see a psychic

I went up to finally see my cousins in Connecticut over New Years after five years of not seeing them.
My cousin Lauren has always been raving about this one psychic Christina down in Mystic Village. She was the same psychic that told my other cousin Betty when certain family members were going to die (why she wanted to know that, I still don’t know) and it all happened.
And she always told Lauren things that really happened, and things that have happened, so she is a legit psychic.

Anyway, she told me that I was thinking about a move and that I’d be back in Connecticut this year.
A few days before seeing the psychic, Lauren and I arranged for me to move in with her and her boyfriend this May!

She also told me that she sees no darkness in my life, that I will be happy, and I will die of old age. There was nothing she said that she needed to warn me about.

She told me names and some things about certain people that ONLY I could’ve known. And someone I never expected is apparently going to come and visit me.
Ooh I’m nervous about that.

Then she said that I was to be engaged in 2010, married in 2011, and have two kids.
Well… we’ll see how that goes! haha

Then something that scared me a little bit was said.

A few years ago, I was going to visit my friend Patrick and I was speeding up to make a left turn at an intersection when I saw the arrows turn yellow.
They turned red just as I was speeding through, and I forgot how quickly that intersection changes lights. Well, the other side turned green as I was turning left and I slammed on my breaks as a black car came out in front of me (completely my fault, I shouldn’t have done that).
Well, it was a weird thing when that happened. I know my breaks, and they’re not that good. I would’ve killed the guy. I was speeding left, and I stopped about two inches away from his driver’s side door. There’s just no way that my car, this POS car, could’ve stopped like that.
The psychic told me that at that accident (I didn’t tell her a thing, she told me everything that had happened, and that was strange too) that my guardian angels had helped to stop the car. And that the man would’ve died.

I would be in jail right now for manslaughter.

Well I don’t believe in God or angels, but just the thought of that is really nice and I’ve been thanking them over and over since the day at the psychic, and I’ll continue to do that weather I believe in them or not, just because it feels nice and it feels right.

there was a psychic fair a block from my house yesterday… basically the local clairvoyant school was offering free healings and cheap readings. It was so cool to be in the presence of a bunch of talented people… I think they were students, but the insights during my readings were definitely legit (i.e. no cold reading, no free association) and helpful. I’m glad because I’ve been wanting to visit a psychic for awhile but wanted to find someone real..now I know where a bunch are! :)

But Sylvia Browne said I would have kids in two years and blah blah blah. We’ll see.

And very interesting. I think this is a valuble experience whether you believe in such matters or not.

It was interesting, she was right about a lot of things and it wasn’t vague. She told me a lot about my personality and then moved on to say how many children I would have.

That I should take the job at the White Horse (and therefore move out of my folks house as soon as I can save the money), that I should travel as soon as possible (probably by fall of next year), that I should take up jewelry making again, that I am going to go back to school, and that I’m going to have kids and be a great mother (despite the fact that I have essentially vowed that I would never do this).

She said I was off the course of my life path and by doing some of these things (namely moving away from my folks and travelling) I should be able to get back onto it.

She wants me to face my fears and not be afraid to live life – actually she told me to put a face on fear everyday and laugh it away. Eventually with this excercise, I should be a more empowered woman who just goes out and lives life (rather than being afraid of making the wrong choices). She wants me to do yoga and meditate (why those are two of my goals).

Last night, I meditated (for the first time, really) and laughed fear in it’s face. I think I might be getting back on track.

My cousin had a psychic party where we all get individual readings. I was a bit nervous about what to expect, but I wanted to have the experience, just to see what it was about. Wow!! I spent a half=hour with him and got all teary, shaky and freaked. I said almost nothing to him, but he kept picking up on things that were so accurate..mostly about my recent marraige
breakup.
Overall, i thought it was a great experience.I would do it again with this guy.

Nowadays it has become a hype among psychics to claim that everyone has some potential to develop psychic powers. However, it often turns out that these psychics hardly discriminate between observations beyond the 5 normal senses, and the perfectly normal ‘intuition’ – e.g. described by Carl Gustav Jung as a normal aspect of the human mind.

Therefore it makes sense to make things a bit more specific. For example by means of a definition of what one can expect from people who claim to have certain psychic abilities:

What can one expect from a psychic medium?What can one expect from a psychic reading?What can one expect from a spiritual reading?

Hopefully this helps you a little bit to discriminate ‘the psychic’ from ‘the psychology’ during a reading of a psychic or a medium.

If you go to see a psychic, you want to make sure you go to someone reputable, not a con artist. I’ve known a number of psychics over the years-my mother ran a metaphysical (a.k.a. “new age”) shop for many years-and almost all the ones I’ve met have been legit.

My advice to you would be to get recommendations from people who have already been to see a psychic. Generally speaking, if there’s a metaphysical shop having a card reader or psychic doing short readings there, the person will probably be legit; most people who run these kind of shops don’t want to have scam artists working there because it’s bad for business. It’s also a pretty “safe” intro, becaue it’ll probably be a 15- to 30-minute session, and you’ll get a good idea where the psychic is at. Listen to your intuition, too. The spiritualist church in my area also hosts “psychic fairs,” and most of the people who read there are pretty good—although there is one crazy b*tch who shows up there regularly, but most people avoid her.

• Tell you that your life is in danger or that you have “a lot of negative energy around you” (which they can “clear” if you give them money for a “special treatment” or talisman);
• Be found at a 900 number (Sorry, Miss Cleo);
• Be abusive or controlling; or
• Ask for sexual favors or any personally identifying information (such as social security number, etc).

Most legitimate psychics view themselves as counselors on some level, and as such, they subscribe to a code of ethics very similar to professionals in the counseling fields. You should expect the same degree of ethical behavior from a good psychic as you would from a good psychologist.

But it’ll do for me.

For my 21st birthday I went to the big city. I made an appointment with a Tarot reader. Initially I didn’t know I was making an appointment for my Tarot cards to be read- I honestly just thought it was a psychic of some sort.

So anyway- she read my cards and scarily enough it made sense. I paid $45 for the session and came out satisfied. The experience was interesting.
