What is a psychic?
The word 'psychic' originates from the Greek word 'Psyche' meaning the human soul, spirit, or mind.
Psychic - from Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary
1 - of or pertaining to the human soul or mind; mental (opposed to physical).
2 - Psychology pertaining to or noting mental phenomena that cannot be explained otherwise that as originating outside of or independently of normal psychological processes
3 - outside of natural or scientific knowledge; spiritual
4- a person who is specially sensitive to psychic influences or forces of a nonphysical, apparently supernatural nature; medium.
Simply put, a psychic is someone who accesses and retrieves information from the Universal Consciousness and Energies.
Where does the information come from? How do they get their information?
Well the answer to this does vary a bit, dependant on the reader. All readers "tap in" to your personal energy vibration as well as the energies of Universal knowledge. There a 5 main ways of receiving information:
Clairvoyance is the ability to "see" psychically.
Clairaudience is the ability to "hear" intuitively
Clairsentience is the ability to "feel" empathetically
Clairaroma or clairscent, is the ability to "smell"
Clairgustus or clairsavourance, is the ability to "taste"
Some readers use one, some or all of these abilities when doing a reading. Some also like to use a divination or oracle tool to supplement the information they a re psychically getting. This tools are often (but not limited too) tarot cards, pendulum, automatic writing, scrying (ball gazing), runes and tea leaves.
How do I find a psychic? How do I know a psychic is authentic?
First and foremost the BEST way is word of mouth! Get a recommendation from someone you know that has personally had a reading done. If you don't know anyone that fits this category, do not be afraid to look around on your own (web, phonebook, etc.). Once you have found a psychic the BEST advice I can offer is to follow your gut! If it just does not feel right to you, I encourage you to honor your own innate intuition. And do not be afraid to ask for credentials! Ask if the reader is certified, and if so from where? Ask how long they have been doing readings. Ask for their accuracy rate (oh... and if ANYONE tells you their rate is 100%, I can assure that is NOT possible).
What can I expect from a reading?
At the very least you should walk away with a bit more clarity and insight regarding yourself, something and/or someone. At the best, you should walk away from your reading feeling informed and empowered! Readings a wonderful way of gathering information that enables you to be prepared, make informed decisions and let you know that you are in control! They are also an excellent resource in seeing how the many pieces of your Life fit together, giving you a clear look at the *Bigger Picture*
I hope you found this information helpful!
Blessings to All!
