Psychic readings confound people. Mysticism swirls and looms ominously. It is some voodoo magic or woo-woo quality that others find mysteriously haunting. It is a step into another realm.

That last part is true.

Here’s the skinny.

We can all do what I do, if only to different extents. I know many intuitive people who use their abilities every day to make decisions. That’s a big part of what being psychic is – tapping into your intuition and using it as a guide for your greatest good and highest purpose. It’s also about picking up signals around you concerning other people or situations.

Last week, I posted steps for meeting your spirit guides. The steps for receiving psychic information are basically the same. However, the more you practice, the less need for a ritual to tap into it.

My primary way of receiving messages is psychometry, holding on to something with the person’s energy, such as a ring or a favorite item. It is not the only means since I frequently read for people on video and phone calls. I’ve also learned that I tend to receive messages from people in this lifetime in my left ear, from passed souls in my right ear, and from spirit guides and angels as they come up from behind my head and back. It helps me distinguish the source and how to best direct questions.

On a personal level, I have learned that random song lyrics or recalling a long-ago character from TV or a book is not a coincidence, and to look for what it is trying to tell me.

Others tell me, “I only hear things, or see things, or dream things.” We tend to dismiss the ways we receive information as not psychic. Trust your experience, your way of receiving information. Don’t wait for validation.

That said, it is hardest for me to read me because of my obvious closeness to the situation. Occasionally, I also seek readings from others in different disciplines, such as astrologists, tarot readers, aura readers, etc. Some of what I hear is confirmation and much is context that helps me to discern the messages.

I hope this is helpful and answers some of your questions. I am always happy to take your call and share how I can help you.
