Now more than ever people are turning to psychics and mediums for help and guidance. Our world is changing by the day and people are questioning those things we cannot see and the paranormal.
Is it really possible for there to be life after death and a way to communicate with the deceased? Can someone really be given gifts at birth that allow them to see things everyday people cannot see?
Millions around the world believe in these supernatural powers and have been helped by them one way or another. There are thousands however who are skeptical of these mystical powers and they can’t be blamed really. There are too many fake psychics that give honest psychics a bad name.
People have been conning victims out of money for years by pretending to have psychics abilities. One of the most common tricks scamming psychics use on people is to tell them that harm is coming their way. They scare them into thinking that they’re in danger or that a curse has been placed on them.
They then convince them that the only way to fix their situation is to pay the psychic for their services. Curses and spells aren’t real so if a psychic tries to tell you this, stop communicating with them asap.
However, those who are believers have had incredible psychic experiences. They’ve either personally benefited from a psychic or know someone who has. A lot of people can tell you stories about psychics who knew things they’d never told anyone.
I personally have had amazing readings with talented psychics that have changed my life. I’ve been told things by psychics who had no way of knowing them but did somehow.
Sadly, there is no regulation in the psychic field and this is the reason there are so many fakes pretending to be psychics. There is no certificate or license required to practice as a psychic. This makes it easy for con artists to get away with deceiving unsuspecting victims. 
When I began my psychic journey I was lost, confused and in need of guidance and advice. My life was falling apart before my eyes and I had no idea how to fix it.
I was in such need for help that I didn’t do my homework before I visited a psychic shop. It was a mother-daughter team that I came across while driving.
I was skeptical but they seemed legitimate and I was desperate. They told me a lot of things that sounded crazy now that I think back on them but I was naive at the time.
I paid them what they asked of me and followed their directions. It took me a little while to realize I was being scammed. I was never able to get my money back unfortunately that experience did teach me a valuable lesson.
I was pretty deflated after that and I almost gave up on psychics all together but kept hearing great things from friends. They would tell me about their online psychic readings and how they were able to improve their situation. I decided to do more research and that’s when I discovered a whole world of live online psychics.
I took a chance and spoke to one over the phone. It was then that I realized they have so much more to offer than in person ones and I never looked back. I did have to spend a lot of time weeding through the different psychic networks until I found genuine ones though.
This is why I created this website; in the hopes that others don’t waste their time and money on frauds. Save yourself some time and check out my recommendations for honest, legitimate psychic readers here.
One of the things I learned is that there are a lot of different kinds of psychics. The word psychic is actually more of an umbrella term that covers several different skills. Knowing what kind of psychic service your situation requires ensures that you get the best reading possible and is a good place to start.
Below is a brief description of the different types of psychics and the services they provide:
Fortune Tellers And Seers
Fortune tellers are a very misunderstood type of psychic. A lot of people believe that these psychics have the ability to instantly see the future. They are under the impression that they can ask a specific question and get a precise answer. They think that a psychic will be able to give them exact with dates and details when asked.
This makes sense considering the name but it’s more complicated than that. Instead of automatically knowing exactly what the future holds, fortune tellers have the gift of ‘precognition’. This power allows the psychic to use their heightened intuition, powerful instincts, random thoughts, and elaborate visions to predict future events.
They are also able to see future events due to their ability to make connections between past and present events. They can use these markers along with what is being told to them to paint a vivid picture of what will happen if ones path is not altered.
Fortune tellers also use tarot cards, astrology, crystal balls and other tools to give information about the future. It’s important to know that one’s future is never set in stone. People have free will and can alter the direction of their life at any time if they choose to. If you don’t like how the future looks you can always do the work to change it.
Clairvoyants And Mind Readers
Clairvoyants are people who use one or all of the six ‘Clair Senses’. The difference between them and fortunetellers is that they rely less on the use of tools and more on their own highly developed senses. They’re able to see, hear and even feel information about people and their life. This allows them to see beyond what you or I can see.
Their intuition is also more powerful than most and they can use this to see what is going to happen. The word clairvoyant is French for “seeing clearly” and I can’t think of anyone who can see clearer than than those with enhanced third-eyes.
We all know about the five basic senses humans have- sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. Clairvoyants have all these along with an extra sixth one which is ESP, short for extrasensory perception. The remaining five are also magnified to a higher level than normal.
For example, instead of having regular “sight”, they have clairvoyance which is the ability to see things that the regular human eye can’t see. This can be a person, an animal or an object.
In place of “sound”, they have what is called Clairaudience. This is the ability to hear the thoughts and words of energy and spirits. They can go into a trance or a deep meditation and these sounds come to them when they’re ready to receive them.
Clairalience is the psychic ability to smell things that others cannot. This scent can come from a spirit or an object that and no one else can smell. This scent relays information to the psychic that they then pass along. Clairgustance is similar to Clairalience except it has to do with taste instead of smell. Claircognizance is a gut instinct or intuition that comes true.
Psychic Advisors
Psychic advisors are usually just referred to as psychics. They are the most common type of psychic people seek out. This is probably because of how far and wide their gifts range. Psychic advisors have several different methods they use to help individuals find the path that is right for them.
They don’t tell people what the future holds, instead they rely on letting them know what is going on with their lives in the present. This allows them to answer some of our deepest questions. They are sensitive to the world around them and can pick up on information which makes them extremely in tune with the present.
Some psychics are empaths which means that they can take others’ feelings and emotions and feel them as if they were their own. Knowing first-hand what is going on inside of their clients allows them to give the best advice for them.
A lot of times it can be hard to find the words to describe what’s got us down or why we’re feeling the way we’re feeling. Genuine psychic advisors don’t need you to describe yourself in such detail, they can decipher it on their own and this makes them a popular choice.
They also have heightened intuition and instincts that help them guide others along. Some psychics are gifted with the ability to remotely view things that aren’t near them. This allows them to collect insights about things, people, or events that are happening in different parts of the world.
Others have the power of psychometry which is the ability to get information about someone or something by touching inanimate objects.
Spirit Mediums
Contrary to popular belief, even though all mediums are psychic, not all psychics are mediums. Mediums are known as psychic mediums, spirit mediums, and intuitive mediums. It might seem confusing but knowing the difference is important.
As I mentioned above, psychics tune into the energy of people or objects by using their basic sense of intuition and extrasensory gifts.
Mediums do the same except they take it a step further. They’re able to use their psychic abilities to see the past, present and future events of a person by tuning into spiritual energies.
This allows them to contact and communicate back and forth with those who have passed away.
It’s been scientifically proven that energy cannot be destroyed; it can only be transferred. That means that when we perish, a part of us is left behind. Most people cannot see, hear or feel this energy but mediums can.
They can relay messages and receive information from the spirits of these individuals to those of us who are still alive. This can provide closure if the death was sudden and unexpected and it can help their loved ones make better decisions.
Mediums basically act as a bridge between the spiritual and the physical world with the purpose of healing both worlds. For more information about mediums, click here.
