Voice Chat Instructions
Important Announcement
I am switching from Skype to UNSEEN for all voice chat conversations!
This month of December will be the transition period during which I encourage all my regular contacts and new contacts to please install UNSEEN so we can speak online. For those who can't set it up or have technical problems I will do skype calls, but I prefer UNSEEN wherever possible. From January 2014 onward I will -- if I can resolve the last technical glitches on my ancient laptop -- solely be available on UNSEEN.
My motivation and the necessity of this change are due to the fact that most of my skype calls get interrupted multiple times. There are strange background sounds, people don't hear me or I don't hear them, etc. It is just not possible to have a smooth uninterrupted conversation on Skype anymore. On top of that it is a matter of security.
Once upon a time Skype used to be a very good platform for online voice and video conversations. However, since Google bought Skype the sound quality went down significantly -- and wire tapping up significantly. I am no longer willing to have multiple listeners to all my conversations and therefore I am changing to another, more secure and ethical platform. In future I will only be doing voice chat via Unseen which is an encrypted and ethical Skype alternative run from Iceland. You can sign up for it at www.unseen.is . You do not even need to download anything as Unseen is a web based application.
I apologise for any inconvenience caused by this measure. But it is unavoidable now as I had massive interference with almost every single skype call I make. I believe it is important to follow one's inner convictions with actual deeds. Skype no longer has my trust and so I am withdrawing my patronage and my support of this system and go where my privacy and freedom of speech are respected.
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti!

What you should do now
For this time of transition, until I have informed all my regular contacts and requested them to be so kind to switch to Unseen I will work with both platforms, giving preference to UNSEEN wherever possible.
- New-comers please set up UNSEEN so we can speak easily and freely about spiritual matters, such as healing or do meditations together.
Note: Please test UNSEEN with a friend a day before the session at least, so you can work out any technical issues before we speak.
- Existing clients and friends, please set up UNSEEN as soon as you can, so we can have a better experience, without constant cut offs and voice distortion which makes it very hard to get work done and mars your experience and sessions. By the way, with Unseen the sound is crystal clear and there is no interference, no lurking Big Brother... lol.
The sooner everybody switches the better, as it gives us all more time to familiarise ourselves with this fantastic program and work out any kinks. But more importantly we can save the time spent on reconnecting and having to repeat sentences in a more constructive way, with actual spiritual work.
Whilst in December 2013 I might still do the odd Skype chat with those who have not yet succesfully set up Unseen, from 1. January 2014 I am adamant that I will not do Skype chats at all anymore. I hope more people will learn about Unseen and switch to a secure and ethical platform rather than continuing to use spyware run by the enemies of mankind who seek to stifle free speech.

Setting up UNSEEN for voice and video conversations
- Go to the UNSEEN website. The service is free. Best of all UNSEEN is not invasive. They do not ask for your private info or strawman id.
All you need to give them is an e-mail address and a user name that you make up.
- Signing up gets you right into the Unseen application which is web based. No need to download anything to your computer.
- Now add any contacts you may want to add, such as your friends. (Please e-mail me your UNSEEN name and I will add you to my contacts)
- Look at the help menu which has useful screen shots to show you how things work quick and easy.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
I had some initial difficulties with audio (couldn't hear the other party) when using UNSEEN. Here is how I overcame them:

