How To Spot Psychic Scams

As a true psychic, it pains me to no end to see the scams that are constantly perpetrated on the public. It is no wonder that psychics get a bad name. The problem is, how do you tell the true psychics from those who are just after a quick buck? The truth is, it's not very easy. The best psychic cons are very hard to detect because these people know what they're doing and they pray on the fears and desperation of those who need help. However, there are a few glaring signs that the psychic you're about to get involved with is nothing but a con artist. This article is going to reveal the most glaring of these.


The first sign of a con is when you go to have a reading done, and it doesn't matter if it's a Tarot reading, Astrology reading or whatever, and you're given a price quote for the reading and then suddenly towards the end of the reading, the psychic says they see something that will require further interpretation, however to do that, there will be an additional charge. That is the first sure fire sign to say, no thanks, pay for what's been done so far and get out of there quickly. Yes, the information you've just been given is most likely a load of bull, but at least you've saved yourself additional expense.

Another big psychic scam is the phone psychics. I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but no psychic is so good that they can tell you you're future over the phone. A true psychic needs to be in contact with the subject and phone consultation, or whatever you want to call it, is not contact. Also, the person you're speaking to when it comes to these phone sessions, is many times just a hired hand who is reading off a script. So do yourself a favor. If you can't sit face to face with your psychic, don't fall for the pitch, because most likely, that's all it is.

Finally, if you're going to a psychic, take note of the appearance of the establishment and the way the psychic is dressed. If everything looks like something out of a bad B movie, then most likely this person is not a psychic and just a scam artist. When I do a reading, I wear a suit and tie. I don't put on all this fancy garb and I don't have garlic and shrunken heads hanging from the walls. If you see anything that looks cliched, don't fall for it. A legit psychic will not go through all the stereotypical nonsense.

Like I said, it is sometimes hard to pick out the scam artists, but some things are very obvious. Hopefully, these few things that I have mentioned will save you a lot of heartache and money besides.

To YOUR Divination Fulfillment,

Free Psychic Readings - Free Online Psychic Readings

You may have noticed that all over the internet, online psychic readings are becoming more and more popular by the minute. There are hundreds of websites just waiting to take your money in exchange for their services.

The question is whether it's worth it to even bother having a psychic reading online. With so many scammers on the internet, it's hard to know who to trust. Can psychic readings be done over the internet?

Are these even real psychics, or are they working in a huge office feeding you lines? We'll discuss these questions in more detail below.

Can accurate readings be done over the internet?

In my opinion, yes – they absolutely can. The reason I firmly believe online readings are possible is because I know that energy is in no way limited by distance. Energy doesn't travel through distance the same way we do. It exists on the ethereal plane – a place most people have no understanding of. On the ethereal plane, our energies are always connected, all the time.

However, in order to be given an accurate online psychic reading, you'll need a reader with real talent and experience. Even if our energies are interconnected, a psychic must be able to understand how to use these energies in order to give you a true reading. That brings us to our next question.

Are these online psychics real?

That depends, and the answer varies quite a bit from one psychic to the next. In my opinion, most professional psychics, in general, are fake. I don't mean to offend anyone, and I will explain my reasonings, so that you too can understand why I don't trust the vast majority of psychics.

There are many job openings for psychic chatlines, most of them paying their workers according to how long they keep their customer on the phone. I have a few acquantances who posess no psychic abilities, yet these people were hired as "psychics" by these companies. In order to make ends meet, they were forced to keep their customers on the phone for as long as possible, because the customer is paying by the minute.

When searching for a legitimate online psychic reading, keep in mind that many of these companies are charging you quite a bit for this service, and make more money the longer you talk.

I recommend you choose live, in person psychic readings when possible. This way you can meet with your psychic face to face, and determine how you feel about them. Please try to remember how important your own intuition is.

If you have a really good feeling about a reputable psychic, chances are they are the right reader for you. Likewise, if you meet with a psychic who gives you a bad feeling inside and has an unclear pricing structure, look elsewhere and leave their presence as soon as possible.

If you still prefer to have an online psychic reading, ask around forums to see who other people have had good experiences with. You may be able to find a great psychic online if you do your homework.

Ask readers who offer online services these questions:

  1. How long have you been performing psychic readings?
  2. How long have you been doing this online?
  3. Do you have any testimonials from past customers?
  4. Are you right 100% of the time?
  5. Are you able to connect to any given person whenever you wish?
  6. How will I be charged for your services?
Pay close attention to the answers they give for questions number 4 & 5. If they say something to you indicating that they are always right and can make psychic connections at will, you should be suspicious because they are most likely lying to you. Search for a psychic as long as you feel you need to. Don't settle for anyone based on prices or desperation for a reading. Choose carefully and you may be able to enjoy your online psychic readings.

Are Psychics Real?

There are many individuals today claiming to have psychic abilities. Some have made quite lucrative careers out of these claims. But are they real? Can they truly see the future? Do they actually have the ability to speak to the dead, foretell future events and recount past lives? I believe that it is almost impossible to predict the future of another person. It is much easier to predict your own future; after all it’s your life, who could ever know more about it than you? As far as speaking to speaking to the dead and recounting past lives, well I’ll keep an open mind about such things but my personal hunch is that most people claiming to have these abilities are less than genuine.


Many people claiming to be psychics are in fact frauds. But the same can be said about many doctors, lawyers, politicians, salesmen, or people in any other profession. One of the problems with determining which psychics are genuine and which are not is that there are no definitive guidelines for measurement. There are no professional policies or standardized practices to adhere to. There is no established governing body to report fraudulent psychics to.

Unlike other professions which have regulatory or licensing protocols to follow, there are no such standards for psychics. Anyone can call themselves a psychic and begin practicing professionally.

Fortunately there are some ways to determine whether a psychic may be misrepresenting themselves. A professional psychic relies heavily on reputation. A psychic with a bad reputation soon becomes a former psychic looking for a career change. If you are considering paying for the services of a psychic, ask for references and testimonials of satisfied clients. If a psychic is reluctant to provide such information it may be wise to search elsewhere for psychic services.

The best regulation of the psychic industry is word of mouth advertising. Frauds and con artists gain a bad reputation very quickly these days. A psychic with confidence in their abilities will have no problem with providing this information. Do your homework, ask others with an interest in psychics who they would recommend.

One thing to watch out for is anyone, psychic or not, who tries to use fear, intimidation, dis-empowerment, uncertainty, doubt, or any of a range of similar tactics to get you to hand over your power and fork over your hard earned money. One of the oldest scams around is for a fortune-teller, or con artist claiming to be a fortune teller, to tell you that you are under a curse of some sort, that "evil spirits", "bad mojo" or some type other of curse is causing whatever sort of problem you may be having. This of course leads to being asked for money, usually being asked for money several times as part of an ongoing “treatment” to rid you of your horrible curses. The scammers try to convince you that they can fix your problems, exorcise demons, remove a curse, but it will take more time, more readings and of course more money. This turns into a kind of blackmail with you acting as a sort of willing victim. Beware of this scenario. If you feel you are being conned then you probably are.

