Understanding the Tarot Deck
There are two kinds of tarot cards the Minor Arcana and the Major Arcana with there being 78 cards total. Arcana is a Latin word that means to have secrets. The cards are all filled with deep meanings and each of the images mean something different. The cards have numbers 0 to 21 and each of the images will work with your subconscious to help you to find out how the card relates to things in your life or spiritual life.
All of the images of the tarot cards have different symbols. They are images and symbols that work with your subconscious mind to guide you and to give you information.
The Minor Arcana have four different suits including the Wands, Pentacles, Swords or Cups. They have different meanings and symbols, and they are based on who you are. The wands for example work with the fire element and they mean that you are creative and energetic. The pentacles work with the earth element, and they mean material things. The cups work with the water element, and they are your emotions, and the swords work with the air element, and they are about your intellect.

I Ching
I Ching is a Chinese system that has horizontal lines, and the lines can be broken or solid. Each symbolizes your yin and yang, and the hexagrams have an upper and lower part called the trigrams. These all have different meanings and patterns.
There are different tools that you can use to open up your subconscious and each person communicates with themselves differently. You can try different tools of divination or even things such as a muscle test or a kinesiological test.
How Do the Tests Work?
Our body keeps all of the experiences that we have in our subconscious. These change when you are stressed or when you feel pressured. The experiences with stress or with peace work in your muscles and are strong.
You can do this test with one or two loops or a finger, a snap test, fingertip test or even the elbow test. Ask a question for your body that can answer with a yes or no. Ask something that is obvious to test yourself and to see if your body is able to answer it.
Testing Methods
One way you can test is to do the fingertip test. This is when you grip your thumb and middle finger and form a circle. Bend your index finger of the other hand and try to disconnect the circle that you made. If you can do this without it being hard then the sentence that you say isn’t true.
Another thing you can do to test this is to face north and meditate on your aura. Close your eyes and rub your hands together and then put them on your kidneys. Ask yourself a question out loud and let your body lean. If it goes forward it means yes and if you lean back, it means no.
No matter which kind of test that you decide on you need to know that the results aren’t always real. If you are going through high stress or tiredness, then your test might not work properly. This happens the same with tarot cards, I Ching, runes or anything else.
