Gillian Knebel: Perspectives on intuition and effective preparation for intuitive counsel

“Welcome to Intuitive impressions by Gillian Knebel. I was very intrigued to see a new original style of Tarot card reading by Ms. Gillian Knebel. She is the only Tarot reader that has yet to establish a website that offers these Intuitive Impressions. I was pleased to be able to interview and ask Ms. Knebel some valuable questions that pertain to Intuition. Gillian was kind enough to offer her time. “

How much time do you spend on one client to do an intuitive reading?

Usually it takes me an hour and a half. I have to spend time to clear myself of my own thoughts while tuning in to my sacred space. It takes much energy.

Describe your method to receive guidance for your clients concerns.

I first propose the question once I have reached the sacred space. I simply allow the unconscious to guide me on a journey along with inviting the Divine Spirit into the reading. Once I have finished the intuitive journey I draw tarot cards. The Tarot Spread or the numbers of cards I use depend on the nature of the client’s question. As almost always, the tarot cards synchronize with my journey information.

What do you conclude from the Tarot cards and how?

I have a great understanding of the cards after working with them for so many years. I now can look at them collectively and gather a main message. I can look at them as a whole and gather sentences. I often use the symbolism to gather meanings. I do get very strong feelings towards the cards while meditating upon them which helps to interpret the message they are sending. I have a strong ability for clairsentience, an inner knowing and guidance of feeling my way to the meaning of the message.

How have your Intuitive Abilities helped you along the way?

I feel that it takes care of me. I have become an eccentric. The ability has actually helped me with my eating. I simply know what and when to eat. I now can listen to my body and that intimacy has helped me to nurture my entire being. One really important achievement I have gained from my intuition is the mastery of knowing my divine path. I have achieved living in my truth rather than making decisions based on what others expect of me and not being happy with the outcomes.

What is your main goal to be obtained from establishing your website, Intuitive Impressions?

The immediate effect I wish to create is reducing the distress in other people’s lives. I want to help Humanity by being a conduit of intuitive inspiration. I also wish to empower Humanity and enlighten others about their Divine Self and own intuition.

What are a few things you would tell a client asking you about enlightenment of their eccentric self?

I see too many people giving away their personal power by relying on other sources incessantly for guidance. We all need help getting through problems but we must not forget that even the outside help is to support triggering the answers that always lie within us. It is important for people to trust in themselves for the answers.

One other vital factor for anyone using divination for guidance, is to propose their question with direct clarification of intent. It is important when you are giving or receiving a reading, to make sure there is a meeting of minds. You must make the intent clear so the guidance may also be clear.

Developing Your Intuition With The Magician Tarot Card

Before I began to write this post, I chose today to work with the Tarot Card, The Magician, but on reflection, see that the card itself says a great deal about what is going on in my life, at present.

In the same way perhaps, synchronicity has brought you to this page today, to learn something from the Magician Card about your intuition, your life and your journey at this time?

The Magician – Developing Your Intuition

Take out Notepad or a piece of paper and jot down the first things that comes to you, in response to my questions. Please trust yourself, don’t judge what comes.

Take a few deep breaths and slow right down, take a long look at the picture of the tarot card below. Then answer the following questions:

What is the Card saying just to you?

What do the symbols mean to you?

Does anything jump out at you from the picture?

If yes, do you know why?

What message has The Magician Tarot Card to give you today?

Have you anything to ask the card?

If yes, do so now and wait for the answer.

I did the exercise and wrote down what I received, on my Impressions Page.

If you would like to share what you received from The Magician, please do so in the comments box below.

I trust you will find this Developing Your Intuition Exercise interesting, helpful and enlightening.

Developing Intuition – Tarot And Creativity

Intuition and Creativity – there is something magical about them, they never cease to amaze and delight me. I love to develop and use these faculties within myself and encourage others to develop and use them too.

Developing Intuition -Tarot

When I first began to learn Tarot, I memorized the meanings of the cards by heart and then stuck rigidly to these meanings, as I interpreted the cards. I also used to adhere to two specific layouts, each time I did a reading (either the Celtic Cross or the Egyptian Five Card Spread). Many many readings later, with increased confidence, the rigidly defined meanings and spreads have slipped into the background, to be replaced by spontaneous interpretation. Often I dispense with the cards altogether. Sometimes, I will just flip one card, sometimes a few cards – whatever feels right at the time. In my case, it is experience that has given me the confidence to be flexible, spontaneous and trust my intuition.

