card readings et al

I can't prove where the information is coming from. The usefulness? That's tangible/provable.

I asked my question based on what you wrote earlier. I had asked for experiences from practitioners and receivers but you didn't say if you were either of them....

OK I accept that you don't feel that the source of information etc is relevant but I hope you'll allow me to judge that for myself, as presumably you would for your querent? Your personal opinions would help me to reach a better-balanced judgment - I'm not looking for proof.

You say the benefit's tangible and provable and that I'm not doubting. I just wanted to know what the benefit(s) might be....

I don't think One process alone governed my readings, rather many forces were at work in their production.

thank you

I also always ground myself before beginning and put love into the cards.
I believe they are a nice tool to help you look into the future or an aspect of your current self that may be helpful to the person I am reading for.

You mention guides - can you enlarge please?

When I first got my cards I channeled my energy into them so they would be attuned with my energy so that when I do readings it is out of my own power. And so far they have never proven me wrong. When I've done readings on some close friends the reading was never very far off from the truth. So I trust in my readings whenever I do them.

OK I'm not doubting what you achieve but I said ".... I'd like to hear what practitioners feel they are doing, the source of any information acquired."

Could you address those aspects for me please?

I don't feel like I'm doing anything special. I don't ask my guardian for help, nor do I ask the querent's guardian. It is something difficult to describe. The best way I feel I can describe it is saying I am the source of information. I know nothing about what I am doing the reading on except what it is the querent wants to know. It is my own power in how I shuffle that decides what is read.

Do you feel, then, the information is already within you, that you are its source?

Have you ever wondered if 'information' comes from anywhere else....?

Spirit guides, who along with angels come from a place of love, who come from the Divine or Higher power.

Hi Mac

I have cards ..and I don't use a book ( i find they are a tool to aid another in healing) sometimes a card literally changes depending on who it is for !

I call in the highest purest source of love and light and ask for no ego..this takes few seconds .

Cards ..balls .. candles ..a hand..etc are all rituals we can use as humans.

Same as holding a ring or watch.

Staring in eyes is interesting

Sometimes things are nice to be left mysterious IMO.

The connection is the most important and seeing out a clean window so to speak.

Trust & patience ( asking Helps 100 %) .

all the best on yr path
:)

And their role in connection with the reading process would be.....?
