Abstract
The purpose of this project is to determine whether the use of Tarot has merit in clinical use of mindfulness techniques. Both mindfulness and Tarot alike have been used to help those who struggle with their mental health (Nehra, et al., 2013; Semetsky, 2010). This study aims to combine these two notions by researching the use of Tarot readings as a mindfulness technique.
With Tarot already being used as a healing method to those who are open to its use, it makes sense to bring Tarot into a more empirical light, rather than limit its use to those who are spiritual in nature.
