Chakras, Elements, & Tarot: A Masterpost
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💟
Hello Dear Ones,
With respect to the individual chakra posts I reblogged from @mychakraisout yesterday, I wanted to somewhat consolidate that information to further show the link between the Tarot suits, the elements, and the chakra system.
I also wish to apply my knowledge of the Tarot; plus what I’ve learned in my Reiki certification thus far in this post. There may be discrepancies or differences between what myself and others post. That’s the beauty of learning and a variety of schools of thought. The object here is to foster connection through diversity and mindfulness. Our readerships can take from and adapt what they glean from our posts as they wish to.

The Tarot, as we know, is a powerful divinatory tool and a source for inner insight and wisdom that can manifest in our physical bodies and the world.
Reiki’s healing and wisdom is for both the physical and metaphysical bodies; harmoniously integrating the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Combined, the chakra system, and the Tarot as well, are not only connected to the tangible elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air, but to Light, Source, and higher planes of consciousness.
~~~~
Let’s break this down a little further. Traditionally, the four Tarot suits correspond to the following:
Swords: Air, mental functions, thoughts, communication (all forms), rationalization, speech.
Cups: Water, emotions and emotional responses, connection, relationships, healing, spirituality.
Wands: Fire, our drive, ambition, passions, and creativity.
Pentacles: Earth, the things which stabilize us, help us to feel secure and grounded.
The Major Arcana, however, tends to deal more in the abstract and can unify the concepts of the four Minor Arcana suits.
~~~~
Bearing this in mind, let’s apply these concepts to the chakra system; first by physical location on the body:
❤️ Root: Base of the spine/lowest part of the hips.
🧡 Sacral: Ovaries/testes.
💛 Solar Plexus: Stomach, just above the navel.
💚 Heart: Center of the chest.
💙 Throat: Base of the neck.
💜 Third Eye: Between the eyebrows.*
💟 Crown: Top of the head. *
*Though the chakras have physical access and healing points on the body, once you get past the throat chakra, you are working with your metaphysical/astral body. It extends 3-6 feet from your corporeal body, and the subsequent chakras connect to divine guidance, knowingness, intuition, compassion, and Source itself, from which Reiki energy flows. These chakras also reflect Light; the combination of all elements (Earth, Fire, Water, and Air) and pertain to the more nebulous Major Arcana in the Tarot, as opposed to the specifics of the Minor.
~~~~
Traditionally, these are the parts of the body, psychological and metaphysical areas the chakras assist in healing; stemming from those physical placement points:
❤️ Root ❤️
Physical: Skeletal system, teeth, large intestine, kidneys, blood, adrenal cortex.
Psychological: Survival, self preservation.
🧡 Sacral 🧡
Physical: Ovaries, testicles, womb, genitals, bladder, spleen.
Psychological: Movement, connection.
💛 Solar Plexus 💛
Physical: Pancreas, digestive system, liver, gall bladder.
Psychological: The will, relationships.
💚 Heart 💚
Physical: Thymus, heart, lungs, circulatory system, arms, hands.
Psychological: Love of self/others.
💙 Throat 💙
Physical: Thyroid, parathyroid, throat, ears, mouth, shoulders, neck.
Psychological: Communication.
💜 Third Eye 💜
Physical: Pituitary gland, eyes, brow, base of the skull.
Psychological: Intuition, Imagination.
💟 Crown 💟
Physical: Hair, the head, central nervous system.
Psychological: Compassion for self/others.
Metaphysical: Spiritual love, knowingness, divine connection.
~~~~
Taking this knowledge of the chakras a step further, they are interconnected with the elements, suits of the Tarot, and the Tarot itself, as follows:
❤️ Root ❤️
Element: Earth (Stability, grounding, security.)
Tarot Suit: Pentacles.
🧡 Sacral 🧡
Element: Fire (Passion, action, drive, ambition, creativity.)
Tarot Suit: Wands.
💛 Solar Plexus 💛
Element: Water (Emotions, emotional responses, healing, connection, spirituality, relationships.)
