An online spiritual reading works best when you arrive relaxed, curious and a little prepared. You do not need any special knowledge, but a few simple steps can help you get more from the conversation. This guide covers the practical side, such as your space and your connection, and the personal side, such as your questions and expectations.
At The Wise Mirror, sessions are held online over Zoom with Amin Musa. The advice below applies to most online readings and sessions.
Choose the right time
Pick a time when you are not rushed. Avoid fitting a session between meetings or right before something stressful. If you can, leave a little room afterwards to reflect. Sessions are scheduled at a time that works for you across any time zone, so there is usually flexibility.
Set up a quiet, private space
- Choose a room where you will not be interrupted.
- Use headphones if other people are nearby.
- Silence notifications on your phone and computer.
- Sit comfortably with your device at eye level.
Check your technology
A little testing prevents stress. Make sure your camera, microphone and internet connection work, and that your device is charged or plugged in. Because sessions run over Zoom, it helps to be comfortable using it. Test it a few minutes before your session starts.
Lighting and camera
If your session involves a face reading, good light helps your face be clearly visible. Sit facing a window or a lamp rather than with a bright light behind you.
Gather your thoughts
You do not need a polished question, but a little reflection helps. Ask yourself what has been on your mind lately and what you would most like to understand better. You might jot down a few lines:
- A decision I am weighing
- A pattern I keep noticing
- A feeling I cannot quite name
- Something I would like more clarity about
If nothing comes to mind, that is fine. You can ask for a general reading and let the conversation find its direction.
Bring an open mind
A reading is a conversation, not a test, and there are no right answers. Try to arrive curious rather than certain. Be ready to hear ideas that fit and ideas that do not, and to say so. If you want more background first, read what to expect from your first spiritual guidance session.
Understand what a reading is and is not
A reading offers perspective and reflection. It does not predict the future, guarantee outcomes or replace professional advice. Going in with realistic expectations helps you appreciate what it can offer. For a deeper look at the idea, see how spiritual guidance can transform your life.
Have a notebook ready
Keep paper or a notes app nearby to jot down phrases that stand out. After the session, ideas often develop, and notes help you return to them.
During the session
- Speak openly, as much as feels comfortable.
- Ask for clarification if something is unclear.
- Say so if something does not resonate.
- Pause whenever you need to.
After the session
Give yourself a few quiet minutes. Walk, drink some tea or write in a journal. Notice which ideas lingered and which faded. Choose one small thing to reflect on or try in the coming days. There is no pressure to act on anything immediately.
Choosing a session length
If you have a single focused topic, a shorter session may be enough. For several topics, a longer session leaves room. The pricing page lists 30-minute, 60-minute and 90-minute readings, plus a package of three 90-minute readings. You can book a session on the booking page.
Prepare emotionally as well as practically
Practical steps matter, but so does your state of mind. Take a few minutes before the session to settle. Breathe slowly, stretch, or sit quietly. If you are nervous, remind yourself that there is nothing to pass or fail, and that you are free to take things at your own pace. Some people like to set a simple intention, such as “I would like to listen to myself today”.
A simple checklist for the day before
- Confirm the time in your own time zone.
- Test your camera, microphone and connection.
- Charge your device and close unnecessary apps.
- Decide where you will sit and tidy the space.
- Jot down a few thoughts or questions.
- Plan something calm for afterwards.
If you feel nervous
Feeling a little nervous is normal, particularly if you have never had a reading or a guidance session. Remember that the person on the other side of the screen is there to listen. You can start by saying you are new to this. You can also tell them what you hope for and what you would rather not discuss. A good session respects your boundaries.
What not to worry about
- Having the right question. A general conversation is perfectly fine.
- Saying things perfectly. Speak naturally; you can rephrase at any time.
- Silence. Pauses are part of reflection.
- Disagreeing. If something does not fit, say so. That is useful information.
- Having a particular belief. Sessions are open to people of any background.
Setting expectations
A reading is a conversation that offers perspective. Do not expect a list of predictions or instructions. Expect observations, questions and some ideas to think about. Afterwards, you decide what to take forward. For more on what to expect, read how spiritual guidance can transform your life.
Troubleshooting common technical issues
- No sound: check that your microphone is not muted and that the right device is selected.
- Frozen video: close other apps and move closer to your router.
- Unstable connection: switch from Wi-Fi to a cable if you can.
- Echo: use headphones.
If something goes wrong, stay calm and rejoin the call. A short interruption does not have to spoil the session, and you can pick up where you left off.
Key takeaways
- Choose an unhurried time and a quiet, private space.
- Test your camera, microphone and connection beforehand.
- Jot down a few thoughts, but do not worry about a perfect question.
- Arrive curious, and speak up if something does not fit.
- Take quiet time afterwards to reflect and note what stood out.
A closing thought
A little care before your session makes the conversation easier, but none of it needs to be perfect. If you forget something, or your first attempt at an idea comes out muddled, simply say so. The people who guide these sessions are used to helping you find the words, and the most useful moments often come from honest, unpolished thoughts rather than carefully prepared speeches.
Frequently asked questions
How early should I join the Zoom call?

Should I write down questions in advance?
It helps but is not required. A few notes about what is on your mind can make the conversation easier to start.
What if I get emotional during a reading?
That can happen, and you can pause at any time. If you need professional support, please also reach out to a qualified professional.
Can I take notes during the session?
