Thinking about calling a psychic?  Curious to know what your future holds…..but NOT entirely sure how to go about preparing for a spiritual advice session?  Do you have questions about the afterlife, karma, past lives, or even the idea that YOUR life has any real PURPOSE at all?  If you’ve answered YES to any of the above….you obviously are NOT alone!  Millions of people each and every year turn to all sorts of different types of intuitive advisor’s to help us add clarity and certainty to our lives, and online psychic readings, especially over the last 10 years….have become the MOST popular, and accessible type of intuitive advice there is.

With that in mind, let’s look at 7 things worth knowing BEFORE you call, chat or schedule a session with ANY type of spiritual advisor at all.  Curious to know more?  Continue reading as we take a closer look below.

1 – NOT all “psychics” do the same thing.   Understanding the type of reading you need is a critical component for understanding the type of psychic you ought to speak with.  There are HUGE differences and variations in psychic skill and knowing your desired outcome when it comes to the sort of information you seek is the very FIRST step in finding the ideal reader for you.

2 – Preparation is KEY.  Writing down your questions, and having a specific sense of what you’d like to discuss is imperative for optimizing your experience with ANY type of psychic or spiritual advisor.

3 – The telephone is not only a GREAT way to get spiritual advice, it’s actually the BEST way to prevent cheating as well.  Contrary to the psychic stereotypes that suggest phone readers are NOT as good as those who read face to face, most serious scientific study of psychic abilities will ONLY use readers who work “blind”.  (no face to face or physical contact, or even close proximity between sitter and psychic)

4 – Beware of psychic scams!  Anything that advertises “100% free readings” is doomed to disappoint, and more often than not, is going to be a bait and switch style service that you want to avoid.

5 – If you are hiring a psychic network, look for services that offer reasonable and affordable rates that you can afford, offer top notch customer service, money back guarantees and have a track record of success that can be measured by client and caller testimonials and favorable reviews.  Remember, good psychics have FANS and if a reader is good, you should have no problem finding folks who will step forward to share their appreciation and their positive experience.

6 – If calling an individual psychic or medium who works independently, look for the same things as above, but also try to find folks who have lots of social media fans, friends and followers, and who are actively engaged in the “business” of spiritual service.  By this I mean, in my own experience, readers who are involved in the spiritual community on a full time basis, either locally or online, are MUCH more likely to be the “real deal”,  rather than folks who may do “psychic readings” as a part time gig, or every once in a while.  Remember, many GENUINE psychics are also published authors, talk show hosts, speakers, life coaches, workshop organizers and in general, are very active and well known for their contributions to the spiritual community.

7 – Lastly, ENJOY yourself!  Too many people take psychic readings far too seriously.  If there is one thing I have learned from my own 20 years of experience with this work, it’s that life is meant to be embraced for the adventure it is….and a good reading will reassure you that not only is it all the noise and nonsense JUST “small stuff”, at the end of the day, we’re all on a magical mission MUCH bigger than our bodies, and much longer than our short time here can possibly reveal.  So revel in that….and remember that no matter how “serious” something may sound, it’s all just a small piece of the puzzle that is YOU 🙂
