Have you listened to your
inner voice lately?EVERYONE has INTUITION and PSYCHIC ABILITIES. The Tarot is a mystical system that can help unleash your psychic powers. It is a tool for Divination but it is also a sacred text encoded in symbols and pictures. It offers us a direct link to the vast Wisdom of the Unconscious Mind. The Tarot archetypes can also be used as centerpieces for meditation on metaphysical themes that are most relevant to our life path and spiritual/soul growth.
Imagine a tool that can aid you in your personal power, self understanding, mastery of life lessons, and guide you into the future!
Please join Geraldine Amaral, author of Tarot Celebrations: Honoring the Inner Voice, as she helps us explore the cards as a pathway for spiritual self-knowledge and as a set of sacred teachings. This is a hands-on class that will teach you the basics of Tarot reading, including how to find and care for your deck, basic card meanings, how to calculate your Life Path Cards, and proper ethics and etiquette when casting a Tarot spread.
By the end of the two sessions, you will have the foundation needed to do basic Tarot Readings as well as receive messages from meditation on the Tarot's potent imagery.
You will know that the wisdom of the cards is inside you.
Finally, a class that will demystify the secrecy and misunderstanding that surrounds the Tarot.
Bring your favorite Tarot deck, or decks will be provided for those who do not have one. If you are interested in learning to give Tarot Readings for yourself or for others, please join us.

There is a meditation method that works and you can learn it in one weekend.
Primordial Sound Meditation uses individually selected sounds of nature called mantras to disconnect us from the activity of life. These primordial sounds are based on the vibration the universe was creating at the moment of your birth. For More details or to register, click HERE.MEDITATION is critical to developing intuition. By quieting the mind and all the ego chatter, we can hear the wisdom of the inner voice.

The Secrets of the I Ching
With Geraldine Amaral

Palisades Community Church,

The I Ching (The Book of Changes) is the OLDEST ORACLE of all -- over 5,000 years old! The I Ching is an ancient mystical system that offers an Oriental philosophical perspective to give you deep insights into situations and personal problems. It is a direct link to the vast wisdom of the unconscious mind and combines Confucian and Taoist philosophy. It is considered to be a sacred text encoded in symbols and metaphoric language.
The "hexagrams" found in the I Ching can be used as centerpieces for meditation on metaphysical themes that are relevant to your life path and spiritual/soul growth. Imagine a tool that can aid you in your personal power, self understanding, mastery of life lessons, and provide guidance on all your life issues!
This OVERVIEW class will get you started with the I Ching as both a mystical and practical tool to develop your intuition as well as for guidance along your life path. This is a strictly HANDS-ON class -- each person will learn how to "throw" the coins to consult the I Ching as well as learn some guidelines on how to interpret the metaphoric language. Please join me in an exploration of the I Chings as a pathway for spiritual self-knowledge and as a set of sacred teachings.

Psychic Tarot
Sunday, April 151pm to 5pm
Arlington Metaphysical Chapel
$601pm to 5pm - $60
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." (Albert Einstein)
EVERYONE has psychic ability -- whether you call it intuition, the inner voice, or a gut feeling.
The Tarot has many uses and many voices. In this hands-on afternoon, we will focus on the intuitive and psychic use of tarot -- as a sacred gift. Tarot Cards can work as "receivers" of spiritual guidance. They are an ancient tool for communicating with your inner guidance and their main purpose is to help us communicate with Spirit, and to enlist the aid of spiritual forces.Tarot is also described as a metaphorical language that can lead you straight to your spiritual and intuitive center. It is a "key" that will unlock the wisdom and guidance that resides within.
The language of the Universe is symbolic. The Tarot is a rich mixture of symbols and archetypes designed to allow the Universe to speak to you through the cards -- in its own language.
So, forget about what the cards "mean!" Join us in this fun and interactive class as we use the Tarot archetypes to guide us, to inspire us, and help us make mindful decisions. After this class, you will have the basic tools needed to activate the wisdom within to provide guidance for yourself and others.
In this interactive and highly experiential class, you will learn:
** How to use the Tarot images to trigger intuitive insights
** Learn your specific Intuition Type
** Determine your "DNA" Tarot Card and interpret its
message
** The Nine Key Steps needed to transcend your everyday consciousness to a deeper, transpersonal awareness
No experience with Tarot needed, only a desire to develop your inner knowing.Bring your favorite Tarot deck(s) and decks will be provided for those who do not have one. Click HERE to register.

Comments about Geraldine's Tarot Classes:
Approach was excellent in balancing information and intuition. I am inspired and encouraged in a way I never have been before. Martha Saering, Washington, DC
Geraldine's teaching style and personal warmth allows you to absorb new material with ease, and to implement new skills and information with confidence. If you are a beginner or experienced Tarot reader, I highly recommend any of her classes. Recently, I attended her Empowerment Reading class. This is a day long class, that offers the opportunity to interact with the other students, do individual work and begin the process of learning how to give readings that empower your client. The day flew by(!) and it was a lot of fun. If you are looking for an environment and teacher of Tarot that is grounded, practical and caring, attend one of her classes. You will be very glad that you did. - Kathy, Rockville, MD
Geraldine's Tarot classes are so excellent that they feel like a public service. She communicates that basic wisdom of the cards in a way to help her students learn how tarot can be used as a powerful tool for spiritual growth in their own lives. I highly recommend Geraldine's classes. - Suzanne Turner
Geraldine has a gift for making each student feel successful and validated. - Ann Moore, Washington, DC
I've had Tarot cards for years, but this is the first time I've understood them. I am excited about working with this tool -- everything about the class was beautifully balanced. Thank you thank you. - Ariel
Tarot has changed my life in a very positive way. In your class I felt like I woke up from a dream and now I am fully awake and aware! - Luz Ortiz, Arlington, VA
