Description
Book SynopsisChristina Bjergo reveals the tarot as keeper of the secret Taoist practice of Qigong and the 'Way' to health, happiness, and spiritual truth. Woven within the major arcana cards are little known wisdom teachings for inner cultivation through the body-minded practice of Qigong. Spiral Qigong is an easy-to-learn and empowering meditative exercise for enhancing vitality and harmonious living for people of all spiritual faiths. For the unsuspecting author, the practice of Qigong activated sacred dreaming and a kundalini/alchemical transformation. Tarot dream images appeared leading her through stages of psychological growth and initiation. The tarot ultimately showed Dreaming as a potent tool for transcending duality and a practice for personal and global rebirth. "The Tao of Tarot" shares the author's mythical journey through different spiritual traditions; at the same time, it creates a practical guidebook to teach others how to explore dream symbols to unity consciousness and enhance intuitive connection to the divine.
Trade ReviewThis book takes Tarot to the next level. Christina Bjergo reveals that hidden within the Major Arcana is the entire path of alchemy, complete with symbols and powerful spiritual practices. Ms. Bjergo is one of the few authors who have completely dedicated herself to the alchemical path of the Serpent Masters. I fully endorse her work. (Mark Amaru Pinkham, author of The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom). Throughout this bold and ambitious book, Christina Bjergo maintains a lightness of touch that helps you through the wealth of information and insight. In each chapter, the author makes connections that show you the Tarot Trumps in a new light. If you're a Tarot reader interested in Chinese thought, this book makes fascinating reading. (Mick Frankel, Tarot Association of the British Isles).
