How Tarot Card Readings work

 

Hi everyone!  

Time to go a bit behind the veil and see how the Tarot answers our questions and how it can heal us through that process.  Tomorrow is another portal that happens yearly and so this article is perfectly timed. The portal is known as the 11-11 Portal (November 11th). I am thankful to my Spirit Guides for putting this on my heart today. Happiness, as well as suffering is always with us.  You cannot have one and not the other.  This is the way of the universe and ALL religions speak of it.  This is not just an idea that is made up to explain bad things happening.  In fact...are there really bad things or do we as humans on this 3 dimensional experience of "life" just apply the term to events and then create the reality ourselves.  We will not know the secrets of the universe until we become one with the universe.

How Tarot Heals

It's very important to me that my clients understand and recognize that my purpose in providing Tarot Card Readings and Reiki Treatments, is to provide spiritual and emotional healing and to foster better physical healing. Mental health can be influenced by improvements in spiritual, physical and emotional wellness.  Each aspect of our human existence is connected to another aspect within us and around us!  Have you heard people say, "we are all connected?".  That is what I mean by around us. The people and experiences that we allow into our innermost circle, influence us.  These influences, over time, are absorbed into our own Auric field.  At a certain point...how can we tell where ours begins and others' ends?  The only answer, is through awareness and practice in caring for that space immediately around you.  That space is your Auric Field, or your Aura to which it is often referred.

Most of you have heard people say Aura or perhaps you know things about your Aura.  Your Aura is invisible to the eye in terms of regular eyesight.  Occasionally, people experience seeing auras accompanied by eye strain or headaches.  These are not the Auras that I am speaking of.  The Auric Field that "glows" around a person is not generally visible to others.  Some people DO actually see the auras.  Most are able to perceive it using other senses, and still others have no notion of what an aura is.  These might be the people who frequently invade each other's physical space and have no idea that their proximity could disturb the other person.

None of us humans can help that our Auric fields are constantly bombarded with physical sensory experiences like these.  But spending time regularly (daily or several times per day) cleansing and restoring your Auric field is beneficial to overall improved health.  This can be achieved through a variety of methods such as a warm salt bath, a cool shower, swimming in water or walking on a windy field or coastline.  Meditation or yoga can help restore the Aura.  There are other ways too but these are some very common ones.

So how does Tarot relate to Aura, you may be wondering.  To start with, if you are touching Tarot Cards, you should cleanse your Aura first.  This has to become a practice.  You will influence your readings by your aura.  A skilled Tarotist should have a lifestyle that allows room within it for regular Auric maintenance, meditation and awareness of how they are doing overall with managing the "worldy" issues around them.  This must be the starting point before any Tarot Reading can occur.  If you are a new reader or a novice at Tarot Card Reading, I assure you that with constant practice, you WILL achieve a state of being that allows for this kind of temperance and balance.  It is work but it is well worth it.

When you schedule a Tarot Reading session, ask yourself a few questions to assure you feel comfortable that your Tarot Reader has done their personal work.  Here are some questions that I would encourage you to ask yourself upon meeting with them:

1.  Is this person clean and professional but relaxed and open?

2. Does this person project an air that they are weighed down by personal issues or obligations?

I want you to note these things first because your Tarot Reader may give you VERY WISE ADVICE...but they may have more ego attachment to it then they should.  This will lead to them asking you to buy additional services that will help them remove negative attachments from your aura or other types of witchcraft, when the truth is that you can do these things for yourself.  And more importantly, you are supposed to do these things for yourself! Healing that inner child, that wounded human soul....is your life's purpose no matter who you are!  So if someone is trying to graze you to get more money for crystal work, candle work or anything else like that, ask yourself how that makes you feel, and then act accordingly.

Once you are comfortable in the knowing that your Tarot Reader has no personal agenda but to help you through the session that you are in and have paid for, the next step is to breathe deeply several times and relax.  A relaxed and open aura around YOU is also needed in order for the reading to deliver the most benefit.  It is a team effort! When I work with a client, I like to set the mood by having low-lighting but not darkness.  I use soft music to help release tension for both myself and my querent (this is what Tarot readers call their clients).  I ask them to think about the questions on their heart but to release worry.  I ask them not to tell me too much because I want to perceive what I can first.  Although you have already booked and paid for your session, and shown up for the Reading, I will still ask your permission to read for you.  I usually ask it as the following question:

"Would you like me to tell you everything I see/hear"?

From this point, we have created a covenant for the 30 minutes to an hour that we are together.  We have created the possibility of my being able to visit you on the astral plane of the 4th dimension, maybe the 5th.  We have created a covenant of trust so that I may open your Akashic records and see inside the book of you as much as spirit allows based on my ability.  All Tarot Readers' gifts are slightly different from other Readers.  Some see spirits, or Angels who appear in an almost physical form.  Others only feel or perceive them based on how their gifts work.  Some hear them.  Not every Tarot Reader is a Medium who can receive messages from your deceased loved ones, however the cards provide a portal for those who have crossed over to answer through cards and the placement of cards.

At the end of the Tarot session, I feel a good Tarotist closes the portal between you and them that they previously opened.  There does continue to be a connection, but it weakens over the course of hours and days until it is gone.  Please understand that your Tarot Reader is receiving channeled guidance for you and because of this, they do not retain the memories of what they read for you.  Think of it like you would think of school or a job you have...you cannot retain everything that Teachers, clients or customers tell you because it was only useful during the exchange and your mind needs to clear it out and make room for what is present in front of you.  The same is true of your reading.  For this reason, some clients do record their readings or take notes.

A question I am asked sometimes is 

"Why do some of my predictions come true and others do not" 

or 

"why didn't you see a certain event coming or happening".  

The answer to this question (for me), is simply that I am also human.  I have to battle my ego in order to channel for you.  There may be things that I am unconsciously telling my Spirit Guides NOT to give me...or that my ego cannot handle knowing.  For this reason, I am "too close to the issue" as humans sometimes are.  I CAN however, perceive Spirit holding back information and I try to share that with my clients.  I will say...they are not answering that or they seem unwilling to acknowledge that; I cannot take that line of questioning much further.  They share what they believe we need in order to heal.  And there you have it...the answer to the question above:  

How does Tarot Heal.
