Teaching notes

[sabrinamari]

I'll start Trent on 3-card readings soon, and ask him to observe several as well.

We can begin with observation and treat cards he doesn't yet know as an opportunity for discussion.

I can probably get Michael to oblige and allow himself to be observed during a reading.

This way, Trent can also watch the process of reading, which is really a form of lay counseling.

The way I approach reading is that the cards inform the conversation but are not, in themselves, a prediction of the future.

However, the cards serve a secondary purpose. They create a space for an intimate conversation. It is possible to "blame" the cards for opening a topic that would otherwise be difficult. And those difficult conversations can be very helpful.

The underlying lesson is creating a space in which love and trust is the norm.

All of this is difficult for kids to get, of course, but they eventually will.

I'd love to have Trent read for me. His intuition is fierce. We can Skype it!
