Death Tarot Card: Let Go of the Past to Embrace the Future
The Death card of tarot reminds us that so much of what we hold onto, we could let go of. These things are heavy to carry and they are a burden to us on our journey to enlightenment. So much of what we think is important, isn’t really. We need to recognize them for what they are and be willing to and find the courage and strength to let them go. We often believe that these things still serve us today as they once did in the past, or that they will again someday. Many of these things though have long since gone past their expiration dates.
To hold onto them only creates mental and spiritual clutter. It does no good to be a mental packrat, filling your mind with outdated beliefs, thoughts, and attitudes. Let these things go. Meditate them away and be free of the mind clutter they created. Put them behind you and be born anew. Leave them in the past and make room for what is new and what wills serve you on the next stretch of your life’s journey.
Life is about death and rebirth. Death is to let go of the past. Rebirth is to embrace the present. Growth is to step fearlessly and unencumbered into the future.
