It’s hard to tell who is a good and authentic psychic in this field. Con artists have given this field a bad rap because it isn’t hard to say “I’m a psychic” and with awesome marketing get the public in and make a fortune. I’ve experienced it. It’s taken me a couple of years to be able to tell who is a good and true psychic verses not, but its a challenge.

Before I came into this line of work I had never been to a psychic. It always seemed kind of, well, redundant to me. But after being in this field I began to check out other psychics. I wanted to know what they were like. I wanted to learn from them. I wanted to know more about what a good psychic is like.

I’ve felt duped more than a few times.

I’ve cried on Venice Beach after a “crystal reader” made me feel like sh*t and that there was no hope in the world for me to live my dreams. She projected her beliefs on me when I came to her in such an open hearted way, excited to meet in person another crystal reader. It’s rare I meet a crystal reader, however, she was not a crystal reader. She was a con artist.

Note: If the reader is projecting their beliefs onto you, they are not a good reader. A good reader is someone who is clean and clear, who has little to no need to project their beliefs onto you. They only offer information that serves you, not what they believe to be true (and often is) in their reality. Your reality and life path is totally different and doesn’t operate in the same way as the psychics in many respects. Leave that psychic before they can make you cry. Please. Please!

I’ve walked way from another highly recommended psychic shaking my head, feeling that I wasted my money. Half of what she had said was coming from her ego, her framework. The information was not clean and pure. It took me weeks to sort through her information to find what was true verses what was simply her opinions.

Note: This is another case very similar to projection, however, this one felt very ego oriented where the one on Venice Beach actually believed that she was helping. This reading had a lot of “I”m smarter and older and this is the truth of the matter no matter what you say/believe/think. I’m going to tell you how the world is. I know what’s right.” feelings to it in-between the valuable information. There was nothing valuable to take from the Venice Beach psychic while this one did give me valuable information. This one felt more like a power trip than projection. Stay clear of those who power trip!

I’ve also had very good experiences that have left my heart open knowing the truth was spoken with an open heart and that the person speaking was not coming from ego. Ironically enough, these experiences have often come from when I do a card reading trade with someone that I’ve taught how to read cards or someone who doesn’t consider themselves a professional in the field.

Qualities of  a Good Psychic

In my honest and humble opinion my experiences have led me to believe that a “good psychic” is someone who is consistently working on clearing their channel and releasing things that keep them from their core of unconditional love.

A “good psychic” is always going to do his/her best to come from the heart with a sense of detachment to the outcome of the situation. Any form of attachment will influence the reading.

A “good psychic” will be open and honest, even if they know the client doesn’t want to hear the truth. They know that the client has come to hear the truth no matter if they like it.

A “good psychic” is constantly expanding their framework and truths about the Universe and will have a daily practice to help facilitate this.

A “good psychic” will allow the flow of the Universe, of the Highest Self, of that which Guides from Unconditional Love, to do the speaking, and knows that what they gift to other is not them. They are simply the channel for the information of the client’s Highest Self to come through. A reminder. A confirmation. Guidance to help their client come closer to themselves.

What to Look For in a Psychic

1. The number one thing to finding a good psychic is to pay attention to word of mouth. Ask your friends. Read the testimonials. See if what is being spoken about is what resonates with you.

All psychics from what I can tell have very different styles. Some are more inspirational and self-empowering (like myself) while others are more down to Earth this is what’s happening whether you like it or not. Both styles are great, however, different people respond differently to the ways the information comes to them. If you are someone who responds well to being told very straightforward what is happening then find someone’s who’s style reflects that. If you want someone who is soft and comes from the heart, then look for that in the testimonials you read.

2. Does the psychic you are looking at resonate with you? 

This is helpful if you can meet with the psychic or call them to have a conversation. It’s even better if they have a website. What you are looking for here is to see if you agree with what they stand for, with what they speak about, with what they think. You want to find someone that when they say something part of you is going “yes, yes, that’s truth to me.” Take time to look around their social media, their websites, etc. and see if that happens for you.

Pay attention to the framework from which they operate from. You want to find a psychic with the largest frame work you can because a large framework encompasses all of the smaller frameworks. What this means is that you want to find someone who is wiser than yourself. You want to find someone who understands where you are at and can take you to the next level. You don’t want someone that you go to and they tell you what your mother says. You want someone who goes beyond where you can go, who can go deeper into the unconscious and collective consciousness realms.

3. Where does the psychic operate from?

Many times when we are trying to find psychics we are trying to find those who operate from the heart center and not the ego. We want a person that connects with us at a deep level and isn’t in it just for the money. There are several ways that this can be defined from reading their blog posts, to their actions in the world, to the hear-say from friends, to what is said on the website and so on. This is something that is often intuitively uncovered as we look over the materials that they present to the world.

I can tell you that the more the psychic comes from the ego the less accurate they will be.

4. How does the psychic make you feel? 

This is key. People who are looking for psychic guidance will often attend body mind expos and psychic fairs. They will often come across a psychic in person. So pay attention. When you are in the company of the psychic how do you feel? How about when you leave? How about when you phone them to chat? How do you feel when you get off the phone?

If you feel drained, tired, marginalized, small, stupid or anything else like that then chances are that is not the psychic for you. After seeing a psychic you may feel like you’ve received a lot of information but as that information processes it should uplift you, feel true to you, resonate with you, and empower you in some way.

5. Recognize that the psychic your best friend goes to you might not be right for you. 

In number one I say ask for recommendations and now I’m saying that the recommendations might not be right for you.

What’s up?

Recommendations are a great way to start getting connected into the realm of psychics and to how they work. The people who are recommending you to someone will often tell you why. They will say “I really like her because she always seems to come from the heart” or “He’s super good at what he does. I always find him to be accurate” or “She helped me through one of the toughest decisions I had to make”.

Those people too will be able to tell you what to expect in a reading.

They often can get you an introductory rate to the see the psychic as many of the psychics I know have a discounted rate for those who come referred through regular clients. 

Conclusion

Finding the right psychic for you is a very personal process. You want someone who resonates with you, will tell you the truth, is accurate, and will provide the best customer service they can. You want someone who helps you be more of you, in my opinion.

For those of you who do have visited psychics, what do you look for?
