Describing Tarot in this way respects the psychic lineage. Since time immemorial men and women have looked for signs to show the way. We all do.

A stock broker does the same in reading the market. A mother does the same in reading her baby. You do the same in reading your relationship. We all look for the signs. And this is what psychics also do.

It takes practice to read the signs accurately and confidently. It doesn't take years. It takes practice. With every new baby a mother improves her child rearing skills. It's practice. Successful stock brokers learn to read the stock market like a music score. It's practice. It's practice and interpretation.

People sometimes say that genuine psychics don't have to rely on Tarot. They say that genuinely intuitive readers should be able to tell what's happening without any tools or aids. I disagree totally with this perspective.

Tarot is not a second rate tool. It has its own lineage that anyone would be proud to belong to. It is a lineage that has been around since the beginning of time. Women and men have always looked for psychic signs to guide them.

Tarot is a great art. It is one of the great arts for exploring the subconscious. As an art it deserves a place in anyone's life. It is great for intuitively discovering and uncovering the truth.

Why do I promote Tarot? Why is it that I think anyone who is searching for the truth will benfit from it? It's simple. It never fails to give me insight and guidance.

The cards are sensitive to the situation being explored and also the people involved in the situation. An intuitive card reading is very helpful for whatever stage you are at in your life.

The person reading the cards has the responsibility of discovering the most empowering insight. The most empowering insight comes forth only if the reader has the highest good of all in their heart when they read the cards. The cards can only answer questions at whatever level is appropriate for the person having the reading.

Your intention is what makes the difference and that needs practice. The cards are very sensitive to energy. Readers who are more interested in showing off their own psychic ability will take away that sensitivity. They will replace it with a counselling medium that comes from them. Tarot won't work that way.

Practice is what is required to be able to relax into what the cards are saying. You can then use your own personal communication skills to interpret the message in a caring and empathetic way. Relaxation is what counts.

My own personal way is a simple relax down method that I practice before each reading. This is how I enter the shared consciousness. The sharing is what matters. It is through the shared experience that real knowledge comes forth.

I know that indeed there are people out there reading the Tarot meanings from a script and calling it a reading. They are merely reading out words with no real meaning. I see this as an insult to genuine psychics. And what's more, I could teach these people to read the cards in a few easy steps and then it would be up to them to, yes, you guessed it, practice!

Genuinely intuitive readers know the value of Tarot. What I know is that if you are open to letting the cards talk, they will! The cards cannot wait until someone gets their hands on them to do the Psychic Shuffle! When you have your next reading, be open in your mind and let the cards in!