Trust your own intuition in these cases and back out of this situation gracefully. You will be amazed at the change in attitude of the con-artist when they realize that you are no longer willing to hand over your money. Be strong and trust yourself to do the right thing. Most of this is plain common sense, but many times, especially when people are under a lot of stress or in a vulnerable state, plain sense just isn't very common.

Choosing Your Psychic Medium

Psychic mediums are those who claim to have special abilities to communicate with spirits of the dead. They seek to prove that that the human personality continues to exist even in the "afterlife". Their main occupation and means of livelihood is to help families of the deceased communicate with their loved ones who have passed on. Mediums take their work seriously and regard themselves as a class distinguished from fortune-tellers and other psychics. However, there is not much evidence that these individuals really have the power to break through to the "other side".


The Two Forms:

According to the followers of this trade, "Psychic Mediumship" is considered to exist in two forms – Physical and Mental.

Physical mediums conduct private séances to link spirits with the living world by way of physical manifestations such as raps, audible voices, body movements etc. It is also claimed that these mediums, while performing psychic rituals, are able to conjure materialized figures of the dead, though confirmation of such phenomenon has never been established.

Mental mediums, on the other hand, use their minds to perform their psychic abilities of contacting the "afterlife", which include Clairvoyance – when they see the spirit, Clairaudience – when they hear the spirit, and Clairsentience - when the presence and thoughts of the spirit is sense.

Psychics and Psychic Mediums:

Though mediums are also considered to be psychics in the sense of the term, the main difference between regular psychics and mediums is that psychics do not claim to communicate with spirits of the dead. They, on the other hand, perform certain activities that involve predictions and postcognitions. For example, while "psychic detectives" claim to help solve crimes by employing their psychic investigative and sensing abilities in providing information such as when, where, and how; psychic mediums would rather try to contact the spirit of the victim, in an effort to identify the criminal.

Famous Psychic Mediums in History:

While scientists and other skeptics discard the theory of psychic mediumship and raise numerous questions on its credibility, there are some people in history who, and incidents that have continued and managed to baffle many experts and men of science.

One of the most famous among the earliest psychic mediums is Helen Duncan, born in 1898. Her main area was in physical mediumship in which she held séances at home and spiritualist churches. Duncan's rise to fame is contributed largely by her alleged ability to conjure physical manifestations of the dead. She was arrested a number of time for fraud, vagrancy and conspiracy during her career. However, she continued to practice her trace till 1944, and there are still many incidents concerning her psychic abilities that remained unexplained till today.

Daniel Dunglas Home, born in 1833 in Edinburgh, Scotland, is considered to be the most remarkable psychic physical medium of all time. He conducted several séances during his career which lasted till 1873, in which many inexplicable events took place. Home is best known for his alleged ability to float on air or levitate. After conducting a series laboratory condition tests, even the noted scientist, Sir William Crookes found Home's many performances baffling and credited the man for being gifted.

Today, the most well-known medium has to be James Van Praagh, who's made numerous appearances on NBC's the Other Side; been featured on the Dateline, the Today Show, ABC's 20/20; and been interviewed on Oprah and Larry king Live. His books such as "Talking to Heaven and Reaching to Heaven" and "Healing Grief" also continue to hit the bestseller lists.

How To Find A Phone Psychic

Where do you go to find a phone psychic to talk to? I was always skeptical of phone psychics, but there are many of you who find them to be very helpful. However, with so many choices out there, how do you find a phone psychic that you are comfortable with? Certainly it isn't easy, but there are some tips you can go by to find one you like. You should check on line, watch your late night television carefully, and ask around. Take those three simple things into account and you will be with your phone psychic in no time


The first place to look for a good phone psychic is actually the same place to first look for a lot of things: on the internet. The best place to start is with a good search engine. Type in the search phrase "phone psychic" and see what kind of response you get. Likely, it will be way too many to completely check out. You can try to check out the top two or three hits on the list, or you can search for a more specific response. Try searching for a phone psychic in your specific area or that specializes in the problem or question you may specifically have.

The second place to look for a phone psychic is, simply, on television. Phone psychics often advertise on television and specifically they do so during late night or very early hours. The ones you see advertising on television are generally more local to your area so may offer you the opportunity you are wanting to hook up with one. Most will even offer you a few minutes free so that you can see if you like the phone psychic to whom you are speaking.

Thirdly, you can find a phone psychic by talking to like minded friends and family. Talk to those close to you that you know are using a phone psychic. Ask them where they found theirs. Also ask them if they like who they are using and perhaps you can use the same phone psychic. By talking to those who are using the services, you are more likely to find one you are comfortable with. Your friends and family know you well so it will be easier for them to tell you a good place to find a phone psychic. You don't get that personalization through a television or internet ad, so make sure you are asking around.

If you like to use a phone psychic to answer questions or help you contemplate a problem, you may have trouble finding the right one for you. There are so many out there that it can be difficult to know who to talk with. Like with anything, it is best to do your research. Check the internet for local or topic specific phone psychics, check out your television for ads, and talk to like minded friends and family to find the phone psychic that is right for you.

Jeane Dixon- Psychic to The Stars

Jeane Dixon is one of America’s most famous psychics. Born in 1918, Ms. Dixon rose to national prominence as a psychic after President John F. Kennedy’s death in 1963 when it became known that she had predicted this event 11 years before. This seven-time author was the psychic advisor to many celebrities, including President Ronald and Nancy Reagan.


Controversy continues to surround her, even after her death in January of 1997, as many continue to question the truth of her Kennedy prediction. According to the story, Jeane Dixon predicted this back in 1952 when Kennedy was still a Senator. She had a vision while at a church near her home in Washington. She didn’t have a name, but she knew a young, blue-eyed man, whom she knew to be the President inaugurated in 1960, would be assassinated while in office.

Critics say the prediction was vague, at best. They cite the quote from an interview a few years later, “As for the 1960 election, Mrs. Dixon thinks it will be dominated by labor and won by a Democrat. But he will be assassinated or die in office though not necessarily in his first term”. (Parade, 1956) In addition, a more recent prediction by Ms. Dixon in 1960 had Richard Nixon winning the presidency.

But in 1963 Kennedy was President and Jeane Dixon began having disturbing premonitions about his safety. She tried, to no avail, to contact him and warn him of the danger she saw. And, of course, on November 22 that same year, he was shot to death during a parade appearance in Dallas, TX.

And the legend continues. Five years later she was taking questions after a talk at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. When asked about Robert Kennedy’s chances of being president she replied, “He will never become President of the United States because of a tragedy right here in this hotel”. A week later Robert Kennedy was shot at a rally at the Ambassador Hotel celebrating his win of the California primary. He died the following day.

She is known as the “Psychic to the Stars” because of her immense popularity amongst the rich and famous. The Reagans were often hounded about their use of psychics to set the President’s schedule. Jeane Dixon was their psychic of choice early in his presidency, but later switched alliances to one of her rivals, Joan Quigley.

