|  post 4 - step 6 HOLISTIC ACTRESS {X O} EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED
SPOILER!!: notes
Step One: Flip cup over onto piece of parchment and then trace outside rim of the cup to create the 'saucer' out of the area made by doing this (Leaves on saucers don't have much purpose on their beginner readings without "real" saucers"). Retrieve 1 teaspoon of tealeaves from boxes at each table.
Step Two: Fill cup 3/4 full with hot water from cauldrons and add tea leaves.
Step Three: Allow tea to brew for 2 minutes. Clear your mind and meditate. No talking please.
Step Four: Let tea cool a bit and then drink. Try not to swallow many leaves. If you are right-handed, lift your cup with your left. If left-handed, drink with your right. If ambidextrous, reach for your cup, stop, and then use the other hand.
Once relaxed, identify the issue foremost in your mind. As you attempt to think of nothing in particular, is there a stubborn thought that keeps returning to your attention? If so, that is the subject of this reading. Focus on that thought. If nothing in particular comes to mind, then this will be a general tealeaf reading. Focus on your breath and the taste of the tea.
Leave a small amount of tea at the bottom of your cup.
Step Five: Hold your nearly empty teacup in your hand and give it three good swirls. The tea leaves will disperse around the interior of cup. Gently dump out the remaining liquid by turning your teacup over into a saucer.
Wait at least three breaths before turning your cup back over.
Step Six: Because your cup has no handle, begin reading from 12 o'clock. Make a notation of the first symbol you see. Mentally divide the cup into three sections: rim, middle and base.
Rim - area is above the tea level when you first poured your tea represents the current moment in time.
Middle - area between the rim and bottom, represents near future (2 weeks)
*Both the rim and middle section represent influences in your outcome.
Base - The bottom of the cup below the middle section, represents the ultimate answer or conclusion.
Step Seven: Look up recorded symbols in Textbook and record your reading results.
She glanced into the cup at the spot that she assumed would be twelve o’clock and tried to denote what the shapes were at this location. Sure there were things on the rim but some of them just looked like smears and clumps while others were a little bit more defined and shape-like.
Around the rim of the cup there was a clump of tea leaves that looked most definitely like a lamb…so, lamb she didn’t know what that meant but they were sweet, and docile. She jotted that down on her notes before trying to find the next shape was just slightly below it looked like an anchor. The moment she saw that she beamed.
She loved anchors after all and it was like coming home, finding one in her cup that is. The next thing she did was to move her eyes down the cup to try and find the next shapes in the cup. More splotches were all she found at first until she middle area of the cup. A dragon. She glanced up and smiled, yeah dragons were cool.
When she moved further down the to right above the line where the bottom of the cup started she saw it. What she had spotted was something that looked surprisingly like a nail. She jotted it down and looked at the other bits of leaves around the base of the cup. Another shape she had spotted and immediately smiled at the base of the cup was that of a rabbit. The one she doubted most of all; the last one she had seen was a ring.
That was preposterous right? She was right wasn’t she.
