A Question About Questions
A podcast listener wrote in with a great question about questions. Almost everyone who has read for a while knows that, unless you’re dealing with an exceptional crowd, most of the questions you’re going to be asked fall into the same categories – does he/she love me? is he/she cheating on me? will I get the job? The listener wanted to know what kind of questions I’d like people to ask.
I don’t know that there are particular questions that I wish people would ask, so much as I would like them to think about what they really want to know and how they ask the question. What would make the reading more useful for them is make the question about them and what possibilities they are able to manifest, rather than basing their questions (and sometimes their identity and entire life) on someone else – partner/boss/family member. The best readings are those in which the client wants to learn more about their role in a situation and to identify the resources available to them (both internal and external) to help them find the best way to approach the situation and the people in it.
What do you think is important about the question the client brings to the reading?