Jeane Dixon’s popularity grew when a biography written by Ruth Montgomery became a best seller in 1965. “A Gift of Prophecy: the Phenomenal Jean Dixon”, told of hundreds of accurate predictions she made over the years. This made her in great demand as a lecturer and it was around this time she started her highly successful syndicated horoscope column, which was eventually printed in newspapers all over the world.

No psychics are ever perfect. All have faulty predictions. A respected mathematician, John Allen Paulos, who coined the phrase, the “Jeane Dixon Effect”, measured Jeane’s imperfect predictions. This is where psychics prove a few accurate predictions and forget about the hundreds that never come true.

Some of her more notable failures include: 1) World War III would begin in 1958, 2) a cure for cancer would be found in 1967, 3) Richard Nixon would be a good president and Barry Goldwater would be vindicated and 4) the Russians would land on the moon first.

Jeane Dixon led a colorful life and gave us something to think about with some of her predictions. She’ll remain one of the most well-known psychics in modern history.

How to Calm Your Nerves Before a Psychic Reading

Giving a psychic reading can be extremely challenging in the sense that you have to know how to calm your nerves down before offering a psychic reading to another person. Most psychics find that a psychic reading drains their energy. A psychic energy drains your energy because you are using your mind to create something that is unspoken of for a psychic client. A psychic actually sess pictures in their mind for another person and interprets them for the psychic client. It can be extremely stressful for a psychic because they feel pressured to give the psychic client an accurate psychic reading.


When a psychic client hears the psychics words, they may or may not believe in what the psychic is saying. The psychic must not allow the psychic client to control the psychic reading. The psychic client cannot see what you are seeing. If you find that the psychic client is constantly interrupting you during the psychic reading, then you may decide to either cancel the psychic reading or let your psychic client know that they are distracting you from seeing through your third eye. Many psychics do not work on the psychic hotline because a psychic reading is often rushed. When a client is paying the psychic by the minute, the psychic may feel rushed and bombarded by question after question. When the psychic is doing the psychic reading for the client in person, the psychic usually tells the client what they see without any questions asked. The psychic has more control of the reading when its either given in person or at a distance. When someone keeps interrupting your vision, its hard to tell them what you see. It’s not your fault if you are giving inaccurate information if the psychic client keeps on interrupting your during the psychic reading. It can become very frustrating for you to get interrupted every time that you are giving a psychic reading.

Before giving anyone a psychic reading, make sure that you are ready mentally. You must practice some form of prayer and meditation before each psychic session so that you can ensure yourself that you are in tune with the psychic reading themselves. The more in tune that you are with a psychic reading, the more in tune you will be with the understanding of what the psychic reading actually means to both you and to your client. You may also want to light a candle during a psychic reading to create more of a peaceful energy between you and your psychic client. The more peaceful that you are during the psychic reading, the more attentive your psychic client will be to you as well. Always allow your own spiritual energy to see a psychic client warming up to you. Give yourself a pat on the back each time that you allow yourself to focus on something very real. The psychic reading is supposed to help the client to gain an understanding of themselves better and their current surrounding situation. Remember to stay calm during the psychic reading because if you get nervous, you may indeed give out inaccurate information.

How to Find a Free Phone Psychic

Although the opportunity to receive free psychic advice via the internet is much greater than obtaining a free phone psychic reading, it is possible to make a free phone connection with a highly qualified psychic available for guidance through a variety of readings including the use of astrology and numerology or even contacting deceased family members to resolve emotional issues.


Referrals are the key to acquiring free phone psychic time to further explore the unanswered questions in life and receive guidance from a psychic. One program gives the participating customer 30 minutes of pre-paid time for psychic phone readings with the referral of every three friends or colleagues. Each referral must actually get psychic phone readings and have those verified before the free minutes are rewarded.

Introductory offers are always available at a reduced rate and a free phone psychic reading is occasionally available during a specified call-in date and time as a promotional offer. This information is usually available at the websites for various psychic providers and often included with email updates when callers register.

The reward of free phone psychic advice is an incentive for first time members who sign on and commit to a pre-paid plan with the provider. Introductory offers of one free question for a phone psychic is also a way to sample the advice from different psychics.

Television and radio appearances by professional psychics with an established following and audience will provide advice seekers the opportunity to ask a brief question and receive guidance along with a free phone psychic connection. In order to participate, the caller must be willing to have their question and voice aired on the television or radio program. It is not always necessary to reveal your name to the psychic or the audience. Check the website for your favorite psychic for schedule/event information.

Psychic Intuition - Psychic Ability

Intuition means an instinctive awareness of an impending event. You feel something is going to occur, though you cannot explain the reasons of its occurrence. The impending event casts a deep shadow on your thoughts and you cannot trace its origin. It is a kind of unconscious knowledge. It may even appear as a vision before your mind’s eye. A mother may feel that some thing ominous has happened to her son who is at the war front and soon thereafter she receives news that he has been grievously injured.


Intuition quite often plays a significant role in taking important decisions at critical moments even though all the rational arguments and evidence may go against that decision. There are numerous examples of intuitive decisions taken in:

  • war
  • business,
  • share market,
  • establishing new relationships,
  • treks,
  • expeditions and so on.
You postpone your flight for no ostensible reason and then find that a crash has occurred in the same flight.

In sports and athletics, a baseball coach expects a hot hand meaning that a player will hit the ball again even if he hit it before and his guess often proves correct.

Intuition is synonymous with sixth sense, the third eye or extra sensory perception. Scientists trace the origin of intuition to the unconscious mind, which becomes more active in certain situations and influences our thinking process. And since intuition may spring out of the unconscious mind, it becomes difficult to explain it rationally.

Some people like psychics and seers are more intuitive than others and they accurately predict the course of events. The declarations of the psychics in quite a number of cases are termed "anomalous cognition".

The reason why the psychics and seers are more intuitive is that they have honed their mind/intellect to listen to their natural feelings. They have learnt to tap their unconscious mind in a more creative way. Or, it may be explained that they have learnt to keep their active mind relaxed and still to enable it to listen to the intuition emanating from the unconscious mind.

Moreover, stilling and controlling their mind helps them to connect with the Universal Mind that is the ultimate repository of truth which appears in form of intuition.

Are Psychics Real?

If you have ever wondered "are psychics real?" you are not alone. Many people ask them selves this very same question every day. The answer is often not an easy one but for thousands of years, people have turned to psychics, and clairvoyants for love, romance, and life advice. Some say psychics even have the ability to communicate with the spirits of the departed.


However, over the years claims of spiritualism and psychic powers have been so widespread and the reports of its effects so numerous and impressive that it was inevitable that scientists would be attracted to the alleged phenomena. Parapsychology the science that studies these phenomena focused on many areas including telepathy, clairvoyance, hypnotism, spirits, spiritualism, and the history of spiritual manifestations.

Although Parapsychology is still considered a fringe science by many scientists it still merits the attention of renowned educational institutions such as Princeton University and Berkley. Princeton offers the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) degree and the University of Berkley in California awarded the only American accredited degree in Parapsychology to Jeffery Mishlove in 1980. But in saying this I am putting the cart before the horse.

