Miraculously, in the real life settings this is all achieved without the distraction of commercials for feminine hygiene products, exercise equipment, or emergency rescue products designed to scare vulnerable senior citizens into purchasing their products. Alas they often miss out on the tidy happily ever after storybook.
As with any purchase or investment it is imperative to be armed with good information and a plan before you spend your valuable resources. Here are some tips that will help you navigate around hype, smoke and mirrors and find the resources require.
Do your homework first and ask for references.
You can ask your friends. If you go to a specific place for a reading, and you are respectful when you ask, any reputable reader they will not mind you asking for a reference. Understand that this is an interview and you are only asking questions that you would ask of anyone who provides a service for you. They are the same things you would ask of your surgeon, carpenter or mechanic. Your reader may be new in terms of reading professionally or perhaps new to the area and they may not be able to give you a list of people to call - but they will not mind your asking. If they become defensive take note.
Ask if they operate by a specific code of ethics, and do not be intimidated to ask what they are.
It is essential that you know this. When you decide to make yourself vulnerable and transparent it is something sacred and special, any ethical reader does not treat that lightly and will treat you with dignity, compassion and respect. But consider for a moment: you would not go to your beautician for a face lift. Don’t go to your Tarot Reader and expect them to perform medical and legal services.
You should at all times be treated without judgment, shame or be pressured, and your reading should be explicitly confidential.
