  Step 4: Incorporate your reading The last step is probably the most important. Take the information and find a way to apply it in your life. This is why I advise you to take notes and ask questions. You have to bring that information back to you, assess it, make any changes that you need to, and assimilate it into your life so that it can help you. If you don’t, you are just getting a reading for the heck of it. Save your money! Do your reading with purpose and apply it with purpose. If the reading says that things are going well and it predicts the outcome you want, then take that to heart and act like it is correct. This is the surest way to cause the outcome you desire. When you act as if the outcome of your situation will be the one that you want it sends a message to the Universe, or to your subconscious (depending on your school of thought, or maybe they are both correct) that you are claiming the outcome. Then, the Universe (your mind) responds by ensuring that the outco

  Step 3: Get the Reading! So, you have found a good reader, and you have formulated a good question. Now comes the fun part: Getting the reading! Now, you may think that this is the simple part.

Remember, the cards (or whatever oracle is being used) is going to be connecting to and referencing your energy. If you are putting out doubt or negative thoughts about the reading or the outcome, that is what it is going to pick up on. Of course, having an expectation of a positive outcome will do the same thing. So, how should you be focused for the reading? You should go in wit

  Step 2: The Question Now we come to one of the most important parts of the reading: Your question. Really, without the question there is no way to control what information you are getting, and it can make it very difficult on the reader. Furthermore, it greatly reduces the opportunity for you to get anything useful out of the reading. It has been said that with the right question, the reading and the answer is obvious. I have found this to be true. So, let’s look at some of the aspects of a good question. First, lets look at the nature of your question. The more specific your question the better. General questions result in general answers, so the more specific your question the better the answers will be. Specific questions can include focusing on one topic, or even focusing on one aspect of that topic. It is generally better to do a couple of focused readings on different aspects than one general reading on a broad topic. The cards, like all magical practices, operate directl
