energy that the reader believes in. Here are some of the ways people clear their cards:
Anxiety in Terms of Grief
One of the most important emotions present on the spectrum of grief is that of anxiety. Anxiety can be understood as a strong sensation of worry or unease, typically in anticipation of a future event whose result and effects are uncertain. In the context of grief, anxiety can be understood to be of two types. There is the anxiety present in anticipatory grief, the grief that occurs before the loss of a loved one, a friendship, a job, or a romantic relationship; and the anxiety present in post-loss grief.
Building our New Normal
When my mom passed away, we needed to create our new normal.
Why a new normal? Why not a new life or adapt to our old one? Because when someone dies, nothing will be the same. So that is the NEW part. And the "normal" means that when we need to continue with our lives, the day-to-day needs to continue. So we needed to build a new normal. This new normal story has many parts, but today I want to share a story about how my dad needed to create a new normal and what that meant for us, his daughters.
Grief From Stillbirths
The death of a child is one of the most difficult types of loss you can experience. It is estimated that in the United States, 26,000 families a year experience a stillbirth. Definitions of stillbirth vary, but it is usually considered to be the loss of a baby after 20 weeks.
Mindfulness and Grief
There are a number of ways that mindfulness and meditation can help with grief. Impermanence is a core component of Buddhism, and practicing mindfulness can make us less uncomfortable with the idea that nothing can stay the same forever. This includes our grief, which is impermanent and ever-changing.
Resilience in Grief
The Emotion Code explains it in a better way. Your emotions are trapped in your body. They are like energy pockets that are stuck in a variety of organs in your body. They tell your body that something's not okay. Depending upon what triggered them and for how long they have been trapped, they can cause physical pain, emotional unavailability, and even life-threatening diseases.
....And who cares for the caregivers?
Who cares for the caregivers? We ask this question because, from our personal history and our professional insight, we have noticed that caregivers are usually forgotten. This often happens a couple of weeks after the person who they are caring for has been diagnosed. When we mention "forgotten," we mean their needs and desires are ignored.

What is the Stress Cycle, and how to smash it?
Burnout has become a prevalent word during our current pandemic, but most of us have no idea how to deal with it. So what is the stress cycle? The stress cycle is the cycle your body goes to alert you of imminent danger.
What Is The Death Positive Movement?
Western society is clearly preoccupied with death. It appears in TV, movies, and music. And yet, most of us are deeply uncomfortable discussing it in real terms. Instead of allowing the universal experience of death to bring us closer, the death stigma in our culture alienates us from each other. This distance from death is actually new - not so long ago, people died in the family home, and their bodies were attended to in the salon. This new discomfort with death deeply impacts our ability to enjoy life.
