Raising your vibration before reading
nisaba
I shuffle my cards. That sets up the reading perfectly. When the cards "feel done" we're all good to go, them and me. It puts both the deck and you in the right state automatically.
Sometimes, trying too hard backfires, as you start to doubt yourself and the cards. Just *do* it.

This is just my practice, but I separate my cards that are used during channeling sessions from my divination tools. Personally, I don't use cards to establish connection. I will occasionally pull cards for the querent and the same rule applies... separate your tools. In the past, I have used oracle cards for this (particularly angel decks) and I find that oracle work quite well for these purposes.
There's the contamination aspect when mixing tools, which means you will have to be thorough about cleaning them often. Sometimes the spirits may continue to want to contact post session and if you have a tool that has been used for this connection, they may show up in the cards long after the session. Particularly annoying if you use your cards for self-evaluation. It's a good idea to perform a protection prayer prior to this exercise in which you explicitly state... you are only allowing communication during this session and this session only and you always begin with a protection prayer and ask for divine guidance before you open up... if you feel it is even remotely shaky, the strength of the protection or the strength of the connection, do not proceed further and begin the prayer to close the connection. It should never be forced. If you mix decks sometimes spirits do return for whatever purpose, and I've had some "play" with my cards in the past... my loved ones used to this, but then that is fine... but I usually close the connection with a prayer for myself and the spirit post-session and re-establish the wall of protection. Just like any relationship, it's always important to maintain boundaries... separating the tools helps with this practice.

Their intentions manifest at a certain vibrational frequency as do all intentions and thought forms.

It's the finer auric vibration we affect when we meditate, contemplate, fast, pray, burn incense, eat vegetarian food, or induce alpha waves in any other way. Tarot reading is a contemplative art in it's own right which will induce the same thing but not as quickly, it takes a while to get into the mind state needed to read tarot but the practice in itself will raise your vibration.
We can wilfully change our note but within the larger scale of things we cannot jump an octave through such practices, we must climb slowly towards the state of grace, which is why drugs that enable spring boarding can be dangerous leaving us too open.

If you want to practice raising the level of your vibrations, these are all excellent methods. However, as Nisaba already stated, simply shuffling the cards and setting the intention of being at a higher vibration is the most effective and straightforward method. Mind over matter....if you believe that shuffling and intention setting is enough, than it most certainly will be enough. You are ultimately the one in control of the reading. And, the more experience you have, the more you will realize you can connect to Spirit without a lot of fuss and bother. Spirit is always there. Just my opinion and two cents, of course.

There are things you can do before the reading mentioned in this thread that will incrementally raise your vibration, but if you really want a clear connection to spirit you need to raise your vibration away from the tarot table.
The number one way is to make a daily habit of meditation. In my opinion this is a must. There is no better way to communicate with your higher self and assimilate 5th dimensional information into your 3rd dimensional life.
Make sure you are eating only high vibrational foods. You are what you eat, and if you eat foods that have a low vibration, then you are taking on that vibration. An animal who has lived it's whole life in captivity, pumped full of steroids, and then suddenly slaughtered against its will is about as negative an energy as you can eat. That energy does not leave the flesh. It is transferred to you when you eat it. This is why a vegan, or at least a vegetarian, diet is so beneficial in raising your vibration. Processed food, sugar, caffeine, are also low vibration and taking you away from connecting to spirit.
Sodium fluoride is another problem. Depending on where you live (you can check online) your local government might be putting it into the water. They say it's to help your teeth, but what it's really doing is building up in your pineal gland, calcifying it and basically turning it into a stone. This is the organ that controls the third eye, and you want this to be as healthy as possible. Toothpaste, deodorants, and deep cleanings at the dentist are to be avoided. There are alternative products that work just as well (I would say better) without the sodium fluoride.
There are more ways you can raise your vibration in order to foster a better connection with your higher self and thereby have more accurate readings such as spending time in nature, expressing yourself creatively, spending time in employment you love, facing your emotions rather than suppressing them but the three I went into detail about are definitely the most important.

I agree with all points Beancrew49 (et all.) makes except to focus in on diet.
We are omnivores IMO - so conversion to a veg or even more extreme vegan diet can be a challenge (and infact vegan in-the-long-run can be unhealthy). Plus more so, with our generations of engendering of the idea, that low fat high carb is good (now being uncovered that this causes problems, and there's still lots of resistance from "the establishment" in many places to this. Though Sweden I understand, is the only country that has embraced this shift).
Without this adjustment to these diets, it again, has long-term unhealthy impact (I stress IMO because of course mileage will differ here. Diet is such an individual thing).
If sticking to meat keep it as organic as possible, since they are treated better and pumped less full of stuff.
Our environment is so polluted, and how we farm even plants - so contorted these days - that it's a question of "choosing your poisons" - again IMO.
I particularly like these points:
1
- and I will add here, back to the diet point - high carb diet (with low fat) - which is generally our accepted modern diet - makes our minds "busy", making it more difficult to meditate. Because - carbs are still sugar - so we're mostly on a sugar high even if we've cut out confectionary.

I don't want to derail this thread into a diet discussion, and I completely agree with you that some of us are just meant to eat meat, but I disagree that humans are carnivores. I think we are carnivores now because we were intentionally mislead as a species into believing this. I'm not sure how much you know about our Archonic influences, and it's not a discussion meant for this thread, but the human race has undergone some deception. Personally speaking, it was not hard in any sense of the word to switch to a plant based diet. I LOVED meat for about 33 years. I ate it everyday. My decision to switch to a vegetarian and then vegan diet was one I realized I had to make, for my physical (and more importantly) mental and spiritual health, and it was the easiest and best decision I've ever made. As to the implication that a vegan diet is unhealthy in the long run, I think that you have to know what you're doing and those who failed didn't do it correctly. Those who have are closer to ascension than most others. Again, this is all based on my personal experience and you have to do what is right for you.

Hi Beancrew,
Thank you so much for responding. All of your points resonate with me. I am trying to build a daily meditation practice at the moment. I also became vegetarian about two years ago when I suddenly found that I could not meat anymore. I have tried on two occasions to move to a vegan diet (which is my ultimate aim) but have not managed to maintain it. However, I do think it will make a huge difference in my life in general (not just on the spiritual) so I will be moving towards this in the new year.
Your point on sodium fluoride is really interesting - I am lucky that it is not added to my water supply, but I will look at the other products you have mentioned.
I have changed my career in the last two years and worked very hard on dealing with my emotions - things which I firmly believe have felt bring me to where I am now - so I couldn't agree with you more.
Thank you for your sound advice and taking the time to respond to me.
Joss
