Whether it's your first time or fiftieth, having a psychic reading is an exciting undertaking that is best completed when you are personally prepared and know what to expect.
The following information will help you make the most of your psychic experience.
Always determine what your expectations are early on.
Are you going to this appointment to 'Test' the psychic, to see if they are truly what they claim? Are you looking to have someone make an important decision in your life? Do you have a specific question or topic you would like to discuss or are you looking for general information? Having an understanding of what direction you want your reading to take will help you walk away feeling satisfied, as you will be able to communicate your expectations clearly.
Keep in mind that in most cases it is best to go into a meeting with a simple, predetermined question or topic of discussion; if you are asking a medium to tell you about your future overall, the reading may be vague and disjointed.
It is best to go to several focused appointments where you can go into detail with your reading, rather than to have one generally themed session, where you get little bits and pieces of information relating to various aspects of your life.
Being mentally and physically prepared for a reading will ensure you are able to focus appropriately.
As mentioned above, a reading will be more satisfactory if you have one goal or topic in mind.
To enable your psychic reader to do the best job possible, you must be able to focus your thoughts and limit any distractions.
This can be more difficult to accomplish than it sounds.
Consider the busy, hectic lifestyle most of us lead today: either you are rushing to work to meet deadlines or due dates, or you are shuffling the kids from daycare to swimming lessons to sports meetings.
If you are attempting to schedule a little 'You' time amidst this kind of congested schedule, consider the impact this will have on your session.
Under such circumstances most people would have a difficult time quietening their minds and hushing their thoughts about their work and family.
If you are distracted, your reading will produce results that reflect this.
Instead, try booking your appointment for a few hours after work, giving you time to go home and unwind before meeting with your psychic.
Or if you are busy with a family, consider asking a baby sitter or friend or family member to watch your kids for a few hours, allowing you a break from the many demands children provide.
Directly before coming to your psychic reading appointment, try to avoid stimulants or depressants such as alcohol and caffeine.
Eat a well-balanced meal or snack that will keep you from feeling hungry.
Take a quick nap if you find you are feeling sleepy.
If you have a chance, dedicate ten to fifteen minutes of silent meditation, use this time to focus on what you would like your psychic to delve into and discuss.
Preparing your body and mind will enhance your ability to focus during your session.
Once you are at your appointment, ask any and all questions you have in the very beginning.
It is better to get your concerns out of the way initially rather than have them distract you throughout your session.
Find out how and when you will pay, when the appropriate time to ask questions is, if your psychic will need a period of meditation time where he or she will require silence, along with any other enquiries you may have.
Make sure you feel comfortable; if you cannot relax and feel safe you will not be able to channel your thoughts correctly.
Any reputable psychic will be able to address any concerns you may have and should provide a safe, relaxing atmosphere for you to wait in before you session and during the reading.
Discuss the possibility of taking notes or purchasing a recording of your psychic reading.
Some mediums will allow you to write notes or bring in your own tape recorder, while some will provide digital copies of your session at an additional fee.
During your appointment you can expect there to be several moments of silence.
Often a psychic medium will need to focus and concentrate, whether they are trying to clear their mind to receive divine information or whether they are simply meditating so as to better be able to interpret symbols and signs.
Try not to interrupt this quiet time; instead of worrying about your medium and what they are doing, focus on the reason you are at your appointment.
Once the reading begins you should find that your psychic speaks more than you do.
They are there to tell you what they see and feel, and to communicate the messages they may be receiving.
Feel free to ask questions as they go, but most importantly, try to listen.
Messages may not always come in a clear, straight line, and may take several moments to make themselves understood.
If you find your reading is focusing on a topic you did not intend it to, consider if this maybe related to the situation you were concerned about.
Whatever issue is most prevalent in your life, this will call to the psychic most strongly and will impact your reading significantly.
If you have come to talk about whether or not your current partner is your soul mate and your reading is focusing on finance, examine the relationship between the two subjects; remember that this information is coming up for a reason.
Each psychic reading will always be unique; just as one psychic will differ from the next, so will each appointment.
The one thing that should remain consistent is results.
Don't be discouraged if your psychic reading doesn't make sense immediately.
Refer back to your notes, or take some time to reflect on what was said at your appointment; whether it takes one day or one week, eventually the wisdom gained from your reading will make itself clear.
