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.
