I’m going to start this article off with a confession, and a revelation as well (just so you know where I’m coming from).
I have absolutely NO doubt that there are many amazing psychic mediums working today, who can give you honest, insightful access to your loved ones who have crossed over to the other side.
PERIOD.
I’ve not only had many, many personal experiences that has proved this to me beyond the shadow of a doubt, I have many close friends who are professional mediums, who can do exactly that.
That’s the “revelation” if you will.
The confession is THIS:
Some mediums cheat. As a matter of fact, I’ve had FAR more bad readings in my life, than good ones. The bad ones are rarely due to cheating, rather…they are due to the medium NOT being all that good!
That said – many mediums employ various cheating techniques to help them appear far more gifted than they are. To ignore this reality, would be unfair, and unfortunately, not an accurate representation of the psychic profession as as whole. (even though the percentage of dishonest mediums is very, very small)
The short list below is a compendium of my OWN checklist of “cheats”, and things I look for whether I’m visiting a medium in person, or whether I’m speaking to them by phone.
Lots of leading questions. (“have you traveled recently?”)
Lots of VAGUE generalities (I see the letter “D”)
Too many open ended answers. (a good medium wants you to say LESS, rather than more. Yes and NO answers are preferable)
An obvious attention to your body language, appearance or mannerisms (you feel like you are being “looked up and down” and judged)
And insistence on WRONG information. (many mediums will try to insist something is true, even when you make it clear that it’s not!)
Obviously a medium who wants to charge you more money, or incorporate other services you didn’t sign up for…is NOT being honest. (no reputable psychic or medium will try to sell you on a candle lighting ceremony, a spell or a curse removal, and if this comes up…RUN for the hills in a hurry!)
The bottom line is, do NOT allow the bad mediums who manipulate the public scare you from seeking out legitimate mediums who CAN change your life in amazing ways. There are bad “seeds” in every profession, and while I’d love to believe all psychics are honest, unfortunately, there are a few bad apples in ours as well!
