How to Pick The Right Expert

Recently I wrote several articles about the different types of readings allowing you to pick the one that would best answer your questions. My friend Azz just did an article that is a wonderful addition to help you choose the right expert to give you that reading. I hope you'll jump over and read her article and you might want to read some of her other articles as well. They are full of really good information and I'm sure you'll learn a lot from her.

Is Your Child's Friend Imaginary or A Spirit That Has Passed? Part 1

My great niece has a friend named Jackie that her mommy can’t see. If you’re thinking how cute she has an imaginary friend just like other kids, you would be wrong. Jackie is a spirit of a young child that has passed. Jackie had a very hard life with a mother that was physically abusive. We know this because Jasmyne told us the story many times. Did we ever worry about her thinking she saw a spirit? No, because we knew she did and always encouraged her to befriend it. We felt Jackie needed a good friend like Jasmyne to help her get passed her terrible childhood and be able to see not all Mommies’ were like hers. I will be asking Jasmyne, and her mother, if she would like to write something about Jackie for my blog and perhaps give us her point of view about seeing spirits. If they agree to do this, I will be adding it as soon as I receive it.

When my own grandson was about seven years old, he told me about his past life. We were having pizza with a few other children who thought it would be a good idea if their parents allowed them to eat pizza anytime they wanted. I was trying to explain to them why they couldn’t just eat pizza and told them they would understand when they became parents. At that time, my grandson told me he knew what it was like to be a parent because when he was here before he had children of his own. Later that day, he again told me and his Dad how he had lived here before and had children. When we ask where those children were now, he said he didn’t know because they were already grown up and quite old when he passed at a very old age.

Last year, my grandson told me all about a conversation he had with an African American man named Justin. The man came to Rowan one night in his mommy’s mirror. He told me all about the conversation they had and how much he enjoyed talking to Justin. He then said his mom came in the room and told him it was time for bed, and asked who he was talking to when she came in the room. He explained about Justin and she just told him to tell his friend he had to go to bed now. He said they exchanged a nice farewell and then he went to sleep. He wasn’t afraid of Justin, nor was he worried about telling us. He knew Justin was a spirit and wasn’t there to harm him. I will also be asking my grandson and his parents if he would like to share his experiences here, and will post it when if they agree.

Are these two children different from many others that have imaginary friends? Do your own children have an imaginary friend that makes you wonder if the child can actually see someone? Does your baby often seem to be laughing or smiling at something or someone only they can see?
Do people tell you your child is different and should see a counselor? I hope in the next few articles I can help you better understand there is nothing wrong with your child, it is a common occurrence for children to be able to physically see spirits that have crossed. Often babies and small children are actually seeing spirits because they still have innocence.

Before I go any further, I understand that for some this all goes against their religious beliefs. Many may also think we are wrong to encourage our children to talk with the spirits, and I would never want to impose my own beliefs on you, just ask that you have an open mind when reading my article. For our family, this is nothing new, but has been something we were aware of most of our lives. My maternal great grandmother, as well as my paternal grandmother were both healers and continued helping people even in a time when they were labeled as evil. It’s your choice to read this article, as it’s your choice to believe or not that your own children may actually be communicating with spirits. I would just like to give some insight to those that are questioning if this may be happening with your child.

This gift can be quite unsettling for both the parents and the children. My hope is to give you, the parent, a little guidance to better understand what your child is dealing with and how you can help them. While I can give you advice, it’s truly your decision on the best path to take for your child.
 
For many children, they are afraid to tell anyone or talk about what they see for fear of people thinking they are weird or crazy. They aren’t comfortable talking to their parents or may not be sure of the reaction they will get if their friends find out. Most kids want to fit in with the rest, not feel like an outsider or different because of their experiences, so they often never speak about it to anyone. Instead, they may withdraw into themselves or just try to deal with it on their own. They need to feel they have a safe place to discuss this without being made feel like it’s wrong or not really happening. You, as the parent, will need to decide if you can be that safe place for them. If you think as the parent, this is a tough thing to deal with, try to put yourself into the child’s place and understand how hard it is for them.

