Just checking. I seem to have developed my own reading style over time. I was wondering how many others read the same way I do. All I know is it works for me. Does anyone else read this way???
I find over and over, for me anyway, that my readings are much more accurate when I do not use the book meanings. Although I sometimes very very briefly touch upon the basic meanings of the Majors are of the suits in the reading. Actually, over time, I have developed my own technique that works well for me. I myself have never thought of myself as psychic, but a lot of the people I read for think I must be, so maybe my techniqeu is developing that in me.
I wonder if others do what I do, read as I read...? A short descrition would be:
For this card
http://www.touchdrawing.com/3SoulCards/SC2/pages/ 80.htm
and the question "What do I need to know about my job right now?"
My method is very very inkblot/Rorschach test. LOL It is just like that. But it works somehow. Makes sense in a way because I guess what those inkblot tests are meant to do it to get to what is hidden in your unconscious, and intuitive/psychic reading can be a lot related to that.
Of course the question and position are very important to the answer. They lead it where it needs to go. And sometimes the other surrounding cards associate themselves.
Anyway....Let's say the question is "What do I need to know about my job right now?" and it was the card above that came up.... It's basically a three step process.
1) look at the image and notice any symbolism that stands out on that particular day and feels relevant, mark it down. It will not be the same symbols that strike you each time you use the same card.
2) look at each symbol from part 1, one at a time and (very psychological stuff, LOL) sense the very very first thing(s) it reminds you of, jot that down. These also can and often do vary a lot from reading to reading. Anything at all (a dress you had as a child, a class at school, just anything you first think of....no judgements, no matter what it is trust if it came to you there is a valid reason for it) Just for the pure fun of it and to see what you'll discover. It is fun too. No doubts just do it.The minute you feel a doubt creep in it's over and you need to take a break and start again. The doubts ruin the intuition. What you feel about each can be relevant as well. You could add that in too.
3) take all the notes of from part 2 and relate them back to the question.
You can do one symbol at a time or do all them all the 1's then all the 2's then all the 3's....
Let's say, ok, the question again was "What do I need to know about my job right now?" with the above card, a short version would be:
1 a) purple sky
b) stars (9)
c) unicorn
d) unicorn is white
e) has cut of horn
f) trees inside his stomach
g) horse body with human face....
go on as long as you feel like it, whatever seems relevant...keeping the question somewhere way in the back of your mind, part 2
2 a) reminds me of purple velvet dress I wore when I was 12 at my graduation=completing something/pride
b) success, fame
c) magical, faerytale creature, faeries, magic of life
d) white=wedding dress, happiness, joining of two things
e) something damaged
f) natural growth that is part of their being
g) the animal part of ourselves/instincts
Part 3 is just pulling it together into the story answer...And this is intiutive to in a sense. You have to feel where it;'s going and how it connects. And once it's flowing and you're in the flow add in anything you think of sponaneously that's part of the flow and has not been thought about or doubted.
So
3) Let's say what the person needs to look at in their job right now is how to take pride in his/her work How to complete each day and go home feeling a sense of pride at what he/she has accomplished. That is something they need to do. And it is part of thier personal vision of what success on the job means.
They need to not let things get boring for them and find the feeling of magic and connection in what they are doing to be happy there.
This card also says that balance should be maintained between the two areas of their lives (work and home). These much join in their lives in a harmonious way.
Something that once felt magical to them at work, now feels damaged. They are having trouble feeling that old magic they used to at their job...They need to work to find it again.
Take some time out in nature to relax...remember you are part of nature (nature is in you and all around you) and it is part of you.
Follow your instincts. Trust them they will be accurate at this time...
So that is a short reading...
Honestly, the key is faith. Just let it flow and trust the answers are coming from a valid place.
I read somewhere, and this REALLY really really helped me, that it is very very normal when reading intuitively (and I read best when doing it purely intuitively) to feel like you are making the answers up, like they are coming from nowhere. Because what we are really doing is pulling the answers up from our unconscious minds. While the unconscious is a great source of wisdom and is connected to so much more, the conscious mind has no idea at all what is down there. So it is completely natural when reading intuitively to feel like you are making the answers up and it's total nonsense. But it's not and you aren't. You're just connecting to something deeper than yourself that your conscious mind is not fully aware of. So if I ever start to doubt, I remember that that is just a sign that I am doing it right.
And that's about it. It's a blast! And it's so much fun. You wouldn't think it would work, but I have saved all my readings all aloing, and it has always worked very well as a method. And of course like any skill you get better at it with time. I am getting better with the method. I can take shortcuts now and they work, and the readings are getting more and more accurate. Sometimes already now I can just look at the symbol and feel exactly what it means. And then the querent tells me it was right.
