How to Get the Best Out of Tarot Readings.

If you have visited my page before you already know that I use Tarot and other divination cards to discover hidden knowledge, uncover patterns of behavior and attitude as a means of self exploration, and that I encourage others to do the same. If you are not familiar with the Tarot or divination cards, are someone who has seen the cards in movies but never had a reading, or has had a reading but didn't get much out of the experience, today's blog is especially for you. 

You don't have to be a Psychic to use the Tarot

Everyone can use the Tarot or other divination cards but there are some people who seem to get more information out of them. These people are often psychically gifted or are educated and interested in the symbols, imagery, and allegorical language of the Tarot. You do not have to be a psychic to use or receive benefit from playing with the cards and you don't have to believe in the spiritual/futuristic aspect or the mystical to go to someone for a card reading. There is much benefit to be gained through self-awareness and examination simply by playing with them as a game. However, the pass time is more fun, and often more insightful, when you get a reading from someone who has invested time, interest, and effort in learning about and practiced use of the Tarot.

What a Psychic brings to the table

The world of divination and the spiritually gifted is widely varied. Just as with other arts, every practitioner has their speciality and talent. Not all "Psychics" practice the same skill or form of divination and not all gifted persons share the same talents or degree/level of talent. 

The term psychic is rather a broad label used to cover a range of spiritual gifts and people who use those gifts. One could use any number of other titles.  Some of these labels describe the kind of talent or method of divination used. 

Psychic  (online dictionary)
adjective
1. relating to or denoting faculties or phenomena that are apparently inexplicable by natural laws, especially involving telepathy or clairvoyance, "psychic powers."
Similar:  supernatural, paranormal, otherworldly, supernormal, preternatural, metaphysical,  second sight, with a sixth sense
2. relating to the soul or mind. 
3. a person considered or claiming to have psychic powers (unexplainable knowledge of. . . through extra extrasensory perception.)
Similar: clairvoyant, fortune teller, prophet, seer, soothsayer, forecaster of the future, crystal gazer, astrologer, prognosticator, prophesier, oracle, augur

While I do possess several spiritual gifts, I am primarily Clairsentient (clear-feeling, strongly empathic), and Claircognizant (clear-knowing) using divination cards, including the Tarot, as the tool for drawing out information.  Real psychics usually don’t claim to be literal mind readers. They pick up on energy and may sense strong emotions or stark images using their gifts/talent. Some receive information from spirits that they hear through Clairaudience, others receive knowledge through scent which only they are smelling - Clairalience. (These are examples and do not cover all the possible psychic gifts.)

I have a strong gift of empathy, the ability to feel what others are feeling or experiencing. If the emotional emanation is strong enough a person's emotional projections may contain images which I will see mentally and be able to work with. When a client is cut off from their emotions or is intentionally shielding their emotions, the divination cards act as a door or entry point for claircognizance and assist me with interpreting what comes through.  

Focus Wheel and Pyramid of Influences

The cards allow me to open a dialogue about the client's particular area of focus, their question, and to explore the energies around them, so that we can both better understand the situation – namely, where that energy is coming from and why.  While you can ask very specific yes/no questions, divination cards and the Tarot are better suited for exploring whole areas of life, such as career, family, friendships, love life and personal or spiritual goals.

How to get the best out of a Tarot/divination card reading

First of all, is a Tarot or card reading the right form of divination tool for your needs?

As I have already said, Tarot or card readings are not the best form of divination for yes or no questions. Cards are best used when looking at broader areas of life, reading patterns of behavior, looking for or at resistance, problem solving - how to remove or address obstacles/blocks, and for gaining objectivity/insight about a situation. If you are looking to find a lost puppy, take their blanket or favorite toy as a "focus" to someone with the gift of psychometry. They may be able to "see" where the lost pup is using the energetic connection between the dog and the toy/item used as a focus. A tarot reading would not be the ideal choice of divination tool for that need.  

Once you know that Tarot is the best tool to explore your area of focus, take a moment to think through a line of questioning. This is especially important. The cards reveal more if you have a line of questioning. 

Sample Focus Wheel

Lines of Inquiry

Come to a reading with an area of focus or a line of questioning.  It is very helpful for the reader if you are able to narrow the focus for your reading. If you are too vague about what you are looking for or don't have a question in mind, the reading could be very general indeed. A line of questioning is helpful for the reader and assists them in weeding through all of the information they are getting from your energy and the cards. 

Here are some examples for lines of inquiry that work well with divination cards:

I'm in a new relationship. I'd like to see what the cards have to say about my love interest, where they are in life, what they are looking for, and what’s in store for this relationship.

I’d like to look at my career. I'm - considering another position/up for promotion. Can we look at that? Is this good timing? What can I expect? Any advice?

I am feeling very isolated and want to make some new friends but every time I open up I get let down. Why is that? How can I find people I can trust?

