Unfinished Busine...

Here's a great technique to use when you are talking about a sitter's/client's past: talk about their unfinished business.

Bring up the sense, the impression, the sight (if scrying), of some sort of unfinished business in your clients' (or HB's) life. Let them fill in the blanks and tell you what it is.

For example, if I were to say to you, "Your Fate Line has a slight break in it towards your wrist; this tells me you have some sort of unfinished business... What does that mean to you?"

Upon hearing the "unfinished business" and the question, you might start a transderivational search for meaning. You might think of unfinished courses, unfinished books, appologies never given, forgiveness, no closure, something you wanted to say to a deceased relative, etc.

This technique is powerful and therefore it comes with a warning: for some people unfinished business has strong emotions attached to it, sometimes negative. If you are going to use unfinished business in your readings, you MUST calibrate your client's state.

Any sense of things going negative (sighing, down-turned mouth, getting misty eyed, immediate slumping of shoulders, etc.) you should immediately break state. You can do this by changing palms ("OK, let me see your other hand now."), having him or her cut the tarot deck, standing up, anything that changes their position or state. Then move on to something more positive.

This is an advanced cold reading technique. Use it carefully, and you will have a powerful tool in your psychic entertaining kit.

Free Palm Reading Guide

I came across some good videos on palm reading basics. Keep in mind while watching the video that the teacher, Jim Winter, is closed-eyed about palm reading (just my assumption).

Still, learning palm reading from video is better than getting your palms read from a "real" psychic reader and "legit" palm reading books (how I learned years ago). This is just one in a series of videos, if you're interested in seeing more, just click the video and you'll be taken to the YouTube channel.

Failure Into Flexibility

Say you're new at giving cold readings and you have a few sticking points. For example, maybe you hem and haw when you can't think of anything to say. Perhaps you become flustered when you get a miss.

Whatever your dilemma (and we all have them at one time or another), we have a powerful way to eliminate your cold reading sticking points.

It's from the field of NLP, and it's called Failure Into Flexibility. You won't believe how simple it is...and the profound effect it will have on your readings.

Say you gave, what you feel, was a lousy reading. Here's what you do:

1. That day, while you're lying in bed, before you drift off to sleep for the night, in your mind's eye, go through the reading you gave earlier. It's like you are reliving the reading again.

2. When you get to the point where you had a problem, stop and freeze the action. Think about what you really wanted to accomplish with that person.

3. Now in your imagination, carry out the exact behavior you would have wanted. What would you have said? How would you like to have reacted? Imagine everything going as planned.

4. Anchor this desirable response into an external cue. It could be the palm of someone's hand (if you're doing palmistry) or the cards (Tarot), even somebody's face.

5. Go to sleep, realizing you are integrating these new desirable behaviors into future readings.

Always reflect on your performance. What did you do right? Did wrong? Could improve? Use the Failure Into Flexibility exercise whenever you need boost.
