Preparing For A Reading

Although no special preparations are needed before having a medium reading, people often ask what to expect and what they can do to help assure a successful reading. Below are a few tips people have found helpful...

When getting a reading you should have at least an idea of what you hope to get out of it while still being open to whatever comes through for you. Curiosity is usually not a good reason for spirit to come through.

If there is a loved one you want to hear from it's recommended that you invite them to
attend the reading (after all they are no different then us and they will appreciate being
asked). You can talk to them and they CAN hear you.

You should plan to keep notes during your reading. Should information not make sense immediately you'll be able to verify it later. Some people have reported information coming true up to a year or two after their reading so DO keep your notes.

Be open and know that not all readings will be the same. Some will offer vast amounts of validation while others offer practical advice. The medium cannot tell the spirit world what they should talk about and definitely cannot make them talk.

Loved ones in spirit only have a certain amount of energy to expend and will do their best to communicate as much as possible within that time. They may even have a list of things they plan to relay and may even refuse to stray from that script even if we ask them to. Others will be open to answering questions on the spot, it all depends on them and need.

Allow your loved ones coming through to choose their own validation, don't force them to give you exactly what YOU want, again they are very much people too.

Always be honest with your reader and never attempt to test or fool them. Spirit people
will shut a medium down and refuse to speak if they know an intention isn't good.

If you're dissatisfied with your reading DO NOT wait for an hour to pass before letting your reader know. Within the first 15 minutes of the reading you should feel if the reader is connecting or not, if not and the reader hasn't stopped the reading then the reading should be stopped by you.

In some cases the energy simply isn't right for a reading to take place. This can be due to many factors... you or the reader may be getting ill, you may be stressed from a long day, there may be an outside issue in the environment or even a person near you who has a bad attitude toward psychic readings. There are many reasons why psychic energy can become disrupted. It's best to stop a reading and reschedule in those cases.

You should always let your reader know how many persons you plan to bring to your
reading with you and if those guests are related to you or not. Unrelated guests in
attendance may result in reading multiple families or your guest being read instead of
you.

Try to have a good idea of your family tree on all sides of the family including your
spouse's.

Know that any connection a spirit person has to you, even if you never knew that person personally when they were alive, will afford them access to your reading and an opportunity to get a message to their loved ones.
