Readings F.A.Q.

“Guides” are also called Guardian Angels, Spirits or various other names. My name for them is “Guides”. Whatever you call them, their role is the same. They are a group of entities whose sole purpose is to help you get the experiences you came for, and to help you share the gifts you came into this World with. They are advanced souls and are no longer incarnating on the planet the way you and I are. They have already experienced everything that being in a human body can teach them and they are capable of teaching and helping you.

They know absolutely everything there is to know about you and how you got to where you currently are. They know where your present path is leading and how to change that, if needed. They are a virtual library of information for your highest good.

I’d describe them as a panel of experts in the fields that you yourself are working on. For example, if you came in to experience and learn things about relationships, one of your Guides will undoubtedly be specialized in that area. If you need to grasp the full spectrum of a particular emotion, you’ll have a Guide(s) dedicated to that area of your experience. You will also have Guides whose expertise is in the areas of your special gifts.

When you think about it, it’s pretty nice to know that you have an entire panel of experts, specifically skilled, just to help you on your path through life.

Technically, I have to say that it’s possible, simply because there have been RARE exceptions. The vast majority of the time the answer is going to be “No she cannot be your Guide”. It’s almost unheard of for a Guide to take a physical form on Earth. They simply do not need to do that anymore. No one that you’ve known here in this lifetime on Earth will probably fall into the definition of Guide as I have learned it to mean. Only advanced souls take that position, and they are no longer incarnating. (see “Who or what are Guides” above)

Loved ones who have crossed over CAN and DO watch over us, visit us, communicate with us, help us out occasionally, give us warning and/or direction etc. They do not work in the same capacity though, as what I call Guides, even though they sometimes appear to be performing similar roles. They even show up during readings sometimes and offer assistance in varying ways. The just do not completely fit the definition of Guides. You can always ask that question during your reading though if you want to see if your loved one is one of those exceptions.

The best that anyone can do is tell you how your future looks as of right now. In other words, your Guides can tell you what your probable future holds, as long as you stay on your current path. They usually stick to the more significant events rather than a “play by play” of your upcoming week.

The Guides also point out future events that currently look turbulent and offer direction on how to change that. Though the lessons we came to learn are already set, how we experience those lessons depends on our perspectives and the choices we make.  That’s why you can change the circumstances, time frame and emotional impact of a lesson, but not usually the lesson itself.

We all need to learn and grow. We do not need to be completely miserable or devastated to do so. Your Guides can help you get your lessons in a more balanced way by allowing you insights to your future, giving you an opportunity to make adjustments that can make your lessons easier.

Getting a reading with me is very much like visiting a friend. It is a relaxed environment. The only difference you might notice (if you get a reading in person) is that when I talk to you I look you in the eye, and when I’m translating (reading for you) I tend to look off at a blank space on the wall. I do this because I often get visual cues to better explain what your Guides are saying. Looking at something visually busy causes double-imposed images.

I get all of the information directly from your Guides. I do not use any cards or crystal balls, nor do I enter into any type of trance state in order to get this information for you.

If you get a reading in person, we just sit on the couch, usually with our shoes kicked off for comfort, and I translate. There is no judgment before, during or after a reading. Judgment is something that does not exist on the other side and therefore does not ever enter a reading.

Though the atmosphere of a reading with me is very laid back, the information you get is not what I would call casual. It is specific and to the point. Some people call it a “no holds barred” type of reading, without the tenseness. Your Guides always relay things from a place of understanding and compassion and that comes through clearly during a reading.

Most people’s readings last about 45 minutes to an hour. Some people’s readings run longer because they have more questions, or maybe more complex situations going on in their lives at the time. A few people run shorter than that.

I can continue to translate information from your Guides as long as they have something to say. I cannot make a reading longer than that, obviously.

A reading can be as short as you want or need it to be. You can stop a reading at any point for any reason. I will still have to finish telling you what they’ve already said though, since I’m translating a few seconds behind what they say. This is nice to know for people who are on tight time schedules or budgets. I’ve found though, that your Guides already know what the constraints are, and adjust accordingly.

Regardless of how much time you have scheduled for, you only pay for the time that we used. 30 minutes is minimum charge, and then on 15 minute increments beyond that.
