With all of the stress and confusion we humans process on a daily basis, it’s a wonder we make it through each day without a major meltdown! While most people’s stress manifests itself in self destructive patterns such as overeating, overspending or anger, many have found that sitting with a spiritual counselor, psychic or medium can be one of the most rewarding ways to help navigate life’s oft-rocky waters.
Whether you’re new to the experience of psychic phenomena or an old pro, the following tips will help you to make the most of your reading experience.
Make the minutes count.
While half an hour is generally enough time to address most minor issues, it goes quickly, so taking time before your reading to write out a list of questions and/or topics you’d like to cover will ensure that all of your concerns are addressed.
Know who’s who.
Before choosing a reader, do a little research to get the following questions answered:
1. How does she give her readings? Does she use tarot cards or some other form of divination? Does she also work with her guides and/or spirits? Some readers are card readers and rely solely on the cards, others use divination cards to offer confirmation and to keep from becoming overly tired. Find out which your reader is.
2. Is she a fortune teller or a spiritual counselor/intuitive healer? Each has a vastly different style and purpose. If you’re looking for a heads-up on upcoming events without needing the extra why’s and how-to’s, then a fortune teller would fit the bill. If you’re looking for someone to tell you what’s coming up and to help you change patterns or events in your life, then you’re looking for a spiritual counselor/intuitive healer. Both are psychics in the classical sense, they just deliver different types of information.
Give your reader space.
While it’s important to be conscious of time, you’ll have a much better reading if you allow the reader some space to pick up on energy. Looking anxiously at the cards when the reader is giving you his/her psychic impressions is only going to serve to frustrate the reader. If what he/she is saying doesn’t make sense to you, then let him/her know. Otherwise remember that you came to that reader for their unique abilities. Allow him/her to use them to help you. This way the reading will have a natural flow that will most likely include much information from your guides.
Relax!!
It’s important to remember that a psychic is picking up on energy. So if you come in highly anxious to hear only what you want to hear, you’ll be pushing that out toward your reader and he/she could have a difficult time picking up on anything else. This means that you might not hear the truth – which may not be as you’d wish it, but which could prepare you for what’s to come and possibly even allow you to change it to positively affect you.
Remember that life is a moving puzzle made up of billions of choices. Listen to the advice of your reader, but remember that there is nothing set in stone. We have free will to create the life experience we wish. Everything is made up of our choices, so use the information you receive from your reader to help you make the most of the choices you’ve made and to makes ones in the future that are better suited to the life you want to lead.
