What happens in a psychic reading? Where does the psychic get their information from and how does it work? Spoiler alert: It isn’t from the angels, aliens or Ascended Masters, but it is much closer to home and 100% more accountable.

The Spirit world does not tell us what to do or give us guidance in a reading. Even when some may appear as if there is a spirit whispering in their ear, that isn’t how it works.

It upsets me because so many people portray themselves as being in touch with a spiritual hierarchy that, yes, they are definitely there, but are they telling us what to do with our lives? No.

This is where the accountability and the transparency come in with psychic work. We are an unregulated business. That’s means anyone can just do a reading. Which is kind of good and also kind of scary.

Being accountable as a psychic

It’s up to us to be accountable and transparent in the way we work and what we say we can do. I have a spirit team, as we all do, but mine isn’t any better than yours. My spirit team don’t work any differently when I do readings than yours do. I’ve just learned how to use the information that comes.

To be fully accountable, I can’t claim my spirit team is telling me something, because I’m not 100% clairaudient and I need to be honest in the way I work.

Understanding the process

I had a reading today with a lovely person who opened with: “What does spirit tell me?”

I had to say: “Spirit’s not telling you anything. I’m sorry I have to break it to you like this.”

When explained what really happens in a psychic reading, she was so relieved. She said, “Thank goodness. I always thought it was a bit hokey before and it never rang true, and I’m so glad you said that because now I’m interested in understanding the process.”

A psychic reading, is simply one soul blending with another. My soul’s trained a little bit to learn how to blend with your soul, and know what to do next, but that’s it.

There’s nobody else involved, no spiritual hierarchy, no guides, angels, or aliens.

Strengths and soul qualities

In a psychic reading, I’ll tell you about your past successes, past challenges, the things you’ve learned, your experiences that bring you to this point, and remind you of the strengths and your abilities and your soul qualities so that you can make the decision for your future, not anybody else.

This new level of integrity helps us be more accountable and transparent in a reading.

We call this way of working evidential – the big umbrella term, but it means a psychic must do what it says on the box.

A psychic reading is about you and your life and requires no spirit connection.

A psychic cannot pretend they are in touch with anyone that’s going to tell you guidance in your ear and pass it on. It just doesn’t happen. We love to think it would be, but it doesn’t.

We are all students

If you’re looking at this thinking, “Well, hang on, I’ve been doing that.” That’s okay. Because sometimes we have no idea that evidential work even exists. That’s okay.

It’s not to make anyone wrong, because I’ve made plenty of mistakes in my days, and the point is, we learn and move on.

With luck, this post may pose a question or curiosity to discover more about how a psychic reading works and what’s involved.
