The Tao of Tarot is a useful guide to the inner traditions of Chinese Medicine that influenced important spiritual traditions of the West. In early times, the tarot was a safe method for passing esoteric wisdom and techniques for transcendence to those able to read the encoded messages in a time of ideological repression. Thus, nested within the major arcana cards are important but little-known Asian teachings for inner cultivation in the holistic practice called qigong. Sacred serpent spiral (S3) qigong is an easy-to-learn movement meditation and an empowering tool for improving life and obtaining joyful bliss. The tarot holds the secrets to this personal holy grail and points, in a Taoist sense, the "Way" to health, happiness, abundance, and illumination. The Tao of Tarot is published by O Books Publishing and explains the author's personal growth and inner exploration of the tarot through qigong dreaming.
