What do Psychics Do?
Psychics, Readers, Intuitives, Mediums, and energy workers can offer a fresh take on events in a client's life. Just as a person can talk to a wise friend and see if the friend has insights which can help them, they can talk to a psychic and see if the reader can help them move forward in their life.
Most psychic readings are not like a bolt of life-changing information. They are more like a gentle sprinkling of wisdom which helps re-frame issues. Talking to a psychic reader brings in a different perspective. If someone listens with an open mind, they can see issues in a new way and come up with strategies for dealing with problems. Psychics offer the opportunity for people to understand who they are, what is happening in their lives, and their choices for moving forward.
Psychics can explore situations, describe options, and help people choose their best course of action. Psychics don't choose for them, people make their own choices.
In addition, talking with psychics can open minds to a world of potential. There is comfort in hearing that people are not alone in this world. There is a greater picture of humanity and there are reasons why people are here on Earth. Everyone is having an adventure. Magic, mystery, and a world of wonder, exist.
In most cases, clients come to psychics. However, some psychics can help people wherever the people are located. The person doesn't have to make an appointment. The psychic might give a short message at a coffee shop or at the gym. It can happen anywhere.
And, sometimes in the middle of the night, while asleep, a psychic can help a person in need. Their soul can fly to the person who needs assistance.
The people who were interviewed for this Project provide the following types of services:
Psychic Readings
A psychic reader can sit down with a client and access information about them. The reader helps the client understand the larger picture of what is happening in their life. Psychics are often asked about love, health, jobs, finances, family members, and life path. Information from a psychic can provide a new perspective on an issue and can help a person clearly see their choices. Each choice shapes the future. Psychics can help people understand how to make the choices which keep them on the path to the future they seek.
When someone asks a question, it opens the energy and allows the psychic to give them an answer. The more specific the question is, the more specific the answer is. Vague questions receive vague answers. Clear questions allow clear answers.
Some psychics, known as Mediums, can communicate with our loved ones (including animals) who have passed to the other side.
Channeling
Psychics can act as channels, bringing forth important messages. Some psychics allow "conscious channeling," while others prefer "trance channeling." With conscious channeling, the Intuitive remains in control of their body, relaying messages. Trance channeling allows spirits from other dimensions to enter the body and use the psychic's voice to speak. The messages which come through often apply to the whole world. Universal principles are discussed.
Classes
Many psychics teach workshops to help people boost their intuition.
Coaching
Several of the psychics are life coaches. They use their intuitive gifts to help people determine their goals, then give these clients the tools to achieve their dreams.
Tool Provision
One psychic told me that when people tell her about their issues, she knows which tools to give them. She shares information so people understand that as they develop their own gifts and paths, they don't have to suffer. They can have the life they want. The tools help people return to their natural state by learning to work with others, give to themselves, be more understanding, be less judgmental, look at the big picture, and not feel overwhelmed.
Tools can help people clear obstacles, blocks, and challenges, and can help them progress in their lives. Tools can also raise a person's energy vibration.
Energy Work
Each person has an energy field which encompasses their physical body. Energy workers clean blockages out of this field, bring in fresh energy, and keep energy flowing through the body.
Sometimes, negative energies (or entities) attach to people. People will feel an unusual negativity. Psychics can remove the negative energies and entities. Negative entities can be sent into the Light, and blockages can be cleared so that people can relax and ground themselves.
Healing
A client can sit down with a healer who helps them draw positive energy into their body so that they can facilitate their own healing. This can be physical and/or emotional healing. Sometimes the healing doesn't cure the illness, but helps the client cope with the illness, or make peace with the problem.
Crossing Ghosts to the Other Side
Sometimes when people die, before their spirit can cross over, they have to come to terms with the life they have lived. When they can't make peace, they can't cross over.
Other times, people who have died in battle, or have had a traumatic accident, may not be prepared for death. They may be uncertain about what happened, or confused about where to go and what to do.
Psychics can communicate with ghosts, witness their trauma, help them understand what has happened, remind them that they are no longer bound to the Earth, and encourage them to move into the Light.
Evidence of an Energetic Universe
Many psychics provide evidence for the larger energetic universe in which we live. Bringing in messages which the psychics could not have known without an ability to contact Spirit Guides and deceased relatives, can show a connection to an unseen world.
The woman who works with table tipping told me that the reason she demonstrates table tipping is to show people that they have a connection to their Spirit Guides and deceased relatives.
The woman who provides "Spirit Drawings," says that there is something in each picture which provides evidence that it came from somewhere else. Many phenomena happen with these drawings. Information which she could not have known shows up in the drawings.
