So, first up in news in the PTM household: We may have a new family member! I posted about this cutie a couple days ago, but no one has claimed her yet. We were planning to find her a good home, but of course, we’ve gotten attached to her already (we *think* it’s a girl). She’s sweet but can have an attitude, and she has this uncanny knack for making everyone feel like she’s their kitty. Anyway, we’re calling her Cerridwen for now.
Tarot Kitties Newt (below) and Budge are NOT happy at the moment, but we are sure that will change with a little time.
We are back with a card today, and it looks like we might need to pull out a mirror, crystal balls, or a cup of water and see what you can see. Or perhaps find another way to develop your intuition. Whatever you do, have a great day!
SCRYING – Intuition
The keys to effective scrying are being as relaxed as possible, minimizing possible distractions, softening your gaze and allowing.
The enemy of effective scrying is distraction, both from inside and out. Turn off the phone, electric lights anywhere you can see them, any music, and if you are scrying outdoors, take the time to setting into the environment and listen to all the noises so that your mind will not need to break your focus later. It is also vitally important to settle the mind as much as you can.
If you regularly meditate, you may wish to use those techniques or otherwise you can simply shut your eyes and focus on slowing your breath – this is usually very effective. If you have a specific question for the scrying medium, state it up front. Then, when you feel relaxed, turn your focus inward. Imagine pulling your energy within you and then you focus on the third eye point (the chakra point on the center of the forehead, just above the eyebrows) and imagine opening it. Then gaze in a soft unfocused way at your scrying surface and simply allow images to form and observe what present itself to you. Do not engage your rational mind – this is about receiving and not thinking!
Should you pull the Scrying card, I suggest you try it for starters. It also indicates that you may wish to develop your intuition further and not rely solely on the logical part of your mind for all the answers. It takes a balance of logic and imagination and intuition for true wisdom.
