Whether you’re reading for other people to hone your skills or
doing it professionally, it’s imperative that you remain ethical and
responsible. There are many considerations-and boundaries- that need to be
thought out and put in place. While
you’re reading for others, practice neutral positive thinking is a must. Help
the seeker know and understand their choices, to help them face challenges and
improve their situation.
This list below is just a foundation; undoubtedly, via your own
experience, you’ll come up with things add as you continue your journey along
the Tarot path.
Before
Laying Out The Cards: It’s always a sound practice to ask the seeker
if there is a topic that might possibly come up that they won’t want to
discuss. Be sure that they understand
that they don’t need to identify the issue to you now, but that they do have
the right to tell you when (and if) it arises. If it does, never push the
issue! It isn’t your duty to force them
to face a something just because you feel
they need to. Your goal as a reader is to have your friends or clients walk
away with food for thought…and the necessary tools to improve their lives.
What
Happens In The Session Stays In The Session: Always respect your
seeker’s privacy in the same way that a therapist, medical doctor or lawyer,
would. Anything that’s brought up or discussed should never leave the reading room. Your
seeker trusts you with personal issues and intimate details. Do not break another person’s
confidentiality.
Many people decide get readings when they’re going through
major life changes, rough periods or a traumatic situation, but even if the
reading is general and positive, you have no business discussing these things
with anyone but your client…. or you’ll have no business!
Stay
Neutral: Practice being impartial about the seeker’s life or what
you may “see” in the cards. It’s hard enough for most people to open up and
share their inner selves with others, and they certainly don’t need to be
judged in the process. When reading for others, practice neutral positive thinking. Gently
assisting the seeker to acknowledge and understand their choices will help them
to face their own challenges and improve their situation.
Free Will: As a
reader it isn’t your place to make decisions for another person. Sometimes it
might be ok to draw parallels to a similar experience you’ve had, but refrain
from telling the seeker what to do. Shedding light on the situations emerging
during the reading will help the querent to notice the potential consequences
of their choices… but ultimately, it’s their life and their choices, not yours.
You Are
Not A Medical Professional: Think twice before reading about
diseases, a diagnosis or a death, even if the seeker is pushing you to do so. It’s
generally a healthy practice to avoid
reading for these issues. Instead, suggest that if they’re concerned, they make
an appointment with a doctor.
Set Boundaries: Though
you may feel compassion towards your clients, and it’s perfectly fine to
empathize with their dilemmas and emotions, you need to draw a dividing line. Remember
that you don’t own the seeker’s issues; what’s happening to them isn’t
happening to you! Keeping boundaries firmly in place can definitely be difficult
when you’re reading for family or friends, but it needs to be done. When they
leave your reading space, you must
allow their problems leave with them.
The more you read for others, the better you’ll understand
just how important it is to treat people with the utmost respect and kindness.
Living by the Golden Rule will ensure you never run out of willing
volunteers-or paying clients- eager to have you read for them.
