Decks with figures or entities (people, characters, goddesses, mythological beings, fairies, unicorns, animals, dragons, etc) work best. This is a weekly practice to choose a card to represent a kind of \u2018guide\u2019 for the upcoming week. Below I will describe steps you can take, but feel free to modify and make this your own unique practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take a moment to close your eyes or softly gaze down and imagine your upcoming week: the challenges, events, and situations you anticipate as well as your broader overall life context. Think about what you could use support with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a card by either: a. Shuffling and randomly choosing a card or b. Specifically looking through the deck and choosing a card you feel drawn to.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reflect on your interpretations and meanings of the card. If you like, read the card\u2019s meaning in an accompanying guidebook (if available) and\/or research elements of the card using a symbols or a dream dictionary. Synthesize and integrate with your own meanings. This is ultimately a creative and personal process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place this card somewhere you will see it during the week.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optional: during the week further explore this card using additional Card Play techniques (such as \u2018Supportive Presence\u2019) which I will describe in future blog posts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optional: When you choose a new card for another week, develop a ritual of expressing gratitude for\/thanking the entity on the card for its guidance and support and \u2018release\u2019 it back into the deck.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a basic practice to get started with Card Play.
