Messages from the Archetypes: Using Tarot for Healing
and Spiritual Growth
Toni Gilbert, RN, MA, HN-BC Holistic
Nurse & Transpersonal Counselor
Transpersonal healing arts enhance wellness and prevent illness.
They complement traditional medicine treatment of disease
and injury by adding a holistic psychological and spiritual
component.
Since the mind can affect the systems of the body (such as
immune system), the use of psychology to facilitate a change
in the systems is reasonable. The following are some conditions
that respond to transpersonal healing arts and mind body medicine:
Preparation for and recovery from surgery, life threatening
illness (e.g. cancer), autoimmune diseases, recovery from
injury, phobias, stress and pain management, mild depression,
and life issues.
