As you are putting your energy into shuffling the cards, it is essential that you feel good when it comes time to get started. Other indications: you must always draw the cards in one and the same direction and not give the deck to someone else.

When you shuffle the cards, think about your question, cut the deck, then lay them out on the table, face down and choose some while clearing your head. Good to know, you shouldn't always ask the same question, it won't help.
