The Tree of Life Tarot Healing Technique

At any moment in time, all 78 Tarot Keys reside within your aura. These archetypal energies are superimposed on the Tree of Life—the divine blueprint of your soul. Their placement reveals how your vital life force is currently flowing and manifesting in your body, mind, and spirit.

This powerful Tree of Life Tarot Healing Technique allows you to tune in to these energies and rebalance them through visualisation, connection with the Archangelic rulers of the Elements, and divine guidance from the cards.

Preparing for Your Tarot Healing Ritual

Before you begin, choose a Tarot to work with, ideally a deck dedicated to healing work.

You will also need:

• A candle
• A quiet, comfortable space to sit
• An open heart and willingness to receive healing

Invoke the Guardian Angels of the Four Directions

Begin by invoking the Angels of the Elements:

• Uriel – North (Earth)
• Raphael – East (Air)
• Michael – South (Fire)
• Gabriel – West (Water)

These divine beings help stabilise and protect your energy field during the healing process.

Visualise Yourself as the Tree of Life

Find a comfortable seated position. Take several deep, cleansing breaths.

1. Ground yourself by visualising strong roots growing from your spine deep into the Earth.
2. Connect to Source by imagining branches reaching from your crown into the heavens.
3. Begin circular breathing—drawing energy up from Earth through your crown, where it recharges in Source, and then flows back down into the Earth.

Repeat this breath cycle until you feel centred and relaxed.

Perform the Tree of Life Tarot Healing Spread

Now it’s time to work with the cards. This seven-card Tarot spread gives insight into your current health and energetic alignment.

1. Card for Overall Health

Pull the first card and place it to your left. This card represents your general physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

2. Card for Specific Health Issues

Place the second card in the centre. It highlights a specific health concern or imbalance.

• Look to the astrological correspondence of the card for clues about which part of the body or chakra may be affected.
• For Major Arcana cards, refer to their chakra associations found here.
• Trust your intuition and bodily sensations—your soul knows the truth.

3. Challenge to Healing

Place the third card crossing the second. This shows what obstacle or challenge must be overcome to bring about healing.

• If a King or Queen appears, this may indicate the need to consult a health or medical professional.

Reminder: Always seek medical advice for persistent or worrying symptoms.

Connect with Earth and Heaven

4. Card for Mother Earth

Pull a card and place it below the centre card. This represents what currently nourishes and sustains you.

5. Card for Divine Grace

Draw another card and place it above the centre. This card shows how to recharge your spirit when you’re depleted.

• A “dark” card in either of these positions may indicate a disconnect from nature or Source, suggesting a need to spend more time in quiet reflection and communion with Spirit.

Outcome and Future Health

6. Future Health Outlook

Place this card to the right of the spread. It reveals the trajectory of your health in the coming weeks or months (up to 12 months is best).

• If the card feels unwelcome or troubling, don’t despair…

7. Divine Assistance

Invoke Archangel Raphael, Guardian of the East and Master Healer. Pull the bottom card of the deck to discover what action you can take to reverse or heal the current course.

Together, Cards 3 and 7 form a healing path—one that acknowledges the present challenge and offers a way forward in alignment with your highest good.

An Example from My Own Practice

I recently did a reading with this spread and received a message about a recurring issue with my throat and upper chest—represented by the Prince of Swords (Gemini). The Knight/King of Swords pointed to a need for further medical attention, while the 10 of Cups reminded me to turn to family for emotional support and comfort.

Final Thoughts

This Tarot Healing Technique is both powerful and gentle. It allows you to partner with your own intuition, the wisdom of the Tarot, and the divine support of angelic beings to gain clarity and initiate energetic healing.

Whenever you feel “off,” whether physically or emotionally, return to this practice. Let the cards reveal what your soul is already whispering. You are more connected than you know—and healing is always within reach.
