Rates Raised Again

Monday, August 14th, 2006

I have been swamped with readings and it’s only going to get busier once I am on TV, in the paper, magazines, and on radio so I need to reflect this in my fees.

It’s very difficult for me to give stellar service in a short period of time when I have a lot of readings to do so I found myself not completing readings on time (the ones done by email) or not being able to read for a long time when someone needed help right away. Therefore I will also be removing the Discourage Charge for any reading over $100. In this way I do not need to discourage someone from getting a reading asap and I can serve in a more quality oriented way.  Also I get a lot of in-person visit requests but for the fees I was charging previously having an office wasn’t “in the cards!”.
It was a hard decision to make but in order to do the appropriate follow-up and after reading research and to be very “present” to the seeker and the reading I actually need to read for less seekers and get an office for in-person visits (that, unfortunately costs money to do). And it’s important to keep my mission and values in mind in whatever I do:

I stand for: authenticity, knowledge, integrity, originality, quality, professionalism, passion, productivity, efficiency, and being people-focused.

My mission is to use my positive, enthusiastic, and authentic way of being to inspire and motivate others to express and communicate positive, productive, and meaningful words and actions towards themselves and the people and issues they care about.

There are still readings in the affordable range of $60 and $75 but they are much shorter (only offered by phone and email) and do not offer the same quality as other readings. Eventually I will probably phase that pricing out as well.

Any seeker who has received readings from me in the past will continue to get the readings at the same price for a period of at least one more year; however, new seekers will be paying the new price.

To note, although the fees have increased I will not have an office until September/October of this year.

The Past Lives of Abella Arthur

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

While I have spent much time telling others about their past lives, I often don’t have the time to work on my own spiritual needs.  However, over time the higher power took over and started showing me signs, reminding me of the past, and helped me delve into my own past lives reading.

So far I have discovered two: Martial Artist (the elment of earth) & Spiritual Teacher (the element of fire).  If I find the time I will go into these in more detail to illustrate a potential past life reading.

Recent Testimonial: Karen (Toronto Palm Reader)

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

I truly enjoyed my experience with Karen. I have had my palm read a couple other times before, and have had a lot of scepticism of what was said. However, after having my palm read by Karen, I felt settled that I got a proper reading. A lot may have had to do with the fact that she is such a warm individual. I honestly felt like I met up with a friend who decided to give me advice about my life. Regardless of how much truth there is in getting a reading, I was given some sound advice about my character, career, love, and relationships that I know I can actually use. In addition, the choice of doing it at a coffee shop was a great idea. I was a bit worried about people hearing and it being distracting, however it ended up creating a relaxing atmosphere that aided in receiving a good reading. Finally, what was great and something I will always remember was what happened after the reading. Karen stayed to chat, which made the whole experience feel like a meeting between friends rather than a business exchange. I definitely recommend her to anyone and will probably be back again soon!

(Please note that readers may not always have the time for more personal interactions with a sitter before or after the reading but sitters will always receive a warm and friendly reader.)

If you are seeking a palm reader book a reading with Karen!

On learning psychic and esoteric skills (tarot, palmistry, astrology, numerology, etc)

Monday, August 7th, 2006

Learning psychic and esoteric skills lasts a lifetime — it’s like learning to ride a bike or drive a car (you are likely not to forget it and it’s very helpful to have that skill).  A vehicle, like a bike or car, allows you to travel faster and have more fun getting to your destination.  Reading people, situations, and events is a vehicle that allows you to travel faster and have fun too.
