TAROT CARDS are about-

ENERGY, ENERGY AND ENERGY

1. Tarot cards primarily involve energy fields, which

help the tarot reader to connect at face value.
2. Connect with your Tarot card at a personal level
and TRUST that you both will work hand in hand
always.
3. Center yourself before any reading. This could be
through:
 Meditation
 Grounding
 Listening to music
 Sitting in silence
4. Clear the space while you are reading with:
 Smudging with incense sticks/ sage
 Crystals
 Rock salt
 Reiki healing
 Aroma oils
 Singing bowl

5. When you receive your first deck, open the deck,

see through each card and feel the energies
through the pictures- whether it is positive,
negative, feelings and emotions in the picture.
6. Cleanse the deck. Usually a new pack of decks
are clean yet always better to cleanse. Ways to
cleanse your deck are:
 Arranging all the cards in the order of major
and minor arcanas.
 Reiki/ Lama fera healing
 Rock salt
 Incense/ Smudging with sage or agarbatti
 Cleansing with crystals – Clear quartz/
selenite/ black tourmaline/ amethyst
 With aroma oils
 Under full moon- it is said to release
unwanted energy and grab the energy for
your highest good
 Singing bowl
 Knocking the cards- Remove the negative
energy by knocking the cards three times
with your knuckles and imagine white
light passing your cards.

What are Tarot Cards?

The Tarot is a deck of 78 cards, each with its own imagery, symbolism and
story. The 22 Major Arcana cards represent life’s karmic and spiritual lessons,
and the 56 Minor Arcana cards reflect the trials and tribulations that we
experience on a daily basis.

Within the Minor Arcana cards, there are 16 Tarot Court Cards representing 16
different personality characteristics we may choose to express at any given time.
The Minor Arcana also includes 40 numbered cards organised into 4 Suits, with
10 cards each, representing various situations that we encounter day-to-day.

What Can Tarot Cards Do?

Some may say that Tarot cards are simply ink on paper. However, what I have
discovered from reading the Tarot cards daily for over twenty years is this:
Tarot is the storybook of our life, the mirror to our soul, and the key to our inner
wisdom.
Every spiritual lesson we meet in our lives can be found in the seventy-eight
Tarot cards. And when we consult the Tarot, we’ll get shown the exact lessons
we need to learn and master to live an inspired life. It’s like holding up a mirror
to yourself so that you can access your subconscious mind. Tarot allows us to
tap into the wisdom and answers that live in us all.

How Can I Use Tarot Cards?

Tarot is perfect for self-development, making choices, manifesting goals,
coaching others, planning a business, writing a book, meditating—you name it.

So, How Exactly Do Tarot Cards Work?

While many people believe that Tarot will tell you the future, making predictions
are not really what Tarot cards are about.
 II OM SAI RAM II

When it comes to Tarot, fortune-telling is out, and intuition is in, especially if you
want to create your ideal future and manifest your goals.
The most powerful way to read the Tarot is to use the cards to access your
intuition and your inner wisdom. The imagery in the cards give you instant
access to your subconscious mind and your intuition. And from this place
of inner power and wisdom, you can discover how to make positive
changes now so you can manifest your goals and your dreams in the future.

For Example…
Let’s say you want to find a new romantic relationship. Instead of pulling a card
to predict whether Prince Charming is just around the corner and either being
blissfully excited or bitterly disappointed, you consult the cards to
discover how you can attract love (and keep it!). You draw the Ten of Cups, and
upon seeing the happy family dancing under the rainbow in the card, you are
reminded that to attract love, you need to set a clear vision of what it is you want
to attract.
This simple act of envisioning your desired relationship then has a subtle, yet
powerful, effect on your ability to find new love, and instead of waiting around
for someone to find you, you are empowered to take action and find them.

Creating a Connection
It’s as if the Tarot cards create an instant connection to our subconscious minds
so we can access the inner wisdom of our Higher Self. And from there we can
bring it into our conscious awareness where we can take action. Neat, right!?
And here’s the thing – you may already consciously know the message or insight
you receive in a Tarot reading, in which case, the reading can be a heartening
confirmation of what you already know. Or, you might be completely unaware of
the message until you see it reflected in the cards, in which case you are now
empowered to take action based on your new awareness.

How do Tarot Cards Work When Reading for Others?

By now, you know that the Tarot is a powerful tool for self-discovery and
manifestation. But, that doesn’t quite explain what happens when you’re reading
 II OM SAI RAM II

for someone else and pick up that they’re dating someone twenty years their
junior and have told no one about it (true story!). What’s happening there?

Our Universal and Inner Wisdom

Well, here is where things might be a little more “out there” and magical. You
see, we are all connected to a collective, universal wisdom and our inner wisdom.
And when we read the Tarot cards—and connect with our intuition—we can tap
into this universal wisdom. It’s a little like connecting in with the collective mind,
not just the individual mind.

Asking Questions for Others

When you ask the Tarot cards a question on behalf of someone else (who has
given permission for the reading and whose energy is invested in the reading),
you are tapping into this collective wisdom. You are picking up all sorts of
intuitive messages through the Tarot cards and through your connection with
the collective wisdom. And those insights are channeled through you to the
person you’re reading for, often in a very powerful way.
So, just imagine what might be possible for you – and the people you read for –
with this limitless, timeless knowledge at your fingertips!
