Advice on seeing a clairvoyant?

Question

I am going to see a clairvoyant for the 1st time next week. I am 20yrs old and pretty sceptical, but open-minded. I haven't really lost anyone close to me, however i have lost great-grandparents, with whom I was too young to remember. I recently lost a colleague (3 weeks ago) and I feel I was pretty close with her. Any possibility she may come through? Basically I want to know, if he asks me questions (which I think he may be asking to try and find out more about me or trick m if you know what I mean) Do i hav to answer?

Also, can I take a dictaphone in? or can I write down the things he says?

Answer 1

I would recommend that you approach this experience just like you would approach any experience where somebody is giving you advice.  Be open minded, but don't expect miracles.  People who communicate with spirits or can see the future are just that - people.  They aren't magic, and if they try to prove that they are magic, be skeptical.  

Consider this entertainment, but realize that the person doing the work is probably going to take this work seriously.  Be respectful and be appreciative if it helps you.  Don't feel that you have to be encouraging or helpful.  You're paying.  Try to remember that it's your time.  Bring your dictaphone or a notepad and ask if you can use it.  It doesn't hurt to ask.

You may get some good advice, whether it comes from the spirit world, from the psychic, or from a friend that goes with you.  Try to go in with specific questions in mind, and don't be surprised if the answers come from an unexpected source.  Most of all, enjoy yourself!  Good luck!

If this person truly has a gift of clairvoyance, then they would not charge you for this.

These types of people are preying on your weaknesses.  When they ask you questions, they will pay very close attention to you, your expressions & your answers.  

Normally these types of people will NOT allow you to take any kind of recording device in with you, nor will they allow you to write anything down.  You won't trick them, in reality they will trick you into believing everything they say.  

Don't waste your money or your time with this nonsense.

One last note, if one is gifted with this, then they are not supposed to profit off of a gift.  As this is bad Karma.

Don't play try and fool the psychic. You'll confuse them. They're people too. For example, I suck at names. Some days, my mind is so full I can't remember my own name, and often call my children by their brother's name. I'm much more likely to desribe your dog's personality, they're likes and dislikes, maybe even their coloring, then telling you his name. You know what I mean? And then if I can't guess the name of your dogs, then I'm nervous, afraid you've already decided against me, and that can quite frankly cloud my sight. Psychics are human too. Contrary to popular belief, we don't know everything. We're merely channels.

I agree with don't tell them anything at first. They may ask for your birthdate. How they connect to you is entirely individualistic, but if you give me too much information about the situation you're asking about, then it ruins what I get, then I'm not sure what YOU gave me and what I'M actually getting. Ask the question, but don't explain.

regarding them asking questions-- Listen to your gut. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. But pay attention to the types of questions they're asking. Often times I'll be told something out of the clear blue sky that makes absolutely no sense to me, and I won't get any other information. Such as just asking someone, "Were you sick last year?" You can tell the difference if you pay attention. sometimes it's not fishing for information. Sometimes what I get IS a question. "Ask him this." Who knows why. So sometimes when I ask someone a question, it's because I'm not sure why I'm hearing something, but it's coming to me strongly. If the question makes you suspicious-- ASK. Ask why they're asking. maybe they're seeing something they can't explain.  Buy very often, the question I ask goes along with whatever it was I just honing in on, it'll part of the answer. Such as picking up a deceased loved one's personality. "Was your aunt this type of person?" Sometimes it's something I feel. Which is another problem I find. There are so few words in the English language to adequately describe such complex emotions.

And yeah, natural psychics are going to tell you way more than you asked. They won't just be able to tell you whether something will happen or not, but will be able to describe the other person involved, or describe the details of what happens. The key to tell a true psychic is in the details they give you, not the answer to the question. Be wary of psychics who gives you yes or no answers or go off on a tangent about their life or start talking about the weather for an unusually long time. A clairvoyant is likely to get a lot of pictures.

I agree that you won't have time to write things down and he won't wait for you. The information can come rather quickly and when your channeling the information, you can sometimes lose sight of the other person. It's like going into a different zone. I don't see however why bringing a tape recorder would be a problem.

good luck!

Hello Claire

If you wish contact from those in spirit you will need to see a Medium, not a Clairvoyant.

Relax & be open minded, if he asks you questions it will be to obtain a stronger link or to get confirmation if your not showing any. I am a psychic, we are not mind readers, nor magicians. It is your time, ask him how he works, which you should have asked when you made the appointment.

The time that you have with him will be short, so if you need guidance on anything go along with your questions prepared.

As for dictaphone etc that you will have to ask him.

Answer 5

Don't make an appointment - the clairvoyant should know you are on your way!  :-)

Seriously, look out for any leading questions - that is ones where the clairvoyant is digging for information to make it sound personal to you.  If the human mind wants to believe something it hears, then it will try to interpret that information in a way that is real to yourself. Think how many fools each day read their "stars" and believe what they read.

Answer 6

Absolute waste of time - how can a human being tell your future or past!

I used to enjoy this entertainment when younger but having had a mind blowing experience happen, which no clairvoyant predicted, I now see it for what it is. It's thick skinned con merchants taking your hard earned cash. Why not donate the money to a worthwhile charity?  

Answer 7

You are wasting your time and your money.

Answer 8

I think you should not pay him until the end of the 'reading' and test him as you go - see if he can come up with the names of these friends and relatives you lost.  Why could he tell you they're happy in heaven or they miss your dog if they can't tell him their names?

You don't have to answer, and you don't have to pay, and you don't have to go and give money to a scam artist.  That last one is the most recommended.

Answer 9

It's up to the Clairvoyant whether you can take a dictaphone in, usually they make you a tape and charge you extra for it, you cant expect to have an accurate reading if you're taking notes you need to concentrate, if you don't want the clairvoyant to "fish" don't wear rings or jewellery or anything unique and don't volunteer too much information, however a clairvoyant will throw you out if you lie . it's highly likely that the reader will assume that you've recently lost someone because this is when people visit clairvoyants most often.

You should approach this as a bit of fun, it's likely that you are visiting a charlatan.

Answer 10

You are wasting youre time going as you havent lost anyone close tou. Youre grate-grandparents wont come through as you didnt know them on earth.

Take a not pad and pen anyway and jot down anything they say and the answers as all may not be clear at the time.

Answer 11

You should take notes. But I doubt if you'll have time, she won't have time for you to scribble.

Here is what you do, be kind and courteous. Don't offer any information, let her lead the questioning because you don't want to taint her thoughts. She will be working in nonlocal reality and you shouldn't interrupt her with your own thoughts. It helps if you have a practiced poker face but most people don't and give away more trying to hide it than just smiling and nodding your head.

Be thinking about what you want her to cover, that will get things ready for the both of you. If she is good she'll tell you more than you want to know. Just relax, you'll know if she is fishing for information, she isn't dumb or she wouldn't be in the field.

You really want to scramble things? Meditate on something about her, write it on a piece of paper and before you leave give it to her and watch the smile.
