What is a Psychic Reading?


For anyone who has even looked into psychic readings even a little bit will know that there are many types of psychics and psychic readings you can get.  Each type offers a different skew on the answers you are looking for or provide you with different information.  This post will focus on several different types of readings and offer you some information on what you can expect from each one.

The different types of readings are really based on the different types of psychics and how their abilities work.  Each psychic will claim to have a certain ability and that will correlate to how they conduct your reading.

The Clairvoyant Psychic:  The clairvoyant psychic will be a psychic who will have the ability to actually see images of the past/present/future.  The term clairvoyant actually means to “see clearly”.  Often times they will be able to capture these images from touching people or objects.  Some claim to have the gift without even having to touch something.  Basically this is how this particular type of psychic will obtain their information.  A clairvoyant is often someone who receives their information via all senses such as seeing, hearing and feeling.  Other related terms are clairaudient and clairsentient.  A clairaudient tends to receive their messages by hearing what is happening without having to be there and a clairsentient is someone who feels things in others without having to touch them or know them.  For instance, sometimes clairsentients have been known to feel a disease in another person.

The Medium Psychic: Many of us already know what a Medium is from all the television shows.  A medium is someone who can communicate with the dead and other non-living beings.  Many grieving people seek out the help of a medium in order to communicate with lost loved ones and many find a medium psychic reading to be of a great comfort.  Mediums claim they can communicate or sense other beings as well like “angels” or “demons”.

Accurate psychic readings are a bone of contention among many people.  I would say that the accuracy depends on your ability to perceive what the psychic is trying to convey and your ability to believe in their ability.  Love psychic readings are often the most requested of psychic readings and often leave a person feeling hopeful, but can be distressing if you don’t hear what you want to hear.  A psychic reading should be one that is helpful and compassionate no matter the subject or outcome.  Any psychic worth their grain in salt will know how to give you information in a way that you can best digest it.


Free Online Psychic Reading


Anyone can get a free online psychic reading if you look hard enough.  Actually, you really don’t have to look very hard because most psychic reading places will offer a free reading.  There are so many different types of online psychic readers and psychic websites that finding just what you were looking for is very easy.  Some websites and psychics even offer free email psychic readings.  Whatever freebie is offered you can pretty much bet that it is going to be a “mini reading” offered in order to lure you into ordering a paid reading.

That is not to say that a free psychic reading will not be helpful or “fake”.  The psychic is going to try and give you the best reading in the amount of time or space allotted for the free reading, but they definitely have some tricks up their sleeve to get you to order a paid psychic reading.  Most of them are trained to answer your questions without really answering them.  To let a worm dangle just out of reach so you go ahead and pay them for a full reading in order to hopefully get your answers.  Now you should understand that this is not necessarily a devious move, they are offering you a service and just like anyone else they should be paid accordingly.

I can offer an opinion regarding free online psychic readings having worked as one myself for many years.  There is a school of thought that someone who offers a free reading has to in order for you to pay for them to read to you or that they are not very good and the person who refuses to offer a free reading is the obvious best choice.  This is not always the case.  I have worked on both sides of the coin and I can tell you there are frauds and genuine readers everywhere, so if you are unsure about the psychic you want to choose, then it doesn’t hurt to pick a website that allows for a free psychic reading.  Another way to ensure a quality reading is to get recommendations from others and read reviews.  However, the most important thing to ensure a great psychic reading is to know what to expect up front.

A psychic reading, whether it be a free online psychic reading or a face to face tarot card reading, should leave you with a comforting feeling.  Your reader should be a compassionate and caring person who is sensitive to your reasons for getting a reading.  Please note that many psychics take their work very seriously and if you come there and treat it like a joke then you very likely will not get anything from the experience.
