   Tarot Card Spreads

   normally ideal for a general overview of a certain situation. However, it can be used to ask specific questions. The Celtic Spread can actually give a general outcome of the situation if the person keeps his hopes, as well as his relationships with other people.

2. 21 Card Romany Spread. This card is also as useful. When using this spread, there are 21 cards that are laid out in three rows, each with 7 cards. Each of the rows represents the past, present, and future. Each of these is part of telling a continuous story. The only thing about this spread is that it can only give a general overview of situations.
3. Identify Money Blocks Spread. From the name itself, it deals with money issues. It allows the seeker to get to the bottom of blockages about money. Using 18 questions for a 3 x 3 layout, the sources of the limitations and blockages will be identified.”

In addition to the Tarot Card Spreads there are many basic rules that should be adhered to when doing a Tarot Card Reading. By following these rules during a reading you may see in increase in the reliability of your reading because accuracy can be altered by outside energy as further discussed in the Tarot Card Spreads article.

“— traditionally the first suit in the tarot’s minor arcana (the 56 cards of the tarot deck that are based on a traditional pack of playing cards). There is a good reason why Wands come first, which is to do with the quality of experience that they represent.”

More about The Wands in Tarot:

“Wands are more challenging to hold and to understand because they are intangible by nature. They can and do become tangible as we move through the suits, but they are different from the other suits in one key way: they are neutral. Wands energy is not concerned with how we feel, how we think, how we experience our reality because, in its purest form (embodied by the Ace of Wands), it precedes all three. Wands energy is simply there for the harnessing.”

Here is part of her list of the Wands in Tarot Cards and how they can manifest in your life.

“Ace of Wands – This is the energy that I described to you in the paragraphs above. It is the purest potential of the Wands suit, and when it comes up in a reading it is drawing your attention to a situation where you are able to draw on it and harness it in a meaningful way. The Ace of Wands is the ‘gift of oomph!’. Use it wisely if you want to make the most of it.

Two of Wands – A man stands with two wands, holding one — his powers of manifestation — while the other one remains behind him as potential, sitting in the realm of spirit (like a guardian angel at his shoulder). In his other hand, there is a globe. This is about bringing the world into being, and creation as an act shared by man and his connection to spirit / his higher self.

Three of Wands – This is the moment when we release what we have created into the world, knowing that we have done all that we can, and that we have controlled all the we are able to control in the process. Now it is a matter of seeing how our ships fare on the ocean (of fiery consciousness), and what will return to us.

Four of Wands – You’re being invited to take part in something of which you have, until now, only been an observer. A gateway of four wands stands between you and the life and community that are waiting for you. Will you step up and step through?

Five of Wands – This is energy that is potentially collaborative, but imbued with conflict (conflicting interests) and a lack of organisation and direction. I love Amanda Painter’s observation that it looks “like a bunch of guys on booze or acid attempting a barn-raising.” Apt.

Six of Wands – When this card comes up, you are being singled out for recognition in some way, and deservedly so. Out of the conflict of the Five comes the victory of the Six — in spite of all indications to the contrary, something worthwhile has been brought into being, although, as we are only approaching halfway through the Wands suit, it feels more like a transitional state leading on to something else, rather than the destination.

Seven of Wands – Sometimes we fight in contrast with our own best interests, and here we are resisting the creative drive coming from beneath because of what we fear it will bring with it. This is understandable: There is a good (if perhaps no longer useful) reason for defending ourselves, but in the process we are also blocking vital energy. This, to me, feels like an invitation to stop fighting and see what it is that emerges.

Eight of Wands – This is zingy, zany energy that is akin to a jolt of electricity. It is what becomes available to us when we lower our defenses in the Seven. It is highly creative if we can direct it. It is currently in full flow. Will it scatter us and our intentions, or will we rise to the task of using it as productively as possible?

Nine of Wands – Something that has bitten us on the arse in the past is coming into consciousness in the present, and we are wounded and cautious. Once bitten, twice shy. The thing is, if we could only see the reality of our situation — that the wands are in line, behaving themselves — then we could align with them by putting our wand in the space that is waiting for it.

Ten of Wands – Oppression. This is a burden that we have chosen to take on ourselves. In the words of Joseph Campbell: “Your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself.” Perhaps the toil is necessary; perhaps not. If we choose to move forward, there is help available up ahead.

