    About this ebook

    Do you fear the tarot, love the tarot, or are you sat on the fence? Have you been a victim of physical and or emotional abuse as a child and are ready to explore the benefits of using the tarot to heal past traumas? Would you like to finally release the destructive conditioning forced on you as a child?

    Healing Childhood Trauma with the Tarot—Live a Limitless Life will show you how gentle the tarot can be. It will illustrate to you how you can harness the healing properties of the tarot to restore the balance in your mind, body, and soul. Let the tarot assist you in crushing the self-limiting beliefs that have kept you trapped, preventing you from moving forward in the direction you desire. The tarot is not what some would have you believe—a fortune telling tool used by evil and dark energies. It is quite the opposite. The tarot is a loving divination tool that can and will shine a light on where you most need help to set yourself free from the restrictions you believe are yours. Are you ready to empower yourself and live a limitless life?

    Author

    Naomi Sturrock

    Naomi spent her whole life self-sabotaging, never believing she was good enough and never knowing what she wanted or should be doing. Then she rediscovered the Tarot. Several years ago, as she approached the tender age of forty, Naomi embarked on her journey of self-discovery using the tarot as her guiding light. She soon came to understand that what had happened to her as a child and as a young adult, was not normal, nor was it acceptable. She decided that she wanted a better life but didn’t believe she was deserving of one. Nor did she feel capable of achieving the life she dreamed of. After many years of self-study and crafting her life-changing mindset tools, Naomi recognised the repetitive patterns of self-sabotage and procrastination that would continue to rise up within her no matter what positive statements she told herself. So, she set out to harness the healing energy of the tarot to release herself from the self-limiting thoughts, behaviours and patterns that kept her pushing the self-destruct button ensuring she would always remain a prisoner within. Naomi valued the statement she often heard as a child, “Knowledge is power”, and she read and read to improve her life so she may one day find happiness. It was only in discovering that knowledge is power but only if you implement action, that she came to realise that this is where desirable changes took place. She set out rewriting her life story, expanding her comfort zone, ditching the victim mentality and setting boundaries so she could shape who she wanted to be and find the happiness she so desperately longed for.

      Just the Beginning

      Writing this book has been an amazing process but not an easy one. I dedicate this book to the person who has always believed in me, even when I didn’t. This book is for my husband, my soul mate, my life, and my love. I cannot thank you enough, Glynn, for the love you have consistently shown me, even when I felt I didn’t deserve it.

      You have been my guiding light, always illuminating the way so I can come back to me, and for this, I will always be eternally grateful. I live you, I breathe you, and my gratitude for your unwavering faith in me, in us, will always fill my heart and keep it overflowing. I love you and thank you for showing me how to be my own hero.

      Acknowledgements

      I feel so lucky to have such a fantastic support network around me. To my beautiful children, I love you so much. You have changed my life and have helped shape me in every way possible. Thank you for forgiving me and allowing me to continue to be a part of your lives. Each and every one of you have taught me so much about myself and who I am as a mother. Thank you for believing in me, thank you for the witty conversations that keep me grounded, and thank you for sticking with me (even though you consider me weird).

      My beautiful friend and mentor, Jane, you always shine the torch of possibility on me. Thank you for guiding me to always nourish my soul; you have taught me that I am powerful, I am empowered, and I am the biggest influence on my life. I love you.

      To my dearest childhood friend, Heather, you have never turned me away, even when I completely lost my way. You always know what to say, and your honesty is always appreciated. I love you.

      —Ralph Waldo Emmerson

      Hi and thank you. Thank you for having the inquisitiveness and courage to pick up this book. I want to congratulate you for wanting change. It isn’t easy, and I know first-hand that it can be a lonely place. The one thing I have learned from this process is that I am not actually alone, even though I may on occasion feel lonely. I am not the only person in this world to have suffered abuse as a child or as an adult. And sadly, I won’t be the last. I am not the only person who has felt like a failure, who wanted to give up, who felt guilty for wanting to give up, and I am certainly not the only person who couldn’t see the forest for the trees.

      I encourage you to reach out to others in a similar situation to you, if you can. If you are on social media, there are many groups, closed and public, that can offer support. I have been a member of a few groups that offer me the support in a few different areas, and I cannot sing their praises enough. There are no hidden agendas, just beautiful souls wanting to support each other in becoming the best versions of themselves they can be on a daily basis. If you cannot find a support group or you are not online, you could create your own support group.

