Finding the Right Reading Fit
This blog entry is the second installment of a five-blog series on Understanding Readings.
Intuitive (a.k.a. psychic) readings are tools that tap into inner knowledge to assess situations and offer insight, clarity and wisdom. This insight can support personal decision-making and choices. A reading isn't intended to dictate a fixed destiny. There are countless ways to receive a reading, but most of us are more familiar with these common offerings.
Tarot Cards. Tarot readings use a deck of symbolic cards to explore your past, present, and potential future. The deck, designed with symbolic art, is divided into two sections: Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. Using imagery and intuitive interpretation, tarot spreads (the layout of the cards) focus the reading on the information you wish to receive.
Astrology. These readings look to the sky – the sun, moon, and the planets - to explore patterns associated with personality, experiences, and life circumstances. Birth charts, the most common forms of astrology readings, examine where the sun, moon, and planets fall within what are called Houses and their relationship to one another. These charts offer insight into personality traits, experiences and behavioral patterns, and potential life lessons. Astrology requires much study and practice, along with intuitive interpretation.
Mediumship. Ever hear your name when no one was there? Mediumship focuses on perceived communication with loved ones who have passed. For those who seek this type of reading, the experience may offer solace, reassurance, or meaningful insight.
Energy or Aura. Ever felt a vibe? These readings focus on what practitioners describe as a person's aura or energy and explore emotional, spiritual, or energetic patterns. Aura readings, Reiki, and Healing Touch are a few examples.
Clairvoyant/Intuitive. These readings usually don’t require any tools but instead rely on intuitive perception to provide insight and clarity. With your permission, the practitioner uses intuitive impressions -- which may be experienced through feeling, hearing, sight, smell, or taste -- to interpret information for the reading.
Palmistry. Reading palms involves reviewing the lines, skin ridge patterns, and the shapes of your hands and fingers to offer insight into your life and personal traits.
Unfortunately, some readers don’t always have their clients' best interests at heart, leaving people to believe the entire experience is “hogwash” or a scam. It’s important you know some red flags to protect yourself and your wallet.
