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
