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.

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 am delighted and grateful, that Holly Marie Colino has written a Guest Post for this site, about The  Star Tarot Card.

The Star 300x266 The Star Tarot Card

The Star Tarot Card.

The Star Tarot Card symbolizes that you are liberated from false securities. After the death of a situation or a towering event you learn that what your intuition said was no good, must be discerned and complimented with critical thinking. You also may have noticed that allowing yourself to yield to external pressures or stigmas has gotten you into situations where your true self could not be honored and unleashed.

This causes acceptance of what you have created and gives new insights into your development.

New hope and personal power supports you to move authentically. Passionate energy resonates within you from the valor you displayed in getting through the trials. You now have hope for manifesting your desires.
This is a time to reinvent yourself and your life. You are the energy that radiates and magnetizes what you can attain. Why not rejuvenate your entire core being? The Star Tarot Card is symbolic of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual cleansing.

The energy of the Star Tarot Card tells you that you now have enough time to evaluate yourself and accept your truth in order to manifest harmony.

Inspiration of Desire – The Star Tarot Card

The Star Tarot Card does give us hope because we know we are now liberated from chaos which manifested from false securities and oppression. This means you are now able to attract opportunities and act on them. You are no longer imprisoned or oppressed to the point of an inability to initiate actions to achieve or nurture what you desire. Here are a few things you must consider:

Do my beliefs support my desires?

What choices can nurture my desires?

Are my behaviors facilitating my desires or blocking them?

Can I accept myself so I may accept the right decisions in order to prevent oppressing and meaningless situations?

Remember; you do not want to create an oppressing future or another decision that will be another false security.

The Star Tarot Card is really telling you that you must utilize the past and contemplate what situations were false securities and oppressing and why. What were you trying to be and who you honestly are.

A real process of ascension is liberating because you are releasing the falsehood within your true self and loving yourself enough to accept your truth and live by your truth. Living in your truth will influence choices that nurture and empower yourself in order to create a life that brings you happiness and lasting security. 

The Star Tarot Card was written by Holly Marie Colino.

I share here a few things that are helping me to develop my intuition.

Developing Intuition

1) Sitting in a particular place on a daily basis to meditate. I practice a number of different meditations, one of which concentrates on activating and balancing the Chakras.

2) Visualizing my Pineal Gland bathed in Violet Light and seeing Golden Light streaming down into it to awaken it. The Pineal Gland is shaped rather like a pine cone, so I imagine the shape and sense it coming to life.

Pineal Pituitarty Glands1 300x297 Developing Intuition   Practice and Ritual

3) Using a mental ritual – I travel in my imagination to a sacred spot to receive intuitive impressions. When I have received the impressions and written them down, I return in my imagination, to my usual surroundings and to normal waking consciousness.

4) Doing the above practices on a regular basis. I believe it is the repetition and reinforcement that trains the brain.

5) Receiving feedback about the accuracy of the Intuitive Impressions.  This is very important, as it gives me confidence that I am not just making things up.

I find that developing intuition is very compelling, its like a journey into a very interesting and beautiful country. The practice and ritual really seem to help.

I hope you will find some of the above ideas useful on your own journey. You could play with the ideas and improvise to find the way that suits you.  Everyone is unique.

Here is a useful link to more detailed information about the Pineal Gland.

The image on this card is a very powerful and disturbing one, it pulls no punches. The Tower Card message for today seems to me, to be very relevant, both for individuals and also for the collective.

The Tower The Tower Card Message For Today

The base of something; whether it be a relationship, an economy, an endeavour, or the motivation of a group of people, has of necessity to be built on solid and firm foundations.

The Tower Card symbolizes the catastrophes, strokes of fortune, and unexpected events that appear seemingly out of the blue, to test these foundations to the limits.

What foundations is our society built upon?  Are they going to stand this testing time?

What foundations are our lives built upon? 

In my own life, I can feel that the foundations my own ‘tower’ rests upon, are very rocky and the masonry is starting to fall about my ears.

Is there anything shaky in your life that needs your immediate attention to prevent a collapse?

How do we personally and collectively build a life and a society on firm foundations?

The Tower card message for today cannot be ignored, it will not go away.  Does the edifice have to crumble completely, before something stronger and more durable is built up to replace it?  Or can we, by heeding the very obvious warning signs,  act swiftly and expediently, to rebuild our respective towers before their total collapse? 

Please leave a comment below, because I would love to know your views and opinions.

According to my sister Gemini is prominent in my Astrological Chart.  One of the ways this manifests in my life is that I am always doing  things differently, changing my ideas and changing things around……so as of yesterday May 21 since I wrote this post I changed the title of my site yet again…..to Intuitive and Email Tarot Reading…….not to confuse anyone least of all myself!!

The name of this site is changing from Email Tarot Reading to Intuitive Readings by Gillian, for two reasons:

1) I  now rely more on my intuitive impressions rather than on the Tarot Cards in my readings.                                                                                                                                                                                                

 2) I am giving phone readings as well as email readings from this site.

Also, I like change and enjoy changing things around, so the name of the site is a good place to start.

 Pineal Gland Activation Meditation

The Pineal Gland is the part of the brain linked to the Third Eye, which controls intuition/psychic ability/inner sight. If you would like to find out more about the Pineal Gland, here is a link to a page that gives comprehensive information on the Pineal Gland and its function. 

I have been doing daily meditations to activate my Pineal Gland since November and this practice has made a considerable difference to my intuitive abilities.  As a result ‘Intuitive Readings By Gillian’ seems the more appropriate title to use now.
