Talk about your readings!

Some people wonder if they are “allowed” to talk about their readings after they are complete. I don’t know about you, but I am a blabbermouth sometimes with my own information… and that’s exactly what your reading is: your information. It is for you to do whatever you wish with it. Ignore it. Do your own thing. Take it to heart… or not. Share it with your friends… or not. But that choice to share or not to share doesn’t rest with me as the reader… it rests with you, and you alone.

When you seek advice from someone, what do you do with that advice? What I do is bring it to another person… or even another person after that, to use as a soundingboard. It also depends on the importance of the topic whether I will share it or not.

The other week, I read for a group of people in someone’s home. I did the readings in the kitchen area, and the others waited and chatted in the living room until it was their turn for a reading. They had asked if they could be present for another person’s reading to “listen in”. I told them it was completely up to the person being read for. In the end, everyone wanted to be read alone… and then afterwards, they discussed their reading with the others that were waiting. I only know that because I could hear them as I waited for the next person to come in!

Ultimately, a lot of our interactions with one another boils down to validation. Most of the time, the talk after a reading with me is about, “How was she? Was she accurate? What did she say?” but then the talk turns toward the similarities of the situations being asked about. Trying to find common ground within relationships and dealing with each other.

Word of mouth is a powerful thing, whether you are in business for yourself or not. We’re always using the recommendations of others, subconsciously or consciously. If we’re seeking out a new service (whether it’s a dentist, doctor, or otherwise) we often don’t go to someone on a whim… we ask for recommendations from the people we trust.

In summation, yes, you can talk about your reading with me, if you want to! You can even bring a friend when you sit down at my tarot table, but that reading is for you. In fact, I ENJOY having friends come to me… they’re an extra dose of validation, especially when I’m telling a client something that is true that they don’t want to admit to! I’ll say something, and while the client is shaking their head “no”, the friend is nodding “yes”.
