Breath is the bridge between body and spirit. Controlled breathing enhances focus and intuitive perception. Core Breathwork Styles: • Box Breathing (4-4-4-4)• Inhale, hold, exhale, hold—all for 4 counts. • Stabilizes nervous system before readings. • Circular Breath (No Pauses)• Continuous inhale/exhale through the nose. • Induces trance-like states, ideal for deep intuitive spreads. • Alternate Nostril Breathing• Balances left/right brain hemispheres. • Enhances symbolic interpretation and pattern recognition. Meditation Integration: • Begin each tarot session with 5 minutes of breath work. • Visualize inhaling wisdom and exhaling doubt. • Use breath to “enter” the archetypes of the cards e.g., breathing into the calm of the High Priestess or the fire of the Tower.
