Boundaries

How to keep healthy boundaries in your relationships

I have to say that ........

If I say that I do not agree with the way a person performs their service, that does not mean I think they are wrong and I am right, it means I do not agree with some aspect of the services they offer. Much like when a caller tells me that another reader got a different response for them when asked a question, I cannot, nor would I ever be able to say that the other reader was wrong and I was right, I simply say that I am telling you what I get and they told you what they got, I am not qualified to say whether they were right and me wrong.

This is no burning at the stake for any reader on or off Keen. This is no bad mouthing, no labeling anyone phony, and me real, the people I read for are the judge of that. I am merely stating my experience of what it feels like to have to clean up the mess and embarrassment that a person feels they tell me that the *spell* they performed obviously did not work.

So while some might agree with spells and have had favorable experience with them, I, for one have not. Does that mean I think spells are wrong? To honestly answer, I am of the belief that vulnerable people spending money they cannot afford, for something they want so desperately, and for that not to happen is not easy to get past and so it is my personal experience that spells do not work. That belief is obviously not shared by others as is their right, it just feels as if that practice sets us as readers back to the dark ages when psychics were feared as if they could put a hex on you if you vexed them and that is not a place I think I personally want to be....

If I have offended anyone by this then it was not my intention....

Yes, I agree, I have often had callers tell me they have different responses, from other callers and my reading was off. Well everyone does reading different I can only go by what I see and feel and not be compared to others. Not to say they are wrong, either. Everyone does and has different ways of reading and connecting.

Dear Joan:

As far as I am concerned I have never been offended by anything you might have said.  I do think that some will push anything that is said out of context and make it appear as if they have been victimized.  We have to move past them and not give too much energy to it anymore I think.  Keep being who you are Joan and don't let anything deter you.

Will the real deal please stand up? lol

Everyone operates on so many different levels, and what one may need to do or expereince the other may not and that is just the way it goes.

Thanks Joan

I just wanted to share that I cannot sit in judgement of another because they do their readings in a different way. I have seen some brag that they use no tools, does that make them think they are better than me and my lowly cards? Nah, it means they operate differently, they perform differently, they use different methods to connect. But that's how the world works isn't it?

Many people have been burned from ritual work. I have been performing traditional Hatian ritual work for over 30 years, I have seen the con-artists come and go. My advice to the querent would be to be very wary, ask questions, send no money unless it's through a mediary payment service (never Western Union). You can always decline charges on your credit card. As an aside, I would also like to say that many people get scammed on psychic services as well, all metaphysical atists should work with their feet to the fire, so to speak.

Blessed Be,

Madame Anna

Plus Joan, When it all comes down to it..Every practice is some type of pagan act. I was a person who was completely closed minded about another belief system, until my perception changed. Now, I am able to understand better that everyone has their travels.

Burning of sage, bathing in sea salt, burning of myrrh. Manifesting and Affirmations, annoiting of holy water,chanting. Using crystals and stones. They all are used to bring about something in someones life.

Tools, no tools this site is based on someone getting what they are in search of.. Yes? Everyone is advertising to be something and have something that another needs and wants.

The roman catholic religion objects strongly to any form of divination, hard for a raised and educated roman catholic girl to balance by what she does (me) but I know my own intention is pure when I read and that's all I need to know...thanks for the comments, donna! you always make me think

Joan, I make myself think...more times than not...lol

Myself as well being raised a Roman Catholic have come to my own realization, years later that all the rituals they do, well they won't say rituals :( burning of myrrh at christmas time and Ash Wednesday and annoitings, hands on healings, and soforth...are and have been around and are looked upon as pagan rituals...funny huh?
Watching everything come full circle :+

Very funny, not funny ha ha but funny strange, I never  thought of it that way but it really IS that way. Aint hypocrisy great? The Roman Cahtolic church had such a grip hold over the whole country of Ireland for so long and now not so at all. I believe that it is important to believe in something but not something so invasive that it seeks to control....

When you take a piece here and than there,  and incorporate them together they start to unfold.
Words become so tainted and they hold such power over how we view everything. When we start to not look at everything so modified, as they once were, you begin to feel less and less apt to seeing them at that place.

I guess thats the fun in evolving, and not being so charged up by words and there meanings. They do not affect you in the same way anymore.
What may be a great read for one person, may not even begin to touch another. I cannot go to people who read very "simple" such as he is calling you soon,I cannot go to someone who is not a "deep reader" because it does not do anything for me. I have to go to someone who can go beyond the surface and see further at my soul level.
There is not alot of people that can read me, in the way suits me needs. I evolved, just like many are doing.
Our readings change, Our perspectives change, Our process takes over and unfolds.

Ok, Joan sorry I went on a tangent.

Sometimes it's not the words so much as WHO writes or utters them and how much you may care about this person. And you are the one with the final say so as to how you react to them... wise words donna thanks for sharing

Oh and let me add that it is not so much what you have to say so much as how it is said. You can deliver negative news to someone and not have it devastate them so kindness in delivery also counts... some readers just do not have it.... or have it and choose not to use it.
