Expressive Tarot: Activate Your Archetypes by James Wanless, Ph.D.

 Are you ready for the next breakthrough in the field of tarot? 

Imagine using the Cards so that you actually become their essence at the deepest source levels, at a physical, feeling, and even cellular DNA level. I have been researching and working on this "activation" process for a while, and am now ready to explore it with you.  From my own experience, it creates depth understanding and true embodiment of the cards.

Activation Tarot is a new tarot. While reading the cards gives you conceptual/mental insight into the tarot map of life, and tarot coaching inspires your actions and behavior in the world, activation generates the "original intelligence" of the tarot by the emotion, movement, breath, sound, and nature of the cards – all leading to becoming the tarot at its very source.       

By understanding and embodying the archetypal personalities in our multi-dimensional being, we fully realize our powers and potentials.  We use the archetypes of the timeless and universal tarot oracle of Fool through Fortune Maker. Going beyond conceptual knowledge, we activate our "original intelligence" by the breath, sound, movement and emotion of the archetypes.  Deeper than cultural and conditioned understanding, this process reaches our primal nature at a soul level and ignites the fundamental energies of life. Through this playful and fun way of archetypal expression, we find natural wisdom and way of renewal and rejuvenation.

Tarot activations take us to the original, primary meanings of the cards. Before there were words, there was sound. Before there was yoga, there was motion. Before there was judgment, there were emotive feelings. Before there were teachers, there was nature. Before there was thinking, there was intuition. We explore the tarot by these early ways of knowing and being through an expressive way of mirroring the cards. In so doing, we find a new and ancient intuitive wisdom that includes the multiple intelligences of the emotions, the kinesthetic body, the sonic voice, and of our evolving genetic nature. Applied to the symbolic imagery and universal archetypes of the tarot in its wholistic organization, we have a system for tapping the underused wealth of our multi-intelligent being.  

This expressive wisdom goes beyond our mental interpretations of the cards, which are often patriarchal stories. Activation is deeper than such cultural and conditioned understanding.  It reaches, in fact, our primal nature at a soul level. 

Activation Tarot ignites the fundamental energies of life. As a catalyst, be prepared to experience real life changes that are activated from deep within your primordial genius and wellspring of life force.  We need this energy now more than ever.  This Activation practice reflects the times, sparking the personal power to do what is required of us now – to move and change, renew and create, be swift, decisive and authentic in our uncertainty, complexity, and artificiality.

Activating the tarot in us is simple, yet difficult in a way because of our addiction to the thinking mind. It is absolutely fun and playful a la the original intelligence and innocence of the Fool-Child's "beginner's mind."  It takes learning a few fundamentals and practice, but once unlocked, is the key to a new universe of being.
