"Over six years ago, a deck of tarot cards randomly ended up on my mother's porch. At the time, my children and I had no idea where the cards came from and almost threw them in the trash. But "something" told me to keep them, and I am glad I did.
Through tarot, I have been able to survive the dark night of the soul TWICE. I've been able to navigate through some stormy times these past couple of years, and I probably would not have come out mentally, emotionally and spiritually stronger if I
1: didn't have those cards
2: didn't find a balance between the physical and the spiritual
3. I didn't learn love of self
4. and I didn't unblock my crown chakra, root chakra and sacral chakra.
Thank God my heart chakra remained unblemished despite what I have been through, because compassion, empathy and love along with these cards forcing me to look at myself and how I was contributing to the misery in my life and not taking the easy way out and blaming it all on others and black magic, is the only reason I'm still standing. While some of it was at play, I will never give "them" or the devil that much clout, thinking they can knock an Empress like me down.
So, the best way to heal is to focus on living and not existing. Focus on healing and not placing blame on others for your hardships. Face yourself. And then, Love yourself.
