The Ethical Guidance
Directory makes it easy to find a reader
you can trust since all members are pre-screened and abide by guidelines
and ethical standards. Below are some general suggestions if you're
searching online for readers.
As you browse the
Internet, looking for potential readers, examine their site's text
carefully, evaluating the words they use. Ask yourself if the
manner in which they describe their approach to reading resonates with
your own values. If you sense any form of manipulation then keep looking.
The first time that
you speak with a reader, "tune in" to their energy and
communication style. Does your reader seem peaceful and
calm? Does s/he seem like someone who is clear? Or does s/he
seem emotionally imbalanced? Usually your feelings
will let you know if you're "getting a good vibe" from a
reader. Trust your intuition. Just because someone has
special abilities doesn't mean they've done enough personal growth work
to be able to read with clarity.
Whenever you're
receiving consultation from any professional (whether it's a psychic,
tarot reader, counselor, medical doctor, etc.) it's wise to compare
their advice to your own intuition. Remember that no matter what
someone's training or gifts are, nearly everyone has some degree of ego
which can interfere with their perception. Your inner guidance is
always present if you access it, so "check in" with your
feelings, and don't blindly accept anything you are being told just
because someone is labeled an expert. If what you're told doesn't
resonate, don't follow the advice...get a second opinion.
When you're getting a
reading, it may be tempting to focus solely upon what will happen in the
future. Keep in mind that you influence the future
through the choices that you make in the present. What will
happen in the future becomes less predictable the further you look
ahead, because the choices that you make between now and then will
influence potential outcomes. Therefore, if you ask your reader questions
that will help you clarify what is happening at this time in your life,
your increased awareness will help you to create the kind of future that
you desire.

Do You Trust? to familiarize yourself with "red
flags."
