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.

Finding accurate psychics online can be a bit of a challenge as you probably already know.  While it may be a challenge it is also not nearly has hard as you think it might be.  Psychics get a bad reputation from cheesy shows, movies and shady business practices, but there are genuine psychics out there who want to help and would appreciate your business.  You have to understand that all things paranormal cannot really be proved at this point because science has not caught up with most of it, so this lends itself to exploitation and corruption for those out to make a quick buck.

A lot of my posts on this site have concentrated on trying to bring awareness to the scandalous practices of a lot of people, but I just cannot stress it enough.  An online psychic reading can be just as beneficial as a face to face reading, but many people distrust this format.  It can be trusted if you can find an authentic psychic.  My advice has always been to do your research and browse the websites that you come across.  Is it a big business and fancy website or is it more simple like mine and advertises only one or a handful of psychics?  Usually the individuals offering online psychic readings are more to be trusted than cheesy corporations employing psychics without any accuracy check of their psychic abilities.

Psychics online can be trusted and accurate, but you need to go with your gut instinct on choosing one.  Not all online psychics have their recommendations plastered all over their website, but should be able to provide references, so don’t let that stop you from not using a particular psychic because you don’t see glorified reviews all over their site.  Some of us are much more subtle in our approach than that   Really it is a matter of preference.

What I will warn you against is companies that have 1oo’s of psychics online.  Online psychic readings can be just as accurate as in person readings but you have to have a real accurate psychic in order for that to happen.  Most of these companies hire anyone without verification of psychic abilities.  Do not fall into this trap!  Those are the companies and “psychics” that give the rest of us a bad reputation and frankly it is extremely frustrating to try and undo the bad experiences you have had when you come for a real psychic reading from me.

Use your head is all I am saying!

In the world of psychic readers, online psychics have quickly become the way to go.  It is easy, convenient and very private to have a reading from an online psychic.  Many of these online psychic readers often practice as a psychic in “real” life as well, but reading for people online is another way to diversify their income.  Many of the websites who hire these psychics will require them to pass a “test” before they are hired.  Often this psychic test is that they must perform a reading for another employee, often times the boss.  I know this because I have been an online psychic and had to pass many of these tests myself!  Now, not all the websites require this test and will hire anyone and then teach them how to give a reading.  My advice for you to find the best online psychics is to find a website that is not necessarily the most fancy looking.  The best readers are hired by the smaller companies.

Keen is another way to find independent psychic readers, but the best way here is to read their reviews and find one that will fit your needs.  Keen psychics are independent readers and are allowed to charge anything they wish so be sure to research your options before choosing.  Keen readings are done over the phone and you call a number and are charged a per minute fee.  A lot of people like the idea of speaking to their psychic reader rather than just chatting to them online or through an email reading.  If you prefer to chat with your psychic then many other websites offer a variety of options.

Most psychic websites will allow you to choose what type of reading and how it is delivered from the online psychics.  The typical choices are email psychic readings, psychic phone readings or live online psychic readings done via an instant messenger program or chat room.  There are usually different price ranges for these psychic readings with the email reading typically being the cheapest because the psychic can do them at their leisure.  An on demand psychic reading is usually the most expensive and are usually prorated in 15min intervals.

Whatever your choice of delivery, your online psychic reading should be a relaxing and reassuring experience.  Many websites will offer the free psychic reading for a short period of time so you can try out your psychic before you purchase a reading.  This will help you make a decision and find the right psychic reader for you!
