Important Questions to Ask a Psychic
Here are some specific questions you may want to ask when you’re looking for a psychic, reader, or energy worker in order to get a better understanding of what they have to offer. Also, it's important to note that just because a reader is famous or very psychic, it doesn’t mean they’re honest or aware of spiritual truths.
1) What is your background in this field? (Don't discount someone who doesn't have formal training as there are many good readers who are naturals or self-taught.)
2) What tools do you use for readings? (Each reader has their own style. For example, Stephen doesn’t need tarot cards for a reading but sometimes uses them as triggers for his intuition to obtain as much information for clients as possible.)
3) What is your personal spiritual/religious background? (Too much dogma can influence a reading.)
4) Are you open to other religious paths?
5) What type of energy do you work with? (Caution, the answer should be Light or White or positive, never dark or "black magic," for example.)
6) Do you use spells or spell casting? (Caution, this is a red flag.)
7) Can you bring a lover back or stop divorce? (Caution, it’s not anyone's right to control or manipulate someone else.)
8) Do you guarantee 100% accuracy? (Caution, no reader is 100% accurate.)
9) Do you remove curses? (Caution, if someone says that your problems are the result of a curse, and they can remove it for a very high fee, avoid them.)
10) Do you believe in reincarnation and karma? (The answer to both should be yes as you can't have one without the other. The understanding of these basic spiritual concepts is reflected in the readings of good psychics, thereby avoiding victim consciousness and supporting the idea of personal accountability.)
11) Can you erase karma? (Caution, it's not possible to erase someone else's karma without them having to directly balance it, and whether or not we can erase our own without any effort or without experiencing it is debatable.)
Be cautious of the following:
1) Readings done by astrologers, numerologists or psychics who over-emphasize memberships in professional organizations (that anyone can join if they simply pay the annual fees) and the awards they have received from those organizations that rarely, if ever have anything to do with accurate prediction.
2) Readings by those who mistakenly associate letting go and accepting what you can't change with unproductiveness or passiveness.
3) Readings by those who talk loosely about karma and dharma (what one must do in this life), but who, at the same time, deny the tenets of reincarnation and fate.
4) Readings by those who deny the fact that this universe includes polarities, which means that it is impossible to have, for example, light without darkness, peace without conflict, and success without failure.
5) Readings done by those who promote the misconception that there is one and only one “soul mate” on this planet for everyone (everyone has many “soul mates,” and there is no such thing as a perfect match, or perfect relationship).
6) Readings done by those who ignore the truth that “soul mate” relationships are usually less about getting what one wants romantically, and much more about spiritual growth, important lessons, and achieving various shared goals.
7) Readings done by astrologers and numerologists who promote the myth that real astrology and numerology were never, or are not currently about predicting fate, but about “only possibilities”.
8) Analyses using only psychologically-based, modern Western astrology or only modern, Western numerology.
9) Readings done by people who put more emphasis on creative writing (entertainment) than delineation and prediction.
10) Readers who deny that spiritual development is intimately connected to self-actualization (complete self-knowledge on all levels) instead of just being about “getting what you want” (which is sometimes contrary to one’s fated path).
