I got it from here when I was in the beginner's circle of readers. You know, we'd be matched up with someone. The person leading the read suggested we pull the cards and keep them face down. Then place your hand on top of each one and just write down ANYTHING you felt.
I was amazed at how I'd feel a pit in my stomach with say..the 10 of swords. or the 7 of cups maybe a swirl in my head. Then I'd get ungrounded from it. It was really a fascinating idea she had. I haven't done it in a while!
Yep, this is great! I have never thought of doing that for the study of the cards, but I will!
I only do that when I draw cards. I have them face down of course but I also close my eyes to exclude completely my physical senses, and I pass my hand over the cards and draw the one for which I feel the strongest energy...But this is really a great idea to sense the energy of the card for study purposes. I'm not surprised that you felt uneasy when sensing the 10 of Swords!
I'm glad you mentioned it! Thanks!
