Create a Conscious Connection to your Inner Voice
An oracle deck can be a beautiful way to strengthen your intuition. The Conscious Connection deck is designed to help you connect to fundamental intuitive tools. Use this deck as often as you would like to (re)connect to your own inner voice.
How to use this deck:
One way to use a deck like this is to shuffle the cards as often as you want. Then, select a card from the deck. As you examine the card, allow yourself to breathe into whatever message comes to you. Notice how it feels. Notice what images, sounds, colors, and/or messages the card evokes. Journal or meditate on what comes up.
You may also use the key below to give your intuition a little nudge. Remember, oracle cards are prescriptive, not predictive!
The key is listed in alphabetical order, for ease. You will note, though, that the deck is made up of groups of categories; i.e., chakra, four directions, phases of the moon, etc. Feel free to use this deck in whatever way makes you feel good!