Tarot Suit: Cups.
💚 Heart 💚
Element: Water (Emotions, emotional responses, healing, connection, spirituality, relationships.)
Tarot Suit: Cups.
💙 Throat 💙
Element: Air (All forms of communication, thoughts, rationalization, speech, mental processes.)
Tarot Suit: Swords.
💜 Third Eye 💜
Element: Light (The combination of all elements; Earth, Fire, Water, Air).
Tarot Suit: The Third Eye is not tied to a specific suit, but rather the Major Arcana. Remember that this chakra as well as the Crown deal with the metaphysical/astral body, thus a broader concept to explore.
💟 Crown 💟
Element: Light (The combination of all elements; Earth, Fire, Water, Air). The Crown is also a link to divine consciousness, Source, and all that is.
Tarot Suit: The Crown is not tied to a specific suit, but rather the Major Arcana. Remember that this chakra as well as the Third Eye deal with the metaphysical/astral body, and in this case the divine. Thus, a broader concept to explore.
~~~~
In summary, the physical body, emotional body, and metaphysical body are all intricately interconnected. They do not, and cannot, function independently of each other. As such, the Tarot can be utilized to find out which areas of these bodies need attention and healing. Once these areas are healed and balanced, we are a more complete whole. ✨

When you first started working with deities were you scared? How did you know if they wanted to work with you? How do you communicate?
(sorry for all the questions I’m so interested in this!)💕
Don't worry about the questions hahah I don't mind :)
I was definitely scared and nervous when I first started working with them! I wasn't sure if they were even real and when I did get more secure in that, I didn't want to offend them or say something wrong. It can be really nerve-wracking but you get used to it!
As for how I know they wanted to work with me, I know this may sound a little weird if you're not spiritual or not used to practicing spirituality or even religion, but I just "knew". Kind of like how I know for a fact that 2+2=4, I also know when they're around or if I'm talking to them. I think it really helps to be confident in your own skills and knowledge here!
Communication with deities is different for everyone! For me, I literally just talk to them in my head. I'm not super comfortable speaking out loud to them (and they know that), so I speak to them in my head and I get a general feeling for what their response is. A simple example would be me saying something like "hello!", and then getting a feeling of them greeting me in return! There are tons of ways to communicate with them though, including prayers, tarot cards, pendulums, offerings, written words, spoken words, music, etc. While there are definitely classic ways to communicate, in modern times, there really is no right or wrong way as long as you're respectful!
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions!
Magic exists. But don’t fool yourself into seeing it where it isn’t.
When your dream is about something you saw, heard or thought about in the last few days, it means nothing.
If you watched a documentary about tigers and you dream of a tiger, that is not a divine message. It is just your mind processing information.
But if you dream of being in a medieval banquet, when you have not watched an Arthurian film in months and have not thought about buffets in days, then you might be wandering in a past life.
When you are sleepy or lost in thought, and you find yourself seeing, hearing or smelling things that are not there, they mean nothing.
If you are daydreaming about going to Disneyland and you suddenly hear the sound of a carousel, you simply have an active imagination.
But if you are very focused on finishing a paper, and the words on your screen suddenly warp into the shape of a rollercoaster, then you are having a waking vision.
When the images you see are merely derived from the colors or marks on your scrying instrument, then you are not scrying.
If your crystal ball has a scratch in the shape of a musical note, and you see a piano, your mind is simply thinking creatively.
But if your scrying mirror is entirely spotless, and yet from its center, you see a detailed portrait emerging, only then are you really scrying.
When what you see on your altar are slight movements that take only a moment, your god did not create them.
If you are looking at Venus’ portrait while praying to her, and you see her smile for a second, you are only imagining it.
But if you see her running her hand through her hair while you hear the soft sound of her fingers against it, then she is hearing your prayer and enjoying your presence.
