Tarot Card Reading for Self

Doing Tarot Reading for one-self is quite different in comparison to doing for others. One of the major reason being you are the one who is asking  the question and you only answer them :-). Also it might lead to a series of questions which I like to call as "cascading effect".

Eg, You are asking should you do A or B , or how would A choice be for you than B choice.You get a Four of Cups for A and 2 of Wands for B. As soon as you see Four of Wands you get inquisitive and want to know why? What would cause that situation? Who all are trying to influence you? and there you go ( ignoring the 2OW) ...before you know you have most of the cards out and left more confused than before.

Hence 6 important tips for doing Tarot for Self

1. Keep a notepad or writing pad with pen / pencil handy. A personal diary would be best.
2. Write all your questions before doing Tarot.
3. Beside the each question write the Tarot cards you picked up for that question. You may also write your understanding and interpretation but mentioning the cards is vital. You may use abbreviations for eg 2OW ( 2 of wands ) , KOS ( King of Swords ) etc.
4. Note the date of reading, anything special about that day to remember by.
5. Note the Tarot Deck you used too.
6. Read the questions and answers once before closing the reading and if anything is unclear pick a card for gaining more clarity.

You may also record the reading session.

Following the above would avoid you to fall into the trap where you keep on taking out cards till you get the answer you want! You can always come back and read your predictions for self after some days and analyse them, then you may realise the significance of noting down the exact cards for each question. As maybe when you were doing the reading you were so emotional and missed some important signs.

These are very basic but essential things to remember while doing Tarot for One-Self, else like in the picture above you would have most of the cards out and no clear answer!

Mystical Rudrakshas and their healing power.

Rudraksha (also Rudraksh; Sanskrit: rudrākṣa (“Rudra’s eyes”) is large evergreen broad-leaved tree whose seed is traditionally used for prayer beads in Hinduism. They are natural beads of Rudraksha tree which are known to have Neurophysical affects like improving concentration, focus, mental stamina, controlling stress levels along with health benefits in hypertension, blood pressure, diabetes etc. Its power has been described in Vedas and used for spiritual significance in India, Japan and China by Hindus, Bhuddist and Zen followers. Even modern science supports its benefits.

It comes in various faces or "Mukhis" meaning “the clefts or furrows on the surface”. Most famous ones are as follows

Ek - Mukhi or One Faced Rudraksha

More Plants for Mother Earth

Recently I bought some new plants and love taking care of them. Now I have three small money plants gift from a friend

I also have a small Alevora plant and a another one, I don't know name of in a beautiful hanging pot.

Full Moon Eclipse 25th April 2013 in Scorpio

So it Full Moon or Purnamashi Lunar Eclipse or ,Chandra Ghrahan tonight ( 25th April 2013 ) and I can't sleep.

Restless, anxious, confused, irritated,agitated.... my mind is working overtime...it seems like Moon has its full effects on me. I got to know about the eclipse this evening and did not get time to study its astrological significance.

Nevertheless eclipse are always good time to meditate to keep the upheaval of emotions at bay. So light a candle, say some mantras and try to sleep.

I am going to lie down and try to watch my breath. Its one of the Yoga technique my Yoga trainer taught me which assures sleep. So they say about reading book also which doesn't seem to help much tonight. :(

How are you feeling tonight ? Do you believe in your moods effected by some space body millions of miles away?

I have noticed it hence believe in it now...what about you? Is any one out there with similar experiences...I am longing to know.

Do share, like, post questions and comments.

Angel Therapy

Erik Berglund is an internationally renowned Artist and Healer and for me he is a living Angel. If you do not believe me visit his website and check out yourself. http://www.erikberglund.com/

I happen to speak to him during one of the phone sessions and his voice is amazing. He can actually very accurately help you the root cause of your issue and suggest affirmations and number chanting for Angel Healing.

I followed his advice and was doing Angel Healing for myself. I thought I should do for my mom too as she was not keeping well. On Full Moon Night , lit some candles, I kept her picture in front of me, drew some Reiki symbols and healing numbers on her pictures, played some soothing Angel voice music I found on web, burnt some aromatic candles and starting praying to Archangels to heal her.

Intuitively I felt I should use my Angel Cards for healing and I took my cards, shuffled them and pick out the number of cards I felt I should. I believed the cards which I get are the kind of messages for my mother. I started praying to all the Archangels of the cards in my hand to give her respective healing. For example I got an Archangel Ariel card of Strength and prayed the Angels to give her strength.

Similarly I started doing for my brother, sisters and friends. Just thinking about them would take a number of cards. Whichever Angel Card comes, I ask those Archangels to heal them.

Significance of same card repetition across the spreads

If a particular card comes again and again in various questions or spreads , it means that there is real significance of the card.
Consider that the card is telling you a something which is running your life in background , or it is giving you a message that you should really look into it.
Maybe there is something incomplete and once you accept it , it would open up the doors for you.

How to do Tarot for close friends and relatives?

Tarot is very powerful and if not used wisely can actually corrupt the whole purpose of it.
I have been doing Tarot for myself , my family and very close friends and it needs a lot of training to be unbaised and detached.

Hence , I follow an approach which has been quite helpful.
I tell my friends not to tell me the question , and I shall give a generalised prediction and they should try and relate.If  they cant relate I ask them to remember what I said and later on we dicuss it.

Recenty I did this this with one of my friend ( first time with her).Half way through I could understand what is she asking about. :-)

She was happy and could really relate to the cards well!!

Can Tarot Actually Predict the Future ?

This is the first usual question people ask once you tell that you know “Tarot” , "can it actually tell the future?" Answer is both “No” and “Yes”, actually I don’t know what is the exact answer to it but I can only share my experiences with it.

Yes , as lot of my friends have told me later specially those who don’t disclose their questions to me that what I told them did come out to be true.

No , as I think once I tell you that may be other person is hiding from you something and you start thinking in that direction , somehow using the power of the subconscious to manifest it to reality.

Or like if I tell you that you are travelling for sure. You must be asking about onsite opportunity, it might be you have to go home on an emergency, still you would be “travelling” hence it can be said that prediction was correct.

Mostly I believe Tarot tells the probability of things happening based on your choices which is linked with your current state of mind. As the choices changes, the future changes. Hence consider Tarot as an advisory which can help you to make most empowering choices.