I am thinking about . . . moving/changing/pursuing _____ (fill in the blank). I’d like to know what the cards suggest I do: move, not move, change, not change, or to pursue, not to pursue and any spiritual reasons, material influences etc.

I’m trying to get pregnant, and it hasn’t happened yet. What can the cards tell me about my present and future in relation to getting pregnant? 

Other Tips 

Readers put a lot of time into educating themselves and practicing with the cards. If you decide to play with divination cards yourself, you will discover that there is no end to the amount of learning that can go into their study and use. The best readers are always seeking to expand their knowledge and awareness level, in order to serve their clients better.  Readers put themselves out there and it pulls on their energy to do so. There is an energetic price to be paid when exercising a psychic gift and it costs them to read for you. Add to that cost the mundane aspects of organizational and business expenses required for them to practice, and you get one very invested reader. A monetary exchange of energy currency is expected and reasonable for their time and efforts. 

• If you respect their investment and are mindful of your reader's efforts as a matter of courtesy, you will get the best they have to offer
• Schedule an appointment
• or if a Reader offers walk-in sessions at shop, take advantage of their availability.

Go For It!

Now that you have a better idea of what to expect and how to get the best out of Tarot and divination card readings, it is time to have some fun. Go play!

It Takes More than Desire. . .

Reaching

It used to seem like I was always reaching; as though all my hopes, desires, dreams and goals were just out of reach. Wanting, desiring just isn't enough. I think maybe that is because there is an element of lack in the experience of desiring. If all we do is aknowledge our desire for a thing . . . that yearning also informs the universe of our belief in the lack of it, that we don't have what we desire.  It sure is easy to get stuck in that place of yearning. To be always reaching, noticing only the lack of fulfillment; a real problem for anyone seeking to manifest through deliberate creation. 

Talking about this makes me think of my Mama. She used to say something like "I feel for you, but I just can't reach you. . ." when she wanted us to understand that she sympathized but we were going to have to help ourselves. My siblings and I learned if we wanted something we had to get it for ourselves, find our own solutions, be independent or at least make an attempt to.   

Doing, doesn't seem to cut it either. . .

My Mama would have said "Do something about it.  Go after what you want." Conventional wisdom, but doing something doesn't seem to cut it either. I mean, doing something doesn't guarantee successfully reaching the goal. I have spent enough time spinning my wheels to know that. I've rocked and spun my tires smooth! I've thrown down gravel, added weight in my trunk. I've tried paying for a tow, a lift, an edge only to get nowhere. That is until I did something about my vibration. 

Until we do something about our vibration

“Everything is energy and that is all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can not help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” Albert Einstein 

The Teaching

 

When My Desires and Beliefs are a Vibrational Match

 That which is like unto itself is drawn, so the vibration of your being must match the vibration of your desire. Another way of saying that is your desires and your beliefs must be a vibrational match in order for you to receive that which you desire. ~ Abraham/Ester Hicks

 

But, How do I get from here to there! 

We all want to  know the answer to that one! And there is an answer, many. Understanding that our desires and beliefs must be a vibrational match however is pivotal in being able to obtain results or movement. If we don't first understand how we are impeding our own progress, by fostering negative or erroneous beliefs, we just won't get there. We will be stuck. We might be putting in all kinds of effort and won't be in the right place at the right moment to meet that opportunity. All of our efforting and our desires will get us nowhere. No fruit. 

I have spent too much time coming to an understanding of this key to manifestation (regret tinged,) the hero who got lost in the wilderness. 

Which reminds me that, as the hero, I have wandered the wild places and faced many an adversary, growing and developing the skills, knowledge, strength, and magic needed; gathering tools and companions for my journey's quest.  I digress. Those are thoughts for another blog topic. 

Back to the teaching. . . 

That which is like unto itself is drawn, so the vibration of your being must match the vibration of your desire. Another way of saying that is your desires and your beliefs must be a vibrational match in order for you to receive that which you desire.

The vibration of my Being . .  must match. . the vibration of my desire

Well dang, if it isn't so.  Once I turned my awareness to shifting thoughts and beliefs and began aligning my energies/vibration/frequency (interchangeable) with my desires life opened up for me and the blessings began pouring through. I started lining up with opportunity.  When I get stuck reaching now, I find it much easier to recognize the old patterns of belief and inhibitive thinking. My energies shift as I refocus my awareness, turning toward the preferred with appreciation. Tensions melt. Resistance lessens, and I'm back in the flow.  

Affirmation:  

I am never stuck, for I can choose new thoughts and new ways of thinking. My future can always be more positive, more loving and more prosperous. ~ Louise Hay Affirmation

And that is where I am going to leave you today, my friends. Thinking about what it means, and what kind of shift it would require, to bring your desires and your Being into vibrational alignment.  A How To topic we will explore further another day.
