Many people approach tarot card readers to help them make sense of the relationships they are currently in. A tarot reader will establish with the seeker (client) that the best way they can understand these relationships and change them for the better is to focus on what actions they can take. The conclusion of a relationship Tarot card reading will hopefully be that the seeker feels content and feels like they are in control of the relationships in their life.

One of the best ways to start a good tarot reading is to break it into a separate set of readings that all relate and come to a conclusion that will satisfy the seeker.
A primary reading is a good starting block, where the reader will look at the seeker as an individual and find out about them as a person. They will look at subjects such as what are the seekers strengths and weaknesses? What they look for in relationships? How do they feel about themselves?

Once a primary reading has happened, the seeker can then move onto the individual relationships in their lives depending where their problem lies or they need clarification. In terms of readings about family relationships, seekers after defining themselves will move on to the problems that are currently happening within their family. Dealing with and healing family relationships will often help the seeker feel confident about themselves and deal with other relationships in a better manner. Common questions asked will be things like how do they fit within their family? How do they communicate with their family?

Probably the most common relationship type that is dealt with in readings is romantic ones. Often people want clarification in the direction their relationship is going, so a reader will look at subjects such as: what does the seeker want from the relationship? What are their long term goals? What do they bring to the relationship?

Other common relationship types that are dealt with in tarot readings are friendships and work based relationships. But no matter what type of relationship the reading concerns, there are some common denominators such as communication, agendas and ego. Using Tarot cards, both the seeker and reader can draw on the universal energy to help provide insight on resolving issues.

If the nearest psychic to where you lived wasn't very good, you would either have to put up with it or travel great distances. The modern way of psychic readings allows clients to have access to some of the best psychics in the country and even the world thanks to cheaper international rates all from the comfort of their own home. Being in a relaxed comfortable environment can often lead to much clearer readings, thanks to the client being at ease.

Some people may find the notion of having a reading conducted over the phone off-putting as it is a very different experience to having a reading one on one. But the truth is true psychics can conduct a reading from great distances and achieve just as clear readings as a one on one. The basis of Psychic readings revolve around ESP, which is extra sensory perception. This is the theory that certain people have an extra sense to their normal five senses, touch, taste, sight, hearing and smell. This sixth sense allows them to receive information without the help of the other five. So during a Psychic Phone reading, the Psychic will use their sixth sense to transcend the normal world which would be the same if the client was in front of them or in a completely different country.

So if you would like some guidance and insight into your life and your future, why not contact a Telephone psychic and have a phone reading. If you are happy with your reading, you can continue to "visit" the same Psychic thanks to most networks having a pin system that allows you to be in contact with your favourite psychic.

Many people who choose to communicate with their angels will own their own set of cards, so they can draw inspiration when needed. But the alternative that many people take is to visit a professional angel card reader.

Using an intuitive reader performing on your behalf, a reading will usually happen in the following way. The reader will gently shuffle the deck of angel cards while channelling you and your question. Using an intuitive nudge, the reader will present the selected card to you. The message on this card will address the question you have asked the angels to answer. If a card falls from the deck while being shuffled, this is a sign that the angel has an important message to pass onto you.

Depending on the reader, they will either pass on the message to leave you to interpret how it relates to you and your question or they may, at your request, provide additional insight into what the messages means.

It is completely up to you how you use the message passed on from the angels. You can either make a decision based upon it or use it to reassure yourself of decisions you have made. Some people will approach a reader with a very specific question or some will have general questions and will be looking to be reassured that their angels are watching over them.

If you need clarification on the message you have been given, don't be afraid to ask further questions to help clarify the answer being passed on by the angels. If a message doesn't appear to make sense immediately, give it time as the message may relate to events that will happen in the near future.

There are various ways to have angel cards readings that include having them via telephone or via e-mail. If you want to have any questions answered by your guardian angels, why not have a professional angel card reading.

