I generally do not read cards and do not use tools unless asked - I read energy, pure and simply. Energy is like water - it needs to keep moving - and when it flows, it's readable. When it doesn't - when there's been no action, no movement, or when you are closed off, then reading becomes almost impossible. People aren't always open to truth or directness. Truth can be like biting into a crisp apple - the flavors and textures of it explode in your mouth, tingling your jawline. But truth can sometimes have too much "bite", too much hardness. Not everyone calls for truth, but for comfort.
Do you know what you want?
Readings can sometimes be like exploring a haunted house... all the untapped emotions and abandoned truths lie dormant and dusty and quiet, sometimes waiting to be touched and awakened. Once you wake them up, they are not quiet anymore.
For some, this is welcome. For others, it's an annoyance and inconvenience.
Know what you want. Ask about it directly. The more direct and specific you are, the more detail you will get in your reading. Be vague and you will receive it back. Readings are a reflection of your internal state. Sometimes there's something there at the back of it all trying to get through to help *you* get through.
Help it by being open.
