Living Tarot
Hello! Welcome to Living Tarot, a podcast for those who want to bring intuition into their daily lives. My name is Sheila Masterson and I am the creator of Practical Tarot for Everyday Intuitives. Are you sick of the same Instagram perfect "spiritual" folks telling you how to achieve alignment? Me too! There is so much vague advice out there on how to connect with intuition and spirituality. In this age of overwhelm and intense anxiety, so many of us are looking to connect to something real and raw. That's why I created Living Tarot. Each week on this podcast I will share my own experience navigating intuition and interview quests about how they heard the call of intuition, embraced the adventure, and embodied the tarot along the way. Join us and learn how you can stop second-guessing, empower yourself through intuition and live intentionally with the tarot. And I should know a thing or two. I'm a tarot reader and teacher, an energy healer, and a medium and I use all of my skills to help clients connect with their own individual meaning and purpose in their lives and take inspired action. After years of second-guessing and outsourcing wisdom to other people, I have finally put the tools together to help you navigate the fears, doubts, and anxiety that comes up with doing this critical work.

How to Get the Most from Tarot Spreads
In Episode 70 of Living Tarot, I wrap up season two of Living Tarot looking at how you can get the most from reading tarot spreads. While spreads aren’t for everyone, they are a great way to expand from single cards readings and start to go deeper on topics that you need more robust information about. I walk through a simple three-card spread including where to start and how to see the story in the spread. I explain how to zoom out and look at the larger themes of the spread to get even more information. I give examples of common misconceptions about spreads and how to know if one might be beneficial for you. It’s been a pleasure to host another season of Living Tarot and I am so looking forward to coming back for season three soon. If you want to keep up with me in the meantime, make sure to sign up for my email list below to get special new and full moon emails and find out when season three goes live.

Lessons in Tarot and Intuition - Season 1 Wrap Up
On Episode 50, I wrap up season one of Living Tarot with some of the biggest things I’ve learned from reading tarot for myself and clients over the last few years. I really struggled with how to wrap up something that has been such a passion project for me but this felt the most natural. I discuss how to cultivate intuition in little ways over time and the fact that it’s normal to struggle to trust yourself. I speak to the fact that tarot is a tool that can easily help you build that intuitive muscle over time. I got into details on reading for romantic relationships and what to do when you’re feeling overwhelmed or emotional and having a hard time getting a clear reading. Ultimately developing intuition is really about learning to have faith in yourself and building it slowly over time. Finally, I discuss some of my favorite guest episodes of the season. I’m extremely excited to come back for season two at some point in Leo season. If you want to be the first to hear about the season two launch you can join my email list below.

Ask Sheila: Inconsistent Intuition and Reading Tarot Spreads
On Episode 43 of Living Tarot I dive back into my email bag to answer some listener questions. So what exactly do you do when your intuition doesn't show up on a regular basis? How do you have patience when you're just starting out? How do you even start when you're a beginner learning to read a full tarot spread? I discuss the realities of learning to trust intuition in your tarot reading practice. I share some pointers about how to have patience when you’re still learning to connect with intuition. I talk all about building a foundation for your tarot practice that allows intuition to flow even on the “bad” days. I also answer a listener question about how to approach reading spreads when you are a brand new beginner.