The pioneers of modern Parapsychology began using the experimental approach to psychic phenomena at Duke University in the 1930s under the direction of Joseph Rhine. Subsequently Karl Zener one of J.Rhines associates developed the world renowned Zener card test for testing ESP abilities using the scientific method. These ESP tests were conducted at Duke University in one of the first Pavlovian conditioning laboratories.

Parapsychology progressed throughout the 20th century and adopted current technology as it became available. The use of more sophisticated methods of paranormal investigation advanced as technology did. In modern times advanced electronic equipment is often used to test for psychic phenomena. This is because paranormal events reportedly cause energy disturbances across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Some speculate that energy is drawn from the surrounding environment to power psychic events. Modern day paranormal investigators monitor these environmental energy changes with a variety of modern instruments including EMF detectors, temperature sensors, static electricity detectors, ionization detectors, motion detectors, EVP recording devices, RF detectors, and radiation monitors.

So, whether you believe in psychics, paranormal activity, or spiritualism the fact of the matter is there is currently hard scientific data documenting the anomalous psychic events which occur in the everyday world around us. In addition for thousands of years unexplained phenomena have been documented throughout history. Are millions of people crazy? I think not. I assure you that the spiritual realm does exist and I am not alone in that belief. Many scientists, layman, and spiritualists share the same views about our universe. Even some world renowned physicists speculate the need for more than one dimension to explain life as we know it.

My best advice is to try to keep an open mind and an objective outlook about things that we do not fully understand. that is unless you believe the sole criterion of reality is our limited human ability to quantify, tag, and label it. After all we can not see the wind but we do see the affect it has on the leaves as they blow about. Does this mean wind does not exist just because we cannot see it?

In closing I leave it up to you the reader to decide for your self the answer to the question at hand. But, know this my answer to the question "are psychics real?" is yes. Psychics, psychic abilities, spirits, and ESP are real whether you believe in them or not.

Phoney Psychics

Being a psychic, and having worked on line as one for the past several years, it still surprising me how many people fall for the hype and nonsense some of these so-called psychics write about themselves. So here is a guide for anyone that wants to call a psychic.

Understand something. The psychic industry is NOT regulated. There are no rules a psychic has to abide by. There is no test given to see if the person qualifies as a psychic. Anyone with a deck of beginner tarot cards can claim to be a psychic.


If a psychic claims to be an angel sent from heaven to help in your love life, or wax endlessly about how great they are, avoid at all costs. You can look at what others have written about the particular psychic you are interested in calling, just understand some psychics call each other just to give good ratings. The higher the rating, the closer to the front page for their listing.

Never choose a psychic that is part of a group. Every group I have ever seen exchanges information about their callers. Once they see your screen name, they check to see if you called before. If so, they read what the other person has written and voila they start telling you things about yourself without you saying a word.

Be very careful what you tell this stranger. Do not give out more than first names, birthdays and possible city or state where you live. Some people think that talking to a psychic is equivalent to talking to a priest in confessional. It isn’t the same at all. You don’t know if you are speaking with a real psychic, a phony, a criminal, or a nut. If a psychic says he (or she) needs your address for numerology to give you lucky numbers. Hang up. If a psychic knew the winning lottery numbers, that person would play those numbers, not give them out to a stranger for a few bucks.

Too many of these so-called psychics will keep you on the line for as long as possible by agreeing with you and basically telling you what you want to hear. AFAB - anything for a buck - is their motto.

Avoid any psychic that says for a price they can grant your fondest wish, or make the person you care about come back to you. If a psychic tells you something bad is about to happen, but they can help - for a price - hang up.

Never send money to a psychic who asks it be sent via Fedex or Western Union. If one does , a red flag should go up in your mind because this is a scam. These psychics might also tell you a special spell or ‘service’ is needed. They happen to have this service as a special offer and reduced the price for this week only. Bypass the offer.

If psychics charge a lot of money per minute, it does not mean they are good. It means they are greedy. I am not talking about psychics that have their own sites, because they are usually real and you will get your money's worth. I am talking about the ones that work for on-line companies.

I have heard of psychics offering to be able to grant the caller’s heart’s desire, turn back time, make the caller more attractive to the opposite sex, guarantee a legal issue will be found the caller’s favor, and increase the caller’s financial situation. All for a price. The caller’s financial situation is increased. It gets worse because of the monies spent on this nonsense.

Paying someone for a ‘spell’ so you can get what you want, is ludicrous. If you were meant for this to happen, it would, without any outside help. If you are not achieving what you want, look for an answer as to why not, not an easy ‘fix’ that will not work. True, some do for a very short period of time, but then you will be in the same situation you started in, so why bother?

I hope the above information has been a guide for anyone reading this. Just remember, anyone can claim to have psychic powers, very few actually do.

Spiritual/Psychics - Are They One?

There are many Spiritualist/Psychics. Are the two synonymous with each other? Not necessarily. You do not have to be a psychic to be a spiritualist and visa-versa even though it turns out that one is usually both. A spiritualist is by definition someone who believes through witness that there is life after death. A Psychic has sixth sense perception and is sensitive to other phenomena.


So, with those two ideas in mind let us explore the concept of a spiritualist/psychic. A spiritualist is more than likely a medium. A medium is an intermediary between this world and other dimensions where one can communicate with spirits and entities that reside outside of ones being. In order to do that one must have some level of psychic ability. This ability usually is an inherited gift that one is born with.

Even though one is born with the ability to channel or communicate with spirits and entities sometimes one has to develop and hone their gifts. In this case they can study under a more experienced psychic or medium to expand their natural talents. When one is divinely blessed with the talent to channel it usually manifests at an early age. For example those children who see and talk to people that no one else sees may actually be talking to spirits.

There are two ways spiritualists/psychics/mediums can channel the other side so to speak. One way is to go into an unconscious state of being called a trance. Once in a trance the mediums body becomes receptive to receive the spirit on entity physically. The spirit or entity takes over their bodies to communicate to those present. The spirit or entity may offer guidance, warnings to help or conduct healing through the mediums hands. Another way a spiritualist/psychic/medium can communicate with a spirit or entity is hearing, seeing and interacting without being totally unconscious. One can do readings this second way as well by using tools such as tarot cards, crystal balls glasses of water and other things. A spirit guide helps assist with the reading but is only visible to the reader.

A Spiritualist/Psychic is able to tune into other frequencies that people that are not spiritualists, psychic or mediums cannot feel or see. These are other planes or dimensions where different spirits and entities reside. Most Spiritualist/Psychics have a particular spirit guide or guardian angel that they communicate with on a regular basis.

Psychics Are More Than Just Fortune Tellers in Today's Complex Society

Psychics in today's society are having to deal with more complex clients than they ever have in the history of the art of psychic reading. They are having to deal with multiple problems such as: divorce, money issues, business concerns, love affairs and more. If you take a look at the average psychic, they are having to help people from all walks of life. However, why are so many people turning to the psychic hotline for help and not to their doctors?


