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.
Start with your own journey
The most useful questions are self-focused. They bring the attention back to your own healing, 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?"
- How can I best support my partner?
- What is my role in this relationship?
- What am I being invited to understand about this pattern?
- What boundary, forgiveness, or truth is needed from me?
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. Honest is better than perfect.
- What is my life purpose at this stage?
- Why do I keep repeating this relationship pattern?
- What is blocking me from feeling confident in my work?
- What does this childhood dream mean?
- What is my body trying to communicate through this symptom?
- What do I need to know about grief, anger, fear, or forgiveness?
- How can I feel more connected to my intuition?

For physical symptoms
If you are bringing physical symptoms, you do not need to craft complex questions for each one. Often, simply listing the symptoms is enough for the deeper mind to explore what may be emotionally, energetically, or symbolically connected to them.
Please continue to work with qualified medical professionals for diagnosis, treatment, 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 is the root of...
- How can I release...
- What is ready to heal around...
- 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.
Bring what matters most
Your questions do not need to be perfect. They only need to be honest.
