HOW AN AUDITING SESSION IS CONDUCTED

A one-to-one auditing session takes place in a quiet, comfortable setting where it will not be disturbed. When auditing is ministered one-to-one, usually the auditor and preclear are seated across from each other at a table or desk, with an E-Meter set up for the auditor’s use. Before a program of auditing begins, the preclear is familiarized with the elements of auditing during a period of orientation so that he knows what to expect during the session. The auditor also ensures that the preclear has no distractions or upsets that might prevent him from devoting his full attention to the process used in the session.

Different types of auditing are used for each preclear, depending upon his concerns during the session and his earlier auditing. A precisely delineated gradient of processing steps must be followed to achieve personal spiritual freedom for everyone.

A group auditing session takes place in the Chapel or another room and commences with each of the participants seated. They may not remain seated, however, as movements and actions are often a feature of group auditing. A Scientology minister conducts the session.