How do psychics get this information?
Every psychic works in a different way. Many psychics hear messages, see images which explain what is going on, or simply "know." They just know. Information can come through any of their senses.
How do psychics connect with clients?
There are three major avenues for connecting with clients.
1) Some psychics hold hands, read palms, or find a way to connect directly with the client's energy. They enter the client's energy field. Then, when the person asks a question, it gives the psychic permission to access the answer.
2) Some psychics prefer not to interact with a client's energy. Instead, the psychic communicates with their own Spirit Guides, angels, or Higher Self, and has their entities communicate with the client's Spirit Guides, angels, or Higher Self to answer questions. The answer travels from the client's Guide to the psychic's Guide, to the psychic. Then, the psychic voices the answer.
3) Some psychics just open their mouths and messages come out. These psychics feel that they are connecting directly to the Universal Source of Energy and Information.
Do psychics all do the same thing or do they have specialties?
In the world of psychic connection, there are many specialties. Some psychics do it all, but most psychics have an area of expertise. Some psychics predict the future, while others provide inspirational messages, communicate with the dead, communicate with entities who are not in this physical world, communicate with animals and/or help with healing. Other psychics predict financial markets and international issues.
Do psychics use tools when they do their work?
Many readers use tools to access information. For example, they may read astrological charts, explore numerology, read Tarot cards, read palms, or use crystal balls. Several of the readers felt that these approaches opened the energy so that they could access information from the non-physical world. Other readers used these devices just because their clients liked them. Clients preferred to think that the information came from the tool (such as Tarot cards) rather than think that the psychic could read their mind.
Other psychics mentioned that they liked having something like a card layout between them and the client. It gave people something to look at and provided a little physical space between the reader and the client.
In many cases, the information coming from the tool reinforces the messages which the psychics see or hear. For example, they may hear that a new work opportunity will be coming to the client. Then, they can look at the Tarot card layout and see the new opportunity showing up in the cards. This kind of feedback helps the psychic feel confident about the information they are sharing.

How to find a Psychic
The best way to find a good-quality psychic reader is to ask a friend for a recommendation. People may be surprised to discover how many of their friends have had a reading. Try to find a reader with a genuine gift who knows how to use it wisely. Look for someone who gives information cleanly (not filtered through their own perspective, ego or religious ideas). The information should be presented in an understandable way, using empowering words which help people clearly see situations so they can make their best life choices.
Each reader has a unique working style and personality. It is important to find someone who can convey messages in a way which works for the client. There are two basic situations where a person might be interested in selecting a psychic: (1) at a psychic fair, where the short readings are a sample of the psychic's work; and (2) when seeking a full personal reading. In the first situation, the psychic fair, it's best to select the kind of fair where the readers are prescreened for capability. Someone who runs the fair should have tested each psychic to ensure that they are competent. If it's a place where just anyone can set up a table, people need to be a little more cautious about the readers. Once the psychic fair has been selected, the customer should look around the room and see if they are immediately drawn to anyone. If not, they should look at the list of psychics and see if anyone sparks their interest. Every psychic has unique gifts and talents. If the client wants to connect with a dead relative, they should look for a psychic who is a Medium. If the client is interested in information on past lives, they should look for a psychic who specializes in past-life regressions. Then, if there are choices of Mediums or regressionists, they should base their decision on how they feel about the person. If they feel aligned with the reader, they will probably get a good reading. If a client is interested in a certain type of tool, they should look for a reader who uses that tool. For example, if they want a reading based on numerology, they should look for a numerologist. If they are interested in a Tarot card reading, they should go to a card reader. However, the tool which is used is often not as important as the reader's ability to connect to unseen information sources. If a person walks into a psychic fair and doesn't know which reader to select, they should calm themselves down to their center and say, "Whoever feels right, pull me in that direction," and their Spirit Guide will pull them in the right direction. They should select someone who they like, who they feel they can talk to, and who has their best interest at heart. The client should look for an affirmation in their solar plexus indicating that they have selected the correct reader. They should pick someone who helps them feel comfortable. A person may have to circle the room a couple of times until they find the psychic who resonates with them. It could be as simple as a reader looking up, smiling and making them feel relaxed. If a person doesn't feel drawn to anyone, they don't have to pick a reader that day. If someone would like a full psychic reading and is seeking a psychic they have never met, there are several tips for finding a good reader: 1) Ask for a recommendation from a friend who has had a good experience with a reader. 2) Interview several psychics over the phone to see if there is a connection. The reader should talk about their credibility and mention their return rate. The way a person feels when they talk to a reader is important. A client should pick someone they like and respect. 3) Walk away the moment a reader gets bossy, rude, or judgmental, or if the there is some sort of ego involved. Walk away if the psychic asks too many questions. Some psychics ask leading questions and do cold readings; that is a waste of money. If they try to sell something, run! 4) If the first reader isn't great, find someone else. There are many good readers and once a person finds someone they like, they can receive a world of information. You can find additional tips and information in the book, My Psychic Search: discovering what psychics do, what psychics know, and how they can help us improve our lives.