Developing Intuition – Creativity

Similarly, when I began to compose music, I wrote each note down separately, checking and rechecking that the music sounded OK as I went along. It was a tedious and laborious process. Many songs and much music later, I now improvise a melody and layer other melodies on top of the first one. Still, every time, I am delighted and surprised how this method works and that a piece of music seems to emerge, almost of its own volition, through this improvisational process.

A Developing Intuition Exercise For You To Do

With this in mind, I invite you to look at The Empress Card below and let your intuition guide you. Let the Empress teach you about your own creativity and show you how best to develop and use it. Ask her to show/teach/speak to you now, as you slow your breathing, concentrate and absorb the meaning of the card. Jot down what comes to you, so that you can refer to it later. I will write my ideas down on the Impressions page, if you want to look at what I have written, please wait until you have done this exercise yourself. I hope that you will learn something new.

I hope you have enjoyed this post about Developing Intuition – Tarot And Creativity.

The Hierophant – Developing Your Intuition

Dec 122010

Anyone can learn to give tarot readings, it is merely a matter of memorizing the meaning of the cards. The more highly developed your intuition, the more insightful and accurate your readings will be.

If you want to develop your intuition – ‘Ask and you will be given to you’. The very act of asking for this facility to develop within yourself, will open the door for you. Practice will bring your gift to fruition.

I feel passionate about encouraging others to develop and use their own intuition. That’s why I write so much about it in this blog. In my opinion, many of us and I speak most definitely for myself here, have been brought up in a culture, that has stunted the development of their innate intuitive guidance system. Thank goodness, the tide is turning now, as more and more people become aware of and access their intuitive faculties.

“Listen to your inner voice, it is the most important guide for you on this planet.” – Guruji

Intuition Exercise Focusing On The Hierophant Card

Breathe slowly and deeply until you feel relaxed. Imagine that you have roots growing down from your feet into the ground beneath you. You feel centred, firm and strong. Look at this card, let it speak directly to you. Disregard anything you have read about this card in books, or that others have told you.

Questions

What stands out about the card to you?

What is the message from the card?

What is the figure saying to you?

How does the card make you feel?

Anything else you notice or pick up?

If you would like to share what you receive, write it down in the comments box below. I am going to do this exercise right now and I will write what I receive on the Impressions Page. Don’t look at my ideas, or any one else’s ideas, till you have done the exercise for yourself. There is no right or wrong.

Bring your attention fully back into normal waking consciousness, before you go about the rest of your day.

The Four of Cups – Developing Your Intuition

Card Interpretations, Developing Intuition Exercises, Developing Intuition With Tarot 19 Responses »

Jul 142010

When I give readings nowadays, I ask people to give me their impressions of some of the cards that I pick for them, before I offer my own interpretations. This does several things; it gives the person asking for the reading direct insight into their situation and it also and very importantly, leaves the power in their hands. These personal impressions of the cards give me a fresh look at the cards’ meaning and a new perspective on the question that I am being asked.

Sometimes I think that a reader (certainly this is true for me) can have set meanings for the cards fixed in their minds. In one way this is good, as it enables the reader to gather the information from the symbols rapidly and deliver a helpful reading. On the other hand, having fixed meanings for the cards brings a certain rigidity to the interpretation .

So I offer the following exercise: If you are not familiar with the cards you will learn something about them from doing this. If you are familiar with the cards, this will give you fresh insight and a new perspective. Sometimes gaining a new perspective doesn’t take much at all – simply a step to one side.

Look at this card for a few minutes, without preconceptions and with an open mind. Open notepad or write on a piece of paper and jot down the impressions that you receive from this card.

How do you feel when you look at the card? What do the symbols say to you? How would it feel to be the man in the card? Put yourself into the picture for a few minutes; feel the grass, the air, the tree trunk against your back. What are the cups made of and what is inside them? Are you aware of the other cup that is being offered? What does it contain?

Please feel free to leave your impressions as a comment below this post. I am going to do this right now too and I will leave mine on my Impressions Page. Don’t be tempted to look at mine till you have done the exercise yourself.

Intuition – Developing Your Intuition

Developing Intuition Exercises, Developing Intuition With Tarot No Responses »

Feb 282010

I had no idea I was intuitive, until in a dance class one day, the teacher said to me ‘You are the most intuitive member of this class’. I was quite shocked, it was something I’d never thought about. I knew that my mother was considered very intuitive, but this was made light of. My (then) husband could sniff the wind to find an address – pretty impressive I thought. My own intuition – I’d never even considered it.

