How To Find Authentic Psychics Online

If you are serious about finding a psychic, rather than simply consulting one merely out of a sense of having a new experience, then you’ll want to investigate psychics, as you would any other service provider, to ensure that you find one who is genuine.

There are several “vetting” questions that you should get answers to before you settle on a psycic.

1. Before you even have a reading, you should talk to the psychic in a “free consultation” type of way, and ask her (it usually is a her) how she works, and what kind of readings she gives.

2. Will the psychic allow you to record your reading? Genuine psychics should have no problem with this.

3. Just like any other business, psychics profit by word of mouth. However, rather than just reading their testimonials, see if you can’t visit some of these people, to ensure that they actually do exist. (Faking testimonials is not a new dodge, people across the spectrum of professions have done it).

4. Good things are few and far between. A typical psychic does not want to meet with his or her clients on a monthly basis…that’s a way to increase one’s fees, and should be viewed with suspicion.

5. What type of information is the psychic giving you? If it’s anything that requires you to give more money to the psychic – to alleviate a curse or to prevent a disaster, for example, look upon that with suspicion. (That is not the same thing as a psychic warning you that something unfortunate might happen if you take your usual way home that night, for example!)

6. If you’re talking with a psychic online, be very aware of the cost factor. Depending on how much they charge per minute, the bill could add up to more than you’re able to pay. While it’s certainly better to talk to a live person than a quiet email, best of all is face-to-face.

7. If your psychic tells you the winning numbers in the lottery… let those numbers win before you pay her commensurately! And if those numbers don’t win…that’s pretty much proof that your psychic has little power – don’t be fooled into giving her a second chance!

8. When you talk to a psychiatrist, they need to know all sorts of personal information – they need to be able to get to know you so they can help you. A genuine psychic should need no such crutches.

Different Psychic Abilities

We’ ve all seen the television psychics, TV programs about psychic detectives and ads in magazines placed by people who guarantee to restore a lost love and the like. Although the concept of physic ability is viewed with considerable skepticism by the majority of people, many legitimate studies in clinical studies have established that psychic abilities should not be dismissed out of hand.

Before you decide one way or another on this controversial topic, take a look at some of the evidence. We often tend to not believe ideas that cannot be irrefutably proven or seen with our own eyes. Here are some examples, along with a few experiments you can do yourself, that may change your mind.

Scientists in the fields of psychology and psychiatry, as well as Pascal, the famed mathematician and philosopher, determined that almost every child possesses a degree of physic abilities, usually up until about the age of six.

Any parent knows that kids have a way of knowing certain things that cant be readily explained. For example, a child may take an immediate dislike to a certain person, sizing them up in a childs manner and without apparent reason. The same child may gravitate towards another individual without explanation. They simply sense something which creates a thumbs up or thumbs down impression. Whats interesting is that childrens impressions usually prove to be correct in the long run.

Studies of children who demonstrate psychic ability also show that such abilities tend to disappear, gradually. By the time a child is ten years old, very few retain these psychic characteristics and experiences. Its theorized that as a child is absorbed into the mainstream of culture, the very idea of physic ability meets with disapproval. Use it or lose it comes into play, and peer pressure and the desire to belong soon brings about a general dissipation of this talent.

How about religion? People of every faith believe the doctrines of their faith, with absolutely no proof. If you believe in a creator, can you prove it? You cant. However, just because you cannot see your creator doesnt mean He doesnt exist.

One of the common denominators in the nature of people shown to have physic ability is that they tend to be highly spiritual. This does not mean that they are necessarily religious, although they often are. Such spiritually inclined persons feel a connection to life that goes beyond what can be quantified and seen by everyone.

Heres one interesting way you can test your own psychic ability: go online and look up some of the many psychic tests, which you can take for free. You might be shocked to discover that you, the skeptic, possess psychic abilities.

There are techniques which anyone can practice, to develop lost psychic abilities. At the very least, its an entertaining endeavor. Who knows?

Can You Trust Psychic Readings?

If you’re going to visit a psychic, it all boils down to the fact that you must believe in psychic power, otherwise why would you pay money to visit the individual?

