But don't let this intimidate you. For one thing, the ''rules" certainly are not etched in stone. Because each reading is different and presents its own unique type of information, no simple rules can apply to every reading. Your actions definitely depend on your own intuitive assessment about how to handle each situation. Following are a few guidelines to keep in mind when broaching a few basic areas. |

Bear in mind that receiving the information doesn't always mean that you have to share it. You can't always judge correctly what it means, and the more serious the news is, the more cautious you should be in passing it along. Belleruth Naparstek states this succinctly: "It would be arrogant and intrusive to assume we'd all been deputized by God to interfere with other people's lives, sometimes even if they ask us to." |

I am often faced with the question of what to do when I receive difficult information, such as an impending death, illness, or accident. I am of two minds here, and my response depends on the situation and what I receive intuitively. My first impression is usually to say whatever it is that I've received. I may try to couch it in a way that softens the blow. Sometimes I receive the information as a warning, which I can offer someone in enough time for them to take effective action. |

In very serious cases, I get quiet and ask my intuition to give me a way to talk to the person about the information. If I share it, I will talk to my client about possible courses of action to either support her in what may be inevitable or to sort through possible options to prevent the outcome that I'm perceiving. |

What's the Answer? Yes or No (or Maybe) |

I often have clients call me and ask if I can answer just one or two quick questions. I don't know if all intuitive counselors experience this type of request for quick answers. And I don't know how they respond. I find them difficult. |

I usually ask them to make an appointment with me, so that I'm in the proper frame of mind to give accurate input. In general, I find that these clients make the assumption that I'm "on" all the time. There's also an assumption that I have the right answer as opposed to their own remarkable built-in intuition. I'll explain further by describing a client whose name I've changed to "Sally." |

Sally called with a quick question: "Should I take this job that I've been offered?" To answer this question, I would need to psychically climb into Sally's life. Here are the questions that I would want to look at intuitively to answer the quick question: |
