In my last post I talked a little about the “aha”! I got so many years ago after seeing Tarot cards in a totally different light than the gypsy fortune-teller image most people have.
Do you remember how I dug my cards out of storage after I first made the connection between the painting in the Smithsonian, my dream, and that one card I told you about
?
Since my perspective on Tarot cards had changed significantly after that experience I decided to try again. So I got a permanent marker and blacked out every single word on each card and boxed up the books. I began by pulling one card and would just sit quietly looking at it and let my imagination fly.
What was the story in the card? What was happening; what was the mood? I studied the main character in the card and wondered, “what is he/she thinking? The most important question I asked myself was, how did it make me feel? I found an even more important question was, why? Where had I felt like that before? I began making associations to choices and decisions I had made in my life and saw how how they influenced those I was making now. With fresh insights I could see things from a different perspective. By combining my imagination and emotions/feelings, I soon realized I was literally exercising and strengthening my intuition. I think intuition is the strongest ‘muscle’ we have even though it is invisible.
I started doing the same thing with art, music, with everything that got my attention for some unexplained reason or another. I realized the Universe, God, Spirit; whatever you call the Higher Power that surrounds us all, was whispering to me as it does to everyone. All we have to do is listen.

I like the ease you show us in simply allowing ourselves to listen to the feelings we have. Sometimes, the hardest thing is taking time to recognize what those feelings are. Being still … you’re right … the whispers are always there. Thank you for the reminder!
