Can A Psychic Reading Be Too Vague?

I got a letter from a woman who was very dissatisfied with a reading she had gotten from another psychic. She felt the answers were very vague, that they did not give her any information she could use to move forward, and specifically the responses about a past life could mean anything — or nothing: no time, no place, no information about herself in that life. Just a platitude. And because the reading was one that she ordered via email, she was not with the psychic at the time and could not ask any clarifying questions.

How can you avoid being in the same situation?

There are some questions I get over and over again about psychic readings.

· What constitutes a “detailed” reading?

· How do I make sure I’m getting a good one?

· Can a psychic help me understand a dream and tell me if it is, as I suspect, a past life?

Let’s go right to the past life situation. A past life, even if only described in a few sentences, should give the client a definite feel for character/personality, a time period, perhaps a country, and a bit about WHY this is important to recall during this incarnation.

Examples might be:

“The constant conflict with your sister in this lifetime stems from a life when the two of you were brothers, and she stole your inheritance during the Franco-Prussian War.”

“This soul has come in as your best friend in many lives past, but chose to incarnate as your father this time to give you extra support. He has ongoing Karma with your mother stemming from a life with her in 17th century Tibet.”

“You have died or been killed several times because you chose to have children out of wedlock, including during the most recent previous life: in Chicago during the 1940s. Therefore, this time you chose to focus on a life unburdened by children of any kind.”

When you as a client sit with me and ask for a session about your past lives, I will often give you a whole scenario. But past lives are my specialty, and I am not sure that my level of detail is a common thing.

Can a psychic pick up on a dream and identify it as a past life? It has happened.

In fact, one of my favorite client stories is about a past life reading I did that described a life during the Civil War. In that life, my client had been heavily involved in the Underground Railroad.

The scene I unfolded for her during trance was the same dream she had been having for years, right down to what the building looked like and the dress she was wearing at the time.

And she hadn’t said a word about it to me before the reading.

Does this happen all the time? I wish it did! But it happens for me often enough that I know it’s truly possible and not just an occasional fluke.

Meanwhile, if you have a specific past life you are interested in, try giving the psychic just a couple of salient details (something like “I keep seeing myself as a child in front of a crude building”) and see if what they have to tell you matches up, or at least correlates well, with the information you’ve been given through dreamtime.

As for the detail situation, I would only tell the questioner that I myself am all about giving details because SHE is the one who needs to make decisions about her life — not me. So I would not count this reading, if this is all it was, as detail.

To be fair, however, part of the problem may be that she received a written reading. Frankly, I hate reading by email to the point where I no longer bother with them; I can’t get the information I’m receiving down fast enough.

I far prefer either phone readings or recording the session to send you. When I speak, information flows better, and you get more of it because it doesn’t have to process from the brain to hand to keyboard to computer page.

There are a lot of good intuitives out there, so don’t give up. Just choose wisely. Always do research on them ahead of time, ask for references, and, again, remember that none of us will be 100 percent accurate.