Page of Wands – Young and somewhat admiringly awe-struck of his wand (teenagers, eh?), the Page represents a person or situation as-yet-untested, but which holds the qualities of his/her/its suit. The Page of Wands is rather dandy: Jaunty hat perched on his head, he looks fashionable for his era, and his clothes are colourful and seem to be of some substance. Appearances are paramount here — all on the outside. What he holds has yet to be internalised and integrated.”

Do you want to help others with your psychic abilities? Are you interested in finding ways to develop your clairvoyant abilities?

Do you have clairvoyant abilities?

Many people feel they have a connection with the unknown but are unsure how to cultivate their inner strengths and abilities. In fact the most powerful validation of your psychic reading abilities will be the Self Validation that comes from deep within yourself and only you can make that determination after repeated experience with your gift.

Here is an interesting article from Laura Silva about improving your clairvoyant abilities.

“Have you ever had a bad feeling about a situation or someone, or premonitions about the future? Have you ever felt that something was going to happen and you felt agitated for no logical reason? These are examples of clairvoyance. Popular media focuses on the disaster-prevention and murder-solving abilities of clairvoyants. But not all messages that we receive by extra-sensory means are negative or potentially devastating. We can have very strong feelings about taking a certain job, for instance; or taking a particular course of action – this is how clairvoyance can be useful in helping us create our ideal lives. But since most of us ignore these messages, we are not attuned to the intuitive guidance we all possess.”

Listen to yourself to develop your clairvoyant abilities

“Have you ever had a flash of insight or inspiration? Here’s how that comes about: parts of the brain will dip into the slower alpha brain activity for microseconds several times per minute during the normal waking hours, when the majority of the brain is operating at the beta level of activity (normal alert, active mode). This slower activity state is where intuition is accessed, and it explains why we receive only flashes of insight, creativity, inspiration, perception or intuitive feelings. Clairvoyants have just developed the ability to remain in the alpha brainwave state for longer periods – so the information can be perceived freely, and they are open and non-critical of the information they receive.”

This is a very interesting article and does go into great depth explaining ways for you to further develop your present clairvoyant abilities.

“When you spend some time every day in meditation and learn to quiet your mind of all internal distractions (your habitual thoughts and inner chatter), you become more open to messages coming from the universe. Intuitive guidance can be loud sometimes, but often it’s subtle and you have to have a clear mind in order to be aware of it. That’s why the slower, calmer brain activity, where language stops, is essential for uninhibited clairvoyance.”

White witchcraft is basically all the different spells that are used to bring happiness and positivity to one’s life. These spells are not used to harm anyone else and this is what more people need to understand because there is nothing to worry about when you are only dealing with the white witchcraft spells. Just make sure that you follow the four basic rules of white witchcraft. The first involves life and making sure that you live yours as full and enjoyed as possible.

There are so many dreams we all have and you can use white witchcraft spells to help you gain achievements in life. Whether you want to get accepted into a particular school, improve your grades or do anything else that is going to help improve your life overall there are white witchcraft spells that can help you with this. The second rule is to love as much as you can and if you are lonely and want to find someone who is going to be your partner in life, there is a really basic love spell you can try. You sit in a room alone and put the picture down on the place, face down and wait for fifteen minutes.

Within that time or at least within the next couple of days that person is going to make a move and show you that they love you. The third rule of white witchcraft is that you need to learn. There are so many things a person will learn in life but some people just pass them over and that is not what you should be doing. This is one of the cornerstones of the craft and it is important to learn what life is teaching you as this will not only help your life in general but also be assistive when you are casting white witchcraft spells.

The fourth and final rule of white witchcraft is to enjoy. Enjoying is a very important part of witchcraft because you should be positive in a good mood when you are casting spells. Black magic is the side of things where people are angry and depressed, using spells to get vengeance and this is not what you want. White witchcraft has a lot to offer and the spells used are not harmful, so just make sure you stay away from the black magic spells.

Praying that his son should develop into his heir, the king managed his best to separate the prince from those things that might inspire him toward a spiritual existence.  The prince was bombarded by comfort  and excess, every one of the advantages that his royal status could offer.  Siddharta Gautama proved to be a brilliant scholar and exceptional sportsman.  He married a lovely woman whom he cherished and  they  bore a child.”

At the age of 29, the prince found out that the world around him was much more complex than what he encountered in the walls of his palace.  Out amongst the people of the kingdom, he  discovered reality: sickness, old-age and death. The shock of this discovery left the youthful prince shaken. He decided then to dedicate himself to ending the suffering. Leaving his wife and child, the prince forsaked his worldly belongings and embarked on a spiritual journey.