This is just the beginning of several articles I will be writing to better help you and your child. Be sure to bookmark this blog to read more in the next few weeks.

Blessings,
Ms. Yvonne

How Do I Pick The Right Psychic Reader? Part 5

This article will give you a little more insight to picking the right reader for you. I’m going to cover two topics that I am more familiar with, as these are the types of readings I do on a daily basis.

PSYCHIC READING
Many that do psychic readings do them entirely on the energy they draw from you. While others, like myself, may use different types of divination tools to help guide them with the reading. I often use the tarot, pendulum or angel cards to start the reading. These tools may help me to pick up on your energy, allowing me to give you a better reading. At other times, I sense your energy right from the start, and the reading just flows. This type of reading allows for many different types of questions, although it seems like most want to know about their love life.

When I do a straight psychic reading without tools, I’m often asked how I know what I’m getting. I wish I could explain it better than just saying I just know, but the truth is, I just know. Sometimes I hear or see things that need to be part of the message, other times it just appears in my head as part of the reading. If there are others reading this blog that do only psychic readings and can explain it better, I hope you’ll post your comments to help better explain how this type of reading is done for you.

TAROT CARD READING

I realize I already covered this in a previous article, but there was more I'd like to add. If this seems a little redundant, it's only because these areas were brought to me for more information.
This type of reading is done using a deck of tarot cards, seems obvious doesn’t it? While some tarot readers do not feel they are psychic, I feel they have some degree or they wouldn’t be able to give such good readings. If you choose to have a tarot reading, the first thing you should remember is while each card has a meaning, the meaning can change depending on where the card lies in the spread and also the cards that surround them. There are also many different decks of cards available, and each reader generally picks the deck they feel most comfortable using.

I’ve often heard people remark it can’t be that hard to just memorize or read the meanings of the cards from a book. To them I say, reading the tarot is so much more and while it can be learned from a book, there is so much more you’ll need to know. One card can have many different outcomes depending on where it lands in a spread. Let me give you an example of how one card can affect your outcome.

For this example, I use the ten of cups, which can be a great card if it falls for your outcome in an upright position. In this position, it means happiness, abundance, and good things in regards to your family. If it is in the reverse position, it will then mean unhappiness, sorrow, sadness and loss. Where it to fall in the past, even upright, it means that was the way things were before, but may have changed depending on the surrounding cards. While these simple meanings can be found in a book, you still need to know how it is affected by the other cards in the spread.

When I, as well as most readers, do a spread, we don’t just see the individual cards, but a story emerge from them. For me, I use the cards as a tool to start the reading, but usually use my own abilities to read your energy as well. I’m often asked for time frames when I give a reading and while I don’t like to do this, sometimes its part of the reading and needs to be said. The reason most readers don’t like giving time frames is because your free will or that of others can change the timing and outcome of the reading.

I often use the pendulum for dowsing for lost items, but I don’t usually offer this as part of my service. It’s also a good way to get a short yes or no answer to simple questions. I find most people don’t just want a yes or no, but want the answer explained in detail. For this type of questions I usually use the pendulum to get the answer, then use my own ability or the aid of the tarot to get the details.

Again, please remember, the outcome of your situation depends on your free will or the free will of others involved in your life. The outcome is never set in stone, but should be used as a guide line for your future. If you don’t like the outcome, you and only you can change it. You should choose an expert you feel comfortable reading for you. I always tell my clients if at any time they feel uncomfortable, just tell me and we will stop the reading.

There was a question posted recently on the forum of a site I’m currently doing readings asking how much the age of the reader matters when clients are looking for an expert. My personal opinion is that while some may prefer to seek older experts, the age is really insignificant. You should really pick the expert that best picks up on your personal energy allowing them to give you an accurate reading. How you choose the expert is entirely up to you, but keep in mind while you think you are choosing the reader, the choice is usually made for you. I find most people are drawn to someone, rather than just choosing a random reader.

To get the best out of any type of reading, you need to go into it with the understanding that while the message may not be exactly what you wanted to hear, it is truly the message you need to hear. If you’re not open to hearing the truth in your reading, then it really isn’t going to be a good reading for you. If you only want the reader to tell you what you want to hear, rather than the truth, then save your money and write your own fairy tale.

