One thing that I find very helpful before engaging in an Oracle /Tarot reading is to get into the right state of mind or perhaps more accurately it should be stated "communicating with the proper mind".
The conscious mind can be full of noise ,doubt and distraction so a few basic exercises can be done to bypass the chatter of the conscious mind.
It isa important to note however that the conscious mind is valuable and necessary in everyday activity but this protector of the physical self can get in the way when one is engaged in a Divination or other working.
There are a few things that can be done to go into a lite trance that helps you bypass the doubt, fear ,chatter , worry or just plain distraction of the conscious mind.
1. A basic breath count meditation for a few moments Breathe in for a count of 4 , hold for a count of 4 ,exhale for a count of 4 , hold for a count of 4 then repeat.
2. Coloring in a coloring book can help or tracing a maze especially if it is a maze you have already solved just keep tracing it many times back and forth.
3. For some people audio assistance helps listening to extremely repetitive music . Music with no real surprises such as droning chants or repetitive drums.
4 Draw a spiral on a piece of paper and trace it ,over and over ...back and forth many times
or go to you tube and find videos of moving spirals and gaze at them(hopefully they last more than a few minutes to allow time for a trance to set in).
5. Turn out the lights, light a candle , sit about 6 feet away from the candle and gaze at the flame (some say just above the flame) . Do this with a breath count if you like. It helps as well if the candle is placed high enough that you are looking slightly up at it.
Soften your focus and this helps to open your 3rd eye.
These are some of the things I do to prepare for an evening of Oracle/ Tarot readings.