Guatama began a course of study under numerous teachers to understand their methods. With the help of Alara Kalama, he soon started to learn meditation and discovered an exalted form known as absorption.  This allowed him to accomplish a state of nothingness where there is no moral or cognitive dimensions. Although this was useful it was clear to the past prince that it would not resolve the suffering he  had seen.  Guatama carried on his hunt for others who could guide him on his spiritual voyage.  Udraka Ramputra, helped Gautama to comprehend a state of neither perception or non-perception,  but this to was not what he was searching for. The next step in his quest led Gautama to Uruvilva in Northern India.  It was there that he deciced on an ascetic way, experiencing a life of deprivation for nearly 6 years. This just resulted in the degradation of his entire body, weakness and self-destruction. Even though it cost him his five followers, Gautama ended this ascetic lifestyle.

The end of this spiritual journey appeared as far away as ever, so the Buddha sat down under a Bodhi tree and proclaimed that “flesh may wither, blood may dry up, but I shall not rise from the spot until Enlightenment has been one.”  After 40 days of thought and meditation, the Buddha at last attained Enlightenment.

It’s the Buddhist belief that at that moment he achieved a state of being that exceeds anything else in the world. Our normal experiences are based on preconceptions and conditions: how we were raised, our ordeals, imperfections and mistakes. Enlightenment is a state in which the complicated inner workings of life become apparent and the reason for human suffering identified.

For the next 45 years, the Buddha journeyed through much of what’s today north India. He taught the way of Enlightenment to all or any that desired to understand. This teaching had become known as the dharma or “the teaching of the enlightened one.     The Buddha took a number of disciples who in turn achieved their own Enlightenment and so they trained others.

Buddhists believe that Buddha attained a state of existence that goes beyond everthing else in the world. If typical experience is founded on conditions – parental input, psychology, viewpoints, awareness, and so on – Enlightenment is Unconditioned. It was a state in which the Buddha gained insight into the deepest operation of life and for that reason, into the cause of human suffering, the challenge that had set Him on His spiritual journey originally.

The Buddha statue we often see doesn not represent a god and would not look at himself as a divine person. He was just a man who endeavored to transform himself through self reflection and meditation. Buddhists view him as an ideal and his journey as a guideline which will direct them on the path to enlightenment.  Most homes that practice Buddhism will display some type of Buddha decor like a statue of Buddha, but this is intended to remind them of their own spiritual journey.

Prior to Europeans showed up in meso America the inhabitants employed a complicated mix off calendars to record their dates.  The Haab or solar calendar, both a timepiece and Mayan art form, was composed of eighteen 20 day months along with a time period of 5 days known as Wayeb to bring the total to 365.

The Tzolkin on the other hand was a cycle of 260 days, thirteen multiplied by twenty.  No-one has learned quite exactly why 260 days were decided on, however it appears the numbers 13 and twenty were each important to these earlier civilizations. There exists a probability that it was related to the time period between a woman's initial missed period and the birth of  her child, and helped calculate when a baby might be born, however other notions about crop growing and zodiac observations might be just as accurate. Nearly all dates could possibly be set by a combination of the Haab and Tzolin, the cycle would come together once every fifty-two years, which is approximately once in every life time.

To observe cycles longer than 52 years the Mayans employed a different technique that we now refer to as the Long Count calendar. This method is shown in both Olmec and Aztec art and wasn't introduced by the Maya. Dates run forward from a mythic day zero, the date from the start of the current world. Like all civilizations the base units were days, with twenty days in the uinal and 18 uinals in a tun (approximately a year). A K'atun consisted of 20 tuns and 20 of those a b'ak'tun. Once more the number 13 is significant and quite a few inscriptions in Mayan art indicate the date changing at the conclusion of 13 b'ak'tuns and spoke of events to occur on this date. This lead to  a belief that the Mayans envisioned something substantial to occur near the last day of the 13th B'ak'tun. That day has been calculated to be 21st or 23 December 2012. So what can we expect?

Well according to many scholars nothing whatsoever. There are some references to things going on about that point in time in inscriptions, but nothing genuinely concrete, therefore it is really surprising the amount of fuss 2012 seems to be creating. A few state there will a religious evolution, while some mention a momentous galactic alignment, even though this is based on the location of the galactic equator, which can't be identified, this does not appear very likely. Yet other people worry about planet Niburu.

