Theresa Quoteables
  • “When there’s an accident on the side of the road, what do we do? We want to stop and look. When there’s something ugly happening, it’s human nature to want to look.” – Theresa Reed
  • “The world is never a perfect paradise and we have to recognize that so we can show up in a grounded way to ensure things will be healthy for us.” – Theresa Reed
  • “I find because I’m super sensitive that I have to find the balance between being in the world and of the world.” – Theresa Reed
  • “If I’m going to digest news or information, it has to be in a way that doesn’t make me full of anxiety… so I control that by reading the news instead of watching it or listening to it.” – Theresa Reed
  • “In tarot, there’s no such thing as a “bad” card or a “good” card. Even when the so called ‘negative’ cards show up, they carry wisdom, guidance, and it’s trying to get your attention to do your work.” – Theresa Reed
  • “We don’t grow when everything is hunky-dory 24/7.” – Theresa Reed
  • “What empaths need to realize is, you’re not here to fix people. They need to fix themselves.” – Theresa Reed
  • “You’re not a passive bystander in your life. Everything that is showing up is a result of your reactions or the actions that you’re taking.” – Theresa Reed
  • “Tarot takes the info already inside of yourself, puts it out in front of your nose to validate things.” – Theresa Reed
  • “I’m a firm believer of moving with the cosmos not against it.” – Theresa Reed
  • “You don’t need to be shamed for being ignorant.” – Theresa Reed
  • “If you have a voice and privilege, use it to help the marginalized and lift everyone up.” – Theresa Reed
  • “Progress is slow, painful and is always met with resistance.” – Theresa Reed
  • “It’s important for us wise elders to lend our experience, but to open up to younger people.” – Theresa Reed
  • “It begins with you.” – Theresa Reed

Body, Mind, Spirit Tarot Spread

by Theresa Reed

Are you feeling off, cloudy, or need a check in? The Body, Mind, Spirit Spread is Theresa’s favorite tarot spread she uses for checking in with herself, and it’s most effective when life keeps throwing wrenches at you.

The key to this spread is using it as a guide for self-care. If a card known for representing challenge shows up in the Body position, then you can see it as a sign that your daily health/physical habits may need a refresh. If Three of Swords shows up for the Mind position, for example, you’d want to check what mental demands or stress may be contributing to your challenges.

Many times our self-care gets pushed aside for convenience and productivity’s sake. This spread is an excellent tool to shine a light on where you could use some ‘you’ time and care so that you may return to a state of flow and grace.

Self-Care Rules as a Healer or Coach

by Theresa Reed
  • Hold strict and clear boundaries with clients
  • Make time for yourself
  • Consistent self-care schedule (massages, naps, things that make you feel good, etc.)
  • Keep personal life drama free (don’t stuff/hide it, deal with it in the moment)
  • Eat healthy, limit substances like alcohol and drugs
  • Move your body to move energy into and out of you
  • Only maintain relationships with healthy people
Get confident and ask for what you need
