Finding an Authentic Psychic

There's no doubt about it, psychics have gotten a bad rap! From charlatans scamming obscene amounts of money out of the innocent believers to Miss Cleo raking in the desperate and lonely hearts in the wee hours of the morning, how can the REAL psychics be found?

Honest, authentic, dedicated and helpful psychics do exist. There are those of us devoted to serving our fellow man & woman ... working tirelessly from a place of love to help people find their way and to know their brilliance in this world. From psychic to psychic, we can spot each other right away and are always ready to help support, encourage and promote each other.

I am a full time psychic. I have spent years developing, deepening, and honing my innate abilities so I can be of assistance to my brothers and sisters with whom I share time and space. I follow a code of ethics protecting both you and me from "free range" access to your thoughts, emotions, and past. We don't read minds, nor do we have insight into your life without your consent and clear permission to do so.

Just like in any other profession, psychics and healers want to be found. We want to be trusted as a source of inspiration for you on your life's journey, and we want to help. We offer our abilities to the world as a service and cannot perform unless you show up!

Good psychics are professionals, and as such, must market themselves as any other entrepreneur. When beginning your search for a psychic to work with, there are many words you should consider: Intuitive, healer, clairvoyant, medium, and even consultant. The one thing we all are is "psychic" whether or not we use the actual term -- you can count on our ability to rely on our 6^th sense to share insights and guidance.

Professionals build a reputation based on honesty, the benefits of the services provided, and the satisfaction of clients. A psychic building a professional reputation is quite the conundrum. It's challenging to build a reputation when the very nature of what we do is a constant punch line.

FINDING THE RIGHT PSYCHIC

The most important task in finding an authentic psychic is finding the right psychic. Choosing the right intuitive to work with is a personal and totally subjective endeavor. Like finding the right doctor or therapist, the most beneficial partnerships are those that are carefully chosen where both parties are working toward the same outcome. Psychics are your partners in guidance and healing and your trust is paramount to success. It takes the right fit to optimize your experience. This is your session -- your time with the Divine, so use it well and know you have the power and the right to get all you can from it.

You are responsible for your well being and as such, are entitled to working with the best team possible to aid you. Research, gather and interview as you would any other health care provider and know true, honest professionals will always extend you the courtesy of their time so you can make an informed choice. Below are some other tips to help you choose the right psychic for you.

IT'S ALL IN THE EYES

You can always assess someone's truth in their eyes. Whether in-person or in a photograph, this is truly the window to the soul and will tell you much about a person. When choosing a psychic: From their eyes, do you feel warm and inviting? Do you feel safe? Do you feel drawn to them?

TRUST YOURSELF

In the first moments you meet someone, you get a gut-level reaction to them. Pay attention to this! If it doesn't feel right, or makes you uncomfortable, this is probably not the person for you. You are always guided in the right direction by your Spirit Helpers and the more you can trust this, the less you will need an outside source, like a psychic, to help you.

Having a session with a psychic should be an exciting experience, but also may be tinged with nerves and uncertainty. This is normal. Anytime we open ourselves to an experience in the unknown, we may feel apprehensive. Many people are quite nervous about consulting a psychic. In my experience, the nerves are an indication of the presence of your loving guides and angels. You feel them and without knowing what you're feeling, it may feel similar to anxiety, even a bit jittery. The more nervous you are, the more powerful the messages waiting to be shared.

Know this nervousness is part of the program, and not a reason to walk away from a session.

INTENTION

An authentic psychic is dedicated to you and your well-being. They make themselves available to answer questions every step of the way and ensure your comfort in the process. This is a healing experience and requires your feedback throughout. Psychics are co-creators with you.

An honest psychic will make you feel that you matter. Simply your being on this earth is something special. Your time and commitment to yourself are gifts to the world. Do you feel this from the psychic? Do they make and sustain eye contact or are they rushing to start and finish your time together? If they are in a hurry to jump right in, you can ask for a few moments to just talk. Their response to this will also share much about their intention.

AVAILABILITY

All of us at some time has been financially crunched yet still needing something that we didn't know how we could possibly afford. Psychic healing sessions are no different. If you cannot afford the entire amount, offer to pay what you can. If you can't afford anything, suggest a trade. Most healers, will work with you and be open to arranging something that suits everyone. But please, treat them with the same courtesy you would a doctor-- contact the psychic in advance to discuss alternatives, don't show up and suggest a barter on the spot.

Your consultation is an investment in your well-being, in your future, so something tangible must be exchanged in order for the guidance to be beneficial and meaningful. In some cases, I have accepted trade for massages, for home-baked goods, and even for art work. There must always be an exchange, and you can nearly always find something that will be agreeable for everyone.

