Tips for Buying a Psychic Reading (The Do’s and Don’ts For Speaking to a Psychic)

Thinking about buying a psychic reading? Are you curious but NOT sure what to expect when you call?

Or, maybe you are on your way to see someone face to face, and simply aren’t sure what is considered “kosher” and what to avoid? In this short article we’re going to take a quick and easy look at what you should do when seeking out psychic or spiritual advice, especially as you are just getting used to a reader for the very first time.

Do have an open mind! Being open, curious, engaged and interested in what the psychic or medium is going to tell you can be an invaluable part of your reading experience. It’s great to be skeptical… and not so skeptical that you eliminate the energy, and kill the connection a real reading between two people NEEDS to succeed.

DON’T be so open minded that your brains fall out!

There is an old saying about this… and in the psychic and spiritual advice world, I find it to be 100% true, and necessary to repeat. (often) Some readers are simply NOT all that psychic, or they are just winging it, guessing as they go or just really, really off. Ultimately, the responsibility of every person getting a reading falls on YOU to intelligently process what you are hearing for accuracy, and authenticity.

If it doesn’t ring true… it very well COULD be that it isn’t. (go with your gut when in doubt)

Do keep your answers short, succinct and to the point. Yes or no responses are required of some of the very best psychics and mediums in the world… just to make sure THEY know, that YOU know they aren’t fishing for answers. (or trying to lead you in a particular direction) So be open, yet protect the privacy of the information that you’d really like the reader to help you with, rather than giving it all away on your own. (and letting THEM take credit for “using their gift” to glean it.

DO interact, though… as well.

At a certain point in the reading, and you’ll KNOW when this is, the (sitter) which is the caller or client, needs to share, open up a bit and allow some of the feedback loop to play out. If you are seeing a medium, for example… who is communicating with YOUR loved one, at a certain point… they’ll NEED you to help clarify, verify, detail and document some of the information that is coming in.

If you just sit there and don’t say anything… you’ll risk missing a huge opportunity to connect with your loved one on a deeper level, and keep the information flowing for as long as possible to boot.

Again, you’l know when this is, as this is the point where “proof” has already been established, and now you are getting to actually enjoy the reading for what is truly designed to give you. (hope, healing and happiness!)

Don’t ask questions that are morbid or inappropriate. (how and when am I going to die is a common one that makes MOST psychics twitch)

Don’t be obnoxious and confrontational. A professional psychic or medium is a human being, just like everyone else, who happens to be in a controversial field of work.

If you don’t believe, and are 100% sure it’s all “make believe” and aren’t willing to have an open mind for 20 minutes or more, don’t make an appointment just to try to make the reader feel like they have something to prove to you. It’s not helpful, and it is very draining for everyone.

(I used to be that person… so I know the urge very well. An amazing experience with a friend who had passed, and a follow up visit to a random medium changed my perspective 180 degrees, and now I know better! But, even today… if am cynical of a claim made by ANY profession,… I avoid them. Period. No more confrontational karma for me!)

Lastly, DO enjoy yourself. A good reading should be fun and entertaining and should make you feel GOOD when it’s over. Don’t take it all so seriously… and allow your psychic reading to unfold in a fun, easy and inspiring way… and it will, I promise!

How much does a good psychic reading cost? What is the right price to pay for a professional, accurate and honest psychic or medium? And why are so many online psychics so darn expensive?

Is there any correlation between how much a reader charges and how accurate or insightful they are? And how much do the celebrity or TV mediums charge? Are they really worth 2 and 3 times the cost of someone I’d find in my own local community, or via a well known service online?

Any of these questions sound familiar? If they do… you are NOT alone!

There is no question that comes up more in my own articles and audience, than the dizzying disparity between the different prices you can pay for a genuine reading, and whether or not HIGH prices is indicative of HIGH levels of accuracy as well.

Curious to know more? Let’s explore a bit, immediately below:

First, understand THIS to be true… because it is.

When it comes to price, HIGHER can often mean less value, less accuracy and less honesty as well.

Some of the best readings I’ve ever gotten have been amongst the least expensive, and some of the worst… the

MOST expensive, often with readers with brand names or big businesses.

In other words, you’ll often find that the priciest readers often charge rates so much higher than their peers, that the law of demising returns applies. (in other words – a $50 dollar reading can often yield just as much info as a $500 dollar reading, with a lot less risk to the caller or client)

Consider THIS:

The best online psychic services have price performance promises – great guarantees, and stellar customer service in the event that you DON’T love the reading, or the psychic session fizzles, rather than dazzles. (which WILL happen, even with good and reputable readers)

Contrast that against a well known celebrity psychic who may be chugging you a fortune… AND making you wait weeks or months to get an appointment, who will VERY rarely offer the same guarantees or performance promises. (e.g. – you’ll have a hard time finding a well known psychic or medium who offers money back guarantees on their readings, simply because they believe they are above that sort of thing, even though they should)

Also, remember that a specialized style reading can be more expensive as well.

A past life psychic reading, that included regression, or even hypnosis (always done in person) can run hundreds of dollars, and often is done by a therapist who has a degree in regression therapy. (and one of the few types of readings that I prefer to get face to face, rather than getting it done via the phone, which in general is my preference)

My best advice for you?

Always do your due diligence, and never believe that you’ve got to pay through the nose to get an amazing, entertaining, inspiring and informational reading.

Try to stick with psychic services that offer incentives, good rates for first time callers, include great guarantees and ultimately, do what ALL confident clairvoyants and spiritual advisors should: put their money where their mouths are!

(if they don’t blow you away… you should NOT have to pay!)

That is called giving away the spoiler in the headline!  :-)