And many people do believe in psychics, and have done throughout the ages.

Unfortunately, the psychic profession is more prone than most to have its fair share of frauds and charlatans. Too many people are too desperate in their lives, and will actually go from legitimate psychic to fraudulent psychic, until they find one who will tell them not what is true…but what they want to be true…or at least what they want to hear.

Even if these charlatans attempt to get no extra money out of their clients, happy simply to get their small payment from a single visit, they are still frauds.

When you’ve had a psychic reading, therefore, the thing to do is analyze the advice you’ve been given. Is it going to cost you extra money to follow this advice? Is it going to necessitate that you return to the psychic for more information? Those are clues that you can’t trust what the psychic has said.

An interesting book to read is Suddenly Psychic: A Skeptic’s Journey by Maureen Caudill. Caudill has degrees in math and physics from prestigious universities, and did not believe in psychic phenomena until she started experiencing them herself. Of even more interest is a book called Diary of a Psychic, written by an actual psychic, Sonia Choquette. Indeed, before you visit any psychic, give this book a read.

On the other side of the coin are books written in an attempt to debunk psychic theory, such as Science or Pseudoscience: Magnetic Healing, Psychic Phenomena, and Other Heterodoxies by Henry H. Bauer.

Another particularly good book is The Origins of Psychic Phenomena: Poltergeists, Incubi, Succubi, and the Unconscious Mind by Stan Gooch.

But that’s getting off the track. The question is.. Can you trust a psychic reading? And the answer is, if you have found a psychic whom you trust – after due diligence – then of course you can trust the reading. Unless you are being advised to take action that goes against your very principles…then it’s perhaps time to find a new psychic

What You Can Expect From a Psychic Reading?

If you’re having problems in your life, and feel the need of advice from a psychic, it’s important that you know what to expect when you consult such a person.

The most important thing is to not have unrealistic expectations. Can a psychic tell you what numbers are going to be picked in the next lottery drawing? Probably not! There are too many other psychic auras swirling around such a drawing, as everyone with money on it is expending psychic energy trying to ensure that their numbers are drawn.

So, that kind of expectation is unrwealistic. Indeed, many people have unrealistic notions of what real psychics can do for you, and so before you find a psychic, you really should educate yourself about the entire phenomena.

To that end, check out a few books on the subject. Here’s a list of some of them:

1. Psychic Warrior: The True Story of America’s Foremost Psychic Spy and the Cover-Up of the CIA’s Top-Secret Stargate Program, by David Morehouse

2. Tour of duty: The diaries of psychic Bill Ward, an authorized biography by Gayle Pasternak

3. A Psychic in the Heartland: The Extraordinary Experiences of a Small-Town Doctor by Bettilu Stein Faulkner

4. Gift of the White Light: The Strange and Wonderful Story of Annette Martin, Psychic by James N. Frey So, once you’ve familiarized yourself with how a psychic works, then its time to visit a psychic. Many people like to visit a psychic face-to-face, to see her (or him) in action. When no psychic is available to you near where you live, the gap is filled by psychics online, whether on the internet or on the telephone.

Whichever psychic you choose – make sure you can afford the readings! With a face-to-face meeting or with an internet psychic, typically the charges are spelled out in advance annd there are no nasty surprises. With a telephone psychic…the skies the limits, as to what they’ll charge, so that’s generally a bad idea.

Ask honest, straightforward and specific questions, and expect the same kinds of answers in return. Some psychics will say that you can not expect 100% accuracy in a reading – I dispute that. After all…why not? For myself, if a psychic answers even one out of four questions incorrectly…how can you trust what they say in the future? Without 100% accuracy, a psychic is useless.

Psychic Medium – What Are Seances?

Ever since the days wherein horse drawn carriages and scrolls were in use, people have always been curious about the ways of the psychic sphere. The psychic realm is indeed very intriguing, especially concepts related to a psychic medium, such as a sance.

However, in comparison to the psychic medium concept, the concept, or just the mere term sance, is hardly heard of. But then, what people do not know, is that a psychic medium is practicing a sance, from time to time.