Collision with planet X (or Niburu) was forecast since 2003, but any planet near enough to be within collision with the Earth in 2012 would certainly now be obviously visible to astronomers in the evening sky. Sadly this fictional collision has become confused in the media with the actual and predicted approach of a giant asteroid referred to as Eros that is likely to pass the earth in 2012. Eros is greater than the asteroid that we believe wiped out the dinosaurs 65 millions years back but since it won't ever be closer than seventy times the distance from the moon, it is not likely to do any destruction.

Looking at the Mayan calendar is a great reason to think about how we calculate time and why, to be aware of the solar cycles that still rule our life and also to admire the art of an appealing society. As to preparing for the end of the world, that still appears slightly premature.

For most people their previous life is nothing more than a passing curiosity. They may not realize that past life regression therapy has helped many change their lives for the better.

Scientists of today are beginning to see that there are benefits to past life regression therapy. Studies have shown that people can make big changes in their life for the better once they have dealt with horrible things that happened to them in a past life.

The process involves usually a hypnosis session with a Past Life Regression expert, or it can also be done via self hypnosis. It is also a good idea to include regular affirmations sessions, to prepare the subconscious mind to accept that it is okay to remember your past lives.

Before beginning a past life regression session it is imperative that you are certain and believe certain things.

Never doubt that your previous life has a part in your current one. The things that happened before exist in memories that are in your unconscious and need a bit of prodding to come to the top.

Mere knowledge of past life experiences add up to nothing. The knowledge gained thus, must be put to practical use in the present life for better results.

The objective is to arrange your subconscious mind to freely allow your current conscious mind to accept the notion that it must accept the idea that past life understanding is good for you. That’s the first step and since it’s an important one using the services of a PLR expert is recommended.

Some people however, for various reasons find it impossible to believe in reincarnation. However Past Life Regression can be of immense help in either changing your life for good or helping in avoidance of commission of big mistakes in present life even if you think that all the events you remember are merely the results of a fertile imagination.

Whatever you believe, the experts still advise you to go through Past Life Regression because of two reasons.

*If you benefit from the lessons of such events by applying them to the present life, then these were indeed, the past life experiences.

*You may believe that everything you remember is an active imagination, and that is okay. You can still experience a release that frees your mind; this could allow the creative process to flow and lead to health and success.

Exactly what are all the benefits to a past life regression session?

*Past life, traumas can wreck pain and destruction in your present life, this will heal that.

*Your decision making and clarity will be much enhanced.

*Remember your mistakes and then learn from them. We often learn from the mistakes we have made in this life but by then it is too late. If you were exceptionally cruel in a past life, you can change that in this life.

*You learn from past mistakes and don’t repeat them ever again

*Opening windows into the past opens up doors for future benefit.

Past Life Regression is certainly a win-win proposition for believers and disbelievers. If you want to make a positive change in your present life, it is definitely worth trying!

How psychic powers actually work and why certain people are blessed with them while others seem to have no extraordinary senses at all remains a mystery. Even psychics themselves will often openly admit they are not sure why they have their powers, where they came from, or why they have the abilities over everyone else. Other psychics have developed there powers over time with different kinds of psychic training.

Most psychics have some form of ESP, or extra sensory perception. This simply means they see or somehow know things about the past, present, and future that most other people have no way of knowing.

While no one knows exactly how many people have psychic abilities, it stands to reason that their numbers are extremely small. This may have something to do with the fact that most psychics have never had any kind of psychic training, and therefore they are not truly aware of their gifts. Sure, they may occasionally realize that they are a bit different or that they have special insights they often dismissed as intuition, but they would never dream of calling themselves psychics.

Of course, there are even people who have absolutely no psychic powers but who put on the act in order to make a living. Some do readings over the phone or Internet while others read tarot cards for a living. Most people who go in for these readings are doing it in good humor, though some may really believe in a particular psychic’s abilities.

That is not to say that everyone who calls themselves a psychic is just an actress. There are some true psychics who do very important things in our society. They help look for missing children and have been known to give valuable clues to law enforcement. Some of their leads have lead to the arrest of criminals or to solving difficult cases.

What about you? Do you have psychic powers? Before you smile and shake your head, you should know that there are many respected psychics who believe that everyone is born with psychic abilities. But because they refuse to open themselves up to the possibility, or they have not received psychic training, they will never learn to use this most human of gifts.

You don’t have to do amazing, extraordinary things to become a psychic. It’s true that with a bit of psychic training anyone who really wants to develop their natural skills can do so.

For anyone interested in psychic training, the first step is to clear the mind of anything negative. You want to do deep meditation, stretching, and other forms of relaxation and train the mind to focus on positive things, removing the negative thoughts and attitudes prior to beginning psychic training.