      I was told some years ago that I, along with past and future women of my family, carry an ancestral link carried on my mother’s side. Some may call it a curse, and indeed, that is exactly what I used to think: I was cursed. It didn’t matter what I did; I would never amount to anything. I was always going to be a loser, a doormat, a punching bag, and a slag. I now see that I was given an opportunity. I don’t know why I bore the responsibility of healing the link. I just know that it couldn’t carry on. I didn’t want it being passed down to my daughter and granddaughters and continuing further into the future of their children and grandchildren.

      The burden and shame I bore over the majority of my life has been damning. I have self-sabotaged my well-being repeatedly over the years, I was the biggest procrastinator I knew. I was so full of s—t. I believed my own crap. I was a victim. Pure and simple. I allowed myself to stay in the victim mentality for such a long time, it was no wonder the ancestral link dominated me and my life. The low self-worth was there, and there was no escape for me, or so it seemed.

      I am blessed with a thirst for knowledge; my dear dad used to tell me that knowledge is power, and whilst that is true, I also think knowledge is only power if you take action with the knowledge you have gained. If you stay inactive, you remain stuck. I had a bank of knowledge that I sat on for many years, always thinking that only other people could change their lives for the better. It just didn’t happen to people like me, the tainted.

      I have a strong connection with my soul, my intuition, but it hasn’t always been that way. I made a decision that I wanted more out of life for myself and for those I love. I wanted to be a good role model for my sons and daughter, so they could see what a strong, loving, caring, compassionate, and free-thinking woman looks like. And yes, they all think I’m weird, but do you know what? It thrills me to be called weird; it means I’ve broken the mould. I invite you to break your mould.

      It always seems impossible until it is done.

      —Nelson Mandela

      I now feel that my authentic self is in control. I am not just getting by in life anymore. I’m now in love with life and feel free; I have a happiness that reaches to the depths of my soul. Picking up this book indicates you have a deep desire within you to break free, or maybe you’re just curious. Either way, your intuition has led you here for a reason. Take a moment and ask yourself what you want out of life; what are your deepest desires? What needs to change for you to be the best version of you today?

      Before we begin this journey, I want to tell you what my dear childhood friend once said to me when Glynn and I were having problems. She said, You have all the right ingredients to bake the perfect cake; you’re just mixing it wrong. I was mortified when she said that to me. I felt like a failure yet again. I felt like a knife had penetrated my back. I felt sad, lonely, and even angry. Why would my so-called best friend say that to me? That wasn’t supportive, and it certainly didn’t feed the need I had to be felt sorry for.

      Heather was trying to help, and it took me a long time to process her statement; it lingered in the back of my mind for several years, but she was right. I do think we all have the right ingredients; some of us may have additional ingredients that are no longer required, and so we need to ditch them. I know I have ditched so much out-of-date stuff, and it feels liberating. I feel like I am my own person now, baking my perfect cake for me, and for the most part, I can express myself honestly and freely. Notice I said for the most part? Mostly because there are times I am reminded that I am a spiritual being having a human experience, as Dr Wayne Dyer put it. I need to continue peeling back the layers and going deeper to reveal what lessons I am to continue to learn. I do think that my whole life is one continuous journey of lessons. Now instead of asking, Why is this happening to me? I switch it to, How can I make this better?

      I have released the victim mentality that kept me trapped for so long. I was never going to be able to be the best version of me with the victim attitude. I understand why I embraced the role of being a victim: It was easier. It was an easier life to apportion blame on to others, particularly my parents and siblings but do you know what? That thinking process kept me miserable, constantly thinking I was never good enough and was completely powerless to not only initiate change but maintain it. I know differently now. I know how empowered I am, how free I feel, and how good it feels to put myself first, without fear of repercussions. I am prepared with all the right tools to handle other people’s opinions, questions, and values. I am happy, willing, and able to be my own protector, my own guardian, my own best friend.

      My soul now embraces the role of non-victim and rejoices that I had the courage to set myself free; in doing so, I hope to help others to release themselves from the prison they are trapped within, inside their own minds. We are what we think we are; we are not necessarily who we think we are. We have the potential to be so much more than what we accept ourselves to be. Our thoughts develop into things; if we think we are lazy, we become lazy. If we think we can’t do something, we won’t even give it a go. If ever you catch yourself saying, I can’t, I ask you to do one thing: add an r and a y, and it will spell I can try.

      It’s not always easy, but the biggest lesson I’ve learned on my journey to date is this: that which scares me the most, that which offers me the most resistance,
