Recently a couple of news stories have hit the News about a Gypsy Psychic feud in California. Apparently all those neon signs for Psychic’s that we see in every neighborhood from San Diego to San Francisco are actually controlled and operated by feuding Gypsy families. Judging from the Yahoo story these families operate in a way that would make Tony from ‘The Soprano’s’ proud.

This brings me to an important point: be sure you know who you’re dealing with when getting psychic readings. Make sure you find someone with a good public standing who is well known – by their own name – in their community. Here is a list of guidlines that I have posted elsewhere that I am reposting for your benefit:

The question people most often aske me (besides ‘what do you see?’) is How do I choose a good Psychic? And this is a very good question. It is such a good question that I will answer it here for you – so that you don’t ever have to deal with the many, many, um, not so good psychics out there.

#1 Be aware that there are different levels of psychic information out there. Knowing what you are looking for is the first step towards getting it. Some people – and many psychic’s – see life as something that just happens to them, they think it is all fated or destined and that there is nothing that can be done about any of it. This is a perspective that I strongly disagree with. IF this isn’t what you want, then beware of words like, ‘fate’ or ‘destined’, or broad general statements like ‘soul mates reunited’. This is the lowest level of psychic awareness, and frankly anyone reading this has the same level of talent that these people do. What these people are reading is the Lower Astral plane, and it’s only as potent as the thoughts you’ve had this week. What they are really reading is your current mood or environment. Often this is impressive, because if your mood (or thinking) doesn’t change then you will manifest the things that they see. So, yes, you might meet someone named Karen, or your Dog could get out and not come back for a week. But my question to you is: What good is this information if you can’t use it to create your life – the life you really want!?

#2 Salty water syndrome – avoid drinking salty water, it will never quench your thirst. The dependence that some people form on the above type of psychic is what I call “Salty Water Syndrome.” Why keep going to someone who can’t give you tools for deeper awareness and self-development? Often we are excited when a psychic describes a new love interest coming into our life, especially if they sound attractive and fun, but what good does it do you to repeat the same unhealthy love pattern that has made you unhappy a dozen times before? It takes a much higher level of psychic development and awareness to see the soul-patterns that you are creating and help you to see them too – and then break through them to get the life that you really want. If you are committed to your own personal development then you shouldn’t ever be willing to settle for anything less than a psychic/reader/clairvoyant who is equally committed to seeing you create the life you want, the relationship of your dreams, and a fulfilling and successful career.

#3 Coaching – A highly skilled and developed clairvoyant or psychic can go beyond simple predictions and actually coach you through situations to a happy conclusion. Often this takes the form of helping you see things about yourself that you may not yet be aware of – and which are preventing you from getting what you want. A really good clairvoyant has equally good coaching skills and is also able to use many tools to assist you in getting what you want and moving forward in your life.

#4 Community – When looking for a reading, it is a good idea to ask yourself, ‘What community ties does this Psychic have?’ If they have an ad in the paper, that’s not necessarily bad – what type of paper is it? Is it devoted to personal development, or on the back page of the local weekly which his heavily sprinkled with ‘massage’ ads? This will tell you what type of person you are dealing with. Don’t, I repeat, Don’t go to anyone who advertises alongside pornography! Personally, I would also avoid those who have a neon sign over the door – I have only ever found lower level psychic’s working in that environment. If they are visible in the community in a positive way, then they are probably truly gifted and able to bring you insight and real guidance.

#5 Recommendations – Word of mouth is usually how most people find a psychic or clairvoyant. And this is usually pretty good, but my only suggestion here is that you consider the source – if the person making the recommendation is obsessive or not working on themselves, then they probably aren’t going to see a very highly developed psychic (Read #1), and you shouldn’t follow them down that path. If your friend is committed to personal development, spends time working on themselves and seems to be improving their lives and themselves – then by all means, chase down the person they are working with and do whatever it takes to get yourself an appointment!

#6 Results – When someone is seeing a really good clairvoyant or psychic they will get results in their lives. Things begin to change for the better and problems, fears or limitations that they had in the past begin to evaporate. This is what you want in a clairvoyant/psychic counselor. But it is only available for people who take responsibilty for themselves and are willing to work on things and make themselves better. Sure, there may be some action involved – but the results are worth it! Hey, you don’t get fantastic abs if you don’t work out!

#7 Discernment – Not every situation is a perfect match. There are many people that I will not take as clients, because they aren’t willing to be the cause of their own destiny. We all need to know what level we are on, and if a psychic won’t tell you what they are good at or what their type of expertise is – then you can’t really make an informed decision, and you shouldn’t get involved. My own expertise is in the area of planning and assisting people to find the best use of their talents. I happen to be extremely good at removing blockages and obstacles and there really isn’t anything that can scare me. I have the gift of truth and clarity – I see situations for what they really are at the core level, this makes me very good at helping other’s find their divine path and to uncover their greatest talents and gifts.

#8 ON THE WEB - be sure that the site you’ve found offers real contact information!  Most of these sites only offer pay-per-minute chat lines.  In my opinion this is the hallmark of a business that isn’t governed by moral principles – only the desire for money.  Nobody should be able to call up and waste a readers time trying to get something for nothing, but if you can’t reach a real person to discuss your needs – move on!  Also, on websites and blogs, if they don’t take comments – move on!  That is a sure sign that you are looking at an automated system which won’t offer any real assistance.
