text: how do you develope your psychic abilities to read people without tarot cards or any tools? i have been reading the tarot for about 7 years. i have for the past two years been working with reading auras and talking to spirits. when i read the tarot i only use the pictures as triggers to start the film reel in my head which gives me the information i need. i was trying to find a catalyst to receive the information without having to use any tools such as tarot cards. meditation is where i started.  first you have to get intouch with your inner self and your "guides" (some people may call them angels, guardians etc).    open your mind and free your heart.
