Okay, so I’ve been feeling a little disconnected lately, spiritually speaking. You know, like I’m just going through the motions. So, I decided to try something I’ve been curious about for a while: tarot readings, specifically to see if they could help me boost my spiritual connection.
Getting Started
First, I got myself a deck. I didn’t want anything too fancy, just a basic Rider-Waite deck I picked up at a local bookstore. Then, I spent some time just looking at the cards, getting a feel for the imagery and the general vibe of each one. No pressure, just exploring.
My First Reading
I decided to keep it simple for my first reading. I lit a candle, put on some calming music, and just focused on my intention: to feel more connected to my inner self and the universe. I shuffled the cards, really trying to put my energy into them, then I drew three cards.
- Card 1: The Past – Represented what might have led to my feeling of disconnection.
- Card 2: The Present – Showed me my current spiritual state.
- Card 3: The Future – Gave me some insight into how I could strengthen my connection.
I won’t bore you with all the details, but the cards I drew really resonated with me. The Past card was The Hermit, which, yeah, I’ve been isolating myself a bit. The Present card was The Star, which felt like a glimmer of hope. And the Future card was the Two of Cups, suggesting that connecting with others might be key.
Trying Different Spreads
After that first reading, I started experimenting with different spreads. I found a few online that were specifically designed for spiritual exploration. Some were more complex, with like, ten cards, but I mostly stuck to the simpler ones. I mean, I’m still learning!
Journaling My Progress
One thing I found super helpful was journaling. After each reading, I wrote down the cards I drew, my initial interpretations, and any feelings or insights that came up. It was a great way to track my progress and see how my understanding of the cards was evolving.
The Results?
So, has it worked? Honestly, yeah, I think it has. It’s not like I suddenly had some massive spiritual awakening, but I definitely feel more grounded and connected. The tarot readings have helped me to slow down, to pay attention to my intuition, and to be more mindful of my spiritual needs. It’s like the cards are a little mirror, reflecting back what I need to see. It’s a journey,for sure.
