What
is a Psychic Reading?
Psychic
readings mean different things to different people. Ask a tarot
reader and you'll get one answer, ask a psychic medium - you'll
get another and a clairvoyant will give you a different picture
again. They are all using some form of psychic ability but how
it works will vary for each of them.
A
clairvoyant is using their ability
to psychically connect with a client and/or spiritual guides and
channel information. They are called clairvoyant because information
is conveyed through vision - they are literally seeing an image
in their mind's eye of a moment in time. This may be the past,
present or the future. They may see the person that they are reading
for in a particular situation and they can describe it as if they
are viewing a picture or film of it.
An example of this is from a reading that I had once with a gifted
Clairvoyant who described me sitting at a desk with scaffold and
worksheets in the background (the office where I worked was undergoing
building work at the time). She went on to tell me about a concern
with a parcel, something about a bomb, and not to worry because
it would be alright! This was at a time when there were frequent
bomb scares due to IRA activity and the office that I worked in
had already had a few hoax bomb scares. I assumed that it was
related to that at the time. However a couple of weeks later,
I got a message from security to tell me someone had left a parcel
for me, they left no name and had hand delivered it during the
night. I wasn't expecting anything and it was certainly outside
of normal postal deliveries, so with the "warning" in
the back of my mind I was slightly concerned to say the least.
So, with the assistance of security - we tentatively opened a
corner of the package, expecting at any moment to be ducking for
cover. It turned out to be an innocent mis-communication from
a colleague working overseas, who had organised for someone to
drop off their home mail for me to take with me when I visited
them! All the facts that had been provided in the reading were
quite true, but the clairvoyant had obviously stopped before she
got to the bit with us rolling around the floor laughing!
Clairvoyance
is perhaps the psychic ability that most people expect in a reading,
however Clairaudience and Clairsentience are often used as a means
to channel information. A Clairaudient will hear messages
or information, often as clearly as if it is spoken to them. Readings
with a clairaudient are usually fast and direct as they literally
mouth the words coming into their head. A Clairsentient
uses empathic abilities through feelings - they experience the
feeling of a situation, the emotions that are felt by the querent
and those around them. Using this ability alone does not always
give very precise facts, but clairsentience does provide a deeper
understanding of what is going on beneath the surface.
It
is quite common for combinations of these abilities to be used
together in a reading and each reader will have varying levels
of ability in each aspect.
For
tarot readings, the above abilities
are usually used in conjunction with an interpretation of a spread
of tarot cards. The cards have set meanings but the reader is
also using their other psychic abilities to receive information,
whether they are seeing specific images or situations in their
mind's eye, hearing certain words or getting feelings or emotions
from the cards. The cards are used to help the querent with specific
questions or as an aide to assist the flow of information that
is being channelled psychically.
The
tarot is a tool used to assist a psychic's abilities, just as
are crystall balls, runes and other divination devices. The body
can provide further information - palmistry
reads the lines on your hand, iridology through the eyes, etc..
There is still more information that can be determined from the
date of birth such as with Numerology
and Astrology.
A
psychic medium provides yet a different kind of reading.
Their speciality is to channel information from the spirits of
deceased people. Their means of receiving information is still
through either their clairvoyance, clairaudience or clairsentience
but the connection is to the spirits of the departed. They are
sometimes referred to as platform psychics or platform
mediums and may advertise their services as crossing over
readings. Prominent examples of these are depicted in TV programmes
such as the "Ghost Whisperer" and celebrity status
follows such psychic mediums eg John Edwards or James Van Praagh.
