Rewarding your students is a great way to encourage positive behaviors. There isn't a specific guideline for rewarding them…it's all up to you!

Each tarot deck has a quirk and a personality. If you watch readers on YouTube, there's a difference between a card reader and an energy reader. An energy reader calls the energy before they pull the card and a card reader only looks at the card. As a reiki master, I am in the energy reader boat…my hands lead the way and they are attuned to the slightest variation in energy… the cards usually back up what comes through my intuition.
