(00:22):
level of self trust and confidence when you're giving readings.

(00:42):

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Reading taro with confidence.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
So I'm going to just dive right in with this
one because it's a really stunny day here and I'm
about to go for a swim, so I want to
just dive in and give you this episode. This is
really about you taking responsibility for what you want in
your life.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
A lot of people will say things like I want
to be more confident when I'm giving readings, but I
don't know how, Or I want to be giving readings
but I don't feel confident yet. Don't put yourself in
a position in any area of your life where you're
sort of wanting something but like doing nothing about it.
That's actually not showing up for yourself powerfully. I want
you to think about, you know, your desire to read
(01:40):
Taro with confidence, your desire to give readings in confident,
magical ways, as being a gift to yourself, okay, and
how you give yourself that gift is by doing something
about it, right, And I'm going to show you very
shortly some practical ways that you can start doing that.
But the reason this is so important, more than ever,
(02:01):
we need people really stepping up, really embracing their natural
gifts and abilities. But most importantly, okay, people at the
back listen, most importantly using your natural gifts and abilities
as well. Okay, we need people stepping up and giving
readings and guidance and empowering people.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
We need to be empowering each other, and by giving
taro and intuitive readings, you're doing that. You're sharing your
gifts with each other. But you're also empowering people to
make positive changes in their life, right, And that's what
I teach in depth inside of The Confident Reader Mastermind,
which is a six month program where I teach you
how to read tarot with confidence, how to develop your
(02:41):
natural skills and gifts and abilities, and also how to
give magical readings, how to understand the cards and the
symbols on them, how to use the cards in magical ways,
but most importantly, how to get really comfortable and confident
when giving a reading. So check out the links in
the show notes if you'd like any more information course
also reach out for me. Reach out to me as well,
(03:04):
because we are reopening for enrollment. But let's just dive
in here. So you've got a desire to be more
confident with giving tarot and intuitive readings, the first piece
I have for you is set the intention. Okay, really,
the power of your intention is so incredibly I would
say underrated. Right, Everything in life starts with the power
(03:24):
of your intention.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
So do that now. Just take a beautiful deep breath.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
If you're comfortable doing so, you can put your hand
on your heart, or just do this in your mind
and just say, it's my divine and powerful intention right
now to step into my power with my gifts and
really show up for myself, deepening my confidence and my
self trust. And so it is, and then you've already started.
Once you set the intention, you've already started. Okay, the
(03:50):
next is a practical piece. And this is like point
one that was kind of a I guess a preface,
So point one is kind of practical, right, but prepare
you know? I use this example a lot in my
workshops inside the Confident Reading Mastermind. Think about the singers
and the athletes that you watch on TV. Right, the
pop stars, even the actors.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Actors do not just turn up on set having not
rehearse their lines.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Singers don't just get up on stage and go, I
hope I remember the songs or I hope I remember
the dance moves. Athletes are not just turning up having
not prepared. So why should this be any different?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
This is about you setting yourself up the success, and
it's also about you kind of giving yourself, giving yourself
the gift of allowing yourself to be successful at this.
Too many people, to put it bluntly, aren't actually doing
anything about their goals. But they'll go, oh, i'd love that. Well,
if you'd love it, do something about it. And this
is a beautiful way for you to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
So prepare. There's two parts of this.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
One is prepared by actively learning and growing by studying.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
By practicing right.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Huge piece in the Confident Reader Mastermind, for example, we
actively do that. I teach you about the cards, I
teach you how to read them. I teach you methods
and techniques. Plus you get you know, accountability exercises, you
get homework, you get assignments to do at your own pace,
but also to keep you connected and moving forward. The
other piece here that's really important is preparing for a reading. Okay,
(05:23):
preparing for a reading. Now. I have a few methods
that I teach inside the Confident Reader Mastermind. They're all
really around you sort of centering yourself, connecting to your intuition,
setting the intention, and making sure that your space is
set up in a way that powerfully supports you. You know,
you'd be amazed how many people will tell me they
don't really have a set up ritual or preparing for
(05:45):
a reading ritual. They just kind of maybe take a
quick breath or grab their cards and dive in. That
that's just really not the same as actually having a
beautiful ritual that you do before you log onto that session,
or maybe you see people in person. But a few
things you can do here to help you. One is
to keep yourself in your space nice and energetically clean,
(06:06):
have some beautiful crystals around you, make sure you won't.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Be disturbed, seriously, make sure you be disturbed.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Make sure your Wi Fi is nice and strong if
you're doing online readings, and make sure you're somewhere with
minimal noise and distractions. The last thing you want to
be doing is like in the middle of a reading
and suddenly if someone walks into the room or there's
loads of noise or whatever. Of course, these things can
sometimes just happen, but you know, you want to prepare
as much as you can, and then as the reader,
(06:34):
what you want to do is set your intention. You know,
may I connect to the right messages for this client,
and may I connect to the right May they connect
to the right cards that they need, and then you
can take a beautiful breath. You can connect to your guides.
