So what does one do when receiving a psychic reading? I have several points to offer that will help deal with the uncertainty and confusion that is often a part of the psychic process:
First, try to be open! When one is truly open, more information comes through from spirit for you! An open channel allows God to speak. If a door is closed, how can anyone walk through it? If the phone is off the hook, how can it ring? If your energy and attitude is closed, how can the wealth of information come through that needs to assist you, help and guide you. With an open heart and open mind, all that the universe affords you can be revealed, bringing you to your highest good!
Try to call for a psychic reading when you are in a calm state. When you are upset, the reader has to try and get through all of your emotions before they can get to the psychic heart of the matter at hand. Also, when you are upset, you are more likely to call for comfort or reassurance than to hear the truth.
Don’t look to be comforted as your reason for having a psychic reading. One should always want truth and accuracy. I always say to my clients, “The only thing anyone should pay for in a reading is accuracy.” If you happen to be comforted by the information that comes through, that’s fine, but if you’re not comforted, remember, that’s not the purpose of a reading. Compare it to going to the doctor – the information may be good or bad. The important thing is to know the facts so that you can deal with it accordingly.
Take a wait and see attitude with any psychic reading. Information is just that – information. In time, whatever comes through in a reading, will be shown to be accurate, semi accurate, or false.
Don’t try and manipulate the reading. Many clients want to twist the arm of a reader to hear what they want to hear. One way of doing this is by asking leading question. For example: When am I going to marry my current boyfriend? This question already assumes many things: that marriage will occur, and with the person in question. A better way of framing this question would be “Do you think I will marry my current boyfriend, and if so, do you have a feeling as to when?”
Try not to interrupt a consultation. The psychic process is quite delicate, and can be easily tainted or distorted. It’s like driving your car. If the car hits a pot hole just once, the whole alignment can be thrown out of whack! Interrupting breaks the divine flow. When the divine flow is coming through, just sit back and listen. Receive what spirit says, as it may prove to be invaluable.
Arguing is even worse. When something comes through in a session, it is a divine gift from God. Arguing about it brings it right down to a very low, non-spiritual level, and poisons the entire process of what is being received. It’s about as productive as arguing over politics in a loud bar after several cocktails. Even if you don’t like what’s coming through, again, take a wait and see attitude! Time is the greatest barometer of what is truthful!
Write it down. Write down what comes through in your reading, and take notes. Make sure your notes capture the nuance and subtleties of what has been stated in a consultation. For example: If I say to someone, “You’ll hear form this person in 1 week if you DON”T contact them, they may write down the following: “Will hear from person in 1 week.” Then in that time period, they may try and contact the person in question, altering the prediction, and the person then doesn’t contact them! Life is not just yes and no answers, black or white. Life is full of grey tones, complexities, and contingencies. How could anyone think that a reading trumps or supersedes the laws of nature and the universe?
Don’t base your perception of a reading on your emotions or your ego. Just because it feels good to hear something in the moment, because it may be what you want to hear, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s true. Also, if it feels wrong, that doesn’t necessarily indicate that the counsel received is inaccurate. Almost always, the strangest predictions that make absolutely no sense at the time are usually the ones that are the most accurate. Why? Because the psychic process has nothing to do with logic, and life’s events, twist and turns are often illogical.
Many times clients leave bad feedback in a moment of overreaction, only later to contact the reader, acknowledging that the information originally received WAS accurate. Always remember that divine guidance is helpful, and truth is beneficial. Work with the truth, affirm the truth, and the information you need will indeed be there for your highest good.
