This has to be the one card in the Tarot deck that most, if not all, people fear seeing in a reading, and yet it isn’t as dark and macabre as one might think, which is why some Tarot readers have named this card ‘Transformation’ in their Tarot decks.

How would you feel if I was to say ‘Oh look, you are about to experience a transformation in your life’? Would you be as spooked as if you simply saw the Death card as your outcome card?

I am in the process of creating the Lotus Tarot deck and I will be naming this card ‘Transformation’ because I believe it portrays the true meaning of this card far better and without evoking the chills that the title ‘Death’ card does.

When the ‘Death’ card appears in a reading, the most common thought is that it is predicting a physical death, that someone is going to die. If not all, in most cases is highly unlikely.

I am not a medium or clairvoyant, but I do use the Tarot card books to help give men and women around the world some insights into their own situations and to look at their lives from a different perspective. Given some examples,any of us can receiveone of the greatest blows is when we fall utterly in love with someone only to be rejected and left alone. Many of you may have had such an experience and it can feel like your world has fallen apart.

Transformational change within us can be created by such incidences,our outlook and our approach to love and relationships are being changed. For example, if someone who didn’t love you, lets you go,a whole new set of circumstances and opportunities are opened up for you.

There have been numerous case histories of people who have been bankrupt and who have lost everything only to change course and tactics and go on to achieve great success.

For me, it is only the sign that it is time for something new to be created whether it be a relationship, job, career or lifestyle. I am free to pursue new love if I am no longer in that relationship. {I'll look for a better job and never give up if i lost my job}.

The tale of the Phoenix sums up the meaning of the Death card quite well, where a bird dies in the flames only to emerge and fly out of the fire transformed into something far greater.

When you choosed the death card,don't be afraid of it. Take it as a sign that something in your life may come to an end. As the end the transition may be challenging and comes to pass a new beginning will present itself.

Here is a quick introduction to subliminal hypnosis - what it is and what it can do for you. There is some confusion as to what this exactly is as subliminal messaging and hypnosis are actually different ways of improving your mind / overcoming problems etc.. First of all here are 2 definitions:

• Hypnosis: Is where someone goes into a a trance like state; a state in which they have a heightened suggestibility and do not have the ability to think logically. In this state access is easily gained to the subconscious mind. This is usually done with hypnotic commands, the tone of your voice and the use of subtle suggestions which ease you into state of trance.
• Subliminal Messaging: Is also a means to access the subconscious mind and bypasses your critical thinking function. Just as hypnotherapy does it too implants suggestions and thoughts into your mind - the main difference being that you won't go into a deep trance, and you will not register each subliminal message as it enters your brain. The normal way of using these subliminal suggestions is by embedding them in music.

So.. just what is subliminal hypnosis?

The term is a little fuzzy and generally means different things to different people.

Officially subliminal hypnosis is where you enter a mini trance state without meaning to i.e. you enter it subliminally. This might sound strange but we are actually consciousl going in and out of mini trance like states - when reading, really focused on writing, riding the bus, day dreaming etc.

It is easy to explain with the example of watching television. We become engrossed in the tv and enter a type of trance. We are unaware of our surroundings to an extent, and if we are particularly engrossed we may not properly register a question we are asked in real life, or there might be a delay in our response.

Also typically tv advertisements are generally louder than the show which you were just watching - this takes you out of your trance, and gets your attention on the advert. Then, with various techniques of music, flashing lights, colours, or by overloading the senses they attempt to put you into another mini trance - if you are only focusing on the advert and in a bit of a trance then the advert will do better.

However, with the increase in popularity of hypnotherapy and subliminals the term is now used to refer to either traditional hypnosis or subliminal messaging. This is not 100% correct, and it is in fact a little misleading.

Hypnosis is such a fascinating and myterious art. If this thought has crossed your mind many times, then why not look into Train For Hypnosis and decode the mystery for yourself? Know first that it is neither you nor any "magic power" at work over the subject. If this idea makes Hypnosis more exciting to you, then learn to assist others in the unlocking of the hidden rooms of their psyche without harming yourself or them.

You are not in control of them, contrary to popular belief. What is actually happening during hypnosis in each session is the person conducting the session is doing nothing more than leading the subject through his or her own journey. You are simply helping them to help themselves. It is really self-hypnosis and you are simply guiding them through each stage in the process.

Now that you understand the gist of all of that, it's time to begin your hypnosis training. There are several ways in which you may learn the art of hypnosis. It is best if you look into any books, magazines, articles, or other material that you possibly can that speaks about hypnosis. There is also lots of great material available online.

Attend the hypnosis training classes in full. You can take these classes in person or by watching a DVD series. Whatever direction you take you just want to get all the information from it so you can become a winner at understanding hypnosis. It will become basic to you if you do it more and more.

