Psychics: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Hello everybody!  Sunny day here in GA, and I've done all my household chores.  Including cleaning out the frig and the freezer.  Where do all those mysterious foil wrapped packages come from??  Even a psychic doesn't know for sure, LOL!
  Today I am posting on psychics, which probably should be a forbidden topic since this is my calling.  I have worked in the psychic world for over thirty years and met many other psychics, mediums, and readers.  Like my title today says, I have met good psychics, bad or so-called psychics, and the rest.  There have been a few which I will call, "the ugly", because of their attitudes and the way they treated their clients.  I will give you some ideas  how to choose a good psychic, and hopefully avoid the bad, and the "ugly". 
  Let's look at the word, "psychic" first.  This is a catch-all word for several different types of people with metaphysical or spiritual gifts.  A psychic can be a clairvoyant, which means "clear seeing".  A clairvoyant may have visions of today and of the future.  He or she may see images in crystal balls, water, cards, or  just get psychic flashes and images. They may "clearly see" your future or their own.  They may also see auras or colors around you, which could give them information about your mental, emotional or physical health.  Clairvoyants can also be gifted with clairaudience, or "clear hearing", and clairsentience or "clear sensing".
  Another type of psychic is a telepath.  A true telepath can read your mind, and possibly even send you thoughts. Many people are telepathic, whether or not they are psychics.  As an example, think about someone close to you, maybe your spouse or partner.  How often have you thought of something like, "Maybe we should go out to dinner tonight", and then your spouse says that very same thing to you?  Maybe you sent your partner that thought telepathically or they read your mind.  If a telepath has a career as psychic, telling fortunes, reading cards, etc, he or she may be very good at reading your mind and knowing what you want to hear.  This can be a good thing, unless they use it to their advantage in some way.
  Another type of person you will find working in the psychic world is a medium.  You may notice I did not say a medium is a psychic.  Normally I would include mediums in the psychic category, but alot of them would not agree.  Some mediums will definately tell you they are not psychics.  Mediums communicate with the dead, and with spirits.  There have been so many TV shows about mediums, that most of us probably have some idea how they work.  Mediums may work during a seance contacting a spirit of someone who has passed on.  They may also work more informally, by going into a trance and contacting a spirit.  This does not have to be a full blown trance.  The medium may just open his or her mind to the experience and appear somewhat unfocused.  Any of these methods can be valid, and depends on the experience and preference of the medium.  Some mediums also work with a "guide", which is a spirit who is like a go-between.   The guide helps facilitate the communication between the medium and the spirit world.
  There are many other types of psychics, but these are three of the main things psychics can do.  Other psychics can have telekinetic gifts, which means they can move objects with their minds.  Some psychics are empaths, meaning they can feel your emotions very strongly.  This can be a real gift while working with people, but unless an empath learns some control of the gift, it can also be draining and difficult.  Just think what it would be like if
you felt strong emotions coming at you from everyone you met!
  You do not have to be a professional psychic to have any of these gifts.  Many people who live "regular" lives are very psychic, and can have any of the gifts I've mentioned today.  A career as a professional psychic is not an easy one, and not usually all that lucrative either.  Many psychics choose to work with the public because they enjoy the work, like helping people, and feel a true calling in that direction.  Keep in mind however, that being a professional psychic is a job, and that psychics are people just like everyone else.  Most of the time if we want to pay our bills we have to work!
  On my next post I will continue telling you about psychics and how to choose a good one.  I will also talk about how to avoid the "bad and the ugly".  Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.