As a fellow psychic, I can tell you that my clients range from professional doctors to real estate investors. I have never done a psychic reading for a low income client for pay. Psychics usually keep rates of $1.00-$5.00 per minute. It is shocking that there are people in the world today that are willing to pay this much money for a psychic reading. I realized that people need answers and they are willing to pay money for it if they have to.

I am a real psychic and you will find thousands of people like me in the world today. We are dealing with complex issues and our clients trust in us to bring them some good answers. Psychics are known to be highly intuitive and often correct about there predictions. If you have ever had a good psychic reading, you will see why so many people want to have a psychic reading over and over again.

Several clients have told me that I am better than a doctor because I am caring, loving and well spoken. I can even see into the future and into their past. I believe that they are correct. However, I also know that I am not a medical doctor or even a licensed therapist. However, people are telling me that I satisfy them more than their counselor does or psychiatrist. I believe that doctors are loosing their genuine care for patients and that's why people are turning more to the psychic hotline than anything else.

I was recently in a hospital because I was having stomach cramps. I felt as though the doctors did not care about me. I felt like they were just doing their job and hoping that I was alright so that they could send me on my way. I did not get a warm feeling from them at all. I felt as though they did not care. The next day I decided to have a psychic reading because the doctor said that my stomach problems may be do to stress or my diet.

The next day I found a psychic at Lily Dale Assemblies in Lily Dale New York. The psychic was able to soothe me spiritually and she gave me accurate details concerning my life. I was happy that I was able to receive some answers that day. It is something that my medical doctor could not give to me. My medical doctor said that my stomach problems were probably do to stress or something developing that he could not see yet. I had a better experience at the psychic's office than in the hospital.

Shockingly my clients have had similar experiences. One client that I shall call Shelly told me that she had seen a psychiatrist for years and a psychologist. Neither one of them was able to help her because she felt as though she was just another client. Just someone giving them money every week. She felt as though they just wanted her to come in and leave when her time was up. Shelly said that her experience with licensed psychiatrists and psychologists were not good.

It is obvious to me that Shelly is not alone. There are literally thousands of people in the world today that feel the way that she does. These people can also pay a psychic $1.00-$5.00 per minute to talk to them. Psychics must be doing something right if they are drawing the rich and successful to them. In my opinion, doctors need to be a lot more caring to their patients if they are looking to compete with psychics.

I always tell my clients that I am not a licensed counselor or doctor, but they still tell me that I have a caring heart and that I am a good psychic. That is why I have repeat business as a psychic. Most psychics that I have met genuinely care about their clients and people in general. Psychics have a bad reputation for scamming people and for being dishonest. People that say this should look at the heart of a real psychic and see that they do psychic readings because they care about people so much.

The fact of the matter is that psychics today have to deal with a lot more than just a ten minute tarot card reading. People are looking for answers to their complex issues. They are asking questions about their broken marriage, business failures or start ups, terminal illnesses like cancer and other questions. The clients always want to know what the psychic sees.

The days are long gone when you could just walk into a psychics office and pay $5.00 for a psychic reading. Now you can expect to pay between $20.00-$300.00 for a decent psychic reading. As the times move on, we are going to see a lot more psychics charging big bucks for readings because most psychics have very busy schedules. The psychic industry is growing at an enourmous rate and that says that more and more people would rather spend their money on fortune tellers than on professional doctors.

Psychics Are More Than Just Fortune Tellers in Today's Complex Society

The big question of the week is whether Tropical Storm Isaac will grow into a sizable Hurricane like the other large Hurricanes already this year in the 2006 Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Season. Me thinks it will and well I am not alone either as the weather charts, graphs and satellite photos from the NOAA, National Hurricane Center in Miami and the videos on the Weather Channel all seem to have meteorologists a little concerned.


And well they should as it has already been a very expensive Hurricane Season and we are only half way thru. The Hurricane Hunters also could use some more aircraft along with the NOAA, which could use a few more Gulfstream super weather equipment fitted aircraft. Some are psychics have stated that Isaac could be a biggie storm and really pack a wallop and its size and shape do provide some insight to such a more scientific view.

It is really all going to be about the “I” in Isaac; that is to say the formation of the eye-wall of Tropical Storm Isaac, to see if it accelerates and tightens. Some say it will others are not so sure and yet maybe those psychics know something we do not? Maybe, just maybe Tropical Storm Isaac, which just increased from a Tropical Depression within a few days will become the full on Hurricane some are predicting. No matter what we must watch out and be careful to protect our people with early warning and fast relief if Isaac becomes a full on Hurricane. Consider all this in 2006.

What Most Psychics Don't Want You To know


How do you find a good accurate psychic?

You could look up the yellow pages but any good psychic will have enough word of mouth business and web site traffic that they would not waste the money on a yellow pages advert.

There is always a hot line psychic. The advantages are immediate response and you can pay by the minute. Is it a good idea!

he reality is many of these psychics make about 10 cents for every dollar you spend and they are prepared to read for you at a moments notice!

Personally I would not recommend a hot line psychic. A number of my psychic friends have told me about their terrible experiences with psychic hot lines, which range from underhand tactics to keep you on the phone as long as possible and more worryingly the psychics were expected to read from a pre-rehearsed script.

The likelihood is many of these hot lines are poor very value for money. One thing is for sure if the psychics are prepared to work for $10 bucks an hour at a moments notice you have to assume the chance of getting a quality reading by a hot line psychic are very remote.

Disillusioned your next stop is your local metaphysical store however if you think about it these psychics are all part time psychics that need the foot traffic of the store to be busy. Some of these psychics may well be good but lack the experience of a full time psychic who have their own client base. In short you may well get lucky and get a fairly decent reading at an attractive price. If you’re on a tight budget and don’t have any life changing decisions to make then this would be a fairly attractive option as prices will be around a dollar a minute.

How about a psychic fair, all the psychics in one room and you get to pick! If you really need your reading to be in person then this is an excellent option however you have to be very selective. Look for an excellent presentation, brochures, business cards a banner or a poster; these are all good signs of a professional psychic that makes enough money to afford to invest in their business.

Particularly good signs are the psychics that collect your email and have a web site that has a real domain name rather than some myspace or freebie hosting account; these are the real professional psychics who know how to market their skills. You will spot them from across the room they will ooze confidence and be busy all weekend long.

If you see an out of state psychic who gives you good vibes, go with your gut only an exceptional psychic is willing to pay for flights and hotels plus their booth fee and still expect to make a profit. Expect prices around $2 to $3.50 a minute, if they charge less they are probably not that good.

Ideally your first stop should really be a word of mouth referral from a trusted friend or your next best bet is to search on line. Surprisingly the phrase psychic is not a particularly fruitful phrase to search for as you’ll end of with directories full of Google adverts or encyclopedias and skeptic sites.

Look form more refined searches when looking for a quality psychic, search for psychic medium or better still international psychic mediums are really the psychics psychic, when a psychic wants a reading they look for psychic mediums.

