I've been saying this for a while now and it's starting to really bother me.I know most of everyone knows that I use tarot, lenormand, and oracle cards. I thought it was suppose to help me with intuition and psychic abilities, but to me it seems to block it. Not always, but right now it seems to. I can't get anything with the cards, no images.. nothing, it makes me feel sad. I don't know what happened, but I used to see things. I used to be so happy when I read for others.. I had alot of posts giving free readings, but now that has died down, now I feel that passion is mostly gone. I feel like what's the point of using tools, if I can't feel anything? I don't know if anybody else goes through this, but if so what can I do? I feel like tools is just something that I don't really need, but I use it anyway to be more "accurate". IP: Logged |

I too get like this, when i do i dont read and take a break. Everyone is different though but perhaps you are over tired and over doing it/rushing it. I think reading cards uses your energy and in giving alot of readings in such a short space i think can deplete it fast. So having depleted energy perhaps you can connect cos maybe you're a bit tired? I think in addition you maybe are putting pressure on yourself which doesnt help.I think part of the learning is to know when to have a break as well. I see you do big threads with huge spreads and then at times alot of follow up questions too. That is really generous and i think it's really cool as i think one of the primary purposes is to help others but i guess it can also be very tiring at times as well, especially in such a short space. This is just my own view of course, maybe someone has a differing view point. Maybe try to give a couple of days of not giving or receiving readings then try again. Reading for yourself also uses your energy. Do you enjoy reading? Pls dont quote might edit later IP: Logged |

Thanks for your advice VG.For a few days I kinda been giving readings on and off. Now I do give readings alot and I seem to promise myself that I can do them, then later I end up changing my mind because I would feel overwhelmed. Lately, I feel like when I do read the cards, I get nothing.. I have to just come up with what the cards give me. To me that's not good because then people give me feedback and then I end up getting something wrong.. and that bothers me alot. If I could just try to get the feels of the cards, it would be easier on me, but that never happens. During the beginning of this year I saw images, when I was pulling cards - I saw images. Now it's like, I shut it off.. if that make sense. I love giving readings, but I also try to stay away from my cards.. especially with my mom being around, I can't be around the cards all the time. Though, me getting feedback and then still getting things wrong when I can't even get the feel of the cards, I don't even know what's going on in the situation, it makes me feel pitiful. That's why I had soooo many threads, so many practicing this and that. You know how people say that they feel something, like emotions or etc.. well when I pull now, I don't feel anything.. I feel like I'm just pulling cards and guessing what's going on. Sorry for this long speech, I had to get that out.

Hi ILPSorry you are feeling this way. I feel the problem could be that yes you have been using tools all along not realizing that you are very psychic and not having confidence in your abilities. Sorry I had to say that. I have looking over past readings you have done for me and at times you would interject with your intuition. You were ALWAYS right! Your readings have been highly accurate. Try doing readings without tools. Start off slowly and don't beat yourself up if it's not accurate all the time. Like ANYTHING it will improve with practice. *My health issues are all resolved!

No problem poems. I have never come across one reader who was ever 100% correct, not one. Experienced readers who were doing these for decades also get things wrong. Please dont put pressure on yourself to be right, just go with what you feel and see - let it flow naturally. If it means anything i think you're more accurate than alot of the expensive paid readers. You're incredibally gifted. I do think from what you said you are also perhaps quite tired. If you feel overwhelmed dont read. Perhaps limit the number of people you read for in the threads close it after a certain number, be a little strict on it. Then open it when you feel better. Even when exchanging if you get tired just say you'll be back when you feel a bit better its ok to have a rest. No one should get upset with you. Its up to you on what you do of course but this is just what i would do if i get tired. Pls dnt quote might edit later IP: Logged |

Well I kinda don't have confidence in my self. I really want to be good, but the problem I have with trying to use my intuition is making it really hard. And it's okay, I need to learn more of what I've been doing wrong, and you're right. I do actually try to read too much into the cards.
I'm surprised I have been accurate for you.. even though I don't really believe it lol but I guess that's why you was tagging me because I was good? but anyway thanks, and I think I do still need to practice. Edit: that's good that your issue was resolved. IP: Logged |

VGThanks for the compliment, I appreciate it. But I sometimes feel that it isn't always because I'm tired, I feel that I'm not doing something right, like using my intuition.. I know it's weird to say this but I don't know how to anymore. I also want to say you're a good reader as well. IP: Logged |

Maybe, but i was speaking from my own experience. I also think that you've done so many readings that its become 2nd nature to you so you dont realise that you're using your abilities. because perhaps it is not requiring as much effort. For example, when we were younger, learning how to walk, it was hard, now that we have done it so many times it does not seem so much effort, we just do it without thinking on it. I think perhaps it is the same with your situation. I was told once by a spiritual reader i was born psychic and the reason i didnt realise til i was older was because i was so used to it i didnt know any different.

VG that actually made sense.. Hmm o:I think I know what you're saying. I try so hard to force that I never actually give myself the patience, but I think you're right.. IP: Logged |
