A barrel of apples is usually going to yield some bad ones. And you’re bound to find them if you dig deeper until you reach the bottom.
This is the same with psychics as a whole and as a profession. You’ll find the really good ones with shiny reputations up top while the rotten ones are down at the bottom. Sometimes some of the rotten ones manage to find themselves nearer to the top and some of the good one’s sink.
It’s an uncontrollable factor in the psychic profession.
But, who is giving psychic readings a bad name?
Although psychics have been around for a very long time, it is only recently that an effort to formalize the profession has been taken seriously. And though others would say that being psychic isn’t really a legitimate profession, the real one’s soldier on to bring about a better understanding of what a psychic is, what they do and how they do it.
So here are some things you should know about psychics and how to spot a sham when you meet them. A real psychic won’t make unrealistic promises. If they tell you they can connect you with the dead or provide you accurate readings of your future without gathering data, then chances are you’re dealing with a scam artist.
These are the people who are giving the psychic profession a bad name. More on this you can find here:
FORTUNE TELLERS GIVE PSYCHICS AND MEDIUMS A BAD NAME
by Astrid
(UK)As a working psychic medium I feel I need to yet touch on this subject matter again owing to the forums I see on the internet and the ratings and feed back given to us in the profession.
I will say and agree that there are many charlatans in my profession but equally there are many excellent psychic mediums too. However before you start to criticise us, you need to have a basic understanding of how the laws of the Universe work and also many so called Psychics will jump down my throat when I say this, “It’s impossible to foretell the future”. The genuine psychics and mediums amongst us will understand this, but let me explain.
We are all subject in life and after death to the laws of the Universe, namely there is cause and effect, every thought and deed we have and do will cause ripples of energy and effect others. One you will know well as ‘Karma’ i.e. you are accountable for all your actions and what you give out you will get back tenfold, us Spiritualists know this as ‘Compensation and retribution for all souls’. To put it even simpler, if you bear bad thoughts and actions towards others you will have to pay for it either in this lifetime or in another but positively if you do good deeds and think positively for others you will be rewarded. Positive thoughts and deeds attract positivity and likewise negativity attracts negativity. This is known as the ‘law of attraction’. Read more…
A real psychic bases his (or her) readings on the data they’ve collected from you. They’ll take note of your behaviors decision-making factors and other personality quirks and provide you a reading based on that. Instead of connecting you with the spirit world, a psychic can help you get over the death of a loved one by going through some steps to bring about closure.
Love advice can only be given accurately based on the information you provide about the other person. Mostly it’ll be a reading based on you and what you should expect from a relationship if one should come about. For best results, bring the loved one along.
And another thing, psychics look just like you and me. They don’t have to dress up to look mystical or spooky (although that’s a personal preference) so don’t be surprised if a psychic in normal clothes gives you a pretty accurate reading without looking like a weirdo!
Lastly, if what they say is too good to be true or you even have a hint that they’re faking, just walk away. It’s not worth losing your money over.