However you will have to search a bit deeper as you will not get a consultation with the celebrity psychics such as John Edward or James Van Praagh as they are too busy with group sessions and book promotions. Before you pick up the phone you must consider the following very important points when selecting your psychic

  1. Is this psychic better known for their TV, radio or books than their psychic ability as many a psychic that can write profitable books have been overly hyped by a great PR and marketing team.
  2. Is there price both realistic and affordable to the point you can justify the benefit to you. This is very important as rates can vary from $75 to $750 dollars for 30 minutes however please note you will not get a reading 10 times better for 10 times the price!
  3. Be selective check out the top twenty psychics in MSN, Google and Yahoo, you should see a few psychics covering all the search engines. It is easy for a celebrity psychic to buy links in directories and flood the search engines with book reviews to dominate the top spots in Google however it is much more difficult to get into all the search engines purely on merit.
  4. Lastly avoid the paid psychic listings; many of these are hot line or psychics that can’t get ranked on merit. None of the paid listings are in the top twenty organic search engine positions! Some of these paid listings are $2.50 per click. An old psychic hot line trick is to sell your contact details to online marketers to make even more obscene profits! I repeat avoid the paid listings if you want to avoid a sea of spam email.

By now you are sufficiently educated to make an informed decision, good luck and when you do find that one good psychic tell your friends.

Debunking Psychics


Have you ever been curious about your future? Have you ever called a phone psychic to get some answers?

If you wonder how “psychics” work, read on. This article is for you.

Most “psychics” are plain scammers. They use cold reading to make calculated guess about the sitters. Cold reading is an interactive psychological technique which extracts information from a person through verbal and non verbal cues.


More often than not, psychics utilize known psychology techniques that can apply to almost anyone. An example would be claiming the sitter is cursed and he or she could lift that curse for a fee, because most people visit a psychic when they are down and depressed, “being cursed” is a quick, convenient reason to blame. Paying the fee to lift the curse would be the quickest solution to their complicated life problems.

There seems to be several common factors in psychic readings. The psychic usually:

* Skillfully extracts information from non verbal cues such as breathing patterns, voice, dress, skin color, and body language.

* Makes statements that seem to give information when they are actually out to fish for it. E.g. Prompts feedback from sitters by saying “I see a man in uniform, why would that be?”

* Feeds back to the subject what the latter wants to hear

* Makes general “Barnum statements” such as “You are worrisome on the outside but insecure on the inside.”

The sitter of the reading is the key to a 'successful' reading. The sitter's willingness to connect vague 'clues' came up by the psychic will often decide how successful the reading is. Many sitters who try to contact their deceased loved ones are very motivated in the first place, and will take the psychic's message as a sign that he or she has made contact with the other side. That is why psychics subtly encourage cooperation before and during the reading. Once the psychic gains the trusts of the sitter, the latter usually actively supply information and clarifications.

Although facial expressions and body languages could mean differently to people from different cultural backgrounds, many psychologists believe that certain facial and body expressions are universal to the mankind.

How to tell dominance: People who dominates have a tenancy to stand up with an erected body, speaks slowly and rarely, and look people in their eyes for an extended period of time. Because of the demonstrated link between testosterone and aggression, people with square jaws ( testosterone induced feature) are thought as more domineering and aggressive.

How to tell submissiveness: Submissive people touches themselves a lot when they are confronted with a difficult situation. This is because human have an inborn mechanism acquired very early on in life to link physical touching with comfort and safety.

Most important to keep in mind: Real, powerful psychics don't advertise on the back of a supermarket magazine and do readings for $1.99 per minute.

A Glimpse Into the Psychic World

Now that I no longer work for any on line psychic company, I want to talk about some of the things that go on with these companies. There are two very large companies that have psychics working for them. These psychics are considered sub-contractors and are responsible for their own taxes. Since these companies do not send out 1099 at the end of the year, they basically are telling their sub-contractors declare as much or as little as you want to the federal government.


y doing this, these companies can also declare as much or as little profit to the government.

Although there are many sites online for people to get psychic readings, most are part of these two companies. A reading on - yahoo for example, is really connecting to one of these two sites. I remember there was a company that offered 99 cent readings. This was part of one of these companies. It had 'new' psychics working on there for them to get clients who would then be transferred to the main company.

The companies charge anywhere from 40% on up when someone calls a psychic. As I have stated over and over again, there are no regulations or guidelines for psychics. Anyone and everyone can claim to be psychic. All these people have to do is agree with what the caller is asking about and give positive feedback. It does not matter if this is the truth because most of these so called psychics would not recognize the truth if it bit them in the butt.

Hollywood made a big deal about soul mates. Now almost every one of these psychics have something saying how they will be able to connect you to your soul mate - just call them for the ridiculous amount of money they charge per minute. Are you interested in someone that is married and has children? No problem, that person will definitely leave their family to be with you forever. Just to make sure, the 'psychic' will use a 'love spell' on that person.

Spells do not work. Candles do not work. Curses only work if the person whom the curse is put on believes in them. Subconsciously the cursed person is making the curse work. All three of these are a bunch of garbage.

People also call psychics to find out their future. We make our future. The choices we make today affect our tomorrows. There are no easy answers. There is nothing that can be done to reverse previous choices. There are no spells that can reverse time, although I have seen where psychics claim this can be done, for a price.

Some of these companies have spyware. Anyone that calls one of these companies and 'chats' automatically has downloaded this spyware onto their computers. There are soldiers that still call these companies, although the military has forbidden their computers to be used in this manner. This gives the company access to military information. We are now talking about troop movement, logistics, and military plans.

There are callers that are mentally ill. They steal from family to pay for calls to psychics. The psychics probably know this, but a buck is a buck and how they get it does not bother them.

I have seen where some so called psychics claim to have predicted events. This is because they have seen where true psychics have put predictions on line. When these predictions come true, others immediately claim to have said the same thing. No one checks if this is true. They just automatically believe it.

I am thinking of one specific 'psychic'. This woman charges something like $7. a minute and she does not know her butt from her elbow. The word 'psycho' should be used in front of her name. This woman claims to be a top psychic, and tells people what they want to hear. She also makes it a habit to say negative things about any psychic she knows is real. She has been listed on scam sites for years, but people still call her.

http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff181894.htm This is for anyone that wishes to read about psychic scams.

I have mentioned groups before. Any psychic that belongs to a group keeps notes on every caller. Anyone in the group can access these notes. If the same person calls another in the group, the second psychic amazingly knows everything about the caller.

If anyone is interested, go to any psychic website and check out what hype the psychics are writing. Automatically discount any psychic that mentions spells, candles, etc. Next, discount any that mention help with love life. Also ignore any that claim to be a top psychic. See how many are left on these sites.

The companies that run these sites know most of their so called psychics are phony. It does not matter. As long as they make money from lonely, confused, unwary people, they will continue to allow it to go on.

If anyone reading this feels as I do, that something must be done to start protecting innocent people from some of these scam artists, call or write to the Federal Trade Commission. If enough people demand an investigation it will happen. We stopped Ms. Cleo. We can clean up this mess also.

Whom do you call Psychics?

All of us have certain amount of extra-sensual powers. That sudden feeling that there is someone outside the door in spite of not having heard the bell, or that horrifying dream about your aunt’s illness which somehow came true are all the silent work of that little extra-sensory capacities you and I both possess.


