Tips and techniques for using oracle cards:
Choose a deck that resonates with you: When using oracle cards, it's important to choose a deck that resonates with you. This means selecting a deck that has artwork, symbols, or themes that appeal to you, and that feels intuitively right for you. Need help? Read the ‘How To Choose An Oracle Deck’ blog post.
Cleanse and energize the deck: Before using your oracle cards, it's important to cleanse and energize the deck. This can involve smudging the cards with sage or other herbs, or holding the deck in your hands and visualizing a white or golden light surrounding and energizing the cards.
Create a sacred space: Another important aspect of using oracle cards is to create a sacred space. This can involve setting aside a quiet, peaceful space where you can use your oracle cards, and creating an atmosphere that is conducive to relaxation and meditation.
Working With The Cards
Clear your mind. Before you begin your reading, take a few deep breaths and clear your mind. This will help you be more open to receiving messages from your guides and the universe.
Focus on your question or intention: When using oracle cards, it's important to focus on your question or intention. This means taking the time to clearly and specifically state the question or issue that you want to explore, and to set an intention for the reading. When you ask a question, focus on it, and draw the cards that resonate with you. This blog post discusses how to ask empowering questions.
Shuffle and choose the cards: After focusing on your question or intention, you can begin to shuffle and choose the cards. This may involve shuffling the deck in a way that feels intuitively right for you, and then choosing the cards that you feel drawn to or that jump out at you.
Trust your instincts. When using oracle cards, it's important to trust your first impression and intuition. The more you practice, the stronger your intuition will become. When you select a card, pay attention to your initial thoughts and feelings, as these will often provide valuable insight.
Reflect on the symbolism. Oracle cards often contain powerful symbols and images that can offer deeper meaning and insight. Take time to reflect on the symbolism of each card and consider how it relates to your question or situation. Most decks come with a guidebook that can provide helpful descriptions when you’re getting to know your deck.
Keep a journal. Keeping a journal of your readings can be a valuable tool for tracking your progress and insights. Write down your questions, the cards you drew, and any thoughts or feelings that came up during the reading.
Using oracle cards can be a powerful tool for enhancing your psychic and intuitive abilities. By following these tips and techniques, you can create a deeper connection with your intuition and receive valuable guidance and insight.