A holocaust escapee, she was four years old when her father tossed her over a barbed wire fence into the waiting arms of Swiss soldiers. Just before that fateful event, he looked to the heavens and uttered the words, "Save my daughter and she will always serve you."

Her first view of America was from the deck of the Queen Mary when she was eight years old, passing by the Statue of Liberty, thinking she was holding a magic wand. About 40 years later, after a life that started her in tatters, yet bathed her in riches, Schwartz discovered both her treasure and her destiny as an American, and she became invested as one of only a few hundred female cantors in the United States.

"I am very grateful to have the honor of fulfilling the prophesy my father made in 1944 at the Swiss border when the Nazis were chasing us," said Schwartz, who recounted her story in Tears of Stone and My Deal with God (www.estherleon.com). "It has been a painful, tiring yet inspirational journey in reaching my goal to have a deeper understanding of myself, my purpose in life, in relationship to the world around me. One thing I always hung on to were my father's words of serving, so I 'hung out' with God, asked for guidance, tried to have patience and faith which gave me hope and wisdom to understand that everything is in divine time."

But the road to that destiny wasn't always easy. In fact, it was relentlessly difficult. Her life as an adult began not long after she graduated high school, when - against the advice of her mother - she married the first man she ever kissed.

"I can't imagine why my father and mother locked me up in my bedroom the night of my high school graduation after I told them I was going to get married," she said. "So, I ran away and got married and quickly had two children. We were poor, and ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner. We separated not long after, stranding me as a welfare mom with two children in a roach-infested apartment on the south side of Beverly Hills. There were nights I wish they had kept me locked up even after that night."

After a string of dead-end jobs - and suffering through the unexpected passing of her father in 1973 - the single mother struggled to make ends meet. One night, a well-meaning friend, trying to help her find a new husband, gifted her with a vintage lavender shirt-maker dress and took her to a society party. That night, the husband of the party's host advised her humorously that she had to leave, because her dress was so beautiful, it was stealing his wife's thunder. She proclaimed the dress was for sale, and wound up selling a $45 dress for $500 to the man. The idea that she could get such money simply from selling a dress inspired her, and so she and her brother Sam started a clothing store, House of Cashmere. The store grew to 13 locations, and the two siblings went from rags to riches selling upscale high-end fashions to the rich and famous in Beverly Hills.

Despite their success, Sam took his own life in 1985, and Schwartz began to reach out for something more than material wealth. She found it in the music of her in the sacred, ancient choral sounds she claimed had "become intertwined with my DNA."

In a man's world, she was invested as a Cantor, and began administering to people of all faiths. She founded three storefront spiritual reading rooms for all people, religions and cultures, and in the process created Beth Shirah (House of Song). She tirelessly administers to the sick through her voice, as a volunteer Para-Chaplain at a renowned hospital in Los Angeles. She works to use her music and poetry to bring people into the fold of caring, through nurturing and compassion. Further, she is acting on her dream to bring comfort to others by donating $1 from each sale of her book to support Feed the Children's effort to end world hunger.

"The children are our future, what better way to receive than to give them life through our deepest caring. Their poverty is our poverty, and our shame. We have to listen to their voices of hope."

1. Do: Be prepared and go with a purpose
Before attending your reading, you should take some time and think about what you would like to know about the future. Many psychics find general questions about the future hard to make readings for, as it is too broad and their answers maybe cloudy.
Clearing your mind and thoughts will help give a more accurate reading, as too much wishing and hoping for answers may skew a reading.

2. Do: Provide Feedback
Most psychics will like to hear feedback, especially in regards to accuracy. During a reading if you feel they are heading down the wrong track, you should let them know. You maybe expecting to hear about one subject and the psychic might talk about something else, which is fairly common if they are getting strong readings from another topic. Being clear with your reader on what is going on in your life and what your expectations are will improve the chances of an accurate reading.

