All About Psychic Readings

Psychic readings can be both a blessing and a curse to some folks and have a long lasting effect. You would be surprised how many people went to a psychic, possibly a long time ago, and are still being influenced by what he or she said.

A great psychic reading experience can hone in on valuable insights that lead you into self-acceptance, greater clarity about your life's path, resulting in joy and harmony. Unfortunately, psychic readings can also send your mind racing, make you more anxious about the future, and leave you feeling even more miserable than before about your chances for romance or prosperity.

If you are considering going to a psychic reader (or trying to find another one as the case may be) you should always do your homework first. Following are some guidelines to help you in your research.

A recommendation from someone else is the best way to find a good intuitive guide. Do you have a friend or relative who has had a positive psychic reading experience? They might be your best resource. Otherwise, you can visit places like a massage school or a yoga studio and ask someone there (like the receptionist) if they know of any good psychic or tarot reader.

You can also find a good psychic healer at a metaphysical book store or the new age section of your favorite bookstore or local library. Browse the books written by psychics or mediums and see if one speaks to you. Then search for his or her name online and see if you can find them, rather than the other way around.

Searching the internet is helpful, but try to go beyond the first few pages of search engine results. Sometimes the results on page eleven has a better option than page two.

Alternatively, go to a spiritual chat room online, tell people that you want to have a psychic reading, and ask if they can recommend a good psychic or tarot reader.

Consider going to a psychic that does not advertise. Not that it's bad to advertise, or makes those that do less trustworthy, but most established psychic healers no longer need to advertise for psychic readings, or they do so in less visible ways like placing their business cards at new age or metaphysical shops, and even health food stores. So, look for them there. The hidden gems are often more genuine and accurate, and truly devoted to your deepest potential.

The best advice is, of course, to be your own "psychic reader" in the process. It's a matter of following your intuition, and not really that mysterious. How do you feel inside as you speak to someone or visit their website? Do you detect a "façade" as you view or assess the psychic healer? Do they promise or claim outrageous things? If so, you may want to avoid them.

On the other hand, do you feel excited or more trusting inside during your search? Do you sense an inner "yes" or an expansive feeling in your body? These are your own subtle psychic clues that you are on the right track. It takes practice, but you can train yourself to do this.

After all, psychic readings are only to assist you to become more aware of your own vibrations. Therefore, you should treat psychic readings as a guide, not as something written in stone. Just because a tarot reader or psychic tells you certain things doesn't necessarily mean it will happen. You have the power to create your life the way you want it; to turn the negative into positive. Above all, psychic readings should be fun and not stress you out.

Psychic Ability Test - Are You Psychic?

The best psychic ability test might be the one which shows natural results in natural settings over a period of time. That is, seeing, foreseeing, or foretelling, followed by confirmation and showing up repeatedly might prove more than any psychic ability test online or from a book. Nevertheless, because of computer technology online, the tests for how psychic, telepathic, or clairvoyant you are can be interactive, dynamic, and above all, fun.

Thanks to the wonders of the internet, you can visit an "entertainment" website and take various psychic ability tests. Following are examples of the stuff you do to assess your psychic ability: intuit the location of hidden items or images; you view a set of images which are then taken away and brought back one at a time (invisible side facing away from you), and you try to determine the identity of each.

The latter technique is one which simulates actual psychic ability tests conducted over the years, called the Zenner Card Test: the "psychic" sits on a chair with a divider panel blocking their view of the tester's actions. The tester holds up a card (one at a time) and prompts with a grunt or one-word nod for the testee, who then speaks aloud what he or she "sees" - whether it is a star, a wave pattern, a circle, a cross (plus sign, really), or a square. The percentage of right answers is, of course, the result indicator. A replica of one of the originals is at links2love.com, under the quizzes, section. Here, you are told that the results are factored as follows:

Of the number of repetitions (guesses), if you rank

  • under 1.96, you supposedly have no psychic ability
  • from 1.96 to 2.58, you have "some" psychic ability
  • between 2.58 and 3.00, you show "significant" psychic ability
  • 3.00 or higher, you have what they call here "very significant" psychic tendencies
Keep in mind, most online psychic ability tests don't claim to do anything more than give you a fun, engaging experience, though also again, less condensed or comprehensive or specific psychic ability tests involve daily or periodical check-ins with your related gifts. Taking the psychic ability test online, you may find you have certain abilities such as:
  • having some degree of telepathic power (thinking of one who then calls)
  • empathy (finishing others' sentences, knowing the exact gift to give)
  • experiential history (having a penchant from a young age for the paranormal and/or having ancestors/predecessors who had psychic ability)
  • having prophetic tendencies (having dreams that come true)
  • having clairsentient abilities (being able to divine information, history, details from a relevant object just by touching it)
  • being able to "manifest" (thinking of, wishing for, or concentrating on and getting or having it happen)

Do you wonder what makes a psychic ability test more reliable? Relying more on those which assess an amalgamation of skills or gifts, rather than a half-hour sitting a less than sufficient number of "guesses" may be a good idea. In other words, we need to use psychic ability tests that are well rounded, varied, and repeated in variation.