One more subject I would like to bring up and will be doing a more detailed article soon is spell casting. Please understand that while many experts are capable of casting spells, they don’t offer the service for many reasons. For myself, while I can cast spells, I’m not always comfortable about offering them if I feel they are being done to hurt or harm another. Actually, even when I’m not told, I usually know and will refuse to help. I just want you to remember that Karma is always out there and it can work for you or against you. How you use it is entirely your decision, but remember you made the choice when it comes back to you.

This will be the last of the articles on this subject for now, but if you have any questions or want to know more about any of these types of readings or others you may be looking at, please let me know and if I don’t know the answers I would be happy to find out the information for you from an expert in that field.

If you’ve read all of the articles and would like a reading from me in the areas I work with, please contact me and we can get started working on your future answers.

How do I pick the right psychic reader? Part 4

Sorry to take so long to come back to this but I’ve been a little off balance for the last few days. Most that know me will probably say I’m always a little off, but that’s just me and it’s okay.

I thought I would cover at least two more types of readings for this segment. They are the more popular reads, or I should say, the most often requested by my clients. The first one I want to discuss is a Medium. While I have always seen and communicated with spirits that have passed, even as a small child, I don’t consider myself a medium. The reason behind this would be because I can’t really control it. I will be trying to attend a few workshops to learn how better to deal with this, but for now, I’m not comfortable offering this type of reading. I do have spirits come to me to give messages to their loved ones still here, I’m not always sure my clients are open to hearing the message. Often, I will be doing a psychic or tarot reading, only to have a deceased love one come through for my client. I will pass on their message if the client is open to receiving it. Now enough about my method and problems with it, let’s move on.

Medium
Do you want to know if your loved one suffered before passing? Do you want to know if they are okay? Are there questions that were left unanswered before they passed? These are the types of questions where you would want to have a reading done by a medium. Just as there are different types of readers, so are there different ways mediums get their messages for you. Some only hear the message, others may just see objects, while others can see and carry on a full conversation with the spirit. I don’t feel one is better for you than the other, it really depends on the one you most trust and feel comfortable giving you the message.

I’ve often heard people go to a group type event and get upset because they didn’t receive a message from their loved one. For many skeptics, they will often then feel the medium is a fake and the whole thing was staged. While there may be some fakes out there, this doesn’t really mean the medium was a fake. There are several things to consider in this type of situation. The first being there is only so much time for these events, thus the medium can only do so many readings in the time allotted. Second and most important, while you may be open to hearing from your loved one, their spirit may not be ready to come through. If you choose to try to get a reading through this type of venue, there are a few things you need to do to help this along. The spirit of your loved ones are always around you, so take some time to let them know you will be at the venue and ask them to please come through for you. You might also want to bring a personal item or picture of your passed loved one along to the event. Again, remember the time restraints on this type of situation, so not everyone will be able to be heard.

If you truly want to communicate with your loved ones, I strongly suggest you have a one on one reading with a good medium. They will often ask you to bring along something of the one you are trying to reach, or at least a picture. It will help them to pick up their energy. Again, the spirit has to be willing to come through. Keep in mind, although we have a lot of wonderful technology available to us today, the cell towers do not reach the beyond. In essence, there is no direct phone line to the other side, so the spirit has to be willing to come forward with the message.
While I don’t do this type of reading, I will pass on this link where you can find some wonderful experts that might help you. Please keep in mind this not a free site, the experts do charge for their time and knowledge. http://www.liveperson.com/experts/spirituality-religion/
 
Tarot Card Reading
While most people don’t understand there are different types of readings, many think all readers use the tarot. I think by now you understand, tarot reading is just one form of readings. There are many different tarot decks, and each reader picks the one they feel most comfortable using. The deck I use is the original one I started with over 25 years ago, and still use today. I have many other sets I’ve tried over the years, but feel I get a more accurate read with the original set. You might have one reader use the Rider-Wait, while another may use the Robin Wood, Faerie Tarot, or a vast number of others. There is no right or wrong deck, it all depends on how well the reader knows and can interpret the cards they are using.

