A calm consultation: setting, pace and the right to decline
Prepare for a calm divinatory consultation in person or online. Consider privacy, the pace of the conversation and the option to decline a question.

Prepare the setting
In person, provide comfortable seats at equal height and privacy from waiting visitors. Online, check sound, display names and whether others are in the room. Give advance notice of recording if it is offered at all.
Allow a choice of pace
At the start, state the available time and that questions may be skipped. Pause after an interpretation. Silence is not confirmation, and tears do not prove accuracy. Ask whether the person wishes to continue.
Give the meeting a clear ending
Summarise the discussion in the client’s words and identify open questions. Do not end with a new threat or vague promise requiring an immediate follow-up meeting.
