Seeing a Psychic? No Pop Quizzes, No Comparisons!
Let’s say you’re an architect. You’re at a first meeting with your new client. You get there, expecting to have an honest and useful give-and-take so you can provide good and expert service.
But when you arrive, the client sits down and says: “You’re an architect. Prove it. Sketch out my dream house without me telling you anything.”
Or imagine getting there and, based on preliminary information the client has provided, you bring plans for a sustainable house in the country.
When you unroll your blueprints, the client says “You’re not a real architect. Couldn’t you tell I really wanted a refurbished brownstone?”
Playing “test the psychic” is useless and demeaning to both of you. Giving us incorrect information about your circumstances and expecting us to recognize its fabrication, or saying “tell me something you couldn’t know and I’ll have a reading with you” is like asking us to roll over and fetch!
We’re proud of what we do, glad to be in service to the world, and happy to help you. But only if you treat us with the same respect you’d treat any other professional whose services you need.
Part of your pre-appointment responsibility is to check out the psychic ahead of time — either through personal referrals, reading through their testimonial books at a public event, or reviewing their website.
If you don’t get a good feeling or are unsure this is the psychic you want to trust with your important questions, then don’t go to them. Wait until you come across someone whose credentials say enough to you that you’re willing to sit down with them on an honest basis.
Not every psychic is right for every person, and we’re aware of that; if we’re not right for you, another intuitive will be at another time.
Some clients feel a need to name drop and compare during a meeting. When you begin your session by saying you’ve been to (or read) Sylvia Browne, Sonia Choquette, John Edward, James Van Praagh, and half the psychics at Lily Dale — and start telling the psychic everything they said — it highlights four issues:
- you’ve looked to an awful lot of psychics for answers and still feel you haven’t gotten what you need,
- you might be “shopping” for a psychic that will give you the answers you WANT to hear and will accept nothing less,
- it tells your current psychic that any information given in this session will likely be compared on an inequitable basis (the information might have been gained during a private session, gallery event or something you read in their book that merely sounded like your situation, although it wasn’t channeled specifically for you), and
- you’re coming into the session with pre-conceived notions rather than an open mind.
A by-product of bringing up other psychics’ information in the session is that you may derail the intuitive you’re with.
In my case, when I am channeling someone’s past lives, I am completely focused on the vision; it runs like a movie in my head.
If a client is constantly interrupting with “Madame Hoohah never told me that” or “Swami Swellanda said I’d been with my husband for my past fifty-seven lives” or even “No, I don’t think so,” I lose the reception, lose the movie, and am pulled abruptly out of the Akashic Records, the dimension where all lives are stored. I am catapulted back to the Here and Now.
It’s often difficult to get back to the same book in the Library for you after such a break in communication.
The best advice for getting the most out of your reading?
Be patient! Hear out the psychic as they talk about a given subject and reserve your questions for a more appropriate point in the reading. Questions are good things, but get all the information on the table first!
