Personal Guidance, Thoughtfully Explained
Understanding Your Concern
The word remedy carries a great deal of weight in this field and almost no agreed meaning. Since most of the money changing hands is changing hands under that word, it is worth setting out what the classical material means by it.
The Classical Categories
The traditional upaya fall into a few recognisable kinds: mantra, undertaken as a personal discipline; daana, which is giving; vrata, an observance or fast; and gemstones, tied to planetary strength. There is also simple conduct, which the texts treat more seriously than the market does.
What unites them is that they are things the person does. None of them is a service purchased from a practitioner and performed elsewhere.
- Mantra, as a discipline performed by the person concerned
- Daana, or giving, directed according to the planet involved
- Vrata, an observance or fast kept over a defined period
- Gemstones, prescribed against genuine planetary weakness
- Conduct, which the classical texts weight more heavily than the market does
What a Remedy Is Not
It is not a transaction that produces a result in another person. It is not something that fails because you did not pay enough. And it is not the expected conclusion of a consultation — in most readings, nothing is indicated at all.
A practice where almost every client leaves with a remedy to buy has told you what it is, and the tell is the prescription rate rather than any individual recommendation.
- Not a purchase that produces an outcome in someone else
- Not something that fails for want of a larger payment
- Not the expected end of a consultation; most conclude without one
- A very high prescription rate describes a business model
Simple & Confidential
How Your Consultation Works
- 1
Read Before Prescribing
The chart is read fully first, and whether anything is indicated is a conclusion from it rather than an assumption.
- 2
Explain the Category
If something is suggested, you are told which kind of remedy it is and what the tradition claims for it.
- 3
State the Limit
What it is expected to affect, and what it will not, so nothing is left to be inferred hopefully.