Now you might ask, how is a sance related to a psychic medium? To answer this question, let us start by defining what a sance is. A sance is a meeting of people, led by a psychic medium, for a purpose of communicating with the spirits in the afterlife. Obviously, a psychic medium plays a vital role in the said meeting, because in order for a sance to take place, there must be a psychic medium.

Psychic mediums are not your ordinary psychics, they possess a greater power. Aside from common psychic powers like seeing the past, present, and the future, they have a unique capability — the ability to communicate with the spirits who have passed on.

A psychic medium will use their gift of mediumship to help people who want to connect with their loved ones who have passed on. Psychic mediums do this through a sance. With the psychic medium leading the sance, the medium will call upon the spirit of the departed loved one to communicate. Messages that will be received by the psychic medium from the contacted spirit, will then be relayed to the person concerned.

This is the reason they are called psychic mediums — because they are both a psychic and a medium. Generally speaking, psychic mediums are are rare, and not just anyone is gifted with this much power. Because of their unique ability, this is why a psychic medium is sought for.

There are many things that you can learn from a sance via a psychic medium. Sometimes, we do not understand why a family member has to go, and we want to know the reason, so we need to communicate with them. There are also times that we cannot attain peace without getting in touch with a needed spirit. These are just some of the reasons why we need a psychic medium and their sances.

Psychic mediums and sances can help people in many ways. However, before anything else, it is essential that a person must first believe that there is more to life after death, and they must have faith in the ways of the psychic realm, to see its full power.

What To Know About Finding Your Life Path Number

In the system of numerology, someone’s life path number can be discovered by using the date of their birth. Finding this number is a very easy two step process. To begin, simply add the digits of a person’s full birthdate together. As a means of example, if some person has their birthday on the 8th of November, 1986, the sum would look like this: 8 + 22 + 1968 = 2016.

The next step involves adding the sum of the digits in the previous step. So, someone whose birthdate sum was 2016 (as above) would add 2 plus 0 plus 1 plus 6. The final sum in this step would be 9. This is the number that numerologists work with here. To simplify this process, you can use an online numerology calculator.

These numbers run from 1 to 9, with each digit corresponding to a set of personal traits, both positive and negative, as well as the path, career, or destiny that a person may pursue. When a sum goes above 9, then the series starts over. For example, a 10 is a 1, an 11 is a 2, and so on.

Within the context of some numerology methods, there are also numbers called “master numbers.” These are all doubles, like 11 and 22, which are the most commonly recognized master numbers. 33, 44, and so forth are also regarded as master numbers by some numerologists. Those who believe in this part of the system believe people with these numbers have exceptionally more potential than those without them.

Learning of greater potential through numerology has made some proud of their inherent trait or imagined destiny, but others may get depressed or feel unable to live up to those expectations. For this and other reasons, leading numerologists have decided to throw the idea of master numbers out the window and simply incorporated these numbers into the regular one through nine series.

This is certainly a more equitable take within numerology, since no human being is inherently better than another, and the idea of master numbers may lead people to think otherwise. Numerology is simply intended to guide someone to their best possible life, rather than define them as a human being.

Tarot Psychic Readings – Introduction to Tarot Cards

History of Tarot Cards

Where and when Tarot started is a mystery. The earliest proof of Tarot cards being used is from the fifteenth century as a popular card game. Some of the beautiful Tarot decks created then are still around. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the cards were discovered and used by a number of scholars of the occult who realised that the cards were much more powerful than just a card game. The cards have since then been created or changed by connections to the Kabbalah, Egyptian mysteries, Hermetic philosophy and secret societies such as the Order of the Golden Dawn into what it is today.

Do you have to be a psychic to use Tarot Cards?

You do not have to be a psychic to read Tarot cards. Practise and training of reading your intuition will get your Tarot reading skills improved quickly. Tarot is simply just another tool to reach and use the power of the unconscious, much like meditating, psychotherapy, visualization and interpretation. In movies, psychic readings and Tarot readings are often performed by an old scary witch like lady in a dark scary room. This “Hollywood” image have created and cemented a perception of Tarot cards, for most people in a unfavourable way. Exactly how Tarot cards work has many different interpretations. Some claim that the cards are just tools for communicating with spirits, psychic phenomena or intuition. Others  mean that the number of people that have meditating on the cards have collectively created an energy around the cards.


