Can Your Dream Be Telling You Something?

Cassy — Thu, 28 May 2009 19:07:19 +0000

At some point in our lives, we will all experience a powerful dream that leaves a lasting impression. We carry these dreams with us, thinking about them, reflecting on them, and wondering…. Are these dreams messages from the other side? Are these dreams trying to tell us something, warn us, guide us in some way?

The simple answers is: yes, these dreams are messages. Sometimes, these dreams come out of the subconscious, and our mind works over mundane problems, health issues, and relationship obstacles while our body sleeps. At other times, our Spirit Guide is trying to make contact with us and give us important information. Yet other dreams are whisperings from our own Higher Self, guiding us with imagery and symbolism.

Dreams can be a doorway to another reality and can offer us insight to the life we are leading right here and now. Dreams can show us danger, guide us toward an easier path, better choices, and help us to communicate with Spirit Guides and loved ones who have passed on. Dreams are the easiest way to develop your own intuition, and can be used to unlock your psychic center. The key is learning what your personal dream symbolism is, and which dreams are message dreams.

She has this to say about our dreams. “Interpreting dreams is like learning a new language. It takes focus and skill to be accurate. The challenge for most people is to interpret the symbolism in their dreams. Dream dictionaries don’t even begin to do this. In fact, dream dictionaries can confuse the dreamer, rather than help the dreamer to unlock the language of their dreams.”

With a dream interpretation reading from Cassy LeBedz, you are an active participant. By way of receiving a dream interpretation from Cassy, you will be able to refer to the reading report and learn how your Higher Self communicates with you through your dreams. We each have our own unique language of the soul. Each Dream Interpretation you purchase can be likened to a mini teaching session on your personal symbols and how they can be used to unlock this language of the soul. This will open up new avenues of self-development for you, and can be helpful now and in the future.

Dream interpretation can be challenging, but so rewarding. Unlock the secrets within your mind. Sleep, dream, and learn.

Asking The Tarot An Appropriate Question

Cassy — Thu, 07 May 2009 18:12:26 +0000

In seeking a tarot card reading, too often the seeker does not understand the importance of the question as it relates to the answer. In fact, the question is the pivotal key. When consulting an oracle, any oracular tool, the seeker must focus the will, and therefore focus the question. Ask an ambiguous question, and you will receive an ambiguous answer. As an example, the seeker may ask the tarot reader a question such as, “Tell me what is in my future.” That is a very broad, very open question. And it usually leads to a very broad and very vague answer that can become more and more confusing as each card is laid out. If the seeker is twenty years old, there are countless events and occurrences that lay ahead of them, which is in the future they are inquiring about. So many upcoming events can make for a confusing reading. It is far more practical for the seeker to determine what their most important goals are and what they need to know to advance these goals.

Another inappropriate question would be, “Who will I marry and when?” Presumably, if the seeker is female, any person on the street could answer, “You will marry a man, and you will get married when you are ready to do so..”A deck of cards is not going to pop a name out of the ether, nor will it offer you a concrete date. This is a question of the mundane, and in my years of experience, Spirit ignores questions of the mundane. Spirit might even go so far as to point out your worst faults. Who you are going to marry does not advance you spiritually. In fact, posing such a question shows that the seeker is yet a babe-in-the-woods spiritually. So, the tarot might give you the energy surrounding your question, which may be that you need to spend some time advancing yourself spiritually, rather than telling you who you will marry and when. Think it doesn’t happen? Oh, but it does. Often.

The seeker must understand that the seeker’s own soul, as well as the seeker’s Spirit Guides, are always on point to encourage the seeker in their spiritual development. The truth can be harsh. Sometimes a tarot reading offers the seeker some aspect of themselves that they do not want to hear. A tarot reading can turn to disappointment very quickly if the reader does not explain the truth of the spiritual path, the soul’s journey, and what the oracular experience is really all about.

One of the most common challenges that tarot readers and psychics face is the seeker who wants the “hoped for answer.” This means that a seeker may go to several different readers trying to get the outcome they desire, rather than accepting the truth. Seekers can even get quite angry at tarot readers and psychics who will not give them the answer they want to hear. They may call the psychic a fraud or say that the psychic is no good. An authentic psychic or tarot reader will only give the seeker what they truly see. Only scam artists will tell the Seeker what they want to hear, rather than the true answer. Scam artists are very good at telling people what they want to hear. This is a career for them. A psychic is going to tell you what they see in the spiritual, because a psychic wants to help. In my opinion, it is a waste of time for any seeker to consult a psychic or tarot reader trying to get only what they want to hear.