I’ve had people tell me it can’t be that hard to read Tarot. All you have to do is buy the cards and read the meaning from the book. Well, they would be very wrong in this assumption. If you come across someone that tries to give you a reading in this manner, run, don’t walk, as far away from them as possible. A true reader doesn’t do a reading by the book, but rather by the story the cards tell. There are many different ways to lay the cards, but whatever the layout, the cards should flow into a story. While each card is important to the reading, it can take on a different meaning depending on where it falls in the spread.

The tarot can answer many types of questions; however, not all readers will be open to reading for all questions. Some tarot readers will not do time lines, others have no problem using them. If you need a time line to help answer your questions, be sure to ask the reader beforehand if they offer this as part of their reading. One question that is asked a lot is regarding pregnancy, when it will occur, what the sex will be, and will the child be okay. This is another subject many readers are not comfortable answering. Whatever your questions, always ask up front before the reading if the person giving you the read has a problem giving this type of information. It will make the outcome of the reading more beneficial to you and you’ll be more comfortable during the reading.

As with any type of reading, you should not have to provide a lot of information before the reading. If I’m doing a face to face client, I just ask their first name to make the reading more comfortable for both of us. Because they are there in front of me, I only need them to shuffle their thought and energy into the cards. While this will work with face to face readings, it is a little different with online chat, email or phone readings. Many readers will just ask for a first name, while others ask for a date of birth. I usually ask for the name, however, I often ask the date of birth. My reasoning behind this is I need to pick up your personal energy, and the date of birth assures me I’m getting the right person. Think of it like this, if your name is Mary, I’m sure you know of at least three or four other people with the same first name, however, when you add in the date of birth it narrows it down to you. If there is another person involved, such as spouse, you will need to provide their name and date of birth also.

I hope these articles are helpful to you in deciding what type of reading will best fit your needs. As always, the best way to find a good reader is word of mouth, but if that’s not possible for you just do a little research. If it’s an online community, be sure to read what other clients have to say about that reader. Again, there are a lot of free sites out there, but please be careful about using one. While there are many that are honest, you might want to do a web search to find out reviews and complaints.

I’ll be doing one more part to this set of articles, and then we can move on to a new topic. If there are any topics you might like me to address, please let me know. I might not be able to address it, but I can ask someone with more knowledge to guest blog for the subject.

As always, if you have any questions or need further information about any of the information I’ve posted, please don’t hesitant to contact me. I’d love hearing your thoughts and comments on these articles.
Blessings,
Ms. Yvonne

How do I pick the right psychic reader? Part 2

As I said in my previous post, there are many different kinds of reading to choose from. Not all readings are the same, nor all all readers as each has a different style or specialty. I will be giving you a little insight into the various types of readings you might come across. It's up to you to choose the one that will best answer your questions.

Also, please keep in mind that you have free will to change the outcome of your life. If the reader tells you one thing and you choose to go a different way, then you will not get the outcome the reader gave you because you changed the aspects of the question. An example of this would be asking when and where you will meet your soul mate. The reader may see you meeting that person in the market on Wednesday, however, if you choose to stay home on that day the likely hood of meeting that person will not happen. Now you may say that means the reader gave you a bad reading, but the real truth is you deliberately used free will to change the outcome.

You must also be open to hearing and accepting the truth of the reading. If you want to know when your ex will come back to you, the truth of the reading may be that you need to make some changes in your life and attitude to make that happen. While this may not be what you wanted to hear, it's the true reality of the situation and things won't change until you do.

Over the next few post, I will give you a little more insight to some of the different ways and styles of readings you may come across. Some I'm not as familiar with as others, and many of them I do not personally do, however, I can refer you to a few very good experts in these fields.

Astrology
Astrology is the science of studying celestial bodies and how their cycles and energy effect our lives. It can give you a deeper understanding of your relationships and give you clues as to why you are attracted to some and repelled by others.

Natal astrology is based on the concept that an individuals personality or life path can be determined by doing a natal chart based on the exact date, time and location of your birth. The astrologer utilizes charts based on your date of birth, sometimes time of birth added in, to give you an indication of the course of your life. This is usually based on the lining of the planets and astrological birth signs as part of the calculations

Horary astrology attempts to answer a question constructing a horoscope for the exact time the questions is asked.