Usually you brush them off as your sixth sense working over time, but what they actually are short glimpses of the subconscious potential you posses to mentally connect with events happening or about to happen around you.

Psychics are different from you and me, who usually ignore a correct guess as a lucky shot, simply in terms of their recognition of their capacities. A number of us are intuitive but very few among those actually take their talent seriously enough to further hone their skills and reach some sort of perfection. Psychics, whether trained or natural ones, recognize their skills and choose to nourish it till at some point they grow capable of attending to every single event occurring around them with far deeper concentration and focus than any regular person would. To put it simply, Psychics have a rare ability to pay attention to things as compared to ‘regular’ people.

A Little slice of History…

Psychic predictions and phenomena have been witnessed (though unknowingly) in various junctures of history. However, the very first ‘professional’ psychics emerged only in the 1840’s with the Fox Family of Hydesville, New York. This family was, it was claimed, regularly ‘visited’ by spirits who were determined to prove that life continued beyond death.

Following the ‘ghostly’ visitations the 2 daughters of the house discovered their inherent capacity to communicate with people from the ‘other world’ and therefore went on to showcase their talent at various locations.

Their popularity immediately caused a dozen such groups to spring up almost overnight and thus began what was later termed as the ‘Spiritualist Movement’.

Early Psychics usually took the help of various fantastic ‘acts’ as a part of their reading. Sudden materialization, table tipping etc. were all common place enough. Today however, Mediums and Psychics rely mainly on their own mental force in order to receive and relay information to those who seek it.

How do they work?

Each of us have what is termed amongst Psychics and Mediums as the Spirit guide, a sort of Guardian Angel’ish figure. This Spirit Guide plays a very important role in the Psychics attempt to obtain information and build some sort of a connection. Your Spirit Guide allows any Psychic trying to access your life into areas, which you would want him/her to go to, and thus protects you from any sort of undue or unwanted invasion.

Your spirit guide guides the Psychics spirit guide through information regarding you allowing her to see certain facts of your life, which may be, or may not be, bothering you in some way. This ‘metaphysical’ connection is what allows the Psychic to know about you in ways, which you would not expect him/her to. Thus the mental Powers of a Psychic is what exactly sets them apart from us. A deliberation of powers and specially a capacity to control and maneuver their thought process in order to access someone else is also an unique capacity.

Can you be a Psychic?

As mentioned earlier, all of us have Psychic potential, however most of us do not tap into it. It’s true that some Psychics are born with a special gift but just like every brilliant musician isn’t a prodigy like Mozart or every fine artist is not a Picasso many Psychics are ‘non-natural’ or trained. Yes, Psychic abilities can be acquired through hard work and perseverance, provided you posses a certain amount of sensitivity and kindness of course. They also need to be thoroughly responsible since the sort of knowledge and truth they have access too can easily become a burden for most. Occasionally some tragic event, like say the death of a loved one etc. can shock people enough to open up a whole new psychic realm for them, marking their new journey as a Psychic.

Psychics - Sharing The Light

Psychics and spiritualists help us see into a mystical realm not readily apparent to us. Peering into the mysterious spiritual dimensions beyond our own allows psychics to retrieve information that often helps us understand the physical plane we exist in.


Often times the information gleaned from the mediums communion with the spirits helps less fortunate individuals come to terms with issues causing difficulties in his or her life.

Unfortunately coping with the gift of heightened psychic awareness is a troublesome even disconcerting task at times. This is mainly because psychics and psychic abilities exist outside the mores and folkways of society. Mediums are often viewed as charlatans or tricksters out to make an easy dollar off of an innocent unwitting victim.

Even psychics with the best intentions may find them selves being ostracized by main stream society. Because of this some mediums choose to abandon their gifts for an easier more socially acceptable lifestyle.

Trying to fit in is never a good idea and being psychic is no exception. Mediums that try to hide their spiritual gifts do so at the risk of losing their true meaning and purpose in life. This denial can lead to inner strife, turmoil, and unhappiness.

Sharing your inner light is the only true way for gifted individuals to attain peace and happiness. Helping others is the deeper calling that psychics must obey. Charging a fee for a service that is invaluable to some is no crime and should not be frowned upon. As humans we all must eat and have shelter. Psychics are in no way immune to the needs that every other human being has.

Trying to survive in this world is hard enough without having to worry about being persecuted by others for being different. Although, persecution of the unknown and misunderstood seems to be the norm throughout history it does not make it right. Trying to understand and empathize with an open mind is the only way to really be free of social stigma.

Harboring resentments and bitterness towards individuals who do not know any better only occupies time and energy better spent on more productive endeavors. I beseech all of my brothers and sisters in the light to reach beyond this world and its societal constraints and see into the realms of true spiritual prosperity and happiness as we make our way into the eternal light to come.

As we are all travelers in this plane of existence for a fleeting blink of an eye try to spend good measure on things that truly matter. Focus on helping humanity especially lost souls. Lest we forget our true purpose on this planet to walk into the great beyond and be freed of our heavy debt that has burdened us for so long.

I call to all those seeking truth, light, and eternal peace to teach the world one person at a time to receive the gifts of the universe.

I hope all that understand take time to share the cosmic knowledge we have been blessed with. Despite the negative energy we may feel from non-believers please remember it is our spiritual obligation to try and teach the true meaning of life and the golden rule to all.

Simple Tips for Choosing a Psychic Who Meets Your Needs

If you are looking for a well respected psychic is important to take the time to search for one. Just assuming that any person calling themselves a psychic actually is authentic - could be a huge mistake not only financially but also possibly emotionally as well. Taking advice from someone who claims to understand you more than you do can forge a very strong relationship.


You don't want to take any advice from someone who isn't really sensing your true needs, let alone start to trust and see that "psychic" on a regular basis if none of what is said is even true or applicable to your needs or sense of well being.

It is always a good idea to get the feedback of friends/relatives who visit psychics. Of course, you must remember that does not always mean you will relate to them as well. Again, the client/psychic relationship is a very personal and sometimes strong bond. Even if your best friend loves their psychic does not mean you will. The psychic may be very talented, yet maybe your personalities clash - you may be looking for a psychic with less abrasive techniques. or other different needs and qualities from others.

It is great if you can find a free first reading. That way you can try different psychics without having to spend $50 for each. Of course, it should be easy to find a few that seem credible. If the reading seems to be too vague and vary few statements seem to fit you - then you need to move on. You should not have to try too hard to find meaning in what is being said - do not just assume that any psychic is correct. Not every statement has to be correct (good psychics never promote themselves to be 100% - that is not possible). Therefore if there are statements made that do not relate to you or do not happen in the future - that's ok - but there should be more right than wrong statements in a reading.

You should leave the reading feeling inspired with a knowledge of the direction that you need to take in your life and feel that it is a direction you want to take, rather than simply following the recommendation of your Psychics intuition.

A few other things to consider when choosing a pychic.

