Hi Jen,
The only way to work towards becoming a regular reader on this forum is to start from where you are now.
I warmly welcome you to the reader team on this forum, and look forward to comparing notes with you, especially with regards to using your clairaudient abilities in combination with my own in order to help our valued members.
Each reader has his or her own unique way of going about things, but only their first name (optional) as well as either a question about one life area of greatest concern to them at the time or a request for a general reading where our inner guidance gets to decide is usually necessary.
Any additional information you may feel the need of is again optional, although I often make the point that if it is not provided that the reading may not be as accurate or reliable as it might have otherwise been if it had.
It is often a matter of finding the best possible balance between having the minimum information required by you to be able to effectively give the reading, against the ongoing need to make the person feel comfortable with the reading process and to preserve their right to their privacy.
If you do ever discover the secret of finding this perfect point of balance in every situation, please let me know about it.
Although I am not a numerologist and this is not the Numerology Reading board, I sometimes am told to give them a Life Path Reading using their full date of birth.
But even then they still have the choice as to whether to reveal this on the open forum, or alternately through a private message whose contents will remain confidential between us.
Of course I will only give the reading on the forum itself (private readings are not as you already know allowed), but the calculations I use to arrive at the Life Path Number which is then displayed for all to see on the public forum, remain hidden from view.
It was very nice to be given this golden opportunity to meet you, and I feel that you will quickly become a valuable friend to many and a welcome addition to our team of readers and other helpers.
Love, Light and Peace to you and yours,
eye_of_tiger