The Tarot Cards

A standard Tarot deck has 78 were 22 of the cards are “major arcana” or trumps for example The Lovers, The Fool, The Pope and The World. In the US the standard deck is the Rider-Waite deck. Even though it is certainly not the most attractive of Tarot cards the Rider-Waite deck is the most recommended deck to start out with if you are new to Tarot. The basic meaning of the cards are the same regardless of what deck you are using, however, the specific images and language used on a deck can be more or less useful depending what type of reading you are doing. For example, many people find the Renaissance Tarot particularly good at questions of passion, mastery, and reason.

What can Tarot Cards do for you?
It can help you with guidance and finding meaning through making the connection to your source or consciousness easier. It is simply a tool for connecting to yourself and reading the signs that were always there. Most of us live our lives in a way that we let our conscious minds lead the way of our daily life, the Tarot cards helps you to connect to your inner guide and let that wisdom guide you in your choices and the paths you are choosing.

Psychic Email Readings Versus Live Psychic Readings – Which is better?

When we think about a psychic reading we tend to think about a live reading. In other words we probably picture ourselves being seated face-to-face with a psychic in their home or at a fair or we might imagine speaking and consulting with a psychic in real-time over the phone. Furthermore, in today’s virtual world we might even think about having a live psychic reading via online chat.

Yet another popular medium however for psychic readings is email. Even before the internet existed many psychics offered (and some still do!) readings through regular, old-fashioned “snail” mail. The psychic would type or even write out the reading by hand and then take a stroll to the nearest post office and mail it to the client. Just so long as your psychic’s handwriting was more legible than your doctor’s then this was a nice alternative to an in-person reading.

Of course the advent of email makes this style of reading a lot easier these days but an important question still remains: Is it better to have a psychic email reading or a live psychic reading?

This is a great question and the truth is that when you are dealing with a gifted psychic it’s just not the case that one style of reading (whether it be in person or via email) will necessarily be better or more accurate than another. This is because a professional psychic is an individual who has trained and developed their natural abilities over time allowing them to do their work “on demand” and this means being able to do readings in different mediums whether it be in person, on the phone or via email. Some psychics though do prefer certain communication channels over others (more often than not for personal reasons) so always check first that an email reading is an option.

Bearing this in mind then the main differences between live psychic readings and email psychic readings is less to do with the quality of the reading (again so long as you are working with a gifted psychic) and more to do with the differences inherent in the actual communication methods themselves. So its not the case that one is better or worse since each communication medium offers its own distinct advantages.

So what then are the advantages of an email psychic reading? Well the first one is convenience! In today’s busy world we are more often than not short of time. Between holding down a nine-to-five job, raising a family, or even studying at school and preparing for exams it can be hard to find the time to schedule a live reading with someone. The option of email therefore can save us time since it just involves writing our questions in an email and then sending them to the psychic. Then when we receive the reading its possible to open it up on the screen and if the phone happens to ring or we have top pick up the kids from school it will still be there when we come back. So psychic email readings can be an attractive alternative to live readings since they can be a great time saver.

Another advantage of an email reading as opposed to a live reading is that you have a written record of the reading which you can keep. During a live reading it can be difficult to take notes at times especially if we are deeply focused or moved by the information or guidance which is coming through. At such times reaching for a pen and writing down notes might be felt to interrupt the natural flow which has been established. Without notes though it can become easy to forget things, especially the finer details as time goes by. There’s nothing worse when, at a later date, a significant event or encounter triggers some aspect of the reading and you have to struggle to recall all the details.

Its certainly true that most professional psychics will record their live readings for you but you will still have to sift through the audio afterwards if you wish to find specific snippets or pieces of information. Otherwise you will have to listen through the whole recording again. So just having the written record is a distinct advantage of having a psychic email reading since it allows you to access all the information at a glance.