You should be in control of the reading - not the psychic.It should be your choice when you make the next appointment. Do not allow the psychic to pressure you into another session. If the reading was worthwhile for you - then you will make another appointment when you feel you are ready.

Personal Experience With Psychics


Have you ever used the services of a psychic?

I don’t know if they are people with real powers. However I must admit that for long time I’ve been curious about if they can really give you advice and that advice can be useful. In fact, in my life, I’ve gone 3 different psychics.


One of them wasn’t really good, because he was giving me only some old speeches that most charlatans give to everybody. Like, “I can see that you are a very intelligent person”, “You must be good with your parents”, “If you study hard, you’ll pass that test”, and that kind of “advice”.

But, how do you know if somebody has real powers if many people are out there just trying to get your money?

Unless you want to ask somebody with some experience with certain psychic, the only way is just to go and find out by yourself.

Yes, I’ve done it and found 2 very good ones.

For example, I went to this old lady and without me saying anything, she told me hat I was there because I was sad and worried because I loved a girl and that I wanted us to be a couple. She was right! How could she know that when I didn’t say anything but my name? I didn’t ask how she knew that but she gave me some good advice but she wanted to do some “work” for us so that we could be happy forever. I didn’t do that because I wanted our relationship to be natural and not forced for any kind of esoteric work.

Of course, it’s not easy to pick a good psychic. Fortunately, the ones I went to, gave you a very cheap reading; either hand-reading or cards. And only then, when you were convinced of heir ability, you might choose the complete service.

I’ve known some people who go for months to some psychics and they paid some money every visit without getting real results. And I know there are many more people in this situation. I’ve helped as many people as I can by telling them about the psychics I’ve visited and they are glad that I told them where to go because now they trust them as mush as their own mothers. That’s what they told me!

In fact, I’ve been so far as to take some of these guys personally to my recommended psychics without getting any money for that. It’s just for the happiness that I got when I see that they feel much better and, that’s what it all matters, to help people.

List of Psychic Abilities - Special Skills for the Psychic Set

There are a wide range of psychic abilities. Psychic, in more academic circles anyway - refers to a much larger set of skills and phenomena than "knowing what is going to happen". While many of these psychic abilities can be studied in a lab setting, making them available to the discerning eye of scientific inquiry, many of the more esoteric psychic skills tend to defy convention and closer analysis. ( Which of course makes them that much more fun to explore! )


Some of the different types are listed below:

Automatic writing: To do this you need a pen and paper and no thought whatsoever - just write. You can stop whenever you want. Read what you have written and most likely you will be very surprised. This is said to be the writings of your subconscious mind or even that of an unseen force. Some even find that their writings are more intelligent and impressive than if they tried using conscious thought.

Channeling: This is done when a spirit uses a psychic to communicate. Most often the psychic's voice will change because it is not their voicebox but that of the spirit.

Clairaudience: This is also a very interesting ability. It is that of hearing sounds not audible to other humans. Psychics say they can either hear people "talking" to them as if they are standing next to them or in their minds with different voices.

Clairvoyance: This is the ability to see what is not physically in front of you - but with your mind's eye. This is how some psychics see spirits. They are seen either as a physical body or as a picture.

Precognition: This is knowing about an event before it took place. Many people have dreams that they later find have come true. This is likely to happen to most of us - however, when it happens many times than it becomes more and more impressive.

Psychometry: This is knowing about a person through touching their personal belongings. While looking for missing persons, many psychics ask to be given a personal object of the person first.

Remote Viewing: This is the process of knowing what is happening in another location in the present time - such as who is there, what they are wearing and what they are saying.

Telepathy: This is quite simply reading the minds of others. This is still under debate on whether the power even exists. It is more likely psychics are reading other's emotions rather than their actual thoughts.

Getting The Scope Of Psychic Readings

A person with a psychic gift is no different than a normal human being. It is just that this person has developed or was naturally gifted to perceive information about the world through a different lens.


Many people put psychics up on a pedal stool thinking psychics must be all knowing or must be some higher form of spiritual being. While it is true they were blessed with innate ability to access information through other senses, it is not true that they are a higher spiritual form of a human being. They are humans just like a normal person and with that they can be affected by their own experiences in their own personal life.

I say this to you so you can keep in mind when you get a reading. Never give over your power to a psychic during a reading and if something doesn’t sit right with your own gut, by all means make sure you follow your own intuition.

Sometimes the universe is funny, and sometimes a psychic doesn’t always get it right during a reading. They are human beings and after all we as human beings are fallible.

With a psychic for some reason we expect them to be perfect and they aren’t.

The best time to use psychic advisors when you are not so confident or when you need someone to help you discern what your own intuition is telling you or to help you open up to new possibilities.

Sometimes your logical mind, morality, emotional wants, needs and fears can get in the way of your own intuition and this is where a psychic reading can truly help. The psychic advisor, through tapping into your situation with her psychic abilities, can help you gain clarity about what your own intuition and the emotions of people in the situation.

By using psychics as a trusted psychic advisor in your times of need, a psychic advisor and reading can help you see more clearly the road that lay ahead. In doing so help you see potential positive choices, as well as, pitfalls or shortcomings that may come into play with a particular situation.

And for the truly gifted psychics, who have wisdom to share, they can help you create the type of life you want by sharing their nuggets of wisdom with you, so you feel your own power and intuition. Thus enabling you to create what you want in life.

With that said use the psychic reading wisely not just for the short term prediction but for your long term health and happiness.

Free Love Tarot Reading Or Psychic Reading - When Asking for a Freebie is Appropriate!


How to get a free psychic reading?

If you are just interested in getting a psychic reading. It is often best to try one that is offered for free - that way you can tell if it is something you are comfortable with without regretting later about paying a high price for it. (Some people may THINK they are comfortable with having a stranger tell them things about themselves - until after the reading when some may feel violated and insecure.)

Therefore trying a free reading is best to experience what a psychic reading is all about.

A free reading is also a great way to try different psychics to see which one impresses you the most. Some may just not be very good, possibly con-artists, others may be great - but just not what you are looking for. Therefore, again you can experience the psychic's ability without paying 5 different psychics - $50 a piece. The most important thing to remember with any reading - especially the first one - is not to give any personal information to the psychic - that way you can clearly judge who gave the best reading.

If you think about it, and are sincere in your intention to develop a meaningful realtionship with a psychic, it is really not much different than picking a real estate agent, a personal trainer or any other professional who you expect to have a close working relationship with! There are many highly regarded personal trainers who probably would just not well for you or your "style" and that is pretty easy to see for most of us. Picking the right psychic should be looked upon within the same light ( no pun intended..:-)

The free reading will not be that in depth. The psychic will give you just enough info so that you realize they are referring to you - but not that much to be too invasive. Remember most psychics live off of what they make through their business so they are not going to do too much work for no money.

Lastly, psychics are often critized for being fakes and con-artist - some are. So when it comes to free readings - many will use that to pull you in only to charge too much the next time for a reading that isn't legit. Therefore when searching for a psychic, make sure they are certified or licensed. Ask around- the best way to get a free reading with a honest psychic is to find someone who has had already experienced what that psychic has to offer.
