Seeing Pictures In the Aura

We have all seen psychics in movies saying such things as "I see a picture of you in a boat going down a very fast river, but you've lost your oars."  Or "I see a picture of your three brothers standing in front of you and blocking your view."  These "pictures" are bits of energy that people can see using their clairvoyance (French for "clear seeing).  Your thoughts and memories are also bits of energy that can be perceived clairvoyantly. Being able to perceive these pictures is a psychic skill that we are all born with.

Before you learned how to talk, you were able to see pictures.  In addition to this, you were able to create pictures to communicate back with other people.  Dogs and cats communicate with pictures also. They may understand a few of the words you say to them, but mostly they see the pictures, and they feel the energy of how you are saying them.  Once when my cat was pestering me for some food, I said to her, "Go bother Peri (my husband)."  She promptly jumped down, went across the room and jumped up on Peri's lap.  She understood what I meant by seeing the pictures I was showing her.

When children are learning how to read, they start with picture books.  In the very first books, there is very little text and the pictures tell the story.  This is because the children already know how to “read the pictures.” Just as they know how to read the pictures in your aura.  As they make the transition to learning how to read, the books contain fewer pictures and more text.  Then they can read the text really well and don’t need the pictures.  This is about the time that many of them start closing down their ability to read pictures in the aura. 

When you are unconsciously perceiving someone's pictures, then you might react to them negatively with judgement.  You may not even be able to put your finger on exactly what is bothering you about that person.  When you are conscious of the person's pictures, then it is easier to be neutral and compassionate: "Hmmm, this is interesting.  I remind that person of his brother, that's why he's acting strangely towards me."

Here is an exercise for practicing seeing pictures.  Sit across from a friend in straight-back chairs with your feet flat on the floor.  Close your eyes and take a deep breath.  Ground your body energetically by sending a beam of energy down to the center of the earth.  Visualize a movie screen about a foot or two in front of your face.  Have your friend focus on and say the name of another person whom (s)he knows, but whom you do not know.  Just intend for information about that other person to show up as pictures on your screen.  You might see pictures of how the person looks, or pictures about that person's talents, challenges or attitudes.  Take turns with your friend, focusing different on different friends.  You might just surprise each other with what you can see.  It's cheaper than going to a movie!

Tarot the Intuitive Way

The seventy-eight cards of the tarot are very rich in symbology and can provide deep insights to your inner world. You may think that it would be a daunting task to memorize the meanings of the cards, and how the meanings are influenced by the cards that surround them in a spread. But you can learn how to read the cards without having to do a lot of memorization!  Just memorizing the cards results in stilted, impersonal readings. Instead, you can discover what each card means to you; and you will learn how to use your intuition to read them.  By combining personal relevance and your inner intuition, the readings you do will be more intimate and personal. 

The best way to derive meanings from the cards is to read several books by different authors.  Each author has a different philosophy about tarot in general, and a different perspective of each card.  There are several methodologies that have been used to derive meanings from the cards: numerology, Jewish mysticism (kabalah), astrology and the tale of the hero's journey.  You can decide which of these methods resonates the most.  By using some elements from each of these methods, you'll be able to provide deeper readings.  It's like "priming the pump."  You absorb the information about the cards, and when it comes time to read, you just relax, clear the communication lines between you and your client, and then use your intuition to give him or her the information that they are seeking. 

For a beginner, reading tarot cards can be easier than reading the aura. The "pictures" are right there in front of you so there shouldn't be any doubt as there might be doing an aura readings.  Just any three cards displayed together can tell twenty different stories. A ten-card tarot spread can tell a thousand different stories. How do you know which story is the right story?  If you have taken the time to ground your psychic space and clear your  spiritual connection with the client, then the right story will just come to you.  

There is no power in memorizing the card meanings. The power is not in the cards. The power is in you and your intention to be of service.
