Don’t try to force it. Wait patiently for a vision, inner voice, feeling and/ or sense of knowing to surface in your awareness. On the other hand, recognize that psychic information can and often does flow very fast, streaming into the mind within seconds like water through an open dam. If it flows this fast for you, blurt it out without any censoring. If there is a lull, allow the imagery some time to form in the depths of your subconscious mind.

Keep the channel open. Do not judge or analyze the information, as scrutiny will block the flow. Your attitude should be that of hopeful expectation. Build this expectancy, and all will come. Even if what you receive is puzzling or seems unlikely, go ahead and say it aloud. If you are working alone, jot down your impressions on a piece of paper.

Report the information exactly as it comes to you and leave nothing out. For example, “I see a white picket fence in the front yard of an attractive white cottage, with a child riding a bicycle on the street in front of the house. I get the feeling that the child is very happy and that you are that child. But now I see another image of the child, who is a little older. She falls off the bicycle, hurts her arm, and lies in the street crying. I get the feeling that this is not an actual event, but is symbolic: that in childhood you were hurt and felt lost because of painful events in your family life. Now I see your stepfather appearing in the doorway and yelling at you for falling down; you are very frightened. I’m not sure of this, but I get the sense that you haven’t been able to trust being happy since then.”

In this example, all of the reader’s psychic senses were active. Still, the reader was unsure in places and had the wisdom to say, “I get the feeling” and “I get the sense that . . . ” The listener will interpret the images. Don’t guess about anything; give only what you receive.

Do not frighten the listener. If what you perceive could worry or harm the listener, convey your impressions carefully or not at all. If you decide to share the information, do not say that such-and-such (a heart attack, a car wreck, a death in the family) will happen; you could be wrong and cause unnecessary worry. Instead, tell the listener what you picked up, and then ask if someone has a fear or concern about such-and-such.

Schiller-Hanna added a comment about this practice in an interview with me, saying: “Sometimes I’ll be guided to talk in more general terms. Instead of telling an elderly woman that I see her husband passing in the next year, I may be guided to say, ‘I feel you will be having a change before too long. It will be helpful to learn to be more independent.’ This gives her tools but doesn’t burden her with anxiety and fear about the loss of her partner, if Spirit has not told me to reveal this loss directly.”

Be sure to point out to the listener that the future depends on the choices and decisions we make. Changing the present changes the future. Simply alerting the listener (or, if you are reading for yourself, your own conscious mind) of the possibility of a problem is the extent of your responsibility. After the reading, the listener must use his or her instincts, intellect, and intuition to determine if some kind of action needs to be taken.

Stop when the flow ends. The reading continues until nothing more surfaces for you. If the listener has questions, you may wish to return to your intuitive state to ask for more information.
