The Meditation and Mindfulness Spread
Designed to be used immediately before or after a meditation session, this three-card spread creates a bridge between your tarot practice and your mindfulness practice. The first card offers a focus or intention for your meditation. The second card reveals what the mind most needs to release in the sitting. The third card offers a quality or energy to cultivate and carry into the day after the practice is complete. Used consistently, this spread deepens both practices simultaneously and helps meditators understand the psychological themes their practice is surfacing.
Step 1: Instructions
Use before a meditation session when you want more direction than simply watching the breath, or after a meditation session when strong themes or emotions surfaced and you want to understand them. Particularly valuable for people who are new to meditation and find it difficult to drop into the practice without a framework or focal point.
Step 2: Card Positions
- #1A focus or intention for this meditation
- #2What the mind most needs to release in the sitting
- #3A quality or energy to carry into the day
Step 3: Interpretation Advice
Keep this spread simple and fast — three cards, five minutes maximum. The goal is to drop into meditation, not to get absorbed in interpretation. Write down the three cards before you sit, and return to them afterward. A card that seemed unclear before sitting often becomes crystalline after twenty minutes of stillness.
