What You Can Learn About Intimacy From Tarot Readers

A tarot reading is a very intimate and sacred experience. Often people will tell a reader stuff that they won’t tell even their closest loved ones. Why is that?

It’s because we are safe and we listen deeply to your concerns. We know how to be present for you.

When you come for a tarot reading, you can be completely open and vulnerable without fear of being judged. A good tarot reader will listen to your secrets and fears with compassion and loving kindness. We allow you to take off your masks and simply be as you are.

We also practice strict confidentiality. You can tell us just about anything without worrying that we are going to share that info with the world. Tarot readers know how to open their third eyes and keep their mouths shut.

The reading isn’t about ever about us our about our “abilities” – it’s about being there for YOU.

You can learn a lot from us about intimacy

It’s simple really: presence, listening, trust, allowing, and compassionate communication. That’s what makes a great tarot reading but that is also what creates a deeper bond with any relationship.

Here are the keys to greater closeness with your loved ones:

BE PRESENT. Each time you are with a loved one, REALLY be THERE. Focus on them and turn off the television.
LISTEN. That means stopping the running commentary in your head and putting your listening ears on. Your loved one deserves to be heard (and heard out in some cases).
TRUST IS ESSENTIAL. Your relationship should be treated as sacred. That means keeping things between yourselves and not telling Aunt Matilda every detail of your relationship. If you create a trusting environment, true intimacy can flourish.
ALLOW them to be honest with you. That means being open to the good, the bad and the ugly with compassion.
Practice COMPASSIONATE COMMUNICATION. I’m a huge believer in this form of communication (also called non-violent communication). Learning to communicate in a compassionate language will transform your relationships in ways you cannot imagine. It takes the ego out of the equation and puts love first and foremost.

Books that I recommend on non-violent communication:

Non Violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg

Living Non Violent Communication

Raising Children Compassionately

What We Say Matters by Judith Hanson Lasater and Ike Lasater

The Usual Error by Pace Smith and Kyeli Smith

“Intimacy is the capacity to be rather weird with someone – and finding that that’s ok with them.” ― Alain de Botton

“I wonder if this is how people always get close: they heal each other’s wounds; they repair the broken skin.” ― Lauren Oliver

“For a marriage relationship to flourish, there must be intimacy. It takes an enormous amount of courage to say to your spouse, “This is me. I’m not proud of it — in fact, I’m a little embarrassed by it — but this is who I am.” ~ Bill Hybels

Blessings!
