the theory i agree with at the moment is that we are connecting with our higherselves or our soul, this means we cant read for other people when reading.yagger said:now i wonder, if you don't open up for spirits or whatever there is when drawing cards, does it mean all energy comes from within yourself. So we have that energy and power in ourselves without connecting to anything or anywhere else to draw the cards that should answer our questions?
However you can connect to your guides without opening up so the information could come through there, however if its coming through any of the clairs (clarivoyance etc) you are opening up to a certain degree,therefore you can attract bad energy or spririts.
i have learnt that different disiplines require different levels of protection and different levels of opening up.
if you want to read for other people then you do need to get the information about them from somewhere, so likely you are opening up at some point, as you must be reading their energy.
