All of you must be wondering on the heading that what tarot has got to do with Reiki, as both are completely different topics. Absolutely true that they are different topics but Reiki can help you in protecting yourself from negative energy vibes of a tarot session and also gives you energy to sit for longer tarot sessions. I will also be sharing with you techniques of using tarot and Reiki to get guidance from higher self and in predicting more accurately.

I have been a tarot reader for 12 years now and when I newly started reading cards I used to get tired very often and at times absorb the negative energies the readings are emitting not being aware of it and used to take rest for days after a tarot event.  After I learnt Reiki I tried giving Reiki before a tarot and found amazing results following which i did a lot of research on how to combine Reiki and tarot. Today I will be sharing with you some beautiful tips and student issues which have been solved by this amazing combo.

Steps to be taken before beginning a Tarot Session:

• Before starting your tarot sessions always do grounding. It is a technique to expand your aura (energy field), which strengthens the connection to earth. To do grounding first close your eyes and take three deep breaths to relax your body. With intent, visualize roots (like a tree) spreading from the base of your spine and foot chakras to the centre core of the earth. Feel the energy passing through your foot chakras to all the chakras of your body and know that you are fully grounded.
• After grounding do a protection or shielding which will help you in being protected and avoid absorbing of unwanted energies during a session. For Protection I follow two ways one through Reiki symbols and one through colors. For shielding through Reiki first Take a deep breath and Make a request to Reiki:

“Dear Reiki, please form a protective shield of your energy around me. Thank you”

After saying this, visualize a stream of Reiki moving around you in circular movements and forming an energy shield starting from the top of your head and reaching your feet. Visualize the symbols Sei He Ki and Cho Ku Rei moving in the shield.

• Where ever you are sitting for your tarot session be it near your altar table or at an event imagine drawing the anthakarna symbol below your chair and then sit there as this symbol will keep giving you energies when you feel depleted assisting you to be full of energy when you sit for longer sessions during tarot events.

Steps to use Reiki in getting guidance during your reading sessions for yourself and others:

I have used the following steps and seen amazing results when I wanted guidance for myself and also for many of my clients for their progress and guidance for their issues of daily life. Follow these steps and see amazing results:

• When you want guidance for yourself over some certain issues or troubles pertaining in your lives just sit in a place where you will not be disturbed and relax and connect with your cards through HSZSN ( Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen ) and call on your angels and Reiki to give you an insight on how to solve the crisis pertaining in your life and start putting your cards and you will feel the cards giving you an amazing guidance of what needs to be done to overcome the current crisis in life.
• While doing reading for clients connect with the cards with HSZSN and give your cards SHK so that they show you the truth behind every situation along with guidance on how to solve it. Sometimes cards share the bitter truth to us without solutions so when we give SHK ( Sei He Ki  ) and see you will feel for every problem the card is giving a guidance of ways to come out of it.
• When you have some financial issues or any other issues take one of the major arcana cards pertaining to your issue and connect with it through HSZSN and give yourself and the cards SHK and keep it under your pillow every night when you go to sleep and you will see insights in your dream on how to come out of the crisis. Keep doing this till the issue is solved.
• One lovely tip I would like to share here if you want to come out of financial mess in your life than take three cards pertaining to finances and keep them in your altar and surround them with green colored crystals and a green candle and give Reiki to the cards and crystals and candles and visualize coming out of the situation and thank Reiki for helping you come out of it and burn this candle daily for seven days you will see some changes in your finances soon.

Try the above methods and see yourself getting connected with your cards effortlessly and also not getting tired at the end of sessions and find yourself sitting for hours in tarot events without feeling low. Reiki blessings to you all.