You can set the intention that your guides are with
you and call on whatever is sacred to you as well.
The more you start preparing for your readings, I promise you,
(06:55):
I promise you, the difference is incredible. The next is
a kind of in session or an in reading practical
tip as well.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Pause. Pause.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
A lot of people will take a card out in
a reading and they feel like they immediately need to
jump in and read the card or share what it means,
or they need to quickly come up with something. You
don't need to do that to all. Give yourself space
and grace. Take a beautiful breath and pause. When you
turn that next card over for your client, you know,
(07:29):
remind yourself pause and breathe, look at the card, and
then you read the card, and you of course share
any messages that you get. But you know, resist the
urge to rush to try and be quick or come
up with something you know quickly. You don't need to
do that. Give yourself grace and space pause, Okay, And
(07:50):
the same thing with answering questions or sharing intuitive messages.
Give yourself that space to sort of tap into your
intuition and notice what's coming to you. The next is
really again a very practical piece, but very very important,
And this is something that I've just recorded a bonus
training on for students inside the Confident Reader Mastermind. One
(08:12):
of the bonuses that you get when you join the
program is regular bonus training.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Sessions as well.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
They're all pre recorded to suit your lifestyle and schedule,
so you can listen to them whenever you need to.
But you get this beautiful library of bonus trainings that
get released as well. But the strategy I want to
share with you is get to know the cards in
a practical way. The first time that you're reading a
card should not be in a session with a client, right,
(08:39):
It should not be in a session with a client.
You should get to know all of those cards really,
really well by practicing reading them, by studying them, by
learning about them. The more confidence that you have in
your competence, right, how competent you are about the cards
and about Tarow, the more you're going to be giving
readings with that confidence as well. Added here a piece
(09:01):
that is really important. Everybody I speak to, all of
my students, all have at least a few cards they're
quote not comfortable with, they don't like the card, they're
not comfortable with it, they don't know how to read
it in a reading. I want you to actively make
a point of getting to know those cards, okay, spending
(09:21):
time with those cards, deliberately practicing reading them, looking at
the symbols, practicing using women readings, sharing different meanings and
angles that that card brings to a reading and a
session as well. Because again, the more that you do this,
the more confident you'll be in your abilities, and.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Also the more practice you'll have.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
So when that card does come up, you've already kind
of got that stuff rehearse, You've already got that relationship
with that card, and that will give you a whole
new level of confidence and magic with your readings as well.
You know, you don't want to be in a situation
where giving a reading to a client and a card
that you don't like comes up, or a card that
you aren't confident with you know how to read comes up,
(10:04):
and then you're umming and ring and like getting awkward.
Last week, we had a beautiful group session inside the
Confident Reader Mastermind on Zoom and half of the session
was just me showing the group how to reframe negative cards.
I went through some of the most negative cards in
the deck, or the cards that have thought of this
negative I should say, and I showed them how to
(10:25):
use those cards in empowering ways. So when you join
the program, you also get access to all those trainings
as well. But that's just an example of what I mean, like,
don't be afraid of the cards, don't be worried about
what ones might come up. Actively practice getting to know
the cards that you're uncomfortable with. Next piece is one
I've shared many many times on here and in many
(10:48):
a Confident Reader Mastermind session, and it is use your
natural gifts and abilities. Remember, you are the magic in
that reading. You know, Tarot cards are magical, powerful tool,
but without your magic, they are just the deck of cards. Okay,
you are the magic that brings that reading to life.