3. Do: Choose your timings wisely
Depending on what mood you are in when you go for a reading will affect its outcome. To get a clear general look into the future, you should approach it with a clear head. Having a reading when depressed or during a crisis will steer the reading towards these subjects. Sometimes reading when things are bad, might not be want you want to hear, so prepare yourself or have your reading when things are more settled.

1. Don't: Expect decisions to be made for you
The readings that psychics give can be good guidance, but cannot provide definite answers to very specific questions. Physics are often asked for things like lottery numbers and if they were able to provide such accurate readings of the future, they would be off sunning themselves on a tropical beach.
The information gained from readings should be used to make informed and well thought out decisions yourself. Just how a therapist would not tell you how to live your life, a psychic reading should be used to back up your own feelings and thoughts about the future.

2. Don't: Try to catch the psychic out
Many people who go for psychic readings are often sceptical at first and can try to catch the psychic out by lying about things or not being completely honest. This can often throw a psychic off and mean that your reading will be very inaccurate. The best readings come where you can provide the psychic a bit about your background, so they can spend their time looking at the future rather than re treading the past.

Hopefully these do's and don'ts will help you have a great psychic reading and you will be happy with your future prospects.

"The flip side of placing a high value on human life is the fear of dying," said Enebrad, author of Over the Rainbow Bridge from Book Publishers Network (www.overtherainbowbridge.info), which is the story of Cory's life. "My son, Cory, never looked at that side of the coin. He only saw life, and he envisioned his life as nothing more - and nothing less - than an opportunity to inspire others."

It was Cory's wish that his mother write a book after his passing to help others - patients and families - better deal with the ripple effect of cancer.

"He asked me to write this book to help teach people that death is not the end and that we should not be afraid," she said. "He loved the message in the song ‘The Rose,' especially the lyric ‘those afraid of dying cannot learn to live.' His courage was astounding. His lessons were and are still profound, but his story is not about dying. It is about living your life the best way you can, and sharing your love and courage with others."

Cory also wanted to share his ideas on living life, no matter the circumstances:

• Live like there's no tomorrow, love with all your heart and laugh until your spirit lights up!
• There is an afterlife where our soul/essence/spirit lives on.
• No matter what happens -- choose happiness.
• Helping people helps you to grow as a person.

"Cory was an ‘old soul,' who, even at his early age, knew that life for others would go on after he passed on," his mother said. "Cory's life was about teaching people how to live, to make every moment count and that life is a gift. You can't comprehend those concepts if you fear death. His assignment for me was to help others learn not to fear death so that they could live more fully."

To honor Cory's wish that his story truly help others, 30% of net proceeds from his biography will be donated to Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Western Washington (WWA) and CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation. Enebrad - who is also a certified grief counselor - is the president of Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation (WWA). The all-volunteer group provides a support system and a resource for the families and siblings who are helping with the cancer child's care.

That is not to say that anybody can become a gifted reader. Correctly interpreting the subtle nuances of what the signs are saying is something that can not be mastered in hours, weeks, or even years; a lifetime of dedication and devotion to the study are necessary to truly understand a reading. Some people are not willing to commit to this, or do not possess the mental acuity to understand what it is they are beholding in its fullness.

It is easier to gain experience in some skills than it is for others, and experience, as with any skill, is key. Palmistry and Tarot reading are easier to set up, and so easier to practise. With Tarot reading, there are a finite of possibilities that can occur due to the use of cards. With palmistry, hands are in ready supply. With astrology, however, the heavens can produce an array of dazzling effects, and do so alarmingly often. To understand the true breadth and depth of meaning here is an astounding undertaking.

This is why, since the first instances of fortune-tellers and shamans, it has been something that people devote their life to. The cliché of a village's wise woman or a knowledgeable hermit living in the woods holds true to a degree. A person must devote themselves if they wish to fully understand, even to the expulsion from their lives of all that could distract them.

There are other methods of divining the future which are less practised, or less well-known, nowadays. Readings from tea leaves are often thought of, similar to readings taken from the entrails of an animal. Whether these are based on a learnt skill, or whether the object gives the reader something to focus on whilst their third eye roams, is still a subject of debate. Because of this, the category of reading they fall in to is foggy.

