So I basically devoured this book from cover to cover. After recently finishing a book that introduced me to the Court Cards in greater detail, I felt that I now needed something a little more...intimate? Intentional? Definitely mindful. How blessed I feel to have discovered Mindful Tarot by Lisa Freinkel Tishman! Y'all, this book is literally glorious. #noreally The author has such a beautiful way of putting words to paper. She taught me so much about my tarot cards and how to use them in a more meaningful, intuitive way. Mindful Tarot is a new treasure for sure, one that I will definitely re-read and reference over the years.

The author has an expert understanding of mindfulness, which comes through in her in-depth research and presentation of the material. Once we are given an understanding of mindfulness, the author shares the picture of a tarot practice approached mindfully; changing us from seeking answers from tarot, to posing questions in mindfulness tarot. Once familiar with the explanations of the spreads and the point of view each spread comes from, the author is able to show which spreads are more beneficial to mindfulness. The content is also laid out in a pleasing manner that makes me want to keep reading and learning. I have a much deeper understanding of the history and detailed explanations of each card and each spread. The content is researched so well, I've come away with a new found excitement towards tarot.

In the book the reader does get a link to a few mp3 files that could be helpful. Reader does get some history and information throughout the book. The numbers and suits are grouped together when getting to talk about them. When get to the cards - there is no keywords, it is more situational, history of the card, slight descriptional. So it can be helpful to get a slight deeper connection to the cards.

Long winded and not what I’m looking for in a book about tarot. I wanted more focus on the cards but this just seemed to go on about other things and was very boring to me.

This book offered a beautiful array of knowledge into tarot. I am someone who has only been intrigued by tarot so my prior knowledge was extremely limited. While at no fault of the book, I actually have even more questions, and I believe that's so let based on my beginner status. I feel this book offers very calming and comforting insights, and let's be honest, the world needs more of that.

This is an excellent book on the Tarot and mindfulness. I found it to be extensive and comprehensive in its depth and breadth. There is lots of useful information as well as practical suggestions here for combining one’s mindfulness practice with the Tarot cards

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
