Are you interested in the mystical? Have you been pondering having a psychic reading but you’re not sure what to expect?
Afterall, there is a lot of generalization surrounding the practice of such things, and unless you have experienced it yourself, it can be hard to know what you should find waiting for you.
Well, today, we’re breaking it all down.
Keep reading and you’ll find out exactly what you should expect from a reading and, more importantly, what you need to know before you go.
1. Why Do You Want a Reading?
Before asking yourself what you expect to get from a visit, you should really ask yourself why you want a reading in the first place.
A psychic reading is not for everybody. And, while you need to go in with an understanding of what is going to happen, you also need an understanding of why you are there.
Here are some common reasons people want a psychic reading.
To Connect With Someone Who Has Passed
One of the more common reasons is to seek contact with someone who has passed.
This could be to seek closure, to find a peace of mind, or simply because you want to know more about what lies beyond.
To Seek Guidance on Life
A lot of the time, when people seek help from a psychic, they are searching for clarity in their life. This could relate to anything from work problems to relationship issues and all things in between.
Having a reading can be very helpful in reducing the noise that can surge through our hearts when we ponder such fundamental life questions.
2. What Sort of Reading Are You After?
This is an important question to ask yourself before you get a reading because of the variety of different readings on offer.
This can have a big influence on how you approach the session and how satisfied you will be once it’s over.
Let’s take a quick look at the different reading types.
Psychic / Intuitive Reading
This is a deep session that will look at many aspects of your life – from careers and relationships to family and finances.
If you’re looking for guidance in your life, or feel especially lost and caught off-track, this is the reading for you.
Akashic Records Reading
This type of psychic reading works a little differently. It’s not a deep dive session, but rather looks through the perspective of your soul.
Akashic records readings, while not as deep thinking as an intuitive session, will ask you how your inner-self feels about things.
It can be a real eye-opening session.
Medium Readings
As you would expect, this reading is more concerned with communicating with spirits, most commonly loved ones that have passed away.
These sessions are more specialized because mediumship is not something all psychics have. Much like thumbs and fingers, all mediums are psychic but not all psychics are mediums.
3. Some Basic Expectations Ahead of Your Psychic Reading
Regardless of the session type, there are some basic expectations and measures of etiquette that you need to follow during your reading.
The Psychic Drives at All Times
Psychics are professionals. They are the ones channeling the answers you seek. They are in control at all times.
This is important to understand because it’s very easy to try to take over, asking overly specific questions and interrupting on a loop!
Specificity is Not the Name of the Game
Psychics are conduits. They absorb energy or channel the voice of those that have passed, and they forward this on to you. They can only interpret or answer that which they receive.
While those answers may be specific and leave you in no doubt, having an expectation of receiving specific answers to specific questions might lead to disappointment.
It simply doesn’t work that way.
Be Willing to Not Believe Until After Your Session is Over
This is not a question of skepticism, but rather of being too ‘in the moment’ to truly comprehend what’s being said.
Psychics cannot control the information they receive. It’s simply what is sent their way, and at times these memories or details they mention may seem false or inaccurate to you.
It’s best to wait until after the session to decipher small details. Sometimes things just need time to sink.
4. Don’t Be Afraid to Take Notes
For some people, the first reading can be a daunting experience. There can be a lot of information thrown your way that can be a little overwhelming.
With that in mind, it’s important to understand that there is nothing wrong with taking a pen and paper and making some notes as you go.
While it’s always best to remove external distractions from your reading if a pen and paper help you focus your thoughts and capture important information that your psychic is receiving then feel free to go with it.
5. The Best Expectation is Probably No Expectation
As with anything else in life, when you have expectations, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
There are no guarantees, and as long as you truly believe in the power of a psychic reading, then you will always get something out of it.
A Psychic Reading Should be an Enjoyable Experience
At the end of the day, a psychic reading of any sort should be an enjoyable experience for you.
It doesn’t matter the time or place of the reading, if you are relaxed and calm, your psychic will provide you with an experience to remember.
The biggest decision you’re likely to face is which psychic to choose.
Remember, different psychics have different personalities and reading styles, and you need to find one that feels the most natural for you.
