Past life reading tomorrow. I'm excited.

[BlueIris]

I've been wanting to get a new past life reading for a while (the last one kind of sucked). The woman I'm reading with is supposedly pretty good. But it's a cautious optimism because it's been a while since I've found a good reader of any variety and I have found good past-life readers to be few and far between.

1. Will you be able to tape it?

Lots of information to revisit through time.O8)

2. Make sure you stay open!

Remember that sometimes our subconscious takes over and puts our shields up even when we don't want them to (when we're nervous about what we'll hear, in readings, included). A quick check beforehand should take care of it.

Are you doing it via hypnotism, or is the reader just going to tell you what she picks up?

4. It's not a regression reading.

I talked to one person who did readings with this woman before and she's pretty flexible about technique--you can ask questions, let the reader tell you what she's getting, etc. Up until a couple of days ago, I had this "burning" question I wanted to ask, but now...it's kinda moot. So I think I'll just be letting the reader give me impressions.

5. Cool

Enjoy! Hope it gives you some great insight. :hug:

3. By a past life reading, do you mean

the woman will tell you about your past life?

How about finding a past life regressionist, so that you are the one who perceives the past life?

On edit:

Are you really in Santa Fe? So am I.

6. I've had psychics include bits of past lives as it relates to my current life

but the one time I've gone to a karmic/past life reader, I got some information which turns out to be where =all= of the pain is coming from, where all of the clogs are from, and where all of the darkness is from. And I can't blame myself one bit for any and all of my reactions to it, in the two or three lives since. The information turns out to be imperative, and is allowing me to do the appropriate cleansing work (like we have any choice about that at this time).

I hope that you have a wonderful, highly useful reading. :hi:

7. I hope you aren't disappointed this time.

Please let us know what you discover.

9. !*&@&%^#%!!!!

Ahem. Not really. But...

My kingdom for a good past-life reader. Or any kind of good reader. And by good I mean someone capable of behaving professionally.

I made the mistake of telling her she could just tell me "whatever was coming through," and she interpreted that to mean, "blather on for 35 minutes" about stuff she thought I was doing ineffectually in this life cycle. Past incarnations? Didn't come up at all. Which made me wonder if she's even capable of doing that. I'm annoyed at the lack of truth in the advertising.

For some reason, it didn't occur to me to mention this during the reading. You know, "Hello? I thought we were going to talk about my other life cycles." I think those came up once, when she said that I picked the parents I did (read: total jerks) because I "didn't want to be a princess this time around." (She's one of those intuitives--won't call her psychic--who thinks it's okay to rationalize bad parenting as necessary if it was allegedly connected to someone's karma.) I just kind of sat there the whole time nodding and thinking "$50 for this? Are you kidding me?"

She also turned out to be very passive aggressive and judgmental; one of those who gets off on controlling people and seemed to feel entitled to tell me what to do on the basis of what she was "picking up." Which included telling me to stop using my pendulum because it was causing me to get too hung up on when things might or might not happen and she doesn't believe in linear time. Which...fine. But I'm obviously living in linear time and it's working out well for me. Like my pendulum use is. Was it too much to ask no lectures? I wasn't at my mother's house.

When the reading was over and I was downstairs trying to (gasp! the horror!) use one of my pendulums to pick out a new flower essence formula, she had the audacity to look at me and scoff. As if to say, "How dare you not take the brilliant advice I just gave you?!" Then, when I was (politely) talking with my friend, who runs the store, and I said I thought our zoning laws sucked, ("I think the local mall would make a better school than a business") she said, "I wish someone would ask me how to run the world, too." I wasn't even serious, I was just making conversation, and she was continuing her nasty, passive aggressive judgment just the same.

So, I'm back to my policy of doing my own readings or not paying for the (rare) outside readings I do get. And while I don't want to make my friend (store's owner) feel bad, if she ever asks me how it went, I can't say I'll hold back.

11. Whew, so sorry

For the entire waste of money and time. Am I surprised? No, not really. I do think there are good readers out there, but actually finding one??? I dunno about that.

What's upsetting is that some people actually CAN be controlled by people like this.

Hope it isn't awkward with your friend..............

12. bummer, BI

I was hoping to hear that you'd heard something insightful.

13. I want to suggest that

you really try a past life regression.

This is very judgmental on my part, but I have no faith in someone else doing a past life reading. You need to do your own, which is what happens in a regression.
