Lion-O
I'm not sure if I responded to this thread yet but since I'm sure not to be repeating too much here I'm having another shot
Basicly I prepare myself when carefully shuffleing the deck, I sometimes also take the deck in both of my hands while I basicly try to clear my mind. Whatever I do I try to keep my focus on the tarot and don't let my thoughts dwell on something else.
Now, this is probably going to sound odd but as of late I've done some readings on a friday evening. This isn't uncommon but for the fact that I usually have a beer in the weekend, this time I actually tried to do a reading after one glass of beer. I'm not a heavy drinker but also not someone who is heavily influenced with one glass. Still (not trying to influence people into drinking and reading) I did encounter a few moments where a reading left me with a more intense perception of the reading itself while still trying to keep my focus where it was needed.
So, silly as it may sound, sometimes I repeat this process in the weekend and do a reading in the evening after a glass of beer.
