How do Tarot Readings work?


• The Tarot is a meditation tool, based on a system of 78 cards, with five suits: earth water, fire, air, and aether, spirit cards, also known as the Major Arcana. They follow a system based on numerology, the elements, and the human journey through the spiral of life.

• Each card has an image depicting human archetypes, a universal life lesson, shared globally - joy, grief, compassion, humility, strength, beauty, jealousy, power, etc. Each represented by different artists, and in different forms:  morals, fables, fairy tales, mythology, symbols Each card tells a story, and because you have free will and you have free choice, any card you choose will have a lesson for you to apply to whatever situation you focus on. It’s like asking Grandma for advice and she tells you a story about back in the old country...

• There is comfort and wisdom in consulting the cards, because they reflect your current situation, validate the events leading up to the moment, and affirm the actions you choose as a result, for the most constructive and beneficial solution possible for the highest good.

• Each card tells a story. Seeing the cards activate your Right Brain; Hearing Kayla tell the story activates your Left Brain.This connection allows you to make the best decisions for your situation.

• Tarot provides a visual mandala that activates your inner wisdom by engaging you on a journey through human archetypes. Insight is gained by noticing the response to the life lessons that the cards reveal. It engages both your left and right brain,

Gift yourself or your partner with a deck or set, as a wonderful communication tool that will enhance any relationship - especially during the tougher times. Pulling a card together puts you in alignment to see the real challenge, and how to create a win-win situation. There are lots of decks to choose from - pick the one that speaks to your heart and that you will truly enjoy using.

I love Kayla. I originally came for just a tarot reading and left with way more than I expected. Her wisdom and insights were amazing. I have since been back for a birth chart reading, a chakra balancing, and a couple of guided meditations including a past life regression. All I can say is, "wow" - you want to work with Kayla if you can.- Donna B, Soquel, California on Yelp
