How to Get the Most out of a Reading

Before you get a reading from someone, do a reading for yourself, or tune into your own intuitive wisdom, it’s important to prepare yourself so the experience can give you helpful information. It’s equally important to be able to absorb the information in a usable and healthy way that ultimately benefits you. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your intuitive experience: 
 
*Come with a clear head
Approach your reading when you’re calm because heightened emotions of any kind make it hard to connect intuitively or focus on the information you get. 
 
*Be open minded 
Ask yourself if you’re scared to take an honest look at your situation and just want reassurance instead of the truth.   If you’re afraid you can’t deal with certain answers, ask intuitive guidance to show you how to open up.  Remember, seeing things clearly will help you make positive changes in your life!  You’ll get more out of your reading if you’re receptive to information that might be different than your present “story” or expectations.

Relationship Building

Building a relationship during times of stress (or the hubbub of the holiday season) sometimes seems like the last thing we want to do.

With everything else seeming more important, it’s easy to fall into familiar traps where we see the other person as our aggravating, progress-blocking, obstacle who is doing whatever they’re doing to hurt us… on purpose.

Often this is not true at all, in reality it’s just a distraction from intimacy manufactured from conclusions we’re jumping to, or the desire to protect ourselves without really knowing the full story.

However, there are times when the other person really is trying to get under our skin or deliver a few well placed emotional punches.

No matter how innocently it begins, without thoughtfulness it always escalates.

A poorly chosen word, a reaction, spines going up, assumptions made, angry energy brewing, pretty soon everyone is pointing the finger at someone else and relationship building is the furthest thing from anyone’s mind. But when faced with this contentious energy, we actually have an amazing opportunity to join and to build the relationship to an even higher level of connection.
