How to Phrase Your Question
It’s important to word your question clearly so that energetically the most aligned information can come forward. For ethical purposes, the question can only be about YOU. Without each person's specific permission, Amara cannot ethically access information about another individual. For example, let's look at these two questions that have ethical issues:
"What does my brother need to change to
better communicate with me."
"Why does my partner have
difficulty dealing with anger?"
These questions need to be rephrased from the point of view only as it involves you because we can only be responsible for the changes *we* can personally make in any given situation. It is always easier for us to change the way we approach situations than to have expectations that another person will change their behavior. If we rewrite the above two questions, this is how they would look:
"What do I need to do to better
communicate with my brother."
"How can I help my partner deal with
his/her anger problems."
Subtle changes in wording can shift the guidance you receive. Here are a few helpful guidelines:
-
Begin your question with who, what, where, why, or how.
-
Avoid "when" questions — as future outcomes can shift with free will.
-
"Who" can be tricky, so if you must ask using this word, consider "who" as possible qualities of a person. Example:
-
Who should I date? (where you're looking for a name) versus ...
-
Who is the type of person I should date? (where you are looking for qualities)
-
-
Avoid "yes" or "no" questions because your consultation gives you the opportunity to receive a deeper, richer answer beyond a simple yes/no response.
-
Avoid "will I" or "should I" because these are other forms of asking yes/no questions and you want the opportunity to receive a deeper, richer answer than this wording offers.

Receiving Wisdom: The Process and Timing
Amara receives your question and uses a method called shamanic journeying to seek guidance (learn more about shamanic journeying). This ancient practice involves listening to a specific rhythmic drumbeat to move into a theta state. In this state, she opens to higher wisdom and spiritual guidance to receive insight aligned with your highest good.
You’ll receive a written or video response within 24–48 hours (two business days, excluding weekends), sharing the key messages, impressions, or symbols that emerged during the journey — along with Amara’s interpretation to help you reflect and move forward with clarity.
Why Context Matters
Shamanic journeying often brings messages that require interpretation. It helps to include a little bit of backstory when asking your question, so the metaphors retrieved during the journey make more sense within the context of your situation.
If you ask: "What is happening in my relationship right now?" you may get a brief statement: "It started out smoothly, but now there's a rough patch."
If you ask a question with context — such as:
"My partner is considering leaving because of another relationship. What is my best course of action?" — it allows for more specific, layered guidance and metaphor that speaks directly to your situation.
