expansion/reworking
Hello. I'm just a lurker here, but I've used this spread quite a bit over the last few months, and I've added to it and changed it a bit a few times. Just this morning, I changed it again a little, and I like it so much I thought I would share. I hope Amy doesn't mind.
Note that I changed the order of the cards and the layout, too. One can, of course, set it up however they like.
~~~~~.10.~~~~~
~~.8.~~~~~.9.~~
~~.6.~~~~~.7.~~
~~.4.~~~~~.5.~~
~~.2.~~~~~.3.~~
~~~~~.1.~~~~~
Meanings are as follows:
1. How things stand at the moment
2. What conscious emotional state you are maintaining, or trying to maintain.
3. What conscious emotional state they are maintaining, or trying to maintain.
4. What less-than-conscious emotional state is present in you. What "pops up" when you are off guard, or what is just there when you aren't trying to maintain anything.
5. What less-than-conscious emotional state is present in them. What "pops up" when they are off guard, or what is just there when they aren't trying to maintain anything.
6. The impression you're intending to give them
7. The impression they're intending to give you
8. The impression you are receiving, regardless of how closely it matches their intent.
9. The impression they are receiving, regardless of how closely it matches your intent.
10. Where things are most likely headed in whatever time frame you specify, or intuitively sense. You can always skip this card entirely, too. Might be more useful to skip it if the situation is loaded with variables.
It still utilizes the very useful head/heart distinction like the original, despite the change in wording. With the two new cards, it also adds a distinction between impressions being given, and being received. THAT in particular I have found extremely useful.
Hope you like it.
