Faced with an uptight querent? If your customary pre-reading small talk doesn't seem to be helping to ease your querent's nervousness, try my suggestions right away.
Turn your attention to your solar plexus (between your diaphragm and your belly button). Tune in to your own feelings. Are you feeling calm and serene, grounded and confident? If you're not feeling in balance, chances are you're picking up your querent's jitters and--like a diabolical negative feedback loop--you're feeding each other this unsettling energy.
Breathe deeply and evenly. Feel your solar plexus area softening and opening. Feel a growing connection between you and the earth beneath you and Spirit all around you. Sense your querent's breathing calming down and his or her energy being grounded in a similar way.
If you feel that your querent would be receptive, invite him or her to join you in taking a few moments to gently breathe and tune in. If your querent does not seem the type to appreciate this kind of meditative moment, simply do it yourself but keep it brief.
Ask your guide--and the guides who attend your querent--to bless the reading and your work and to support your querent in receiving messages that will be clear and helpful.
