Question 2

Encouraging cooperative interpretation

Answer 2

“I won’t necessarily always know exactly what the cards are trying to say. Sometimes it’s not very clear, like looking through a mist, and the exact meaning will actually be clearer to you than it is to me; so please bear that in mind.

The cards/vibrations/stars/voices are less than 100% clear so the client should help with the interpretation and volunteer info when necessary.

May i welcome you in a spirit of love and say how happy I am to hate with you the gifts that come to us all from a higher source.

Let me say right from the start that there’s nothing to worry about. We’re here to look at the positive trends in your life, and it’s really all about helping you to make the most of what lies ahead. There may be a lot more good news than you realize. Of course trees a mix of light. And shade in everyone’s life, I mean, that’s reality isn’t it? But I like to concentrate on the sunshine rather than the rain. Do you see what I mean?
