Last autumn, when the trees in my yard had already turned their majestic colors of red and orange, I had the sense that my life was also changing. Not in any big dramatic way, but I noticed knew opportunities I felt guided to explore. One of them was Denise Linn’s new class, Soul Coaching® Oracle Card Certification. I wasn’t sure why I felt almost compelled to take her class other than the fact that I had always loved collecting decks of oracle cards. Angel cards being among my favorites. In fact I drew a card for myself almost daily. It was part of my morning spiritual routine. I would ask a question, draw a card for insight, journal, meditate and pray. Not always in that order and often not as routine I was would have liked, but when I did indulge myself in this practice, I found it not only soothing, but I had many ah-ha moments.
Perhaps that is why I wanted to take the oracle card course. My cards had already given me so much pleasure; I couldn’t help but wonder what else I could learn about card reading. I had often been told I was very intuitive, so I decided to sign up and see what would happen. At that time I had no intention of reading cards for others. That was about 5 months ago, today I cannot image my life and my coaching business without the addition of oracle cards.
Let me explain! Shortly after learning all Denise had to teach us about Soul Coaching® Oracle Cards we were told we needed to complete 88 card readings in order to get certified. At first I thought, “Yikes, how can I do that many readings?” Well it didn’t take very long before it became such a passion of mine that 88 readings seemed to fly by! “Why was I so passionate” you might ask? It was simply because every reading I gave brought not only wonderful insights for my clients, but also for me. The more I read for others the deeper I connected to the cards. My theme for this this year 2012 is trust and did this ever show up in a big way when I was reading the cards recently!
I was conducting a reading by email that I had scheduled to do at a very early hour. I had not been up for very long when I began to prepare for the reading around 6am. I connected to my cards, cleared the space, lit a candle, said a prayer, etc. and I began to shuffle the cards. I saw her question for the reading and her name in the open note book in front of me. I consciously drew the first card. Then I did something I almost never do and now will never do again. I looked at the card and at her question and thought, “I must still be groggy, because this simply cannot be the correct card for this reading.” I then put the card back and reshuffled, I very carefully drew another card out of the deck of 52 cards.
My mouth flew open as I saw it was the exact same card as before. I was being told in no uncertain terms that I had not only drawn the correct card the first time, but that I could not make a mistake drawing the cards, because I was being divinely guided. My theme for the year, trust, was showing up big time. Apparently, I needed to trust more than I was.
But wait, it gets even more astounding. I told the woman who I was doing the reading for…about my experience of thinking I had drawn the wrong card. She shared with me exactly how correct the card was. She had posted the very same word that was on the card in the middle of her vision board months before. Once again my mouth flew open and all I could do was silently thank the universe for such a wonderful validation. No matter what card appears in my readings now, I always trust it is not only the correct card for my client, but that there will be a much deeper meanings for my client than what I see on the surface. They are the best judges of what is and what is not important in their lives. I conduct my card readings very much like my coaching sessions. I assist my clients to connect the dots of their lives, so they can easily create a life they love.
Of course all of my coaching clients do not resonate with card readings, just as some do not like personality assessments or workbooks. All my clients are unique so I customize all my coaching accordingly.