As the process of knowledge acquisition develops you will find yourself able and interested in applying your skills. You family and acquaintances provide optimal subjects and you should impress upon them that you require complete frankness on your mutual sessions. In the absence of this feedback there can be no long term improvement in your abilities. However, if you focus on hypnosis training you will soon be making significant progress. Experience will be your critical ally in the process of achieving practical skills, as hypnosis training and lessons provide only the theory and cannot convey the rich experience of practice. It is the application as well as in the training that you will really begin to learn the details that polish your skills.

As you keep on practicing hypnosis, people will start showing interest to learn hypnosis from you. It might take a long time for you to become an expert but you can still teach others about hypnosis.

Hypnosis training also means taking the advice and instruction from those who are already practicing it themselves. This could be a way others might want to learn too. It is important that you make sure you try to stick with the facts so there is not too much confusion for them when they start to learn also.

Hypnosis training can make you feel like it is a lot of information to know, but in the end, it will pay off. The knowledge and understanding you absorb with the training will give you the gift to help many people. In tough situations you can use your training to assist yourself. You might even be able to open your own office when the time is right and you are qualified.

Many people passionately believe that the future can be divined by the positions of the planets and sun and moon. Astrology may not be a science, but it has still proven to be eerily accurate. In this article, we'll uncover how the heavens may impact life here on earth.

Astrology is a group of systems, traditions and beliefs by which astrologers acquire information about a person's personality, strengths and weaknesses. The zodiac is the belt or band of constellations through which the sun, moon and planets transit across the sky. Astrologers noted these constellations and so attached a particular significance to them. The main traditions used by modern astrologers are Western, Chinese and Indian astrology. Indian and Western versions use an astrological chart or horoscope for an event based on the position of the sun, moon and planets at the moment of the event. Indian astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, linking the signs of the zodiac to their original constellations, while Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac.

Practitioners of astrology believe that the positions of the planets affect nearly every aspect of a person's life. Each planet is associated with a sign and a different energy in life. It assigns meaning to each unique time so that we can understand its special significance in our lives and act accordingly. It presumes that a meaningful link exists between exactly when someone is born and the qualities inherent to his personality. Astrologers study our birth charts to gain insight into our potential gifts, challenges, opportunities, internal conflicts and difficult lessons. By using astrology, we can learn more about ourselves and what we may expect during particular periods of time, so we're able to behave more consciously and increase our likelihood of achieving personal satisfaction.

Astrologers gauge timing based on knowledge of how planets act when traveling through the different zodiac signs. This is from where the idea that astrologers can predict the future is derived. The term zodiac denotes an annual cycle of twelve stations along the ecliptic, the apparent path of the sun across the heavens through the constellations that divide the ecliptic into twelve equal zones of celestial longitude. The zodiac is the first known celestial coordinate system. The sign that a person is born under in believed to determine their personality traits. For instance, people born under the astrological sign of Scorpio are believed to be forceful, intuitive and passionate while someone who is a Pisces is supposed to be sensitive, kind and unworldly.

Although astrology prepares us for the future, it does not predict it. The outcome of one's fate is still a matter of choice. Through personal astrology readings, a person can become more intimately acquainted with themselves and, armed with this knowledge, can make better informed decisions about their lives. While it may seem implausible to some people, others truly believe that their destiny can be charted in the heavens.

I constantly face people who come to me wondering why someone else’s predictions didn’t come true for them, or if God was really punishing them. It all boils down to taking responsibility for our own lives as I’ve come to learn down the ages,. Only half the story is offered by the knowledge a tarot reader, numerologist, astrologer or psychic, the other, more vital half resides in all of us as human beings on this planet. Going to someone for predictions means walking out their door applying their insights in a workable way.

Example:

A rather gentle faced 25 year old man came to me for a reading. He looked at me and then at the deck of cards and asked "When will I get a job?"

The Tarot was based on the present moment and the energies that surround him right now, and could not offer him an exact date ,when I mentioned these,he began to raise his voice.He paid my fees by borrowing money. And about when exactly he would get a job, his last hope is tarot.I flip a card. It was hopeless. And another. Bleaker. I had felt strongly that he was waiting for Lady Luck to whisk him away into an air conditioned cubicle in a swank building to come swooping down on him.

That afternoon when he left, in his energies, I noticed a subtle shift. It seems that he is eager to rewrite his resume and contact placement agents. And when he called 2 months later to tell me he had been hired by a MNC I knew he was enroute to success. I wished him well.

The beautiful thing about the planets and the cards is that they can tell us the time is right for us to move in a certain direction or the planetary position is favourable. Our lives can not be ruled by the cards. Nor can they set interviews for us or type out resumes. if we want to get ahead at the end of the day, we have to help ourselves.

This is an introduction to the rising phenomenon of subliminal messages.

As a quick definition subliminal messages are any sound which is transmitted beyond a sound frequency of aprox 20,000 Hz. This is the maximum level of human hearing, so any sounds above this level will not be heard consciously. However your unconscious mind can still interpret and decode these types of messages. It is always working on the edge of your perception and decoding information you are not aware of. You have to facethe fact that there are constantly messages stored in your subconscious mind which you are not full aware of.

