TEALEAF READING


Albert Einstein said: We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
He also said: Imagination is more important than knowledge.







We have all experienced the frustration of not being able to recall the title of a book or a name and the expression ‘it’s on the tip of my tongue’, the harder we think about it the more elusive it becomes. Eventually we move on only to wake up around 3 am with the name or title so clear in the mind it feels etched there, only to forget it again by the morning. By clearing our minds of cluttered thoughts, we relax and allow new ideas to flow in.










The art of tealeaf reading depends on clearing the mind. The mind should be like a blank canvas waiting for inspiration. Preparing a cup for a tea leaf reading is a way of achieving this.




In my video on tealeaf reading I use teabags and explain a little about the geometric symbols they represent. The ritual preparation for each different geometric shape is part of the mind clearing process that helps us mentally step back from the mundane and embrace the mysterious. Symbols connect us to a world language, understood deep within the minds of all cultures. It’s a language of creative abundance.


Albert Einstein said: The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
He also said: If you want your children to be bright read them fairy tales. If you want them to be brilliant then read them even more fairy tales.

Hi Amber,

I have been enjoying your youtube videos. It seems that books of symbols conflict with one another, quite a bit. Is it important to work with a book of symbols for tasseography, or is it more important to just go with my own meanings? Thanks!
