I do readings for people, tarot mostly but in this image I am trying to convey how the process of a reading works and how important the signs within your body/mind are and how they are brought into play during a reading.
Yes you look to the cards, but also you look inwardly and listen to the signs coming from your body.

Sometimes it's like a stream of consciousness.
A wash of images that you see in your minds eye and it's up to the experience of the reader to interpret them.
Sometimes you get a feeling a body sensation, sometimes even pain, and you put your awareness into it and it seems to open out and more images/information flows.

When you've been reading for a few years you get to watch for the signs within and the tarot cards become secondary to a reading.
