The Tarot Is Social - Getting Released from Solitary Confinement
"Texas prisoners continue hunger strike in protest against solitary confinement" - The Guardian, January 19, 2023
In much of the correctional system, solitary confinement is standard punishment. And a brutal one. Research on mirror neurons proved out how social human beings are. We affect each other on the cellular level. When we are isolated from each other, as an solitary confinement, we can lose parts of ourselves.
The irony is that more and more - including all generations - inflict that punishment on themselves. I hear it all the time in Tarot readings. Clients bellow in pain about being lonely, low on hope, and without even one close friend to confide in. If you are on the depressive side, you could have slipped into a dark state of being.
Yet, the solution is as easy as simply getting out there.
During a reading I suggest the obvious: Instead of having groceries delivered, go to the supermarket. Talk to people about the produce, offer to help the aging and disabled with their shopping, and chat during check out instead of scrolling on the phone.
For those who have become downright phobic of interaction there are "starter" exercises. You can join a free 12-step program such as Emotions Anonymous. Volunteer to walk dogs at the shelter. Linger after the church service and be willing to listen.
There is the old joke: When you alone too much you are hanging around in a bad neighborhood. A first step out of isolation is to laugh at the pickle you have gotten yourself into. Then head toward the door.
