HOW TO FIND A GOOD PSYCHIC
OR SPIRITUAL HEALER

Question: "How do I choose a psychic/spiritual healer? I am unsure if the healers that are working with me are the right ones. How does one know?"

Psychic Advice:
There are many psychics and spiritual healers in the world who offer different types of services, with varying degrees of expertise and skill. There are psychics and healers who are naturally gifted, some who are trained in different areas of specialty, and there are unfortunately some who are not genuine.

When trying to find a good psychic or spiritual healer, read testimonials from their clients to get a sense of how they work, and what others have experienced. If they are really good psychics or spiritual healers, people will give them feedback. The longer they have been doing their work, the more testimonials they should have.

Any really good psychic or spiritual healer should have a website that describes their work, their background, and the services they offer. Make sure that the person who will be doing your reading is actually the person on the website and not a "psychic" or "healer" from a "psychic service". (Some telephone and Internet psychics, especially those who charge by the minute, do "readings" from scripts, and keep people on the phone as long as possible in order to charge more. They will often use fear to hook people into other expensive services, like removing curses, etc.)

A good psychic or spiritual healer should genuinely care about helping others, because that is what this work is really about. I feel it is a privilege to assist my clients to create joy and transformation in their own lives. My greatest satisfaction comes from helping those who help others, and many of my clients are other psychics, spiritual healers, doctors, counselors, etc. who also refer their clients to me. The best way to find a good psychic or spiritual healer is through referrals from others whom you trust.

To find a good a psychic or spiritual healer for you, don't just rely on what other people say or on what you read. Get a sense of what you feel about that person, because a reading or spiritual healing is a very personal thing, and you must be able to trust and feel comfortable with the person who is working with you. A good psychic or spiritual healer should be warm, caring and compassionate, while also being confident and powerful. You should get a good sense of all these things when you connect with him/her. If something does not feel comfortable to you, then it is not right for you.

People are drawn to different psychics and healers for different reasons. You must be clear about what you want out of the session, and make sure that the person you are working with is willing and able to address that area. For instance, although I am able to contact those on the Other Side, I do not specialize in mediumship, and I will only contact departed loved ones when it is necessary for healing, as with suicide, or the death of a young person, or a spouse, etc.

Remember that a reading or healing is really a co-operative effort: you must be willing to heal and transform your life, because no one else can do that for you - all true healing comes from within. A good psychic can draw you a roadmap for your life, and even suggest the best routes that will lead you to your fulfillment, but you are the one who chooses your own path, and you are the one who must take the necessary steps to get you where you want to go. A good spiritual healer can shift and remove energy blocks that impede your wellbeing, but you must change the patterns of thought, feeling and action that caused them, or they will simply manifest again.

How you feel after the session really determines whether a psychic or healer is good for you. You should feel inspired, motivated, energized and empowered after a reading or healing (although you may feel tired if a session was very intense). You should feel like you have more power in your life, with more choices and opportunities available to you. You should have an understanding of what was causing any blocks to your happiness and wellbeing, and how you can heal or shift them.

People are often apprehensive about having a reading because they don't want to be told something "bad". I will always gently tell my clients the truth of what I see and feel, and what can be done about it - there is always choice, and always more than one way of experiencing something, including the possibility of avoiding it altogether. Predicting the future is based on probability, because you have the power to change your future based on the choices you make now.

A good psychic or spiritual healer should not leave you feeling afraid, powerless or insecure. Watch out for those who want to keep you coming back, or who keep finding other problems that they can "remove" for a fee. A good psychic or spiritual healer should not foster a sense of dependence on them, but empower you to be successful and independent.

You must learn to trust how you feel in order to know what is true for you. Make sure that the psychic or spiritual healer you are working with has a sincere desire to support you in your happiness. It takes heart to be a good psychic or spiritual healer, although there are many who approach it in a "matter of fact" and impersonal way.

You will always get something from every experience, and sometimes you are meant to get one piece from a particular person, then move on. If your own intuition is telling you that those you are working with may no longer be right for you, you must trust that, because you are always right for yourself.