Usually these messages are forgotten as they are not needed, but when you receive a lot of the same kind of messages they can build up, they can spill over into your conscious mind, into your reality, and influence your beliefs and even your everyday actions.

But, how exactly can this help?

Well, this is the latest craze – instead of randomly having information entering your mind without you knowing it you can use subliminal cds to send yourself specific information. Information which when it builds up over several days / weeks will have a positive effect on your behaviour.

Subliminal messages can be used to:

help overcome a phobia

help you in increase confidence

help you improve your memory

learn a new language

attract the opposite sex

and much more

It all depends upon the type of messages included in the recording,subliminals can be designed to help almost any area of your life and make deep improvements to your subconscious mind.

They are totally safe, they wouldn'tlead you to act in any sort of negative way. They basically just support your life goals; i.e. if there is something you want to achieve then your subconscious mind will gradually be aligned to match this goal also. If you are not pursuing a goal the messages won't be of much use to you. Just like hypnotherapy you need the change to occur. You always retain a high level of control.

The lines can be blurry, and the term has grown to mean different things to different people.

Officially subliminal hypnosis is where you enter a mini trance state without meaning to i.e. you enter it subliminally. This might sound strange but we are actually consciousl going in and out of mini trance like states - when reading, really focused on writing, riding the bus, day dreaming etc.

A  common example is watching television. We become engrossed in the tv and enter a type of trance.

You'll get seven different answers if ask seven people how to do a reading as with most things on this path.

You will get what you need to know as long as your intent is pure,There is no wrong way to do a reading.

What is suggested here is merely a guide, You will develop you own style fairly quickly.

Setting up

This can be as elaborate or simple as you'd like.

You probably noticed that most Tarot readers will spread a cloth over whatever surface they are doing readings on. This serves two purposes,practically, it keeps your cards clean. On a psychic side, the color you chose to use can help with the vibrations of the card. I tend to like black, as it doesn't interfere with energies. For divination and psychic ability,Others like blue, yellow or purple.

Here are some elements of set up you might consider:

• Some readers start by purifying their space, even smudging it
• Clothes can be draped over surfaces where readings are to be done
• Appropriate gemstones can be spread about
• Appropriate incense and candles lit
• Some meditate
• Some readers go through a whole ritual before reading, including casting a circle and calling quarters
• Some light candles and incense and play soft music.
• Others do nothing but pull out the deck

Do what feels right to you, whatever connects you to the energy of the universe or puts you in the "groove" to do readings. I suggest the one thing that to rid it of any energy that might interfere with a reading if it is possible is to do a quick smudge of the room. And before beginning,it's always a great idea to take a few deep breaths and ground and center.

You do want to make sure you won't be interrupted when doing a reading so turn off the TV, the phones (your client's cell phone) and shut the pets out. Make sure in the environment of a comfortable temperature. And make sure you are dressed comfortably. If your top is constricting your breathing,you can't concentrate on a reading.

Drawing cards

Once you have everything set up and are focused, it's time to begin, Take out your cards. What it is you want to know is important to concentrate on as you shuffle them. It is better to ask open-ended questions rather than yes or no questions. If the question is clear,the answer will be clear,too. Keep simple questions. Focus on the experience rather than the outcome. If you're sure your question is specific,it is worded to represent exactly what you want to know. you can ask for what you might need to know for the next week or general guidance ,If you don't have a specific issue to address,or that the spirits/deities tell you whatever it is you need to know right now. Just be sure to concentrate.

Stop shuffling when you feel ready to do the spread.

How you do is up to you,Whether or not you cut the deck now.From the top of the deck,some people will then deal out cards. Others fan them out and randomly draw cards. People still using a pendulum to choose cards. it's up to you to choose.

A point of note: If a card or cards fall out when you are shuffling, put them aside; they usually jump out for a reason and should be included in your interpretation.

(If you are doing a reading for others, you need to decide their level of involvement. Would they do all the above? Will they only shuffle or cut the deck? Will they even touch the cards at all?)

Remember, you cannot draw a wrong card.

If you are doing a spread, you might want to look at it as doing two readings. The first reading is the card in relation to the position it occupies in the spread. How the cards relate to each other is the second reading. Each reading tells a story about someone's life. You have to piece it together.

Pull more cards from the deck for clarification if something is unclear when doing a reading. Or when you finish the first reading,the deck can be reshuffled and you can move on to a clarification readings. Some readers will keep the initial card that raised the question as the focal point for the second reading.

When I would switch decks mid-reading,there have been times,So don't feel limited by a spread or a deck,I've done 40+ card readings. Go with your gut,you'll know when a reading is over and either feel it or you will find the cards repeating themselves or all of the sudden the new cards won't make any sense.
