You are incarnated with certain humans from existence to life- there to instruct you a lesson in some way, structure or form. And sometimes when we come upon people we’ve regarded before, the lessons and hurts they educate us convey up our karmic past, and parts of our souls that are tough to reach.

This spell for karmic restoration makes use of the tarot playing cards I wrote about a couple of weeks ago to create a transition into surrendering old patterns and wounds. The symbols and snap shots on the tarot playing cards permit us to join with a phase of ourselves we can also not continually listen to- mainly when the cards speak of heavier issues. By working with a few of the cards that scare us, we are able to faucet into past pains and traumas and access them from a new way. Use what scares you, leap into it and heal it. Use my final put up as a information for what card speaks to you- or use some thing different card you experience drawn to.
