What Should You Avoid Asking the Tarot in Free Readings?

[@daniellegilliver6548]

Paying for a reading is an exchange of energy! The reader is using their energy to give you guidance, in return, you pay the reader...money is also an energy! ❤

New Sub here, great topic.... Personally, My approach to a free read is to discover if the reader is truly connected to my energy and Spirit. I will focus on my situation, concern, or topic and ask for a message from Spirit or Guidance. If the reader makes mention or delivers information regarding my focus, I know they are authentic and legit. I feel that Tarot is a great way to discover the energy of a situation, but not a resource for future outcomes. Freewill and choice of others, including our own choices or actions can create different results. Once I have found a reader that I feel is connected to my energy, as well as Source, I agree 100% that we should support them with payment as they are using their gifting to aid us in our Spiritual growth and Awakening. Thank you for your guidance.

oh I LOVE this sooo much Tim, I completely agree- tarot is great for our energy and situation but not obsessing about future predictions is the better way to go- love it! And love your assessment of the authentic reader- completely agree!

Hi Sal, you had recently shared making a decision on turning our group into exchange only readings. What was the verdict on this? I feel there are a lot of freeloaders that are simply joining to get readings, because I see the same members (no offense) asking the same question various times on various groups. No offense meant to you, but it becomes frustrating in the learning journey, because of the lack of commitment from the other person. In terms of feedback I mean. As for an exchange, I can not say enough positive things about my experience, and the fact that it has turned into a friendship with the person, vs a one-off if that makes sense.

Hey lovely- thanks for reaching out and let me know- and no offence taken- I totally understand that the learning can become really frustrated when people use you for free readings- I do the best I can to stop that- unfortunately when there are over 10,000 people in a group - you can only offer guidelines- and ask people to abide by them- (and if they repeatedly break the rules you can remove them- and I do let all students know when they join the group to reach out to me if someone hasn't given feedback- and I will tag them in the group at the end of the month to remind them. As I shared in the video in the group the word 'feedback' can get very tricky (which is why I included the feedback template to send to every person. And some people may feel they HAVE given feedback- but the reader may feel it wasn't enough to justify their time. And while yes- the group does have people that are just using readers- The group has always mostly had very good people- (which I am lucky) and juggling the small amount of people that use readers for readings- vs the small amount of people who use the group to build their business and get testimonials for their business and get angry at me and the students who don't give them big enough reviews for testimonials- it's just a balancing act- And then there are people like you- who just want to practice and learn and don't care about getting business testimonials- who unfortunately get stuck in the middle by the first category. But it may help you to know- with this situation- (people getting a reading off you then asking the same question in another group) Every reader experiences this. no matter what group- and what level they are at in their learning journey. Whether beginner or professional. I know it hurts and is frustrating- but it might help you to know- this will happen to you as well when you are a professional reader- there will be clients who will see you- you will do your best to give them 1 hour of your time- then next week they will go and see someone else. It can be hard to take it personally- but rather- i would just take it that this person has a lot of anxiety around the issue and you have done the best you can. I am so glad you found a great exchange person! That is wonderful news. So I haven't officially made the announcement yet (this takes months to implement because not everyone gets notifications so it has to be a slow process to avoid mass confusion) but I received a lot of feedback from members of the group who said they still wanted the option to offer readings without an exchange- because sometimes they didn't want a reading- but they wanted to practice! So they felt they didn't need to get a reading all the time- but wanted to get better at practicing. I also got a lot of people who reached out to me and said they didn't want to be forced to exchange or get feedback- that sometimes they just wanted to practice even without feedback (which isn't my favourite- but its their choice of what they prefer so I do have to consider that) . So I have taken everyone's contributions into account and will made some small additional changes to do what I can to prevent the ones who are using the group for free readings- at this stage it looks like I may start a separate group for more specific purposes- but i just need to think on this some more- So I will do a big announcement soon with some new changes- that will hopefully balance the needs of everyone- but for now- just stick with the exchanges- they seem to be working for you- and this is soo wonderful that you have connected with someone. . Will keep you posted! Love Sal
