Are you concerned about psychic scams? Do you worry that your first reading is going to be a major disappointment? What is the best way to make sure a psychic is real before you call?

In this article we are going to take a quick and insightful look at how you can tell a psychic is real, or at least get as good of an idea as possible before you waste your time, energy, effort and income. Sound interesting? Continue reading as we take a closer look below!
Filed Under: Aren’t Certified Psychics the Answer?
Honestly? It’s a good idea…and a good start, but even psychic certification is fraught with errors and subjectivity. What do I mean? Lots of really GREAT intuitive’s I know simply have no interest in subjecting themselves to a certification program created by someone else…..especially when there is a profit involved. (those who offer certification often CHARGE for the accreditation) And of course, psychic certification is still pretty subjective. There is very little objective measurement that goes into deciding who is good…and who is not. (the best way STILL is to simply test the psychic yourself!)
Filed Under: Is Psychic Trust Possible at All?
Absolutely there is! Just like hiring any other service professional, you’ve got a plethora of powerful ways to tell if they’re worth the investment:
- Do they have fans? (a good psychic has raving fans and repeat clients who come back over and over again….just like me!)
- Has the network been around for a while? (I recommend ONLY seeing psychics who work for services with at least a 5 year track record or history)
- Do they offer a money back guarantee? (if they do…..good news! The ONLY risk you run is NOT trying them out for yourself!)
- Do they LOOK legitimate? (we’ve all seen tacky web sites that look like they were thrown up in the middle of the night by an amateur. unfortunately…in my experience, how a psychic (or service) PRESENTS themselves to the public is a pretty accurate barometer of how good they’re going to be!)
- Are they SNOBS? (you WANT a psychic service that’s snobby…and ONLY hires the cream of the crop and the elite level intuitive’s. Let the other networks hire the rejects…as those are the networks you want to avoid like the plague)
The bottom line?
A good psychic IS easy to spot from a mile away. But often, the ONLY real way to know for sure, is to call them yourself! (and if they offer you all of the protections above, the good news is you really have NO risk at all if they’re NOT as good as you hope!)
Do you need to see a psychic?
Are you having a crisis, conundrum or just going through a confusing time in your life? Many people find that turning to a psychic can be an incredibly helpful thing in times of uncertainty….and I’ve certainly had my share of "crisis" psychic readings in my day as well.
Think that may be something YOU need to do next? If so…..I’ve written some simple tips just about anyone can use to get the MOST of our your first (or next) reading…and make sure it’s NOT only one you’ll never forget, but a reading you won’t immediately regret once it over. Curious to know more? Continue reading as we take a closer look below!
- Tip #1: Decide What Sort of Psychic You Want to See First: Why? Different types of psychics specialize in different sorts of readings. Knowing the difference between a love psychic reading and a medium is important! (and if you don’t….it’s a good place to start before you call!)
- Tip #2: Pick the BEST Psychic Service (or individual intuitive) for YOUR Needs: That means choose a psychic service that is reputable, is legitimate, employs certified psychics and has a good reputation, stellar customer service and feels right for you! (trust your own intuition when it comes to selecting psychics or services….this is the best advice anyone can offer..:-)
- Tip #3: A Moment of Meditation: I recommend (and personally do) at least 5 minutes of mediation before I start a reading. Why? Because it allows you to clear out any mental cobwebs, get clear and express some simple gratitude for the information that you hope to come through. I truly believe that a big part of a successful reading is a rapport between the intuitive and the client…..and this is one of the best ways to build that bridge before you even begin!
- Tip #4: Prioritize Your Most Important Questions:Write them down. Make a short list. Don’t spend more than 5 or 10 minutes on this….just write them out in a top of mind, stream of consciousness style way. When you’ve got your list……call (or visit) your reader while your focus is clear, and your energy MOST aligned with the issues that need the most illumination and insight.
- Tip #5: Major in the Meaningful: Remember, most telephone readings are anywhere from 10-60 minutes in length…so it’s important to MAJOR in the sort of questions that are most meaningful and will offer you the greatest amount of clarity, long term. Don’t focus on asking the reader what you had for breakfast…or what you’re favorite color is, or who your favorite celebrity is. Ask meaningful questions that have meaningful answers you can really USE and apply to your life! Cutting out the "fluff" when getting a psychic reading is critical to making the most of your investment, and the #1 thing I wish I would have learned earlier on myself! (but now I get RIGHT to the point on my own weekly calls…saving time, energy, income and effort on every one!)
