Tea leaf readings can sometimes be very intimate.  Not that they reveal anything particularly racy or scandalous, but sometimes the images have very deep and powerful meaning to the people you are interpreting for.  I don’t know how this happens, but I always feel completely honored to witness those moments for people when something truly touches them and has deep meaning.    Here are a couple of examples:

I read a cup of tea leaves for a woman recently at a bridal shower.  She was quiet during much of the reading, and I didn’t feel that she was really in to it until the last few minutes.  One of the last images I saw was in the bottom of the cup.  It was of a man in a cage with a flying bird just outside of the cage.  I told her that this was someone who felt isolated and alone and maybe even trapped in a situation.  She would be hearing from him soon or he would get the information he needed to free himself from what was hindering him.  She started crying and said that she had been thinking of this person and worried that they had just gone off and tried to deal with a hard situation.  She felt so relieved that she would hear from him or know that his troubles would be leaving him.

Another time I saw clumps of tea leaves that created the images of 3 little bears in the bottom of the cup.  This was interesting to me and I said “Wow!  Three bears!’  The woman I was reading for didn’t miss a beat.  “Oh, those are my dogs.  I call them my Three Little bears!”

My favorite might have to have been last Friday afternoon in a department store setting.  A lovely lady sat down with me to have her tea leaves read.  Again, the image was the last one mentioned and in the bottom of her cup.  I see an angel walking a dog on a leash.  Tears welled up in her eyes.  “That’s my dad,” she said, “He always loved his dogs.  And he’s gone now.”  She went on to express how she felt connected to her father just then as the tea cup reminded her that his spirit was still around watching over her like an angel.

You never know what you will see in a tea cup!  It’s a fun experience as a private reading or with a group!   Contact me at laura@lauraewest.com for more information about parties, events and private readings!