TROUBLE SHOOTING
I had some initial difficulties with audio (couldn't hear the other party) when using UNSEEN. Here is how I overcame them:
- UNSEEN works only on Google Chrome Browser. So make sure you and your conversation partner always open UNSEEN with Google Chrome. (As I do not like nor trust Google I solely use Google Chrome for UNSEEN. I never visit any other web pages, nor search from Google Chrome Browser nor with Google.)
- When you first make or receive an audio or video call you will be asked to allow Unseen to share your microphone and camera. Obviously you must accept to be able to make the call. The help page has screen shots of this procedure.
- If you still have no luck shut down all other voice programs and programs that share audio, such as games and SKYPE which may interfere with audio replay on UNSEEN. (In my case SKYPE interfered to the extent that I had no audio at all. I had to quit --not sign out but quit -- Skype and then it worked just fine.) Make sure your conversation partner does the same.
- If you have distortion or still cannot hear your partner, try updating your audio drivers in Windows and/or with a driver update software.(Windows told me my sound drivers were "up to date" when in reality they were ancient. After identifying and upgrading outdated sound drivers with Softonic's free Driver Booster things worked like a charm.
Guidelines for Voice Chat Contact
This has been written to ensure that you and others can experience a smooth uninterrupted voice chat session and enjoy my undivided attention. Reading the following paragraphs can save you and me time, stress and energy. It may even save you some money. The points below are typical issues with voice chat contact. My intention is to make life easier for all involved, so please read this carefully. Thank you!
Technical requirements
Set up UNSEEN as describled above. If you have never used UNSEEN before, I suggest you familiarise yourself with the program and practice a bit before our session, so we can speak without wasting your session time with technical difficulties or explanations.
We will have to share our UNSEEN contact details that is our UNSEEN name. For security reasons and to avoid spamming I do not make my UNSEEN ID publicly available. Here is how it works:
The Iron Rule
This I must insist on. Due to having many contacts and being much in demand I am finding it hard to have my own space or free time.
I am forced to make firm boundaries or be drained and stressed. Only by keeping my energy levels high can I do the work I do and provide the best service I can give. Therefore I respectfully ask all my voice chat contacts to respect my one iron rule:
Technical requirements
Set up UNSEEN as describled above. If you have never used UNSEEN before, I suggest you familiarise yourself with the program and practice a bit before our session, so we can speak without wasting your session time with technical difficulties or explanations.
- Your computer must have a functioning microphone and functioning speakers else we cannot speak to each other by voice chat. Please do test your sound system beforehand with a friend. Ideally this should be a few days before our session, so you can remedy technical issues or hardware malfunction before your scheduled session.
- If your computer has no speakers and/or microphone, you can use a headset with microphone. Please connect and test it beforehand!
- You do NOT need a camera for our session, so don't worry if you don't have one or it doesn't work. Sometimes it's nice to see each other for a short while, just for a more personal touch, but use of camera can slow down the computer, or negatively affect the sound at times so I don't suggest to use it for the full session anyway.
We will have to share our UNSEEN contact details that is our UNSEEN name. For security reasons and to avoid spamming I do not make my UNSEEN ID publicly available. Here is how it works:
- When you book any service that includes a voice chat session please e-mail me your UNSEEN name / id together with the other info for the particular session. I will then add you to my UNSEEN contacts and after you accept we are ready to go!
(If for any reason you do not hear from me within 3 working days please e-mail me via the e-mail button at the bottom of any page). - Please let me know you UNSEEN id and accept my contact request as soon as possible, not just a few minutes before the session.
- Try your best to be punctual.
If you are late then this may shorten your time with me. If you miss your allotted time altogether I may not be able to offer you a later session on that day. If you have missed your healing discussion I will send you a sound recording instead. If you had scheduled tuition, divination etc., we will have to reschedule and if this happens more than once you may be charged. My endeavour is to make everybody's session smooth and pleasant. Delays carry forward and affect others also and waste precious time. Sometimes unavoidable obstacles occur which are perfectly forgivable, but let's avoid the avoidable time wasting and stress! - Do not grossly exceed your allotted time.
The description of the service gives you details on the maximum length of time. For example, half an hour for a healing discussion, or you booked one hour online tuition, half an hour divination, etc. While I am not a minute miser, some people have shamelessly exploited my generosity and taken triple of the allotted time to get two-in one service etc. I will not tolerate energy vampires. If you need considerably more time than your service comprises, be prepared to pay for the extra time! Time is energy, please respect!
The Iron Rule
This I must insist on. Due to having many contacts and being much in demand I am finding it hard to have my own space or free time.
I am forced to make firm boundaries or be drained and stressed. Only by keeping my energy levels high can I do the work I do and provide the best service I can give. Therefore I respectfully ask all my voice chat contacts to respect my one iron rule:
- Never contact me, by voice or messaging, outside of arranged sessions.
Sadly, some people think that I am a 24/7 free hotline whenever they have a problem or feel bored. Others contact me to ask via chat whether I got their e-mail or to make an appointment at all times of day and night. Please understand that:
1. I have a large number of contacts. If every one of them wants to chat with me only once a month I will have no free time left.
2. If you are contacting me outside of your session you may disrupt somebody else's session, which is not fair to them and causes me stress while I am trying to multitask and remember everything two parties are saying.
3. If you are contacting me during off hours you may disrupt me in the middle of activities that need concentration and silence such as writing an article, doing website work, writing my journal, making bath salts, etc or when spending time with my loved ones.
Besides, shamans too need time to recharge, to meditate, to journey. Being on or near the computer does not mean I am available! My work is very demanding and I need my own space and time for my own spirituality, too. Please respect or you might be blocked! If you need anything, contact me by e-mail and you will get an answer during working hours as soon as I can!
Thank you understanding. Hopefully this will ensure a smooth session for all parties.
I am looking forward to speaking to you and helping you achieve balance, empowerment and spiritual growth.
