A psychic reading is an open channel of energies between yourself and a psychic. Consequently, your attitude and approach to the reading is as important as the psychic reader’s intention.

1. Read our Essential Preparation guide for some great tips on pre-reading preparation.

2. Have a list of questions ready for the psychic reading. It helps to write them down so you don’t forget them once you are on the psychic reading.

3. Try not to ask Yes/No questions. These questions tend to limit the flow of the psychic reading in the same way they would limit the flow of any conversation. Make the question is specific but open ended. This will encourage the psychic reader to give you more quality guidance.

4. Ask the psychic how they connect with their psychic abiltity. Are they a clairvoyant(see images)? Do they see past lives? This will help you appreciate the way the information flows and is being expressed.

5. If there are some general areas you want to focus on, like relationship, career, health etc, make sure you let the psychic know.

6. Don’t try to test the psychic by withholding information. This is the best way to create the worst atmosphere in a psychic reading. Were you relaxed when you did exams? Perhaps being under pressure may have helped you work out Maths problems more quickly, but in a psychic reading, it just makes the experience unnecessarily difficult and stressful for the psychic.

7. Be open to a different way of thinking about yourself and your problems. Hopefully, a psychic will be able to help you to create a totally different and empowering perspective about your problems. Dont come to a psychic reading thinking you have it all figured out. Be open to change.

8. Validate your psychic. If the psychic is saying things that make a lot of sense to you, make sure you tell them. This helps the psychic continue down the right track.

9. If you don’t understand something don’t be afraid to ask. Sometimes psychics don’t communicate clearly. We are human after all.

10. Just enjoy your psychic reading. The psychic reading is time to focus on YOU. Look at it as a kind of healing session, helping you to let go of the old hurts and embrace new plans for the future.

I am always saddened to hear stories from clients who have had some pretty horrible past experiences with supposed psychics readers. Unfortunately, there are always going to be some people who will take advantage of other people’s vulnerability. Thankfully, there are simple strategies and tips to making sure that you don’t end up finding yourself being the victim of a charlatan psychic £

Top Five Giveaways:

1. Don’t believe in Grandiose Promises: Charlatans don’t care how they get your money, so they will make all sorts of outlandish promises they know they can’t keep.
If you hear promises like “We’ll make your boyfriend come back 100%, Cast a spell that guarantees financial success,” or “Predict Lucky Lotto Numbers,” then run the other way quickly. Psychics can help and support you towards certain goals but they can’t make them happen. Real psychics are not Gods and they can not control other people like puppets. We certainly don’t want to!

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 skillfully gain information from you. The best way to counter this problems is not to go silent but to ask questions yourself.

5. Guessing Games : Here is what a typical guessing game sounds like.

Reader : “I feel someone around you with a name called Dave. Do you know someone by this name?
Client: “Yes”
Reader: ” Are they a friend?”
Client: “Umm…well not really, just someone I know from work.”
Reader: “Well, I feel you will be getting closer to this person in the future. Have you a grandmother who has passed?”
Client “No.”
Reader: “I feel a grandparent who has passed. Is there any other grandparent who has passed.”
Client : “Well, yes, both my grandparents on my father’s side.”
Reader: “I feel the you father’s father is wanting to tell you to make sure that you have to get your relationship sorted out”
Clients: “What relationship?”
Reader: “Umm…the relationship with your family.”
Client: “Oh…ok”

As you can see, this reading seems more based on some educated guesses by the psychic. Most people know someone called Dave and most people have at least one grandparent who has passed on. This makes for a pretty dull and uninformative reading as you can see by this dialogue

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.
