Tarot Card Meanings They are all over the internet! I am not going to put general tarot card meanings here because I read by my intuition. I hope that doesn't disappoint anyone. But when you use real intuition to read the cards you don't get the same impression with the same card all the time. The symbols mean different things for each individual reading and question. It all depends on how you get the information intuitively. But if you want general meanings of the cards, you can get some of my views on the cards by joining by yahoo group, Tarotforall. The links are on my website, and it is free. If you still want to see general meanings of the cards I suggest a site called Learning the Tarot by Joan Bunning. Her site is a free online tarot course.

Spreads I will show different spreads here as often as possible. The easiest spread is the three card spread because of it's versatality. And this spread can answer any question. For example: you,him,together past,present,future what you want,why you want it, what you get your concious,your subconcious,your spirit guide young,now,older I think you get the picture. You can make these up yourself to fit the question you are asking. I hope this helps all of you. Remember you can make your own spreads. Choice Spread 123 456 7 1-Your situation the cards are focusing on 2-The right path to take 3-The wrong path to take 4-Possible Interference 5-What will help 6-Outcome if right choice made 7-Outcome if wrong choice made This is a good spread to use generally without asking a question. The cards will tell you what you need to pay attention to and how to handle this situation. Solve My Problem 1- Root of my problem 2- Why I am having this problem 3- Who else is involved 4- The simple answer 5- The complicated answer 6- Outcome Linda's Life Plan Spread This spread covers specific questions about who you are and your path. Layout 10 cards in this manner: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 Layout the next ten cards in the same way. Then lastly layout another ten cards again, in the same manner. You should have ten stacks of three cards in front of you. First-Who I was before I came to my earthly body? Second-My purpose in this life? Third-Who is the most important person to help carry out my life plan? Fourth-What is escaping my awareness that I should know by now? Fifth-What am I aware of that I need to act on immeditately? Sixth-Am I following the plan chosen for me? Seventh-How do I tap into my inner knowlege? Eighth-How do my spirt guide(s) contact me? Ninth-One thing I can do that will make my path easier. Tenth-Description of the inner me. I hope this spread will help you to think about where you come from and where you are going. We all need to make time to remember we are special and have a special purpose in this life. Blessings, Linda
What is on your mind that the tarot could answer?
What are you waiting for? You know when I first became interested in tarot readings and tarot cards I couldn't find anyone willing to give a free or low cost reading. I didn't have the money and it frustrated me. I've always been intuitive so when I started studying the Tarot I began to see it was a tool for me to further my intuition skills. I vowed that if I started giving tarot readings I would make it available to all people who wanted it, rich or poor.  Blessings To get your free daily card reading, enter your first name in the box below.

Meditation: A Beginner's Guide by Christin Snyder *The material presented in this article is provided for information purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or prevent any illness. In my article “Self-Healing Basics" I briefly discussed meditation and it's important role in whole-being wellness. Meditation has an abundance of benefits, but can appear daunting to newcomers due to the many misconceptions surrounding it. Through this series of articles I will explore the art of meditation in depth- addressing misconceptions, highlighting the benefits, answering frequently asked questions, and also sharing different techniques. I believe very deeply in the power each person has to heal themselves. Meditation is one of several tools I teach to empower others on their quest for spiritual and personal growth. I have found that many who have comitted themselves to developing the practice have reported dramatic results. Many have shared with me an enhanced sense of purpose, reduced stress and anxiety levels, and other life altering changes. There are numerous types and styles of meditation, and with persistence and practice everyone can find one to benefit them. Meditation Myths: There are many misconceptions and generalizations in regards to meditation that unfortunately keep many people from trying it. Before going into all of the benefits and techniques, I feel it is necessary to first address some of these issues. In doing so, I hope to provide a better understanding of just how simple and worthwhile meditation can be. One common misunderstanding surrounding meditation is the belief that it is religious in nature. Although it is incorporated into the religious practice in many traditions, it is not in and of itself, religious in nature. Neither is it reserved to any one faith system. Many people from a variety of cultures and traditions successfully integrate meditation into their lives without conflict. Another commonly held belief is that meditation requires a lot of time to achieve results, however, as I will demonstrate later on, it truly does not require hours of rigid daily practice to be effective. Most of us do have busy lives, and meditation is an act that can be effectively incorporated into any lifestyle. Is it a discipline? yes. It needs to be developed into a routine, much in the same way that walking the dog or going to the market are also established as routines. The benefits will be well worth the few minutes a day invested. Last but not least, is the misconception that the mind must be void of all thoughts for meditation to be effective. The key in meditation is not necessarily to empty the mind, but to gain control of the mind, to know and understand where it travels and why. The main goal of meditation is to know thyself and by learning the hidden motivations and reasons behind our seemingly random thoughts we begin to do just that. The process aids in removing random mind chatter, and streamlining the thought process. If you are paying attention, you will notice that as you read this, your mind has likely churned up several thoughts that have popped up as you have gone along. If you haven't noticed this, you are not alone. Many never really pay attention to just how much noise the mind makes. The simple act of paying attention and noticing is a first stage of a positive meditative practice. Through dedication we learn to sift through the noise and retrieve what is necessary and beneficial to us on our path. We are better able to slow the mind down, which in turn reduces stress and anxiety. Meditation is a practice that costs little to nothing and can benefit anyone willing to put some time and effort into it. It requires no special talents , merely the desire to grow and learn. For those seeking a more fulfilling and rewarding life experience, meditation offers a simple but powerful method to pursue personal and spiritual growth. Throughout the rest of this series I will share answers to common questions, explore the many benefits, and detail some different meditation techniques that can be modified to each persons unique preferences. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Christin Snyder is an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church, a motivational writer/speaker, and holistic health practitioner.
