Psychic Readings

If you are interested in consulting with a psychic there are various things you must carefully consider before parting with any money.

Firstly, do you want to personally meet the psychic or would you prefer a telephone or e-mail reading?

If you would like a face-to-face consultation, then there are various Spiritualist organisations you can contact. Organisations such as The Spiritualist Association of Great Britain and the Spiritualists National Union (in the United Kingdom) or The National Spiritualist Association of Churches in the United States, all have vetted mediums on their books who have undergone quality training and development.

Contact these organisations and they will provide you with all the information you need in booking a private consultation.

Good psychics are always aware that people are looking for the reasons why things happen as they do, so they realise that clients can be emotionally vulnerable and open to misunderstanding - particularly if they have recently suffered a bereavement.

Expectations about what should or should not happen in a mediumship reading often creates an anxiety which blocks the flow. It could be that there is a message from someone who has passed away, but guides, angels and other friends are also contacted through mediumship. Clients who are open and relaxed get most benefit from a mediumship reading.

Psychic Websites

The Internet has literally hundreds of sites offering psychic readings. Where on earth do you start? Well, while there is no guarantee that every person claiming to be a psychic is genuine, there are various things to consider before parting with any money.

The website itself. When you first arrive at the site, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is the website professional-looking, or does it look amateurish? The quality of presentation will give you a good indication as to the quality of the psychic.

2. Does the site provide a valid contact address, e-mail and phone number? If it is a company, do they provide a registered company name? An honest company or psychic will not be afraid to divulge this information as they will have nothing to hide. If these details are missing, you have to ask yourself why?

3. What sort of claims are made on the site? The more outlandish or too good to be true they are, the more you should steer clear!

4. Look for testimonials. If they haven’t any, that should give you a warning. If they have testimonials, do they appear credible or do they seem too good to be true?
When you have found a website that appears to be what you are looking for, it is always a good idea to phone the person or company in order to ask a few preliminary questions. If they are honest and ethical, they will be only too pleased to answer your queries. Questions to ask before you book a psychic reading:

1. Can I request a particular psychic?
2. What psychic arts are your psychics skilled in? I.e.. Tarot, clairvoyance, clairaudience etc.
3. Can I ask questions during the reading?
4. Is there a minimum charge for a reading?
5. How much does it cost per minute?
6. Have I a recourse for complaint if I am not happy with the quality of my reading?

By asking these questions and considering the response you receive, you will be able to judge if the company or psychic is the right one for you. It is important that you feel comfortable with your choice before you part with any money.

How to spot a charlatan - the top 4 giveaways!

1. Don’t believe in ‘amazing’ promises or predictions: Charlatans don’t care how they con you out of your money. They will make all sorts of ridiculous promises they know they can’t keep.

If you hear promises like “We’ll make your boyfriend come back to you”, or “Cast a spell that guarantees financial success,” or “We’ll help you win the lottery,” then run the other way very quickly!

2. Fatal or Scary Predictions: Predictions of death and tragedy are a great way for a charlatan to keep you enthralled (and frightened) without actually giving you any real insight or understanding about your life. These kind of predictions can often be quite traumatic for the client and my experience is that genuine psychics have no wish to create unnecessary pain and trauma for the people they read for.

3. Obscure or trivial information - Charlatans are always looking for ways to beef up a reading with comments that sound psychic but are in fact, quite nonsensical. Comments such as “I see a broken window pane in your house” or “I see a disregarded object that means a lot to you,” might actually sound impressive but on closer examination these remarks could mean anything to anyone.

4. Too many questions - There is nothing wrong with a psychic asking questions during a reading. Just because we are psychics doesn’t mean we know everything. However, when you find a reading starts becoming an endless succession of questions then you have to start wondering whether your reader is just trying to skilfully gain information from you. The best way to counter this problems is not to go silent but to ask questions yourself.

Conclusion: While making sure you keep this criteria in mind, it is important to always keep an open mind to a reading. Sometimes a problem with a bad reading might be blockages in you, not the reader! So, don’t jump to a conclusion about a reader too early in a reading.
