Answer: Ideally, any intuitive reading, no matter how it is conducted, or what tools are used, will include some information that can be used to validate your connection to spirit.

In other words, something should come through that you don’t know but that your sitter does. That will confirm for both of you that are connected to spirit.

Subsequent information that comes through can then be trusted.

It’s really important to make sure you put yourself at a high vibration before you tune in and conduct a reading, as it is possible to make contact with lower vibrational beings who don’t have you or your sitter’s best interest at heart.

As for being beneficial, a reading should empower, inspire, and motivate your client. You are there to provide a map of the trail they are traversing through life. If all you’re picking up are the dangers and pitfalls near your client’s path, then go deeper and find out from their guides what your client needs to do to get away from the danger and start moving in a healthy, safe, happier direction.

Good luck!

This week’s question comes from John. He asks:

“Who am I connecting with during a tarot card reading?”

Here is a transcription of the video:

Hello and welcome to another episode of Ask Erin Pavlina. Today’s question comes from John. He writes: “In a tarot card reading who or what is answering the question and how can you tell if the guidance coming through is high vibration or low vibration and fear-based?” This is an excellent question.

I myself do not read tarot cards, but this question really applies to anybody who is using their intuitive abilities to give people advice. When you tune in to do any kind of intuitive reading or any kind of intuitive work, and you’re asking for guidance and trying to connect with somebody on the other side who can help you, it is vital to make sure you’re getting information from a high vibration source. Vital! So the answer is when you’re doing a tarot card reading, or any kind of reading, you could be tuning in to something that is high vibration or something that is low vibration. It’s really up to you to figure out and make sure you’re connecting with something that is high vibration.

So how can you tell? First of all you should always put yourself into a high vibrational state before you open yourself up to do any kind of intuitive reading. So if you’re just sitting at the Ouija board or you start flipping over tarot cards and you haven’t done a meditation or something to get your vibration high, then you’re playing with fire and you might connect with something that isn’t going to be serving your highest good. So the first thing to do is to raise your vibration until you feel like you’re in a really good place and you’re in a nice sacred state.

Once you’re in a high vibrational state, then you want to invite a spirit guide, or being, to you that will help answer your questions. How can you tell if the information coming through is good or fear-based? Basically, by the type of information coming through. Anything that is fear-based is going to try to put you in a state of fear or may even make threats, like “if you don’t do this, you’re never going to succeed” or “if you don’t do this, you’re going to die.”

So sometimes you get entities that will try to scare you or put you in a state of fear because that’s what they feed off of. A high vibrational being will always come from a place of love and encouragement and support. They will not berate you, they will not threaten you and they will not try to put you in a state of fear. They will help you navigate the maze of your life. They won’t tell you what to do but they’ll make some suggestions on what will make you happy. You’ll know inside if that clicks for you and if that resonates with you.

So yours is a very very important question. Please make sure that before you sit down and do anything intuitive and before you open yourself up, make sure you are in a high vibrational place so that you know that you are pulling in a high vibrational entity. Then just watch the information that’s coming through and make sure that it’s good and loving and supportive, and not fearful and threatening. Great question!
