📖 How to Use This Tarot Book
Before using this ebook, there are several important mindsets you need to understand. This is not just a rulebook for reading, but a guide to ensure you connect to your inner authority through these cards, rather than getting lost in external predictions of good or bad luck.
1. Dual Perspectives: Inner and Outer Cultivation
This book interprets every single card through two distinct layers. These are not separate systems, but two indispensable ways of viewing the same life phenomenon:
Rider-Waite Tarot (Surface): Manifestation of Reality
This layer represents the process of “experiencing the world.” It presents how events unfold in the material realm (Will work go smoothly? Will the relationship bear fruit?). Its focus is: “What are you experiencing?”
Zen Observation (Depth): Guidance for the Soul
This layer provides guidance on a “spiritual level.” It moves beyond traditional fortune-telling, using Zen wisdom to act as a mirror reflecting your current inner state and attachments. Its focus is: “Who are you?”
2. “Good/Bad” Is Not the Answer, Just an “Energy Display”
We provide interpretations for upright and reversed positions in the Rider-Waite section, but please understand: These are not final verdicts, but merely “displays of energy flow.”
- Like waves crashing on the shore, the cards show the ups and downs of a process.
- Drawing a “Reversed” card does not mean “destined” failure. It is a neutral reminder saying, “Hey, the energy is a bit stuck right now,” or “You might need to change your approach.”
- Tarot is an excellent tool to help you “contemplate” at each stage and serves as a “neutral mirror” for observing your own heart.
3. Preparation Before Drawing: Settling Body and Mind
The energy operation of Tarot is sensitive. This is not superstition, but a real experience based on “Embodied Perception.” If you draw cards with excessive expectation, anxiety, or anger, your body is tense and chaotic. This state will directly “trigger” the cards to reflect that chaos, rather than the truth of the event.
🧘 Zeroing Ritual Before Drawing
Please ensure you are prepared and your mind is neutral before drawing cards.
1. Settle the Body
Sit in a quiet place, feel your hips stable on the chair, and feet firmly on the floor.
2. Deep Breath x7
Inhale slowly, then exhale slowly, allowing the breath to flow.
3. Feel Relaxed
Wait until you feel your shoulders, abdomen, and jaw begin to relax before drawing.
Only when you face this “neutral mirror” with a stable, neutral self can you truly “listen and look” at the messages coming from the deepest part of your being.