So intuition has crept up on me so to speak and little by little more and more each day, I trust what it has to tell me. I would counsel you to do the same, listening to the hunch, the feeling, the knowing, the image; everyone has their own way to connect with their intuition. I love the idea of the still small voice. My mother says that if she doesn’t listen to that voice (which is often drowned out by much louder voices) things don’t turn out well for her.

I love to give email tarot readings to people, to help them on their way with their issues and problems. Also, in creating this site, I would like to encourage people to develop their own innate skills, to learn to trust themselves and their intuitive powers. Otherwise other people, peer pressure, the media, religion, dogma and all those other outside authorities, hold the guiding reins of our lives.

So here’s a simple exercise.

I would like you to breathe deep as you look at this picture of the tarot card, The Star and see what impressions come to you. These impressions may come to you in the form of feelings, words, images, symbols or as a knowing. Write down what you receive. This will only take you a few minutes. You can post your impressions as a comment if you like. There are no wrong or right answers, only deeper levels of understanding.

I will do the same and post my impressions on the Intuitive Impressions page. Take a look at mine too, if you like.

The Queen Of Cups – Developing The Intuition

Developing Intuition Exercises, Developing Intuition With Tarot No Responses »

Feb 062010

I think its true when its said that you teach what you most want to learn.

I had an inspiration last night – to awaken your intuition, dear reader as well as mine, with a simple exercise to do right now. My last post was about developing ones intuition and I suggested an exercise, but I realize how easy it is to put something off till tomorrow and not ever get round to doing it.

What I would like you to do, is bring up Notepad on one side of your screen and have the picture of the Queen of Cups on the other side of your screen.

Breathe deeply as you look at the picture and note down any impressions that come to you. Let the impressions flow, don’t edit them. You may hear some words, see things move in the picture, have a feeling about the card or ideas may come to you. Whatever way your intuition speaks to you is the right way for you.

Do that right now. Then leave me a comment to let me know how you got on. I think you will find this to be a very interesting and enlightening exercise and it will only take a few moments of your time.

I’m going to do this too, I will leave my impressions on a separate page.

How To Develop Your Intuition

Developing Intuition Exercises, Developing Intuition With Tarot No Responses »

Feb 032010

Everyone is intuitive, in some this facility is fully developed, in others its hardly functioning, like a muscle that has atrophied through lack of use.

Even though some people appear to be naturally gifted, everyone can learn to develop their intuition. Like everything else in life, all it takes is practise

Are you aware of your intuition and how it speaks to you? Take a minute to think before answering.

Does it speak to you through feelings, bodily sensations, ‘ knowing’, or maybe a combination of all these things?

Its important to be quiet enough to listen to your intuition. Meditation helps to still the mind, so that you can hear what the still small voice has to say to you.

Simple Steps To Help You Develop Your Intuition

Devote a period of time on a regular basis to developing your intuition. This doesn’t have to be a very long period, just a regular practice.

1) Sit comfortably somewhere that you won’t be disturbed and concentrate your mind on your breath – watch it moving in and out of your body. Relax more and more each time you breathe out. Letting thoughts come and go, not struggling just being with your breath.

2) Ask your intuition a question and wait quietly to see or feel what answer comes to you. Begin with a simple question, something that it will be easy for you to act upon or verify. Nothing much may seem to happen, or the answer may seem vague. This is fine.

3) Keep a journal of these sessions; write down what you asked, the answer you received and how the intuitive impression came to you. By this I mean; does it come through a sound, a sight, a colour, a feeling, a knowing etc. It doesn’t matter how vague the answer appears to be, because with practice the impressions will become stronger.

4) Alternatively or additionally if you have a pack of Tarot Cards, ask your question and then pick a card from the pack. What does the card say to you? What does it mean to you? Do the colours and images appear to move and change? Whatever impressions come to you from the cards, write them down, don’t edit the feelings and images you receive, just let the impressions flow.

5) Below what you have written, leave a space, so that you can note down later what happened to you in your daily life. For example, you asked your intuition ‘Should I contact Mary today’ and the response was ‘yes’ and you contacted Mary as a result. Note down what happened and how you felt about what happened, as a result of listening to and acting upon your intuition.

6) Thank your intuition for the guidance and wisdom it has imparted to you. Return to the room, your bodily sensations and your daily life.

Its through acting on these promptings and noticing the results, that you will begin to trust your intuition to guide you in the decisions that you have to make, every day of your life.
