"I believe in and put my faith in the Holy Spirit and I consider all of my readings to be a prayer joined in by myself, by you and by spirit.    I promise that I will do my very best to honor you and your loved-one's holiness while I use my gifts to the best of my ability to help in any and every way possible."          Joseph Shiel

Preparing for Your Reading

  • Try to allow yourself time to be as relaxed as possible before you enter your session.   Those suffering from great distress may find that Spiritual Counseling proves to be more valuable during particularly stressful times.
  • If you hope to connect with loved-ones in spirit, it is often helpful in forming stronger connections if you allow a bit of time to think about them before your session begins. 
  • Avoid unrealistic expectations that you will encounter everyone you hope for;  sometimes we don't get what we want but that which we need most at the time. 
  • It is sometimes easy to overlook the obvious connections while caught up in the emotional experience of your reading.  Do not be too quick to dismiss a message or a spirit communicator if you don't immediately recognize them.  Remain patient, open and receptive.  Validation can come in many strange and magnificent ways!  You may think of the connection at a later date or you may discover, as you relate your experience to others, that the communicator's message was intended for a friend, a relative or acquaintance, perhaps in great need of healing themselves. 
  • I  encourage you to take notes of names, dates and other information throughout your reading in order to remember details which I may not be able to recapture as the session progresses.
  • Come prepared with any specific personal concerns or questions you may have.  You will be given an opportunity to ask one or two questions once your reading is nearing its completion.
  • Please Avoid the use of mind-altering drugs, heavy medications or inebriates to excess within 24 hours of your session as this can affect the energy required for your best results.

Overall it is a simple process for you and I really hope to make your reading as wonderful an experience for you as I possibly can.  So consider it to be entertaining and relax and have fun, be light and receptive to a loving and truly caring energy.

During Your Reading:

Information is imparted to me in several ways and is often received as a physical sensation or an emotional feeling rather than just spoken words.   Because I utilize all of my senses during a reading, which are acutely aware of feeling and sensing information, at times you may notice changes in my demeanor, expression or in the tone of my voice.

I will not ask probing questions during your reading.  Rather I will pause occasionally to ask only if you understand or identify with the information.  I require only a yes or no answer and you do not have to elaborate unless you feel it would be helpful to your experience.  The sound of your voice vibration, however is important to my maintaining a strong and positive connection.

Names given may be first, middle or last names of a discarnate spirit or, depending on how I am receiving them, I may be receiving greetings or references to living persons related to the spirit.  I am usually able to differentiate.  Disjointed information may occur at times but usually becomes clear overall.

Questions:

In order to provide adequate time for specific personal concerns, it is helpful to come prepared with any questions you might want to ask and if time permits I will give you an opportunity to ask one or two questions at the completion of your reading.

Recordings:

You are welcome to bring an audio recording device of your own if you would like to record your reading however because it is not always possible for me to recapture information later on in a reading I  would also recommend taking notes of names, dates and other information throughout your reading in order to remember details.  The quality of your recording, if you choose to record, is not guaranteed.
