hi guys my question when your reading someone over the phone or however, how exactly is it done. my friend and i were going to try and read eachother the phone but i didnt know exactly whet to do so the cards get the right reading. like if shes going to read me do i think of my question while she shuffles or does she think about me my situation or the question. tips would be great. i have never tried this before cause i wasnt sure if it would actually work with not being in direct contact with the cards, but hey why not give it a try. thanks much for your help

When I read on the phone or internet, I ask them the question, they tell me, and then we both concentrate on the question while I shuffle. It seems to work just fine that way. I've even done cold readings online and been accurate. In fact, the cold reading (not having anything more than a name of someone they knew but I didn't, to be exact) to go on was the most amazing thing I've ever experienced while using tarot. Well----almost the most amazing anyway. There have been other experiences since. But to be given just a name and nothing else and be accurate made a believer out of me! It wasn't just one name, it was many in many readings. So readings on the phone and online work very well, in my experience.

I found reading over the phone much easier than in person. The querent does feel they have to hide their feelings or face they just relax and the information just flows.

when i have done a reading for family, who cant be there. i normally get their picture in front of me and look at them, while im doing the reading, i have found it does help in readings, as its like they are actually there. and when its a reading over the phone i guess people dont feel so embrassed and nervous, when you cant see them so the thoughts flow better.
