Conversation With Your Inner Child Tarot Spread
I’ve been wanting to share this spread with you. I hope you find it to be as valuable an experience as I have.
I came up with this after some really deep inner child work in therapy through EMDR. I wanted the spread to be accessible through any emotion or lesson. Whether you feel close to your inner child, or entirely disconnected, you will definitely learn more about yourself with it.
Card 1: A card to anchor you to your inner child. This will likely evoke a memory. Perhaps something you loved when you were younger, a trait you used to have but now conceal, a safe place, or a dream you once had. This energy forms your connection to your inner child for this tarot reading.
Card 2: How their energy shows up today. What is their mood or vibe? Are they showing up as excited, or angry, or lonely? An honest check-in.
Card 3: Something they wish to remind you of. This may be words of encouragement, a hobby or path to pick back up, a dream to believe in, or even more context to the memory evoked with card 1.
Card 4: Something they want, but aren’t getting. Sometimes our inner child goes ignored or we keep waiting for the right time to be able to honor them. Sometimes we don’t realize we’ve become disconnected. Sometimes, what comes up with this card isn’t something you can give them; but you can sit with them the emotions and finally honor what you’ve been holding onto.
Card 5: How you can provide them with what they need. Guidance for taking action.
Card 6: Something they want to tell you. This card can be more open to the reader’s interpretation. Allow this card to speak to you intuitively. Set it on your altar or somewhere you can see it this week to reflect upon further.
