Getting the most from your reading

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

If you have ever wondered how to get more from those precious minutes spent talking with an intuitive counselor or psychic advisor, please read on. Before logging in, a good reader spends at least a few minutes preparing themselves for the varied and often stressful barrage of upset and confused callers, but there is no denying that a better-focused caller is sure to have a better result from their reading.

All too often callers are stressed and in a hurry, thus creating a lot of psychic “static” that makes it more difficult for a reader to find the answers the person is so anxiously seeking. Another frequent problem is the caller holding a bias about what the advisor “should” tell them (thinking they know what form the answers should take). To save yourself and your reader frustration and wasted time, and to help you get the most from your readings, here are some important tips.

‘This psychic contacted me…’

Friday, February 24th, 2006

Have you ever received letters or emails from “psychics” who are total strangers, yet claim to have vital information for you?

To predict, or not to predict?

As you might imagine, I get a lot of questions in the course of my average day. Some of them I can answer quite directly, others (for numerous reasons) require a different kind of answer than the caller is expecting. That can lead to frustration on both sides.

Partly due to the way psychic matters are portrayed in the media, partly due to the influence of unethical “psychics” who claim to “know all,” and partly out of simple naive hope, many people consult psychics asking to be told “how things will turn out” in a particular area of their lives. While this can be extremely lucrative for a “psychic” who will play that game, it is not the most true or helpful way to look at one’s potential future.

Decades ago, when I was new to the psychic realm, I too believed that things could be “predicted” in a simplistic way. “How will this turn out?” “When will that happen?” and even “Will I ever do thus and so?” were typical questions… until I learned that that is not the way reality works.

Testing, testing!

Friday, February 24th, 2006

Have you ever tried to “test” a psychic? Some callers think, mistakenly, that starting off with some sort of “test” will increase their chances of choosing a good psychic or getting an accurate reading. Ironically, it usually has the opposite effect. Read on for an interesting case study.

Strange misunderstandings happen sometimes when I talk with clients. Most of them are based on people’s common misconceptions about how psychic abilities really work. The following incident illustrates some key points.
