The Tarot of Experience

TAROT FOR OPTIMIZING EXPERIENCE

Since my last post, I have been attending regular tarot study sessions with the London Tarot Study Group.

Having a space to share my interest in the tarot, has set me on a richer and more fulfilling leg of my journey.

Now, I am in a new place. I see how my interest in psychology and therapy, then in computers and then in art and then into coaching and then in tarot as a tool, have all merged into one whole - the world.

My new world allows me to experience art, to create art, to continue with my coaching practice and my interests in dreams and the unconscious as well as my need to express these merged interests with an entrepreneurial drive.

My Tarot of Experience is the new synthesis of my creative interests into one package.

I first created my weblog Gallery of Global Art to share my progression and evolution relating to my art. then I created Creative Connections (this weblog) to share my progression and evolution relating to my coaching. There was a direct link as I was coaching creative living and creative being as well as how to be more creative.

Now, as you follow both these weblogs, you will find an intertwining of the two as they have become one.

NLP and the Tarot

I have prepared a presentation for the Tarot London Meetup. I was so pleased with the potential of this pairing (connection) that I have published my presentation as a knol. Look it up on google knols

An internet search has not found a single article to date that attempts to pair these two. since writing my column, I have thought of so many applications of NLP to the Tarot, from beginners to intermediate and advanced exercises. I look forward to writing and presenting much more on this exciting topic... and also to see if my idea catches on and inspires others to look into this subject and bring some original contributions.

Ask to Receive

I just updated my post on Q&A Coaching Framework. It really is all about the ASK-RECEIVE Law of Attraction. WE are always focusing our attention, thinking thoughts... the focusing is the asking and of course the receiving follows...

There are questions we ask frequently FAQ
There are questions we ask less frequently LFAQ

How often do we ask of ourselves:
  • "What do I like here?"
  • "What do I really appreciate about X?"
  • "Even though this is happening, what is the opportunity here?"

The Q&A Coaching Framework

I just published a new knol on the Q&A Coaching Framework.

There is a wide-spread use of goal management acronyms such as SCORE, GROW, SMART, SMARTEST STAR, OATS and others used in business, psychology, coaching and elsewhere - whereever one needs to set and manage a goal/outcome.

Frameworks are important tools/technology to focus attention on what is important. The more flexible and multidimensional its use and application, the more beneficial the results.

In coaching, the norm is to use open-ended questions while following the guidelines of one of these frameworks to focus the client's attention and planning.

Clients also engage in continual self-talk. This self-talk does include questions the person asks of himself/herself. Becoming aware of these questions is the first step to making them work for you and with you.

My article explains how asking powerful and empowering questions allows one to receive powerful and empowering answers!!!
