How to Prepare for your Light Dialogue Reading

Take time before the consultation to consider what is important to you

This refines the consultation and makes your dialogue more specific.

Questions are more useful than topics.

Compile your questions by considering --

How do questions help to focus the session?
There are several reasons that clear questions are preferable.

1) Where to attend

The guides (and I) are using the question to determine where to step into the flow of information and sensory input that is given to me- it is as if I am watching a river, the sky, the birds, and could focus on the details of the water, the shapes of the clouds and even the the way the light shines upon the feathers on the birds.

If you said- tell me about the river, or just tell me what you see, you can appreciate how much information there could be and yet you might be frustrated because it may take a time to focus on the part that you are really interested in and which will be most useful to you.

So a clear question focuses our work. I listen to your question and attend to the information flow and get a sense of the reply, or listen to the words as I am given them and relay them to you.

2) The question you ask indicates the level of insight you are willing and ready to hear.

A clear question indicates the level of the insights for which you are asking. Instead of the reader having to decide which part of the information is pertinent for you. Your question indicates what you are ready to attend to. It is about permission, which I would rather have and which Spirit has instructed me to use in a particular way for the most ethical type of reading.

The question makes you accountable for the work of deciding upon the question to ask, makes it clear that you have given permission to hear the reply to that query, and helps the reader to know where to attend in the flow of information.

It takes a bit of work to decide on the questions, and that is useful work-also because your own intuition is at work while you decide upon them, and many times you have a sense of the answer when you formulate the question clearly.

Be at ease

Once you have worked at arriving at your question, be at ease. Your guides will often help you to edit your question during the reading to be more useful if they sense that your question is not big enough, or if you are asking in a way that limits you- once they know if you are willing to engage with that question. I have heard them say, "What you are really asking is...." Which is very helpful indeed!

Also, it is more useful to ask about those areas of your own life with which you have influence- "What can I do to make my relationship with so and so more peaceful" is a more useful question than, for example, "when will so and so be nicer to me?" As you are well aware we are all given the gift of free will, so your questions are more helpful when they address your own sphere of influence, yourself, your own attitudes and your choices of how to respond.

Additional considerations

You may bring photos of people who are important to you, living or not, if you would like to have them included in your dialogue. The photos are helpful but not a necessity.

You may receive insights that help you make your decisions in a more informed way.

The direction you decide to take is up to you.

A Light Dialogue is provided as a source of spiritual development and support and is provided in addition to, but not in place of, psychological therapy or medical treatment. Do not use a dialogue as an excuse not to take care of your self. A healthy life comes from taking advantage of all the resources available to you including medical, emotional, and spiritual avenues.

All Light Dialogues are confidential. If you decide to tell someone about your consultation, make revelations thoughtfully. You are responsible for the effects that revealing the content of a personal session has on a third party.

Even though we may bring very serious issues to the experience, a light and kind atmosphere prevails.