This article should have made clear the reasons that Tarot readings and other skills are separate to abilities such as Aura reading, Psychometry and Distant reading. Hopefully, this information will be of use when choosing the method of divination needed for a specific task.

The first step in understanding which methods rely on clairvoyance and which do not is to understand what that clairvoyance actually is.

A reader with clairvoyance, or psychic ability, will use this extra-sensory perception to ascertain knowledge during a reading. This knowledge can be about a person, a group of people, an object, a place or an event. It is this ability which is made use of during Aura reading, Psychometry, and Distant Reading.

In Aura reading, the psychic's ability gives them awareness of a person's aura. They can observe an aura's size, the intensity or brightness of it, the colours which make up the aura, and the shape of the aura. Every factor says something about the individual's character, and by interpreting these signs the reader can learn things about the individual without any other input.

Distant readings are far simpler to explain. When presented with a question about the future, the psychic will use their ability to gain foresight of the outcome.

Psychometry is different to both Aura reading and Distant reading as it does not look to an individual or to the future, but to the past or the present. Utilising an object that is closely linked to the event in someway (for instance, a wedding ring from a husband suspected of cheating, or the favourite hat of a missing person), the psychic can read the residual energy that is imprinted on it from that person, and determine what they were doing at a specific point in the past, or what they are doing now.

Separate to these, there are readings which do not require the reader to possess psychic ability themselves, but instead rely on an outside force for answers. Examples of these are Tarot reading, Palmistry and Astrology, all of which are learnable and rely on the cards, a person's hands, or the movements of astral bodies for answers.

The difference between the two methods is marked, and getting the right reading for what you require is important. Choose wisely.

Faith in God, faith in yourself, faith in goodness. In his book Signs and Visions Fulfilled from Morris Publishing (www.signsandvisions.com), George tells of the adversity he faced that led to his journey down the path of fervent faith. If you have ever wavered in your faith, Joel George's story will set you on the path to belief. If your faith is strong, you will understand and celebrate his story.

"When you are going through something like I have," George says, "some people do not like to see that you can still smile and have joy and be thankful to the Lord while you are going through your suffering."

George's story captures the relationship between suffering and faith. He was tested in his beliefs in many ways, yet he still held strong to his ideology. From being cheated out of paychecks, to being accused of selling drugs and abducting a young woman, George held fast to his belief in God and was rewarded with happiness and joy in his faith. His relationship with his Pastor and the Elders of his church saw him through many hard times and renewed his faith again and again. Each time he felt like he was falling from grace, he found a sign to reaffirm his faith.

George offers his unique outlook on the Christian religion. He devotes a great deal of space in his book to quote scripture and relate what the passages mean to him, personally.

"I hope that someone doesn't think that I'm trying to persuade them. I am just giving my testimony," he explains.

George expresses his belief that those who suffer become closer to God as a result of their suffering. He is very steadfast in his beliefs, stating that, "When you see the goodness in someone, you see God."

He is also very strong in his belief that forgiveness is a key component to a life of faith.

"You cannot get into heaven with hate in your heart," he says. "You see, if some people would turn down the hate and exercise love, we can overcome. The first thing people should do is learn how to forgive one another."

Joel George's story is the epitome of the saying "patience is a virtue." His suffering lasted over many years, yet with faith and determination, he triumphed over it. A poem written to George by his friend Patricia Sudler - and included in the book - is evidence of the qualities he exemplified to overcome his trials.

"There are wonderful people who give from their hearts in thoughtful and unselfish ways, so willing to share, help out, or be there, no matter how busy their days."

--
Joel George was born in Lancaster, South Carolina and comes from a family with 10 sisters and brothers. His journey that led him to explore his relationship with God began when he fell out of a tree while at work. He hopes that others can take his cue and be open to finding God the way he did - without warning, and with absolute joy.