Tips for Getting your Best Reading
Here are 12 Tips to help clients get their best reading:
Before the Reading 1) Prepare a list of questions. It's smart to bring a list of questions. Asking a question opens the energy and allows an answer to be received. The Universe answers general questions in a general way. If clients want to know something in detail, they should ask specific questions. Put the questions in priority order. 2) Ask the Higher Realms and/or people who have crossed over to assist with the reading. Before the reading, people can ask the Higher Realms to send answers to their questions. They can also ask for specific souls who have already passed to come through during a sitting. There are no guarantees as to who will show up, but it doesn't hurt to talk to a loved one before a session and ask them to try to come through. At the Reading 3) Tell the psychic which life areas they want to explore. At the beginning of the session, the client should tell the psychic about any specific topics he or she wants to discuss. Psychics can talk about a variety of subjects, but they won't know to focus on a specific area, such as health, career, or love, unless the client lets them know that is their area of interest. However, some psychics prefer to start with "open readings." They provide all the information coming from the client's Guides. Once the client has heard these messages, they can ask questions. Clients can ask psychics in advance how they prefer to work. 4) Come "clean." Don't drink alcohol or take drugs before a session. People should not have a reading when they are very depressed or suicidal. 5) Bring a voice recorder or a pad of paper and a pen. People should record the sessions so that they can remember what the reader has told them. In the comfort of their own home, the information may make more sense. They will get the most out of the reading if they take the time to sit down and listen to the voice recording, or review their notes, without distraction. Many smart phones can record sessions. 6) Come alone. Clients should meet privately with readers. They shouldn't bring friends to the reading because the friend's energy might influence the session. In addition, the client may need privacy to discuss issues which arise during the reading. 7) Come with an open heart and an open mind. A client should come to a reading with an open heart and an open mind. Being open expands the possibilities. When someone is closed down, it can be difficult for the reader to connect with that person's energy. It's okay to have a healthy skepticism as long as the person is open to the discussion. When a person works with a reader, they should try to make the reading easy for the psychic. 8) Be "active listeners." Being an active listener means listening without interrupting the reader. Interruptions can disengage the energy with which the psychic works. Check with the reader before the sitting and ask if they prefer to have questions during the session or at the end of the session. Surprises and insights may shake the listener. They should keep listening. If a deceased relative unexpectedly pops in, they should keep listening. Whatever happens, keep listening. A client should not latch onto the first idea they hear and allow it to capture their imagination so fully that they don't hear the rest of the reading. They should continue to listen as the reader refines ideas and discusses alternative possibilities. Similarly, the client should not focus on the one thing that they want to hear. They may miss chunks of information while waiting for a specific message or key word. If the psychic asks a question, the client should answer quickly and succinctly. They should not keep talking and explaining. It is okay to answer the psychic's questions and confirm information without providing too much additional detail. If the psychic needs a quiet moment to recognize and relay answers, the client should wait patiently. Some clients talk instead of listening because they are nervous, or they think they need to fill the quiet spaces. It's okay to have a quiet, thoughtful moment. 9) Control emotional overreactions. If the client doesn't think the information is correct, or doesn't recognize the references in the reading, they should try not to overreact. The psychic can find the client's body language distracting. There will be time to ask questions and refine information after the reader stops speaking. 10) Ask questions. If a client hears something they don't want to hear, they should ask the psychic how to deal with the situation. Readers see energy potentials. The energy may be going in a certain direction, but people have free will and can make choices which turn the energy in a different direction. There are always multiple possibilities for the future and people can use their free will to influence what will happen. Few things are set in stone. If clients hear something they don't want to hear, they may be able to take action to prevent the event from occurring, or to minimize the impacts of the event. If they hear something which scares them, they can ask for details or look for ways to improve the situation. Readers are here to help people figure things out. 11) Stay grounded. During a reading, both the psychic and the client should try to remain grounded so that energy can flow freely. For the client, this means sitting in a chair with their feet flat on the ground. They should not cross their arms or legs because this can affect the energy flow. After the Reading 12) Schedule time for solitude after the session. People should leave time afterwards for solitude so they can think about what they have heard and allow time for the energy to heal deeply at their core. |
