Predicting by using tealeaves was in the 19th century in Europe quite popular,
but nowadays it is hardly practiced. Not, because the techniques were that
extremely difficult, but much more because almost everyone uses teabags in stead
of just unpacked tealeaves. That causes, that no leaves are left in the cup
after drinking.
So if you feel invited to this prediction method, the first thing to do is
drinking tea at that 'old-fashioned' way. You need for each cup one teaspoon
with tea and one extra for the teapot. You'll notice it tastes nice, but if you
plan to use it too for prediction, I suggest the use of white cups, because it
gives a better background for the dark leaves. Each person in your 'tea session'
who wants to hear something about their personal future, should leave a little
liquid behind in their cup. This is stirred to let the leaves floating in stead
lying quiet on the bottom of the cup. Immediately after that is done, the liquid
part is carefully poured out. By doing this, the tealeaves stick behind on the
inside and the bottom of the cup.
Than comes the moment for you to fix a strong and deep concentration on those
tealeaves. Close your eyes halfway and give your powers of imagination 'free
way'. Try to discover in these tealeaves a known picture, i.e. a book, an axe,
trees, a hat, etc...etc... The following step is the
Interpretation of that
discovered picture. You can use for that the next explanations:
Anchor:

Trees:

Such a picture that is close to the edge of the teacup points to a time period
from three till six weeks on the things that are predicted. If the picture is on
the bottom it means a time period of at least two years before that prediction
will happen. In the middle of the inside means about a year.
By training and experience you will become able to interpret more pictures as
are described here.
Don't forget: as with every prediction method, it will only work as it's fully
implemented in yourself. The fewest doubt will make that your efforts to predict
will fail. (The 'client' need not believe that).
