How (and Why) to Choose a Good Psychic
A lovely bit of magic happened to me lately that I feel called upon to share: I had a fantastic psychic reading. The reason I bring this up is because I am a firm believer in tapping into the Universe, God, Allah, or whatever you wish to call that lovely power that connects us all. And through whatever means are necessary.
I can’t tell you whether psychic readings are ‘real’ or not … all I know is that when it comes to staying true to my path, they work.
Speaking for myself, my life/work/dreams roll extra smoothly when I turn on the psychic juice. Here’s why: often we just have plain old no idea what we’re doing. We stumble. We scrape our knees. We cry to Mommy. We want to quit. And if we’re not paying close attention, this is precisely where things can break down.
Enter a good psychic. Great psychics have a philanthropic love for helping others connect with their purpose in life. They speak a truth that is right and good, not full of dark threats and bogeymen. Yet, they’re not afraid to speak in specifics.
A good psychic will tell you unpleasant truths you may not want to hear. They are unafraid to tell you just how life is, warts and all, and what you can do to maximize your time here. Often these are things you already know, but just need to hear someone else verbalize so you can finally act on them.
For more than a decade, I visited the same New York City psychic on my birthday. (She no longer gives readings, unfortunately, but she is the author of a fun book, Small Mediums at Large.) I always thought of this reading as a super-guided coaching session that would steer me well throughout the year.
Because she always saw the bigger picture, Terry would say things that would lift me out of my little rut, so I, too, could scan the horizon. To this day, I have no idea if her predictions were dead-on accurate, or if it was the simple power of her suggestions at work in my mind that actually made things happen. All I know is that nine out of ten times she was right.
An example: when I had the somewhat embarrassing notion that I might actually be able to write songs and get up and sing them, I went to see Terry. “What are all these songs and why are you hiding them?” she demanded as soon as walked into her apartment. She went on to describe the woman I would perform with for the next five years. She even told me how to find her, and precisely how we would work together.
Our lives are spiritual open books, and each choice we make is imbued with spiritual energy. You want to write that book or start this business or take up with that love because you are meant to on a grand karmic level. Here you will find soul growth, and lessons galore.
So specific spiritual guidance is not only helpful, it’s essential. And it’s part of the same organic cloth the spiritual path is woven from.
Just last week I had a reading from an intuitive I knew but had never worked with. I ran into her, in fact, at a retreat center where I had gone to tap into some deeper answers about my work. Little did I know just how specific those answers would be.
Her certainty gave me courage, and really fired me up with inspiration. It served as a real validation to my ‘crazy’ ideas. And I found myself asking questions about all those annoying little fears and worries that had been jiggling around in my head about my newest projects.
I quickly learned that most were just cosmic static my brain had cooked up for no good reason. And that, as ever, everything will be just fine!
Hallmarks of a good psychic:
1.
They come recommended. I’ve had readings with many psychics over the years, and the ones I really liked the most came road tested by friends. (A good way to locate a psychic is to put a feeler among like-minded friends.)
2.
They will work with you via Skype, phone, or live. In other words, they may well be across the world. Some I’ve worked with remotely request an object of yours they can hold while working with you; others don’t feel the need.
3.
They aren’t necessarily cheap. I’ve had little experience with street-front psychics who charge $25 for a quick palm reading, say, or a glance at the tea leaves. Generally you get what you pay for.
4.
They take their time. A great psychic reading usually lasts longer than an hour, some as long as two hours. This gives you psychic time to really delve into who you are and what you’re all about.
5.
They’ll don’t need you to sign disclaimers, waivers and the like. Incredibly, the worst psychic i ever went to — with whom I had many protracted emails before we even got to the reading — insisted I sign an agreement that I would not attempt to sue him. Just for a reading. I mean … wow.
6.
They seem to intrinsically ‘get’ you. Great psychics are intuitive creatures who seem to speak your language. In a really good, connected reading, they’ll see you for who you are, and freely advise you on that basis.
Whether you think psychic readings are a waste of time, or money well spent, consider this possibility. We may, in fact, be swimming in a limited reality. So why not at least give a different one a shot?
