Several people have asked me recently about the benefits of using cards - tarot, Lenormand, Kipper - and receiving readings. In this video I address 8 common benefits, show & describe different decks I use in my cardwork & practice, then end on why you might choose tarot vs. Lenormand or Kipper. 

The 8 benefits I discuss are: 
* Changing your metaphors to escape outworn habits of thought
* Ending negative-self talk & catastrophizing
* Stepping back from the drama to work at forming a more neutral, objective picture
* Gaining clarity & a more balanced view
* Making difficult decisions with reduced procrastination
* Re-learning trust in yourself
* Creating a visible & searchable record of change, of improvement
* Knowing that while no one is perfect, you are making strides forward

The end result is replacing negative self-talk with "possible talk," a self-conversation ripe with new options & alternatives, which can be explored. And these often lead to more positive outcomes. Re-learning to trust & be-friend yourself, to treat yourself as your best friend, is also invaluable. 

Doing that work to connect yourself to yourself brings great rewards.
