Card Readings
First of all when I'm doing card readings I generally only do 3 cards,I can do more but find that for general reading the 3 cards are best, as this in its self can take anything from 30 minuets to 60 minuets. To start of I give my cards a shuffle keeping the person's name I'm reading for in my min concentrating on it, not any particular amount of time just until I feel I have shuffled enough. I then take the first card on top of that pile and place it to the side, this is card one most of the time I take this as the past but not always sometimes I will just give it as a general of their surrounding situation. Then go back to shuffling the cards again and repeat the process allowing them to choose a pile the second card will be present depending on the reading and for a third time I go back shuffle and repeat the process this will be the guidance card. When starting a reading I will look at the first card whether it has pictures, words or both if there are words on the card I will tell the person what the card says and then carry on with the reading. Allowing the pictures and words to tell me a story, generally there is something in the card that will stand out at me and I will be able to interpretation it as to why the card is of importance. Allowing every part of the card to take me to where I need to go giving the person my feelings, emotions, pictures that come to mind etc. So on with each card as I say this may take from 30 minuets to 60 minuets. Sometimes when doing readings I get a picture of people like old photos or new photos, black and white or colour like wise I get moving film like old ciné film or just moving picture also black and white or colour. I relay what I see in my mind to the person asking that they only give me yes no or maybe answers, If the can take the info that's given I wish them only to say this so that I do not feed from their answers this is important because it's very easy for them to give me insight into what I need to know if they say more than a simple yes or no. I always ask if I'm completely wrong and they can't take the info given to tell me as I will regroup go back to the card and see if I can get more inf from looking at it again.
Psychic readings
Psychic Readings When doing a psychic reading this could start with many things I may get a song, colour,word, rhyme, pictures moving film, smell etc in my mind and I will then relay them to the person I'm doing a reading for. Very much the same way I do cards I allow these things to take me on a kind of story in my mind. I will relay my feelings motions etc to them and let it flow from their. Again asking the person to only say yes no or maybe answers if they wish to answer at all. I never try to push things say what I get and give it never trying to make it more or less than it is, if I get a person standing on their head I will say this and describe the person I see. It's always best to give what I get straight away and never second guess why or what it is, this ensures I am giving the most accurate info I get with the reading. I have done many card and psychic readings they are basically the same but cards etc are tools and are only to help with the connection to make you feel comfortable with the info you receive cards are not always necessary when doing readings .
IChing Card Readings
IChing Readings Doing my iching cards I place the 8 trigram cards on the board in a circle the cards are heaven, lake, fire, thunder all these are yang cards, the masculine, father, powerful and strong, then you have wind, water, mountain, and earth all yin cards feminine, weaker, mother, nurturing cards. These are shuffled around on the board in no particular structure then placed back in their spot, and one is chosen at random this is done 4 times giving you the next cards. 2 cards together make a bond and come together making what is known as a hexagram and allows you to look deeper into the meanings. Each trigram has its own meaning and put together with another you make more of a story from it. Each of the cards have lines yang lines and yin lines each hexagram has 6 lines. Yang line is unbroken yin is broken they are read from bottom to top in each card. I Ching is a book of wisdom a chines bible if you wish, it has been used for many thousands of years but the very first scriptures where mostly lots in translation I belive. When I have taken all 4 combinations and made 4 hexagrams I will then read what the book says and after that I will add my own feelings to it . This isn't a quick process it can take time doing this but it is quicker than doing the reading with the coins .