ʜᴏᴡ ᴛᴏ ɪɴᴅᴜᴄᴇ ᴘᴜʀᴇ ᴄᴏɴꜱᴄɪᴏᴜꜱɴᴇꜱꜱ ᴇᴀꜱɪʟʏ ᴛᴏɴɪɢʜᴛ (𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬)
Does inducing pure consciousness (or the void) seem complicated? I promise it is EASIER than you think! You just need to understand how your body and mind are working at that moment.
BODY SLEEPS, MIND STAYS AWAKE
The key to everything is this: when the body falls asleep and the mind stays awake, you are in pure consciousness.
Why? Because without an active body, the ego loses power. No limiting thoughts, no fixed identity, just YOU as pure awareness.
HOW TO DO THIS
Do this after you wake up at night (your body is already super relaxed and ready to go back to sleep!)
Lie down and relax, without moving.
Let your body fall asleep, but keep your mind awake. Count in your head or focus on an imaginary point in space. This prevents your mind from following your body into sleep!
If you feel tingling, heaviness, or a feeling of “disconnection” from your body, you’re there!
At this point, simply affirm, “I am pure consciousness” or “I am in the void.”
Boom. Your body is asleep, you are pure consciousness.
You will find yourself in an immense calm and darkness, with no body perception. No weight, no limiting thoughts. Just YOU.
You are in the void. You are consciousness itself.
And from here you can manifest anything instantly!
COMMON MISTAKES AND HOW TO AVOID THEM
✗ Waiting too carefully for the body to fall asleep (the paradox is that the more you wait, the less it happens! It's a bit like when you wait for a message on your cell phone, the more you check the less it arrives, right? haha) ✓ Ignore the body and focus on something neutral (like counting, singing, etc.).
✗Thinking that it's difficult or that it takes a long time. ✓IT'S EASY! The body falls asleep every night, just don't interfere!
✗Being afraid of sleep paralysis. ✓It's not a problem, IT'S YOUR ALLY! If you feel "blocked", it means you did everything right!
♡You don't have to "do" something, you just have to let it happen.The body sleeps every night. You just have to stay present with your mind awake.
That's why it's FAST and EASY.♡

I like the idea of soulmates but it fails to make sense to me. Yeah in first place to be born and be able to think and be aware of everthing is without official purpose too. Like to this day nobody can tell you really what the purpose of life is. So why should soulmates make ense or have a clear answer to them. But then also why are we being reincarnated, if you are into astrology you will come across the theme of things you learned in past lives and things you have to learn now but why? (1/~)
When will you be stopped reincarnated? Or does it stop only when a certain karmic debt is paid while you everytime get a new side quest. What role can the soulmate play when we are not always promised to meet them in every lifetime? If we can go a whole life without meeting them are they even important? (2/2)
that’s a run through several schools of thought:
the purpose of life is experiencing. (neale donald walsch)
humans reincarnate because our driving force of remaining desire cannot exist in a vacuum after death. hence you escape samsara = the cyle through liberation from the suffering that comes with attachments. meaning, it leaves no unfinished business that would require another life. (theravada buddism)
among others, you can attain said enlightenment aka moksha through three ways. love of god = self, knowledge, or compassionate deeds — bhaktiyoga, jnanayoga, karmayoga. (hinduism)
you may be in your last physical life if your sun or north node is in the 12th house, meaning you went through the entire circle. if your 7th house is empty, your shadow side is resolved, so it won’t attract. (astrology)
karmic debt is not important, it can’t influence you if you choose to. only thought and the now matters. meditation is the key. (zen buddhism)
the soulmate plays their own role in the first place, is important by themselves. they’re not born to be yours. in fact, they do what you do simply as a different reflection. they’re merely a choice of many available to you, not a fate since free will is always granted to us. they could be important but you decide against it by your belief or vibration. ironically, once you see them outside of being solely in relation to you and focus on you, that’s how they arrive. (new age)
being your own soulmate matters first, otherwise a soulmate won’t materialize and exist on the outside anyway. the establishing of harmony and order inside of oneself is all that’s needed to steer things. what other people do will follow naturally and in balance to that. (taoism)