Numerology
Numerology is the use of numeric values, such as your date of birth, and their influences on human life. Readings are based on the belief that your name and date of birth are what determines who you are and what will happen during the course of your life. It can be used to help you with life changes such as moving, changing jobs, investing, or travel, just to name a few.

Aura
Aura readers are able to read and interpret the colors of the aura surrounding your physical body. Every living thing produces it's own energy or aura. An aura is a field of multicolored energies that surround the body. The colors of the aura can change according to your everyday changes. The appearance of your can suggest your mood or personality.

Each color, as well as it's location to a particular part of your body, is taken into consideration when giving you a reading.

This is just my own interpretation of the above types of readings and is by no means a full description. I don't do these type of readings, so I would advise you to go to someone more qualified and will provide you a link to several experts that are better able to help you.
http://www.liveperson.com/experts/spirituality-religion/

The above website requires you to pay for the readings, it is not free. There are many free sites on the Internet, but remember you get what you pay for and you many have to weed through a lot of fake sites to get a good expert.

The best method for finding a good reader is always word of mouth, but if you don't have someone you can trust to give you a good reference, then do your homework. First and foremost, use common sense and remember if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is and you need to be careful. Second, do a little research, see what types of readings they offer, and be sure to read all the information they have posted about what you can expect to receive from them.

Be sure to follow along, because I will be adding a few new types of reading in the coming days.
Blessings

How do I pick the right psychic reader? Part 1

How do I pick the right psychic reader is a question I am asked all the time. There are many factors to weigh when trying to decide which reader is right for you. The first thing you need to understand that not all readers are the same. Just as doctors specialize in different fields of medicine, the same holds true for readers. You first must identify what type of reader will best suit your needs and be able to answer the questions you are asking. Let's take a look at the different styles of readings that are available to you and it may help you decide how to pick the best reader for you.

Astrologer - Utilize Charts based on your date of birth, sometimes time of birth added in, to give you an indication of the course of your life. This is usually based on the lining of the planets and astrological birth signs as part of the calculations.

Angel Cards - Much like a tarot card reading. These readers will give your message through the guidance of GOD and the angels.

Cartomancy - These readings are done using a regular deck of playing cards and dates back many decades.

Tarot Cards - These readings are done with the aid of Tarot Cards. With the cards they can give you past, present and future information. Many readers can use the cards to also give you approximate time lines, as well as answer simple yes or no questions. There are many different decks of these cards and most readers choose the set they are most comfortable using.

Numerology - The use of numeric values, such as your date of birth, and their influences on human life.

Aura Readings - Aura readers are able to read and interpret the colors of the aura surrounding your physical body.

Palm Reading - This type of reading is done by studying the lines and surface of your hand.

Tea Leaves - After drinking a cup of tea made with loose tea leaves, the reader will read the leaves that remain in the cup.

Runes - Consists of a reading done with 24 stones laid out in different spreads. The message comes from the markings on the stones. This is one of the oldest forms of divination tools.

Dowsing - This is usually done with a pendulum to locate lost items. Dowsing was often done with rods to find water. It can also be used to answer different types of questions depending on the charts being used by the reader.

Scrying - This type of reading is usually done with a crystal ball, however, a mirror or water can also be used to obtain the message.

Medium - The connect with spirits in the afterlife and are able to deliver personal messages to you from loved ones who have died. Please understand they don't have a direct telephone line to the other side, so the reading will often depend on your loved one willing to come through to them.

Clairaudience - This is the ability to sense or hear sounds not perceived by normal means. They often get their messages as told to them through their guides speaking to them.

Clairsentience - They will use their extra sense to receive messages regarding past, present and future information

These are just a few types of readings available. I will be adding more as we go along, I just wanted to give you an idea of the many different abilities being utilized. I realize this may be a lot of information to take in, and you may need to know a little more about each one to better give you an understanding of what they can offer you. Over the next few days, I will be giving you a more detailed look into the different aspects of each type of reading. Be sure to bookmark this page so you don't miss the upcoming editions.