True psychics, authentic intuitives, are healers because we want to be, because it's our calling, not because we believe this is our path to wealth and fame. In fact, we take a lot of ridicule and disdain following our calling and walking this path. In choosing the right psychic for you, are the rates reasonable for your finances? Great psychics may charge $100 or $500, but this alone doesn't determine their depth of intuition and ability to transform your life. Make a decision that fits for you and know Spirit will carry you exactly where you need to be.

WHERE TO FIND A GOOD PSYCHIC?

You may find psychics sitting on a street corner and even reading palms at a party, but if one isn't so readily available, where can you find an authentic and dedicated psychic?

INTERNET

In today's global market, nearly everyone has an online presence of some sort. This is your best starting point and will give you an initial sense of who they are and what services they offer. How do you feel reading their page? Is their rate close to that of other consultants offering a similar service? How have they developed their abilities? Do their claims seem too good to be true?

Don't get swept away in far-reaching promises of finding your true love or the perfect job in one session. Psychics are beneficial and can assist you in many ways, but there is no magic cure for anything. Anyone promising they can change your life overnight is not being honest with you. We're good, but no one EXCEPT YOU can change your life. Intuitives are partners in your well-being ... called in to remind you how to get back on track so you can make the magic yourself.

Testimonials posted online from former clients are also very beneficial. But just as you would carefully choose anyone to work with online, be web savvy -- anyone can write glowing reviews about themselves! If in doubt, then ask for emails or phone numbers from former clients so you can reach out to them personally. When there is nothing to hide, most psychics will be glad to share one or two contacts with you.

Most consultants work over-the-phone and offer long distance consultations. This expands your ability to find just the right person to work with. When looking, it's best to wait for a hunch ... and in most cases, there will be something that sparks your attention.

Many clients share how they found me after scrolling through several pages of psychics who offer services very similar to the consultations I do. I am a psychic healer, I charge per consultation, and there are thousands of other qualified intuitives who have trained in the same areas I have. Yet, when you find the right match, you may pause and take a second look. Let this be your cue you've stumbled upon something special.

Read the background, biography, or any literature available and let something pull you in. Even people who don't feel at all in touch with their own inner sense of intuition, know when they find the right psychic. Call it a feeling, an insight, or an "a-ha" moment -- something will click (and you will know it) when you find the perfect match.

PSYCHIC FAIRS

Psychic Fairs offer a beautiful opportunity to meet with every variety of intuitive! From mediums to angel readers to tarot consultants and energy healers, you can gorge yourself at these fairs with more variety of intuitive arts than you may have ever known existed. This is a fun, and safe place to consult with a psychic. Take a friend and make a day of it!

Most fairs have a rigorous selection process and invite readers who have proven themselves authentic professionals in their field. Walk the room, and again wait for something extra to grab you. Even tripping is a great indication your Angels are trying to get your attention.

I once went to a metaphysical fair and sat down for a session at the wrong table! I had meant to have a consultation with someone else and soon discovered my mix-up. I went with the flow, knowing nothing happens by chance, and received beautiful, affirming messages I much need to hear at that time in my life.

Open your heart to the possibilities and wonderful things can truly fall into your lap.

Psychic Fairs are also reasonably priced. Like a buffet of intuitives, you can consult with many psychics in one day. Since each psychic charges per minute, it's also a great way to get a feel for a psychic without a significant investment. You may find a great psychic who you want to work with further or you may find many gifted professionals! Let this smorgasboard be your starting ground.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A PSYCHIC

Know we are human, fallible, and prone to our own issues, so please be realistic in working with a psychic. Come with an open heart, an open mind and a desire to make your life better. Psychics are your assistants not your gurus. They can steer you in the right direction, get answers to your questions, and provide healing to lift your sails but it is ultimately you who must create changes in your world. A session with an authentic intuitive is a great first step, but it is your actions that will make all the difference in your situation.

If during consultation any part doesn't make sense or fit for you, let us know. Our job is to obtain the most beneficial information we can for you. When needed, we can probe deeper asking Spirit to help us make the message pertinent and crystal clear.

So give it a shot and if anything doesn't make sense or feel right, know you have all the power to stop and walk away at any time.

I have consulted with many psychics in my life. I had an amazing session with a woman on the streets of New Orleans with a woman wearing a turban on her head. Even now, I consult with psychics when I need to check outside of my own guidance. Truth be told, I have NEVER had a bad or totally off experience. There is always something that's accurate in what is being shared and is always some guidance that helps me feel inspired.

Everyone is intuitive and if you are looking for hope, it will be found regardless of where you turn. The world is built to inspire and encourage the best of us. So even if you do bump into Miss Cleo who charges you $10 a minute, chances are she will authentically share something that helps you exactly how you need it right now.