Psychic training requires a free mind and the negativity, stress, and fearful thoughts that most people harbor can stand in the way of powers really developing. This is why it is important to start practicing meditation and other forms of deep relaxation.

On a typical day, most people involved with psychic training will strive to spend about a half hour, sometimes longer, in serious meditation. This can take place in a quite place of the home, in a local park or other natural environment, or anywhere else the person finds relaxing and peaceful.

Since this is the first and most important step of psychic training, you must be diligent and perform these meditation sessions each and every day. If you take a break from your sessions, you will quickly discover that most of the progress you have made has vanished into thin air.

Breathing in a deep, controlled manner is the most beneficial part of meditation for a psychic-in-training. While controlling the breath, the student will become freer in releasing pent up negative energy.

It is important to note that when it comes to psychic training there is not set schedule or timetable-it is a personal journey. Only when you feel that you are ready should you move on to the next step.

Once meditation has become a way of life, a psychic student will start learning to hone their skills by reading tarot cards. This is the primary tool of a psychic and will help the budding psychic progress.

The most exciting part of becoming a psychic and developing power is the ability to do tarot card readings on family members and friends. Most developing psychics use this as a pleasurable pastime and do not charge fees.

A psychic has the ability to tap in to vibrations from the future, the present, and the past by simply holding on to an object or entering a space that has higher than normal psychic vibrations. They may even be able to speak to the deceased people that are present in the room at the time. Developing the five senses and becoming more in tune to your psychic tendencies can be achieved by using a psychic test.

Of the many that are available, the easiest psychic test involves using a few decks of psychic cards. As you look through the cards you will see symbols, colors, numbers, faces, animals, and geometrical shapes. If you want to test how well you can predict things that will happen in the future, mix the cards up very well by shuffling them and then put them in a pile right in the front of you. Place your hand on the top of the desk and focus all of your energy on what animal, color or other item that may be on the card.

Avoid trying to rush and force the answer. Instead, slow down and relax your mind. Images or words may filter into your mind, giving you a clue to what the card on top of the deck is. Guess your answer out loud before turning over the card and try out a few trials first before you start keeping score. Being able to guess more than half of the cards correctly indicates undeveloped psychic talents that should be explored.

To focus on seeing into the past there is another fairly easy test that you can perform but you will need to have someone that is willing to volunteer as an assistant. Find a family member or friend that you do not already know a great deal about their past and ask them if you can give them a free reading. You will be working on your psychic intuition and will need it to be able to provide results that are accurate.

The ability to look directly into the subject’s life and give them conclusions about themselves is called psychic intuition. It also has a lot to do with being able to predict events that are going to happen in the future. You might already have these feelings a lot of the time. Have you ever had a knock on the door and knew exactly who it was before you answered it? What about having a feeling that someone that you care about has been injured in some way and then got a phone call confirming the worst was true?

Reading a person’s psychic aura is a great way to begin to develop your intuition. An aura is a field of energy or a life force that surrounds every person and looks like an ethereal light. A person’s health, their mood, and even their personality can be easily detected by their aura. Someone with psychic abilities can feel and see the auras that surround a person.

Have you ever had to stand in a very long line and you can just feel the tension that is coming from someone that is in front or behind you that tells you that they are very angry about being in the line? Maybe you have had the uncomfortable experience of entering a room after a fight has just occurred and feeling the awkwardness in the room. These are both examples of someone being able to sense auras. You can test your sensitivity to an aura by giving someone a reading and holding on to their hand as you play soft music in the back ground.

Close your eyes and allow the music to help you feel the vibrations. All colors vibrate on their own unique frequency and as you feel these vibrations, expect to feel emotions coming from the other person. Open your eyes after a few minutes and try to see the aura of the person. They should be sitting directly in front of you, use soft natural lights or candles and a white background in the room to help conduct this psychic test.

Gaze gently instead of staring hard, you don’t want to strain your eyes. Focus on one spot on the person, such as the forehead and stare for at least 30 seconds without looking away. The area around the person should begin to get brighter and you should be able to see their aura appear.

Although you are giving a reading to the person, if you can get them to participate your results may be much better. They do not need to sit quietly while you are doing the reading. You should begin by asking them very simple questions such as what their first and last name is and what kind of things they are hoping to achieve from the reading. The answers will help you to understand the visions that will receive.

Your psychic level can be understood and increased through the use of a psychic test. If you test yourself on a regular basis your abilities will strengthen and you will soon be able to perform the tests without even trying. Your psychic abilities will finally be realized.
