Am I a Real Psychic?
A Psychic Can See You
“A reading is a divine interaction between souls in a search for truth…”
What is psychic? The mass media tells us that a real psychic can see into you, your surroundings and circumstances without any prior knowledge of you. Furthermore, even if you close yourself up and refuse to reveal anything about yourself, a psychic can still see you.
The mass media gloms onto models that exemplify this kind of divination, such as Miss Cleo. We debate among ourselves- is she for real or is it all just good acting?
Customers flock to the phones to find out. Some clients come to the phone with a “prove it to me” attitude. Some come with real need- for insight, for support. Some come with broken hearts and desperation.
Psychics seem to come in many variations as well. Perhaps some can really see all. Perhaps some are fakes. Perhaps some are simply sensitive and intuitive, able to provide useful readings through common sense, years of study and practice, and a thorough knowledge of their medium of tarot, runes, or other systems.
The Best Psychic Readings
In my own experience an ideal reading unfolds as a mutually created act. Both reader and client enter into the energetic exchange with positivity and excitement. My best readings have been when information is shared freely. When the client is open my inner voice is activated. The more we share, the more “astonishing” insights I can have. A loving and trusting relationship develops that is healing and transforming.
Accurate and helpful Psychic insight is based on:
1)Accumulated life experience
2) Being sensitive to the reader’s feelings, thoughts, and communications
3) Accumulated knowledge of the archetypes
4) “Hits,” or those miraculous and uncanny insights that seem to come from nowhere.
5) A healthy respect for my medium, the Tarot. “The cards often know better than me,” I am fond of saying.
6) Practice, practice, practice
I’ve had clients come to me who have refused to participate in this type of reading. They don’t choose to make themselves vulnerable. They have heard the stories about amazing psychics who see and know all. They get angry when I explain the way I work, and get the idea that they are not dealing with a real psychic. Of course they make themselves right, because in shutting themselves down, they are shutting themselves away from the reading they might have had.
There’s a lot of people going around playing “stump the psychic” when they come to us for readings. They only block their own reading that way, and defeat the purpose. Readings aren’t about proving accuracy, or climbing the ratings ladder, or being the “best” psychic. A reading is a divine interaction between souls in a search for truth. It works best in an atmosphere of love, trust, mutual respect, and sharing.
Divination is a right-brain function. This is the older brain, the part of us that connects with our ancestors, with the spirit world, with all earth’s creatures, with dreams, myths, and symbols. The more open and conversant you are to this part of reality, the better your reading will be.
A Good Psychic is Honest with You
A good reader will be honest with you and tell you what they can and cannot accomplish. They will try to give you the best reading they can, to tell you the truths that they perceive, to be there for you. They will honor you and respect you, and recognize the sacredness of your exchange with them.
So please don’t be duped by the mass media. A reading is a real and serious undertaking. If you are looking for entertainment or sensation, you may be looking in the wrong place. Come with an open heart and mind, and, if your reader is sincere and true, you will have an experience that is helpful, informative, and sometimes magical.
