Brightest light for your highest good
Reiki is a form of energy healing that flows within you to wherever it is needed. The literal translation of reiki is “universal life energy.” In my attunement and certification process, I have become a vessel that allows this beautiful energy to pass through me and into wherever that energy will create your greatest good.
I have had an interesting history with reiki. In March of 2019 I went with a friend to a beautiful yoga and surf town on the Pacific coast of Mexico (which ended up being a synchronistic trip in so many ways). I had never heard of reiki, though I was aware of energy healing and chakras. My friend got a reiki session and explained the process. Something was switched on within me. Just six months later I was receiving my first attunement, after having never even gotten reiki myself. I just had an absolute thrum of knowing that this was a journey I needed to begin.
Tarot is not meant to be fortunetelling in a direct way like media would have you believe. They won’t tell your future, they certainly can’t tell you how to win the lottery, and they absolutely should not be taken as medical, legal, or financial advice. Pulling that infamous “Death” card does not mean someone is going to die. What they can do is help you facilitate your thoughts and energy for what next steps might be. What are aspects of yourself you might consider in the coming days, weeks, months? What are some current complications you may have in your circumstances, and what approaches are available that you could take to move forward? Much like how flipping a coin helps you make a decision, for the fact that as it spins in the air you know what you hope it will land on - tarot will help you bring awareness to your own priorities, energies, and resolution in deciding how to move forward.
Tarot “spreads” to choose from
A tarot “spread” is how the cards are laid out. A certain number, questions or topics for each one. Think of it like a recipe or formula for your messages to come through. Read through each spread below to see what resonates most for your inquiry.
Celtic Cross (10 cards)
Think of this as a catch-all spread. It’s your current situation, what obstacles you may be facing, and things to consider as you move forward. It’s a great spread for people who might not have particular questions, are open-ended to answers, or have never gotten a tarot reading before. Examples of some of the particular card meanings are:
Present situation
How the past is relevant in the situation
Your power in the situation
Next steps to focus on
Message from the Universe (4 cards)
Quick and simple! This is a simple 4-card spread if you are open to receiving any messages and simply want to receive. You will get a message regarding your body, heart, mind, and spirit. Let’s see what the universe wants you to know!
Full or New Moon spread (7 cards)
This is one of my personal favorites, the reading I would most do for myself. A monthly or bi-weekly check in, to examine what lessons were most beneficial from the last moon to the present, and what to take forward into the near future. Great for those looking for ongoing readings and anyone in tune with lunar cycles. Examples of particular card meanings are:
Releasing: What you should be letting go of
Receiving: Things that will be coming into your life
Your lesson: What you should be learning at this point
Blooming Lotus (5 cards)
There are times in life we know that we are at the beginning of new growth. Whether it be projects, lessons, adventures, or even something within ourselves, the garden of who we are takes tending to as any other growth. This spread is for people who are looking to cultivate their circumstances to bloom. Examples of particular card meanings are:
What seeds you have planted and how they effect you now
What to weed from your garden to best bloom
How to nurture the soil for your best growth
Celestial Wish (5 cards)
See a star and make a wish! This is a spread to help you focus your energies on a wish you hope to come true. Much like the law of attraction or a vision board, putting your focus on your wish will help guide you to your true north to make your highest good come true. Examples of some of the particular card meanings are:
What your wish actually is
What you see clearly and what is hidden
How to best manifest your wish
Special Occasions!
There are many tarot readings that I love to pull out at the right time of year! I have a very favorite birthday reading for your special day. For those that follow the wheel of the year, I am happy to break out seasonal readings for Litha, Mabon, Yule, any of the eight holidays. And my absolute favorite, most magical day of the year - I love to do New Years readings for people. Please reach out if you would like a special occasion reading, or any questions you have that are not covered above.
Near and Far…
For clients around the world, we are able to do a digital recording of your tarot reading. When you select a spread, I take my deck and record an individual reading just for you. I will use whichever deck speaks most to me about your inquiry and will talk through both the specific card placements in the spread as well as which cards were dealt in your personalized reading. It does not allow the opportunity for us to discuss specifics of the reading or for me to answer any questions you have, but the recording is yours to keep and replay as many times as you’d like.
If you are near the Twin Cities in Minnesota we also have the option of an in-person reading. You will simply choose the “in-person” drop down option when selecting your reading. You must include your e-mail as you purchase your reading, as that will allow me to reach out to you to set up a time for your reading. This option allows us to meet in person, talk through the reading, and I can answer any questions you have as we go through.
I can’t wait to work with you!
