Wouldn’t it be great if we could go to a psychic, sit down in front of them and all the information we ever needed to know to make all our dreams come true would be told? Why yes, it sounds like the magical cheat sheet to heaven. Unfortunately in reality, it just doesn’t work that way. The truth is, no one has the answers to your questions but you.

Now that might not make much sense when you are feeling clueless about what steps to take in your life. Most of us just want someone to just tell us what to do to go get what we want. It’s the reason why you’re seeing a psychic to begin with! But, there really is something to that saying; seek and you shall find, because you are the one who is actually creating getting your own answers. Making it into the presence of a gifted psychic is just the first step. You have to do the spiritual work in order to actually receive the answers that will help you to move forward on your path. Think of it like a great actor or singer, having talent is a given, but making it to fame and fortune is a whole other story.

So just what is this work one must do to get answers? As you genuinely put your energy into furthering your relationship with yourself, getting your own answers becomes a natural side effect. Start by reading spiritual or self-help books that enlighten and inspire you. Or study spiritual teachings you find interesting. Anything that causes you to raise your consciousness and connect with your higher-self becomes the work that then allows you to receive the reward of gifts and answers that help you along your path. This is how you are essentially creating getting your own answers. When you take just one step toward growing your spiritual path, your guides and teachers take ten to help you.

In a real psychic reading with a genuine psychic, the psychic’s ability is like a telephone line between you and the spiritual world. No matter how clear the line is, the person on the other end has to answer the phone, and if they do answer, they need to have something to say. When making a phone call. You don’t just pick up the phone and get connected to the person you are trying to reach. You have to dial a set of numbers to be directly connected. So think of the specific questions you want to ask as the phone number you are dialing to get your answers.

When getting a reading you have to have a target to aim for. Make a list of specific questions you want to get answered. Know that “Love” is not a specific question. “I want to know if John Smith is romantically interested in me,” is.

Its also important to know that just because you ask a certain question, it doesn’t always mean that there will be an answer. Perhaps you are asking a question that your higher-self is not ready to receive. Maybe you have not yet done the work on a spiritual level for the answer to be granted. It actually can be more harmful than healing to get an answer that you’re not emotionally ready for. Sometimes there isn’t an answer because the outcome has yet to be decided or because destiny is not set in stone.

If there is someone you are looking to connect with on the other side like a loved one that has passed over, you’re going to want to intensely focus on that person’s energy. The more you focus, the stronger the connection can be made and come through.

So to make the most of your reading, do your homework, both spiritual and in the physical. Find a genuine psychic. Make a list of specific questions you want answered. Focus on your guides, teachers and loved ones in spirit. Then you’ll have the greatest chance of getting answers that will change your life for the better, and that you created getting all on your own!

How to Tell if a Psychic is Real

Experiencing a psychic reading could be compared to getting plastic surgery or having unsafe sex: You want to be damn sure you know who you are sharing your energy with!

Just as you wouldn’t run up to a stranger in the street and take their advice on what to do with a huge life decision, you want to have the same level of cautiousness when choosing a psychic. You’re the one who has to live with the decisions you make, while that psychic is someone you’ll know for 15 to 30 minutes. There are many reputable psychics who, without question, help people make life-changing decisions. So, how can you tell if you’re getting a reading from someone who is the real deal or not?

Being psychic is the ability to communicate with spirit. “Spirit” meaning someone who has passed over to the other side. But just because someone has passed over does not mean they can magically see all and know everything. If you believe in life after death, then you might explore the concept that our life after death is very much a continuation of what we were doing while we were living in the physical. That also would mean that if someone was ill while they were living in their body, they are still going to be working on healing themselves once they pass on. They just no longer have their physical body to help them in that process.

When you get a reading from a psychic, yes, they are (hopefully) communicating with spirit, however just because they are, doesn’t mean the spirit they’re communicating with is one that is has your best interest at heart. Sometimes the spirit they are contacting is stuck and just wants attention. That spirit might be able to get the message across that your dead uncle’s name was Jack, but just because they can pull that magic rabbit out of the hat, how does having your dead uncle’s name help you as a spirit to change and grow and heal in your life?

So, how can rest assured that the reading you’re getting is authentic? Certainly do your research and get a referral from someone you trust who had a positive experience. But how can you tell if the psychic is connected into the highest? A real psychic reading should:

1. Inspire the truth-seeker. Getting a reading is never about predicting gloom and doom. (Unless you are doing something to hurt your own spiritual growth, like bank robbing in your spare time and your guides are trying to warn you that this isn’t the smartest thing to do …). Your teachers in spirit want for you what you want for yourself. Their goal is to help you do whatever it takes to get there. The information should inspire you to do what you need to get what you want as long as it does not involve manipulating another person.

2. The reading should provide healing. The information coming through in the reading should be healing to you because it validates something you already know but might need confirmation on, or it makes you feel better on every cell of your being that truth is coming through and you are not just having hope that what the psychic says is true.

3. Provide comfort for someone who is mourning. The psychic may or may not be able to give you the actual name of the person you are inquiring about who has passed over, however there should be absolute proof to you that the information coming through about the person is in fact them or their personality.