The last distinct advantage of having an email reading is that it is more anonymous than a live reading. This in turn can make it a little easier to talk about specific themes and topics then it would face-to-face or over the phone with someone. This in itself can help to alleviate the occasional nervousness or anxiety we might initially have when seeking a psychic reading especially if our question is of a sensitive or intimate nature. In truth though, a good psychic will have your best interests at heart and will do their utmost to put you at ease even whilst communicating sensitive information. Because of this, anonymity is perhaps not the best reason to seek an email reading but if this is a concern for you then its certainly an option.

Now that we have looked at some of the advantages inherent in an email reading what about any disadvantages? Perhaps the main disadvantage is that should any additional questions come to mind as they quite often do then that would necessitate a second reading. During a live reading you can always stop and ask questions but the nature of an email reading does not provide for this. You are basically committed to the original questions you wrote down which is why its important to take some time at the outset to formulate them.

As you can see a psychic email reading has its own distinct advantages and is a unique alternative to other forms of live readings. Especially if you have a busy schedule and time is a concern then this could be an excellent option for you. By all means give a psychic email reading a try but I do recommend having a live reading at some point too. Trying out both styles of reading first-hand will give you a much better feel for the distinct advantages and benefits of each.

Three Secret Tips To Find the Best Psychics Online

So you’ve decided to take the plunge and have an online psychic reading. You’re excited and perhaps also a little nervous but an all important and pressing question begins to surface in the back of your mind “OK I’m ready to have a reading” you say to yourself “But what do I do now? Where can I go to find the best online psychic?”.  You pour yourself a cup of coffee, sit comfortably in front of your pc, you type in “online psychic” into Google, hit search and then….well….then you scratch your head!

Why? Well the first thing you notice is that the internet is full of websites and advertisements all claiming to offer the “best” online psychic readings and services. But this only adds to your confusion. Not only does it make it difficult to know where to begin looking for a genuine online psychic but it also makes it daunting to know who you can trust. And when it comes to something as intimate as a psychic reading the issue of trust becomes very important.

Whatever stage you are at though in trying to find a gifted online psychic don’t worry. You are certainly not alone and the purpose of this article is to provide you with some quick and easy tips to help you find the best online psychic as fast and effortlessly as possible.

With that out of the way you can then concentrate on the most important thing at hand – having and enjoying your psychic reading! So without further ado here are three important tips to help you along the way.

1. Begin with a Trusted and Well Established Psychic Advisor Site.

The internet is full of “here today, gone tomorrow” websites and this is especially true when it comes to the world of online psychics. You want to avoid sites which are lacking in basic information such as an “About Us” page, contact information, a privacy policy and most importantly information about who their psychic advisors are and how they are selected. Without any of this information you really have no idea who you are dealing with and this should be a red flag for you to look elsewhere.

You also want to steer clear from sites which you (or probably no-one else for that matter) have ever heard of and which certainly do not look or feel professional. If a site doesn’t look professional then chances are the services it offers are not professional either. So avoid these kind of sites as well.

The best psychic sites actually have a strong brand and reputation. Naturally these are factors which are not made overnight but which take many years to build. Although there are a select handful of sites which do I personally recommend LivePerson (previously known as Kasamba) which is one of the most well established psychic advisor sites on the web.

LivePerson has been around for a long time and in addition to offering a strong commitment to customer service it also has one of the most extensive listings of live psychics available anywhere and their website is updated frequently.

One of the things I like most about LivePerson is that they have a policy that ALL live psychic sessions start free. This means that you can try out their services and the services of a particular psychic without any risk to you. Most professional psychics there are friendly and considerate people who are more than happy to offer you some free time at the outset to discuss your individual needs and questions. This takes the pressure off and allows to you time to find the psychic with whom you feel the most comfortable to have an in-depth reading with.

2. Take Some Time to Read a Psychic Advisor’s Ratings and Feedback

Now that you have chosen an established and professional psychic site the next step is to take a look at the profiles and listings of the psychics who work there paying close attention to their individual ratings and feedback. An excellent feature of LivePerson is that as a client there you have the ability to leave both a numerical rating (from 1 to 5 stars) and written feedback for each psychic advisor you have a reading with.

