Are you so busy searching for the results you want that you’re not seeing what’s right in front of you?

 

Not every reading will bring clarity. Not every healing will create an immediate shift. And not every result will look the way you expected.

 

But that doesn’t mean your practice isn’t working.

 

The solution isn’t to pull another card, search for another meaning, or to swap out techniques.

 

The goal isn’t to keep searching until something finally feels right. It’s to develop the confidence to recognize what you’re receiving and know what to do with it.

 

YOU WILL DISCOVER:

 

✨ Why constantly searching for answers can keep you from seeing what’s right in front of you.

✨ Why your expectations can cause you to overlook important insights.

✨ How curiosity and reflection can reveal results you didn’t recognize in the moment.

✨ Why trusting your tools and yourself is essential to developing your practice.

 

Listen now to move from not feeling the results to knowing what to do next.

Are you ready to get started? All right, let’s go

Why You’re Not Seeing What’s Right in Front of You

It happens all the time.

When a client or practitioner doesn’t feel the results.

I mean, there have also been times when I’ve questioned whether what I’m doing is actually bringing about the desired results.

Whether it’s a healing session or a tarot reading, there are times when what you’ve done may not hit the mark in the immediate moment.

But that miss does not mean you should throw in the towel.

It’s actually an opportunity to lean in and see what is actually being revealed to you.

In this episode, I’m going to show you how to go from not seeing what’s right in front of you to knowing what to do next.

When a Tarot Reading Doesn’t Resonate

I was reading tarot cards at a party recently where one of the clients was left feeling a sense of lack following the reading.

She just didn’t connect with the cards, the interpretation, the spread, all of it.

The reading just didn’t have the alignment the other clients had been experiencing, and no one is to blame here.

Not the client, not the reader, not the cards.

We even did an additional clarifying card, but it just wasn’t enough to get the client over the hump of not feeling the results.

As the reader, I needed to be okay with the fact that the client wasn’t there.

That they weren’t seeing or connecting with the information being revealed.

But I also had to be okay with the client’s disappointment too.

She wanted something, insight, direction, clarity, answers, and she didn’t get it.

Card Shopping: Searching for the Right Answer

When you’re searching for an answer, a solution, this is when you’re most actively turning over every rock, every page to find what you’re looking for, and that’s not a bad thing.

But when you let that drive for the solution to be all-encompassing, that’s when you start to shop for something that may not be able to be found.

In the case of this client, we did the additional clarifying card, but that still didn’t get her what she wanted.

What she did next was what I think everyone does in one form or another.

She pulled another card and probably would have continued pulling cards.

But it’s at this point that she was doing what I call card shopping.

Pulling cards to either finally get the card that she could resonate with or that allowed her to prove the entire reading was not relevant.

Now, let me put this uncomfortable truth here.

I’m sure you do this with your crystal and tarot practice, but it may show up differently than pulling more cards or more crystals in hopes that something works.

You’re also shopping for that magical one way that makes your practice work.

That elusive thing you’ve been hunting for that will finally allow you to feel like you are legitimate in your practice.

Why Your Expectations Keep You From Receiving Information

The crystals and cards are always communicating with us.

It comes down to whether we’re in a place to receive what they want us to know.

Sometimes what’s happening is that we are too invested in a circumstance or perception or intended or expected result that we fail to pick up and recognize the little hints that get shown to us along the way.

This is much like the phrase, “Hindsight is 20/20.”

We don’t know what we don’t know, and it’s only when we look back that we can see the hints and nudges that have been provided to us the entire time.

How to Recognize Results in Your Crystal Practice

Go back to the cards, to the crystals, and lean into what you did or didn’t connect with.

What did you truly sense, feel, or know?

It’s not that you felt nothing.

It’s that what you did feel didn’t land on the radar, possibly because you were expecting it to land in a different specific way.

This is when using something like a ritual worksheet or a crystal healing review page that helps to create clarity because you’re actually documenting what it is that went on.

Between tracking your intention or how you were feeling before, and then the tools that were used and the tracking of the outcome, this is how and where you get to fine-tune and understand the success or movement of your practice.

Notice that I didn’t use the word failure of your practice.

While doing healing and rituals may not bring about the desired end result, it doesn’t mean that they failed.

They brought about a result, just maybe not the one you wanted.

Like the card reading for this one individual, the cards were the cards, but they didn’t bring about the clarity that she desired.

Why Curiosity Can Change Your Perspective

This is where getting curious really supports your practice.

Maybe you need to see your circumstances or your results from a different angle.

Maybe you need to take a more macro look at what is being said or vice versa maybe you need to be more micro in what you’re looking at.

Zoom in and zoom out to find the spot where it makes sense.

Maybe you need to ask your questions a different way.

We talked about quality questions in episode one seventeen.

And be curious about what you may be trying to avoid seeing or acknowledging, because sometimes we protect ourselves from the hurt we think we’ll experience if we allow ourselves to hear what’s truly being said.

How to Build Trust in Your Crystal and Tarot Practice

When you find yourself here and you’re tempted to try any of the unhelpful tactics, whether it’s card shopping, meaning shopping, redoing your work, I know that if you don’t trust in the cards or the crystals to be giving you what you would benefit from knowing, if you don’t trust your ability to handle the result, you will always find yourself not feeling the results.

There’s a reason why it’s called a crystal or tarot practice.

The more you work with your tools, the better you see the connections and learn how to receive and interpret information, the more clear it all becomes.

Your practice is always shifting and evolving as long as you keep showing up with an open mind and a willingness to see what is being revealed.

Sure, when you’re just starting out, things may not seem deep or significant, but it doesn’t mean what you’re doing won’t have a profound effect on you.
