How to Write Questions for Your Session
Preparing your questions is part of setting the intention for the work.
The process of writing your questions is often where the session begins. Before anything happens in trance, you are already listening inward, naming what matters, and placing your intention clearly in front of you.
A good-enough question is enough
Your questions do not need to be poetic or spiritually impressive. They only need to point honestly toward what you want to understand.
What keeps repeating?
What pattern, reaction, relationship dynamic, dream, body signal, or fear keeps returning?
What do I need to know?
Try: "What do I need to understand about..." or "What pattern am I ready to see more clearly?"

Start with your own journey
The most useful questions are self-focused. They bring the attention back to your own insight, your own choices, your own patterns, and your own relationship to what is happening around you.
Instead of asking, "How do I fix someone else?" ask, "What is my role here, and how can I respond with more clarity?"
Prepare 5 to 15 questions
Aim for 5 to 15 questions, and no more than 20. This gives the session enough direction without overloading the process. Place your most important questions first so they are addressed while the energy is freshest.
If you are not sure which questions matter most, circle the ones that feel emotional, persistent, or strangely alive. Those are often good places to begin.
Ask across the whole landscape of your life
Your questions can be practical, emotional, spiritual, physical, symbolic, or relational. They do not need to sound impressive. An honest question is better than a perfect one.
Session imagery and apparent memories are subjective. Use questions that invite reflection rather than trying to prove what happened, retrieve verified facts, or obtain answers about another person. Spiritual terms such as Higher Self are personal frameworks, not infallible sources.
Sample questions by theme
Use these as inspiration, not a script. Choose the ones that feel alive, rewrite them in your own language, and place your most important questions first.
Recurring patterns
- What pattern keeps repeating in my life, and what may help me understand it more clearly?
- What thoughts, feelings, or situations tend to activate this pattern?
- What am I protecting myself from when I respond this way?
- What small change could help me relate to this pattern differently?
Relationships and boundaries
- What role do I tend to take in close relationships?
- Where might I need a clearer boundary?
- What would help me communicate my needs with more honesty and care?
- How can I respond to conflict without abandoning myself?
Confidence and self-expression
- What makes it difficult for me to speak openly?
- What beliefs influence how I see my abilities?
- Where am I ready to trust my voice more?
- What practical step could help me express myself with greater confidence?
Purpose and direction
- What matters most to me in this chapter of life?
- What values do I want my next decision to reflect?
- What may be keeping me stuck between possible directions?
- What is one grounded step I can take toward work or a life that feels more meaningful?
Grief, anger, and forgiveness
- What does my grief need me to acknowledge?
- What is my anger trying to protect or communicate?
- What might help me release resentment without dismissing what happened?
- What would forgiveness mean for me, without requiring reconciliation or forgetting?
Dreams and symbolic imagery
- What emotions or associations arise when I reflect on this dream?
- What might this recurring image symbolize in my current life?
- How does this scene connect with a pattern or question I am already carrying?
- What meaning feels useful to explore without deciding that the image is literally true?
Integration and next steps
- What part of the session feels most relevant to daily life?
- What insight would be helpful to test gently rather than accept immediately?
- What support or practice could help me integrate what I noticed?
- What is one realistic choice I can make after the session?
For body experiences
If you are bringing body experiences into your intention, you do not need to craft complex questions for each one. Often, simply naming what you are noticing is enough for the deeper mind to explore what may be emotionally, energetically, or symbolically connected to it.
Please continue to work with qualified professionals for medical care, mental-health care, medication, or urgent concerns. This session can be a space for personal and spiritual exploration alongside appropriate care.
Let the questions be simple
Short questions are often the strongest. Try beginning with:
- Why...
- What do I need to know about...
- What pattern is connected to...
- What would help me relate differently to...
- What am I ready to understand about...
- What would help me move forward with...
Bring the list with you
Write your questions somewhere easy to access. You do not have to memorize them. Nelson will use your list during the session and move through it in priority order, leaving space for what naturally arises along the way.

When your list feels good enough, use the form to share context before the first call.
