I have so many precious memories of teaching over the years. There’s nothing quite like a roomful of people who are just as fascinated by the nonordinary as I am. And who are ready to jump into all things psychic, metaphysical, and spiritual.
Years ago, a group of us spent a sweltering summer hanging out in a haunted old schoolroom in Seattle, where I was sharing what I knew about psychic development at the time. One evening, I walked in with an electric kettle, some loose tea leaves, and a dozen teacups.
We spent the next two hours reading each other’s tea leaves and not only had a blast, but were also able to pull out some very evocative results. The exercise really brought home the divination possibilities that lie within almost any pattern, random or otherwise. Spirit is always showing us signs. All we need to do is shift our focus and open our intuitive senses.
Here’s a simple way to read tea leaves that you can use to warm up your intuition:
🫖 Brew a cup of loose-leaf tea.
☺️ Drink slowly, with attention.
💫 When finished, gently swirl the cup three times.
☕️ Turn it upside down on a saucer and let it rest.
🍂 When you turn it back over, notice the shapes, lines, and empty spaces left by the leaves.
😌 Don’t analyze—just notice what you feel and what the images remind you of.
🤎 There’s no right answer.
🔮 This is about listening, seeing, feeling, and tuning in with your inner senses.
🌟 You might be surprised by what you “get”! Just because a practice is simple doesn’t mean it isn’t powerful.