The Bottom line is….
A good psychic CAN change your life. It’s my hope that the simple tips above help you make the most out of YOUR next reading….especially if you really feel you need one now!
Who else is looking for the best psychic reading?
If you are actively in the "market" for a psychic reading, the chances are you want the best, right? I mean, who is looking for an average psychic or just someone "so-so"? But in my 20 years of experience with readings, both personally and professionally, I see people making the very same mistakes over and over again when it comes to identifying who REALLY is the best psychic for them……
- People who are having their FIRST reading and aren’t sure what they are looking for
- People who mistakenly think a good psychic costs a TON of money.
- People who don’t realize there are many DIFFERENT types of psychics (and readings) and don’t recognize that EACH individual has individual needs!
My best advice for people new to the psychic scene for picking the right reader?
Understand that who may be "best" for me….may NOT be best for you. Understand that comfort, and rapport with a reader is really important to not only getting a great reading, but to feeling like you’ll actually use and apply the advice and information you’ve been given! That you CAN get a great psychic reading at a fraction of the cost that the celebrities charge…and that these readings are often FAR better and more astoundingly good than the "name brand" celebrity psychics offer. (my best reading in 20 years cost about 18…..my worst close to 1800!)
Remember, a psychic connection is an entirely personal, and intimate experience!
When you call (or visit) a psychic for the first time, you should feel comfortable, and confident. You should feel excited…but NOT overwhelmed! And you should have fun first and foremost…even if the reason you are calling is serious and somber.
The truth is, a great reading is like connecting with a great friend, AND your highest and best self. In that world…..all is "ok", even when things AREN’T ok!
(and that’s the reason so many people flock to get good psychic advice….it reminds us all that everything, regardless of how it looks right now, WILL be okay in the end..:-)

Are psychic reading discounts hard to find? How much does a real reading cost, anyway?
And why are so many psychic services, networks and intuitive so damn expensive, anyway? Any of these questions sound familiar? If they do…..are you aren’t alone! Many of the people who enjoy our blog posts and truly want to explore their OWN psychic reading are put off, dismayed and downright disappointed in the prices being charged out there. With that in mind….I’d like to explore a super simple way you can get a discount on your NEXT psychic reading….if you find yourself in the same boat.
Question: I’d really love to get a reading, but they’re simply too expensive! How can I save money and still talk to a genuine psychic?
The key? You’ve got to take advantage of offers that are designed SPECIFICALLY for you! The truth is, while some networks and individual intuitive’s charge rates that are difficult for many to afford, most offer first time customers special rates that are often only a FRACTION of the rates they charge returning or regular clients and callers. So what I like to do is advise my friends and family who are interested in a reading…..but wary of the high price points they see commonly advertised, to advantage the special often "unadvertised" rates that are reserved especially for their first time trying the service.
The key to doing this the "smart" way is……
To simply get a FULL reading in at the "trial" price. In my 20 years of experience with psychic readings, writing and research, I can honestly tell you that you only need a 20 or 30 minute session with an authentic psychic to truly have a life changing experience. (many people believe you need to "talk" far longer than you really do….30 minutes is really the longest I ever go these days, and I’ve had readings of 2 and 3 hours in the past!)
So in effect, you can advantage a great offer for a ridiculously low price, and really NOT need a follow up reading for another 3 or 6 months. (at which time, you can simply look for a new, similar offer to try…..and if you do your research right, you should be able to get 3 or 4 GREAT readings a year at prices that are so low…..just about ANYBODY can afford them, even in this economy..:-)
That’s really it……
It’s not necessary to overpay for anything in this world…and a great psychic is really no different. Follow my simple suggestions and you’ll find yourself with a great reading, at a great price and if you are like me, be smiling at the end to boot!
Are past life memories really true?
One of the more common questions we get about reincarnation and past lives is on the topic of past life regression therapy and techniques. Do they really offer insight into past lives and previous incarnations…..or is it all just a construct of the imagination?
