 How to Prepare

 

Scheduling Your Reading:  All readings are taped and your session cost includes mailing of your tape if by phone.  

 

You may schedule a reading in the any of the following ways:

  • Schedule Online using the Online Scheduler -- this allows you to view current openings and schedule a reading date and time that works for you.  (Please note -- the online scheduler is allows you to schedule no less than 48 hours in advance.  If you need a session sooner than this, you will need to schedule by email or telephone to check on availability of appointment times.)

  • Email to schedule a reading --  Click here: ruccha@carruch.com  

  • Telephone to schedule a reading by telephoning (360) 385-1073.  

If you wish to schedule by email or phone please provide the following information:

  • Your Name

  • The type of reading you want (Phone or Onsite)

  • The length of reading you want (Hour or Half-Hour)

  • The time zone you are in.

  • Your phone number with area code or email address where I can reach you.

  • Whether you would like to contact you by phone or email to schedule your appointment.

    • If by phone, please leave likely times that I might reach you in person, or 

    • Indicate how often you check your email, if that is your preferred mode of contact

If you schedule with the Online Scheduler, you will receive a confirmation of your scheduled time by email, usually within a few minutes.  If you contact me by email or phone, I will email/call you back (usually within 24 hours) and we will schedule a time for your session.  

 

I am generally booked one to two weeks out.  Because of my teaching and travel schedule, I generally do private session work on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, 9 am - 6 pm, but I do schedule some evening and weekend appointments for those with very inflexible work schedules.

Calling/Arriving:    At the time scheduled for your reading, telephone me at (360) 385-1073 (if you have scheduled a phone reading) or arrive at my house (driving directions here) or the agreed-upon site if this is an onsite reading.  IMPORTANT!  Please remember, if you are having a phone reading, that you will be calling me.  

 

If you call or arrive late for an appointment, it is my policy that we proceed with the reading only to the end of the time you originally scheduled for, and it is my expectation that you will pay the full cost of your scheduled time.   If you cancel with less than 24-hours notice, it is my expectation that you will pay me for the session time.  Please see more about this at Cancellation/Late Show Policy

How to Prepare:  To prepare for your reading, you may wish to compile a list of questions, although this is not required.  You may ask about anything pertaining to you, your life, and your relationships, and your questions may be quite varied (folks ask about their "soul paths" and their cars in the same reading!)  Carruch says that everything is Spirit, so there are no mundane questions.  However, if you are attempting to access personal information about another living person without their consent, some information may be inaccessible. 

Also, you may wish to notice any strange synchronicities which occur between the time you contact me and your reading.  Often, your guides will try to "nudge" you toward certain lines of questioning by throwing odd, and often humorous things your way prior to a reading.

Most people prefer a one hour reading for their first session.  The readings are dense and full of material -- most people talk to me once or twice in the year at most -- so a follow-up appointment of a half-hour is usually more than adequate.

MY PHILOSOPHY ABOUT MONEY & THE WORK:

 

My Background:  I grew up in a small town in Kansas, medium size family, small size money, worked my way through college and have supported myself all my life. I am equally committed to making this work accessible to all who want it and to caring well for myself. After much experimentation with formats around money, barter, and exchange (including working for nine years entirely on the basis of voluntary "love offerings"), I have come up with the following philosophy/policy about how I deal with money and equal exchange for my work.

 

Private Taped Sessions are:

  • In Person $120/One Hour or $60 /one-half Hour

  • By Phone $180/One Hour or $90 /one-half Hour

In addition, for those who refer three new clients who schedule and purchase a reading, I offer reduced prices for readings.  Read more about it here:  Join the Karma Club

I volunteer my services as a teacher, channel, and minister to The Society of Conscious Service at least twice each week, at Open Circle and Doing the Do Class.  These events are open to the public and offered purely on a donation basis.  During weekly Open Circle, I channel Carruch in a public setting for all who desire to attend, and their personal questions are welcome at this time.  In this manner, I assure that the work is accessible and available to all regardless of monetary status.

For those whose real financial need would prevent them receiving private session work, I am open to trade for materials and services I need, to make financial arrangements, or to offer discounted work.  I require that those requesting trade/financial arrangements do this negotiation directly with me at the time they call/email to schedule a session or register for a class, rather than negotiating with me at the time of the session/class.  

 

My guidelines about trade/financial arrangements are as follows:

  1. I believe that appropriate exchange is an important aspect of healing and enlightenment work.  

  2. If trading, please pay what you can, then make the rest up in trade. Ask yourself whether your trade is about convenience or need (Rule of Thumb: If you eat out twice a week or more, you can probably afford to pay for your session).

  3. Please consider your trade as seriously as you do cash. I experience that many people "blow off" appointments for which they intend to trade. I believe this reflects our cultural agreement that money is the only "real" payment. I don’t hold with that and I give the same quality of work for trade as for cash. I ask that you honor my work by considering your trade just as seriously.

  4. Please be as willing to offer trade to others as you are hoping I will be to offer it to you.

If no mutually-amenable trade can be negotiated, other financial arrangements can be made in advance, such as paying over time.  It is important to me that people be able to access the work, and we can usually find a flexible alternative so that personal finances are not an obstacle to participation.  I make agreements about trade and financial arrangements in writing.

Finally: I am always willing to be of service at little or no cost to those in real financial need.  

I define those in real financial need as:

  • persons unemployed through involuntary loss of employment

  • low-income elderly and/or handicapped, those receiving Aid to Families with children (essentially, people who qualify for state assistance such as food stamps, SSI, etc.)

  • dependent children of non-affluent families

 If you know someone in a difficult situation who would benefit from my work, perhaps you would consider matching my contribution by gifting them with one-half the price of their session.