So use your natural gifts and abilities when you're reading
(11:10):
the cards. Yes, of course you share what the card means,
you share the symbols, you share all that magic, but
use your natural gifts and abilities. What are you sensing,
what are you seeing, what are you feeling, and what
are you knowing? One card can often trigger a number
of other psychic senses for you. You might in the reading
(11:30):
also be getting intuitive messages or downloads that maybe are
triggered by the card or maybe they're not. Share those
as well. Okay, share those as well. And the more
that you share those, the more that you develop those again,
the more confident you'll be in your readings and your
clients will absolutely love it. Inside the Confident Reader Mastermind,
we do a lot of work on honoring your natural gifts,
(11:53):
getting clear on what they are, and also developing them
as well. It's a real game changer to how you
give readings. The next and final one here is actually
perfectly connected to the last point, and it's also a
little bit of a joke with my students in Confident
Reader Mastermind, and it's JSTM. Just share the message, seriously,
(12:13):
Just share the message.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
And what this.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Means is stop overthinking it. Okay, don't worry about trying
to impress your client or not offending them, or you know,
wanting them to think you're already gifted or worrying that
you might get it wrong or any of that stuff. Okay,
one of the biggest things that will hold you back,
not just in entarro or intuitive reading actually, but in
many things is sort of this like people pleasing energy
(12:39):
of thinking I'm getting this intuitive message, but I don't
want to get it wrong, and then they think I'm
not gifted, or I don't want.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
To say this and they get offended.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Or I'm getting this intuitive hit but I don't want
it to be wrong, and then what if I say it.
Don't do that. Just share the message. I'll give you
two practical pieces. Don't make it about you and like
your opinion. So don't say I think that blah blah blah.
You can say I'm being shown or I'm seeing that's
(13:10):
very different than I think or I know. Don't make
absolute statements. Nothing in life is absolute, right, especially you know,
not with people that you're doing readings for. So you
don't want to be saying things like this will definitely
happen or that definitely means this. You want to say,
I am being shown or I'm seeing or I'm feeling
(13:31):
or a message I'm receiving is But most importantly, just
share the message. You know, very often in a reading, yes,
it's lovely when the client goes, wow, that's so amazing.
That definitely means this, and that resonates, right, that's lovely.
But very very often what will happen is a client
might go away and think about it and it'll make
sense then, or a few days or weeks, or even
(13:53):
months later, or even years later, it'll make sense. I've
had people come back months and years later and say,
do you remember when you said this to me in
a reading? This just happened. I can think of a
client of mine. It was a few months ago, she said,
do you remember when you kept getting a message about
me having a book deal with a certain publisher. She's like,
(14:16):
I'm now published by them. So my point there is
like at the time I didn't really understand the message,
but it's not mine to understand. And I want to
tell you that as well. The messages you receive for
your client are not yours to understand. They're your clients.
So just share the message and do so with confidence
and self trust and grace, grace for yourself and of
(14:36):
course grace for your client as well. I want to
wrap this up with another little bonus, use the power
of your intention in the reading as well. A teach
this a lot in The Confident Reader Mastermind, plus a
lot of other techniques for giving magical readings.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Use the power of your intention.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Just say to your client, you know, let's set the
intention together that you connect with the cards that you
most need, that you get what you most need from
this reading.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Then you're taking the pressure off of yourself.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And you're bringing in the magic of intention, and that's
what really creates space for the reading to be magical
as well. I hope this was helpful for you. Think
about how you can use this or use these techniques
moving forward with your readings, and understand that if you're
feeling called to build your confidence with giving readings, build
your self trust and really take yourself seriously as a reader,
(15:27):
there are many options available for you, one of which,
of course, is coming into the Confident Reader Mastermind. All
