B/ Prompting for Factual Information: 5 X W + H
Who – what – where – when – why – how
AFTER REVEILING SOME IMPRESSION, FEELING, SENSE, SIGN,...
Examples
-

So, who might this refer to?
What might this link to in your life?
What period in your life might this relate to?
How might this be significant to you?
Can you see why I’m getting this impression?

3 The Veiled Question
Is a request for information, worded to sound like a
statement. - The psychic acts as if giving information, when in
fact he is extracting it.
Examples
Instead of asking “Does your work involve traveling?” The psychic
can say:
“I’m picking up a vague impression here of traveling… but also of
work. I don’t know if this is now or sometime in the past; but feel this
is something you can relate to.”
Everybody faces large financial purchases at some time: a house, a
car, some large electric device, … so instead of asking, you can say:
“There’s an indication here that has to do with money. Some sort of
decision that could have consequences for quite some time to come.”
4 The Extended Veiled Question
Weave a web of words so comprehensively as to snare the
client the illusion that you are telling, and not asking.