Honestly? It really DOES depend who you ask! Many people I know are devout believers in regression therapy and others believe that ANYTIME you introduce hypnosis into the equation you are starting to deal with fuzzy facts at best. (simply because people can “remember” things that never happened…..regardless of what they see in that state)
Note…..there is a TON of good evidence that has come out of these style sessions, with prestigious doctors like Dr. Brian Weiss pioneering fascinating work into the nature of past lives and access to those incarnations through regression therapy.
My advice? If you are TRULY interested in past lives simply get a past life PSYCHIC reading.
It’s safe…….it’s NOT so controversial, and it’s pretty comfortable to do over the phone for LESS than 25 bucks. (if you use the Psychic Junkie’s recommended service that is..:-)
If you are intersted in learning more about regression therapy…and it’s orgins, check out some of the interesting facts on Wikipedia…..you may just find some of the BETTER evidence pretty compelling. (I know I do!) E
Past life regression is mentioned in the Upanishads of ancient India,[4] but is discussed in greater detail in the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali. Writing during the second century BCE, the Hindu scholar Patañjali discussed the soul being burdened with an accumulation of impressions that were part of the karma from previous lives.[5]
Patañjali called the process of past life regression, prati-prasav (literally “reverse birthing”), and involved addressing current problems through memories of past lives. Prati-prasav is used today as a practice in some types of yoga.[6][7]In the modern era, it was the works of Madame Blavatsky, co-founder of the Theosophical Society, which brought it a new found popularity, especially in the West.
French educator Allan Kardec also delved into past life regression in The Spirits Book and Heaven and Hell. Past life regression therapy has been developed since the 1950s by psychologists, psychiatrists and mediums. The belief gained credibility because some of the advocates possess legitimate credentials, though these credentials were in areas unrelated to religion, psychotherapy or other domains dealing with past lives and mental health.
Interest in the phenomenon started due to American housewife Virginia Tighe reporting and recounting the alleged memories of a 19th-century Irish woman named Bridey Murphy; later investigation failed to support the existence of such a woman and the memories were attributed to Tighe’s childhood during which she spent time living next to an Irish immigrant.[1]
Real psychic readings…….are they tough to find?
What percentage of psychic readings are real…and what % are simply scams? And MOST importantly…..how do you tell the difference BEFORE you begin? The truth is, identifying a real psychic can be harder to do than many people will suggest.
Many smart folks have been “scammed” by fake psychics, and the ONLY real way to ensure a psychic is real is to have your OWN personal experience that proves they are true.
The truth? I have my own preferred network of readers and intuitives….and believe they are the BEST there is. But that doesn’t mean that you should take that at face value.
Have your own experiences.
Get out there and make appointments with psychics that “feel” right for you, work for legitimate neworks and seem reputable.
Never spend more than you can afford….and if possible, take advantage of low cost, trial offers for first time readings that you CAN afford with ease. Put 10, 20 or 30 dollars aside…..and test a psychic before you invest more time, energy and income on more in depth readings. (the truth is…..if you’re like me, you only NEED a 20 or 30 minute reading to begin with, making some first time offers a GREAT deal at prefered psychic networks)
Check out the article below on some addtional thoughts about finding real psychics…..OR simply get started with your OWN reading, right here and make up your own mind today! Enjoy!
Every psychic uses their own personality, and prism to filter out what they see. And in MY experience, the psychic “gift”, or level of “light” and illumination that a psychic possess, is a function of natural talent, AND a practice.So many new or unpolished psychics see only a glimmer of the truth, or only a small fraction of the energy that you emanate.
This leads to lots of inconsistent readings, with some “hits” alongside a lot of misses…and is a very common experience when getting a reading with an average or only mediocre psychic talent.The easiest way to overcome this? Be very “psychically selective”.
Insist on elite level, top flight intuitive’s when you get a reading. Test a psychic before you invest heavily in time, energy, effort. (or your income..:-) You’ll find the difference in readings between 2 intuitive’s can be DRAMATIC…and if you pick properly, a good reading can truly change your life and transform your future. (I know it has mine!)
