You will need either something to write with and paper, or a tape recorder. Tape recorders are of the utmost usefulness, for writing is difficult and laborious if one is in a deep trance.

First get centered. Follow your breathing, give yourself verbal suggestions, observe your sensations, in general find a relaxed state. Whatever technique you like to use to get into a meditative state, use it.

Next, allow the person you're doing the reading for to ask a question.

Take a deep breath and allow yourself to relax completely, letting the questions sink into your unconscious. It may feel as if your intuition has run off like a little puppy running after a stick that was thrown. Just sit and wait for the "puppy" to return with images and feelings.

When images and feelings begin to arise, give voice to them. Sometimes you must open your mouth to speak before the images and feelings appear. Write everything down, or make sure that it is being taped on the recorder. Whoever is receiving the reading should be doing the writing and watching the tape recorder. Speak until there is a lull in the flow of images or feelings.

When there is a lull, again just wait until they begin again. Then speak what they are.

The other person who is receiving the reading might like to ask more questions, for questions breed more questions, especially once you begin to offer information.

Do not analyze or interpret your impressions yet. Just translate, bridging the worlds between the unconscious and the conscious. When the session is over, make sure you do some sort of grounding exercise like moving your body, taking a deep breath while opening the eyes, or even yawning. Some people like to do something very earthly, like eating, or drinking a beverage, or standing up and taking a short stroll. These are all grounding exercises.