This information then becomes public and can be viewed on the psychic’s rating page. You can access this page (which pops up on the screen) by clicking on the yellow stars that appear beneath a psychic’s name or simply by clicking where it says “Read all reviews”.

Once feedback is published it can not be changed or altered either by the psychic or the client. As such, feedback is permanent, and if an advisor is not a good one or is having a bad day which can happen then as a user on the site you will know about it very quickly.

Reviews and feedback take a lot of the guesswork out of finding a talented psychic advisor since if clients are not happy with the services of a reader then they will be quick to say so. The overall feedback therefore is testament to a psychic’s abilities and professionalism and without a doubt it’s the number one factor to consider before choosing a reader.

3. Look at a Psychic’s Areas of Expertise

The last tip for today when searching for a gifted online psychic is to look at a psychic’s specific areas of expertise which you should be able to find mentioned on their individual profile page. Many people don’t realise that the psychic profession just like many other professions is a highly specialised one. Just as there are different kinds of medical doctors there are also numerous kinds of psychics. This is because there are many different kinds of psychic gifts and abilities each of which provides access to different kinds of information.

For this reason you want to be sure that you choose a psychic whose abilities and expertise match your own needs and requirements. For instance if your motivation for a reading is to seek information or a communication from a departed loved one then you will want to find a psychic who either has mediumistic abilities or who is able to receive this kind of information directly from their guides. If on the other hand your pet Labrador has been unwell lately and you wish to seek some guidance about her current state then it would be wise to seek out a pet psychic rather than a medium. I know this sounds obvious but you would be surprised at how many people overlook this when choosing a psychic.

So there you have it! Keeping these three important tips in mind you should now be able to quickly find a gifted psychic online without being overwhelmed by all the various psychic websites and advertisements out there. In the meantime be sure to be on the lookout for future articles where I will provide even more handy tips on how to find a genuine and gifted online psychic.

How to Prepare for a Psychic Reading

If you are planning to get a psychic reading to answer some important questions in your life it is important to prepare for it so that you get the most out of the experience. A psychic reading is a great way to get insight into your situation and find out what to do to get the outcome you are seeking for your life. There are few common misconceptions that you should not buy into if you want to get the most out of your psychic reading as well as other ways to prepare.

1. Many people think that psychics will tell them what is going to happen to them in the future and that there is no way they can change that outcome. This is a common misconception and one that you should not believe when preparing for your psychic reading. Psychic readings do tell you what is likely to happen in your future if you stay on your current path but you always have free will and can change any outcome you may have discovered through your reading. Psychics can tell you what can happen depending on the path you choose but ultimately it is up to you to choose your path and make your own future.

2.
When you go to your psychic reading go with an open mind. Prepare for you reading by thinking about or meditating on the questions you want answers to. Open your mind to all possibilities and help the psychic connect with your energy.

3. Genuine psychics do not ask a lot of questions. They only need some very basic information about you and to know what your questions are. Because true psychics do not ask you many questions it is important to think of the questions you want to ask before you go because you should not engage in a conversation about yourself revealing what you want to know.

4.
When you prepare for your psychic reading you need to develop realistic expectations. Genuine psychics are not 100% accurate; they can have bad days just like anyone else. Psychics all have unique abilities so you may not get the specific answers you want depending on how well a psychic can read you and what information they can see. Some psychics interpret readings through pictures, other through words, and some even through sounds and feelings. You may not be able to get specific information if the psychic cannot interpret the information you are looking for.

5. If you want to get the most out of your psychic reading you must be prepared to trust your intuition. A good psychic will help you to understand the meaning of their reading but you must also trust in your instincts. When you hear a psychic’s interpretation your first though as to how it applies to you and your life is usually the true meaning. Many times putting too much thought into what a certain sign means during your reading will cloud the true message.

Going into a psychic reading with an open mind and realistic expectations will ensure that you get the most out of your reading.
