The SECRET of Psychic Fortune Telling - Is It Guessing, Telepathy or Something Else?

What is the secret to a good psychic reading? Is it mind reading? Spiritual divination? Telepathy? ESP? Good guessing? Or does a good psychic simply rely on the gullibility of the person who needs the reading, and simply throw enough general fluff out there and hope that SOMETHING sticks?

The funny thing is, I can honestly tell you that all of the above are true! I've worked with (and watched) psychics, mediums and clairvoyants who are clearly getting incredible information from a source that is NOT coming from the mind of the caller or client. I've seen readings where I'm pretty sure the psychic IS getting the information from the client's "head"... a sort of ESP or telepathy on steroids. I've watched gifted psychics predict future events, make incredible proclamations that DID come true shortly thereafter... and even once interviewed a reader who told me about a specific dream I had, with incredible details, and even told me what it was meant to warn me of as well. 

  

That said... I've also watched many mediums, psychics, fortune tellers and clairvoyants guess, gold dig for information, ask leading questions, use basic cold reading techniques... and when THAT failed, simply start to guess (often with embarrassing results). 

  

The truth is, while some people still ask me about my opinion on fortune telling, I think the phrase "fortune teller" in of itself is a bad one and NOT indicative of what a real psychic does.

The fact is, there is much about our universe we don't understand. Scientist, spiritualists and skeptics ALL agree on this. There is much that we don't know about the mind, the brain, the body, the spirit... and what (or if) any of these various parts of the human being intersect... and how.

The best I can offer is this: I've had hundreds of psychic readings, many of which have completely changed what I believe about life, death and everything in between. They have taught me that we are all connected in incredibly simple ways.

And even though you and I have different bodies, different backgrounds and different beliefs, somewhere special, in a spiritual sense, we are all part of the same great plan. We each have a purpose, a path and a destiny to discover. A good fortune teller, or said more respectfully - a good professional intuitive, simply has the ability to tap into that destiny and give you a gentle nudge in the right direction (And help you GET where you're actually supposed to go!)

4 Past Life Secrets You DON'T Need to "Die" To Discover

1 - We Choose Our Challenges: Every obstacle we need to overcome, every conflict we need to resolve, every challenge is chosen. And for a reason. While we aren't designed to know it all, and we may NEVER understand why we've elected to face specific hardships in this life, understanding that the above is true can be an incredibly freeing, inspiring and EMPOWERING awakening.

2 - Past life memories are MOST common in children. It's strange... but 100% trte that some of the most scientifically studied, and verified cases of past life evidence have come from small children who remember detailed, hyper specific previous lives that are full of factual details that are impossible to explain away as luck, good guesses or chance (thousands of these cases have been published... including some in the most prestigious medical "magazine" in the world - The New England Journal or Medicine).

3 - Soul-mates, and spiritual partners... are perpetually present across many lifetimes.

Your husband, your wife, your children, your best friends, your business partner, your boss... all the people in your life are POTENTIALLY (not all) a part of the ongoing fabric that is your spiritual grow and journey. It's very common for soul groups to "come back" together, and quite often, you can look at your current relationships and simply feel, sense or intuit karmic connections to the people you love (and are here to learn from) most.

4 - Roles CAN be Reversed!

This is a weird one, but many psychics, mediums, clairvoyants and people who examine spiritually tranforsmative experiences like past life recall, will tell you that many people who explore their past life memories will remember someone on their CURRENT life, being in their past life, but a different sex. Or, the role is reversed. (a parent was a child, a husband once a wife, and so forth) This is a strange concept when you first consider it, but when looked at from the perspective of KARMA, and the idea that we are truly timeless spiritual beings and all here to learn, go, grow and flow together through multiple lifetimes, it begins to make sense that we would CHOOSE to experience different roles for this very reason. (the aggressor becomes the victim, the next time... the victim the aggressor, and so forth)

The one truism which has shown up in every past life reading, recall or experience I've ever witnessed in 15 years of writing about and researching this field, personally and professionally alike?

That we are ALL here to learn to love. That love and light are truly the fabric of the Universe... and that embracing that light and living as close to your own truth as possible, is the one PURE path to pursue. And that each of us is here for a reason... and that your unique passion, and purpose and path is meant to be lived and loved! (and THAT'S the real secret to spiritual fulfillment and true happiness!!

3 Things a Real Psychic Can Tell You With Their Eyes Closed

Do psychics need to "see" you to read your past, your present or your future? Does a good psychic or medium need eye contact to communicate clairvoyantly with your soul... or spiritual self? In this article we are going to take a quick and easy look at 3 things any good psychic or medium can tell about you from a million miles away... as physical distance has nothing to do with genuine intuitive insight at all. Curious? Let's take a closer look below.

Energy or Aura

The truth is, your energy or aura has very little to do with your physical body (even though this is a very common myth and misconception many amateur psychics will "sell" you). Your aura is about attitude. And vibration. And a sense of spiritual or soulful sensitivity. Your voice is a far more powerful indicator of your aura that your body is... and a good psychic can sense this, read it and interpret it from anywhere in the world. (Interestingly... some of the best aura readers happen to be blind).