To further clarify this scenario, here is an example of what I mean. Jerry is in love with his girlfriend, but he doesn’t feel like she reciprocates these emotions. He may go to a tarot reader, hoping the tarot reader will tell him that his girlfriend does love him. If the tarot reader tells him that his girlfriend is not fully committed to him, he may get angry. He may then go to another tarot reader, and another, until he finds one that tells him what he wants to hear. This is not constructive for Jerry, and this practice does not help him at all. In fact, it harms him. When his girlfriend dumps him for another man, Jerry may determine that the last tarot reader lied to him, therefore all tarot readers are frauds. He will forget that three psychics prior tried to warn him of this event, but he didn’t listen.

To conclude this article, I will offer some examples of better ways to pose questions that will give the seeker more insight and help them make better choices in their life.

Kathy is having trouble at her workplace. She feels that she is always being passed over for advancements, but she doesn’t know why. She decides to seek the tarot for help.

Some examples of excellent questions are:

“What do I need to know about this situation at this time?”

“Show me the energy surrounding this situation?”

Or, “Show me the energy blockages surrounding this situation?”

With such an excellent question posed, the tarot spread may actually show Kathy that she is blocking herself, or it may show her that she has tough competition, and that she needs to present her ideas with much more confidence than she has in the past.

Another example. Sandra is afraid that she and her husband are drifting apart. They’ve been fighting a lot lately, and they just don’t feel as close to one another as they once were. She might approach the tarot with one of the following questions.

“Show me the energy surrounding this situation?”

“What can I do to reconnect with my husband?”

“What is the emotional state of my husband at this time?”

In the latter question, the 10 of Wands may appear followed by the Six of Swords. This could indicate that Sandra’s husband feels overworked and that he is carrying too many burdens. Perhaps it is time for Sandra to plan a vacation for the two of them, so her husband can relax for awhile and they can reconnect in a less stressful environment.

I hope these examples have been helpful. Remember, the Seeker is never passive in the reading. The Seeker is a participant. Go in with good energy and ask a good question. Good luck and enjoy the path.

Why People Consult A Professional Tarot Reader

Cassy — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 14:50:58 +0000

Simply put, people seek a tarot reading because they want answers. It seems that in stressful times, we become more active about seeking answers outside ourselves. This is in part due to the fact that stress short-circuits our rational thoughts, not to mention our intuitive hunches. In stressful times, we tend to spin around the problem, circling around it instead of dissecting it and getting to the core of the problem and finding answers.

In a case where one might be faced with a personal crisis or a dilemma, the tarot can be very beneficial in bringing to light the core aspects of the crisis, how you perceive the crisis, and options and ways to deal more efficiently with the crisis. I’ve said before that symbols are the language the soul uses to communicate ideas to our earthbound minds. Symbols are powerful vehicles that can be applied to help unlock the psyche. In a time of stress, an ethical, compassionate tarot reading from a trustworthy professional can help focus the client and ground the client so they can deal with the obstacles they face. This in no way implies that the tarot should be used in place of psychiatric intervention, if that is indeed necessary. It simply means that tarot can help focus the will and the mind to find solutions.

The main questions seekers ask of professional tarot readers revolve around financial concerns, career direction, and relationship worries. Who hasn’t been in a situation where they are unsure if they should proceed with a new relationship, or even an old relationship? Should I or shouldn’t I marry so-and-so? Well, first, asking the tarot a ‘should’ question is never the best approach. Why? Because answers are not static. All is fluid. Everything about this universe is in an ever-constant state of change, including you, your body, and your thoughts. Even as you sit and read this article, every cell in your body is performing an infinite number of tasks that measure in the millions, if not trillions. Your bones are being broken down and replaced with new bone. Your liver is regenerating itself. And on and on it goes in the continuous cycle of life.

Your thoughts are not static either. Instead, they emerge as energy and become a part of the universe. The energy of your thoughts influence the outcome of any situation you may find yourself in. This is why it is wise to always maintain a positive flow of thoughts and never to dwell on the negative aspects of anything.

Instead of asking a ‘should’ question, it is better to ask Spirit to reveal any unknown factors that could enhance or damage the relationship. In this way, you acknowledge one of the great laws of the Universe. Your Spirit, guardian angels, and spirit guides will never tell you what to do because you have free will as your God-given right. Your Spirit, guardian angels, and spirit guides will, however, show you things you may need to know in order to make your life easier, less burdened, or to help you be safer. But ultimately, even after you are offered this guidance, it is up to you to choose which path you will take. A good tarot reader will help you by teaching you how to interpret the signs and symbols in your life that can enhance your experience on this earth.

Enjoy the Path.