Purpose

Each of us is born for a reason. You are here to do very specific things. In my belief system, you've chosen this life, and all of the challenges that accompany it. Why? Because we are all here to grow and flow and mature as spiritual beings of live and light. Every obstacle is an opportunity to grow and advance... and your true purpose is clear to any clairvoyant who picks up, tunes in and empathetically understands your emotional energy. Some psychics, astrologers and tarot readers believe that your voice (or aura, like above) allows them to tune into a universal "file cabinet" (often called the Ashkashic Records) where they can tell you what you SHOULD be doing to live a life you love (and the one you were destined to follow).

Lost Loved Ones or Spirit Guides

Each of us has spirit guides. And again, picking up on these has nothing to do with your physical body... but rather, your energy, your aura and vibration. Some spirit guides are loved ones that have passed on before you. Others are energies that look after you... and you've never met in "this" life. I've yet to meet or work with a good psychic who doesn't believe that each of us gets messages from "above"... and the very best psychics and mediums can often pick YOURS up simply by tuning in to your voice, vibration and need to know!

Online Psychic Readings - 2 Things You Should Expect When Calling an Online Psychic

#1: You should expect a bit of a different experience than seeing a psychic face to face. First of all, one of the big advantages of online readings (or phone readings) is that they are "blind". The reader can't see you, and therefore can't make a lot of assumptions about you based on appearance, dress, age, or body language. (all things commonly called "cold reading" by skeptics, and can happen even to the very BEST and well intentioned readers by accident, simply due to human nature)

With the additional layer of anonymity provided by online chat or telephone readings, you should expect, and allocate a few extra minutes for the reader to settle in and "feel" your energy and pick up on your aura. While some psychics will tell you that they felt you and knew your issues before the reading even begins, in my experience, the vast majority of the time, there is a 3-5 minute "energy exchange" that you should expect. (and want for accuracy and intimacy)

#2: You should expect far better guarantees and performance promises online, or by phone, than you'd find in the "real world". As a matter of fact, in my view... this is one of the very best reasons to get a reading by a service or network, over seeing a local intuitive, medium or clairvoyant.

How so? In my 15 years or so of researching this field, I have never, EVER asked for, or seen someone else ask for and GET heir money back or a refund after getting a reading they weren't happy with in person. In other words, sitting face to face with someone... even if the reading is terrible, you are far more likely to walk out and be disappointed, than you are saying... "hey... that was bad and not accurate. Can I get a refund?" It's just not the way the real world works.

Online? Due to the performance promises and money back guarantees many of the biggest psychic services offer, it's much easier, less confrontational and quite simple to say - "not impressed. Would like a refund."

That said, you should take advantage of this liberal policy, and only hire psychics (or services) that offer world class customer service policies to protect callers and clients from bad or disappointing experiences. You should also expect to pay about HALF for an online reading than you'd pay for a comparable reading in your local community, or even less from a well known celebrity psychic.

Lastly, you should expect a fun, memorable, entertaining and enlightening experience. Don't settle for less... as a good reading should be ALL of the above, and more. (and if you are stuck and need the help... you deserve nothing less!)

3 Reasons To See A Psychic That MAY Surprise You

Reason #1: To confirm a skeptical or cynical point of view about the paranormal

Believe it or not, in my own personal research and experience into psychic, new age, spiritual and paranormal phenomena, about 20% of those who immerse themselves in this universe are NON believers. Often, they are people who want to confirm an existing bias that all of this stuff is silly new age nonsense, and more often than not, they'll pick the kind of reader that will confirm and validate their suspicions. (In other words, they'll find the worst psychics or mediums possible without doing any due diligence in advance, get a bad reading... and then re-assert why all psychics are fake).

Reason #2: To communicate with loved ones who have crossed over or very recently passed on

Another 20% of so of all readings are done by mediums and for people who looking to validate that their loved ones DO live on after physical death. The funny thing is, this is exactly what got me interested in psychic phenomena many years ago, and it was one uncannily eerie (and accurate) reading that turned my skeptic into certitude and curiosity into conviction that there really IS some sort of afterlife waiting for us all.

A good medium CAN be a life changing experience, and even if you are skeptical, I encourage you to find one you can talk to and try to trust... because if you find someone good, and have lost someone you love, your perspective on their passing will NEVER be the same. (And in a GOOD way as well!)

Reason #3: Love, Romance and Relationship Advice

The truth is, in 2011, there were well over 1 million phone readings done, just by the major phone psychic networks and services across the US, UK and Europe alone. Out of those total readings, some industry statistics suggest that 50% or so were readings whose primary purpose were matters of love, lust, romance, relationship and CRISES related to cheating, heartbreak and the like.

The surprising group of people most likely to get a psychic reading these days?

Highly educated professional women, between the ages of 25-55, who have a college degree and make MORE money than their spouse, boyfriend or male counterpart (75K or above on average).

Of course there are plenty of other good reasons as well... including that it's a fun, inexpensive and entertaining way to experience something that EVERYONE should try at least once!
