For centuries, psychic phenomena have been prevalent in many cultures. Mesopotamians read shapes by dropping oil into water. The ancient Chinese practiced palmistry. Victorians held seances in candlelit rooms, and the French popularised tarot card divination in the 1700s. Psychic abilities have been demonstrated on television, in celebrity mediumship, and in film.
Humans are inquisitive creatures who enjoy exploring the unknown and a psychic reading is a powerful way to find answers to life’s most perplexing questions. They can offer clarity, peace of mind, inspiration, and comprehension. Because of the myths surrounding the subject, psychic readings are frequently met with skepticism and disbelief. People are afraid of what they don’t understand, or they try to rationalise mystical experiences as more practical or mundane.
Psychic readings continue to be performed in many guises, and they are here to stay. Let’s look at some of the most common psychic myths and why they exist.
MYTH 1 – ‘Psychic readings are ‘woo-woo’ nonsense.’
Have you ever had an experience that seemed too coincidental to be explained by science or logic?
Maybe you thought of someone for the first time in ages and then got a phone call or a text from them. Or you had a dream about an event occurring, only to have that event occur in your waking life.
Psychics are born with or learn to develop their natural abilities to read, understand, interpret, and receive energy that is not perceived through the five senses. They use their sixth sense to access thoughts, emotions, comprehension, and experience from beyond our reality’s veil – these are all part of the psychic phenomenon.
The ‘sixth sense’ is essential for gaining access to information beyond the ‘physical’ realm. Many near-death experiences have been studied, and many similarities between those who have had them have been discovered. These people receive a sense of peace and understanding from beyond this life’s experience and return with the realisation that everything is simply energy, and that life is not as it appears on the surface.
Clairvoyance, synchronicity, and communication with the afterlife are all examples of psychic experiences. While these concepts may appear ‘woo-woo’ to some, they have been studied in Universities and implemented in military forces throughout history. These ideas can also be found in many religions and belief systems.
MYTH 2 – ‘Psychics research their clients before a reading.’
Finding a psychic reader and having your reading performed can now be done in a matter of minutes. Non-believers or anyone who has never had an authentic psychic reading before may believe that psychics research their clients before a reading.
Many psychics give readings all day – they simply wouldn’t have enough time to investigate every detail of their client’s life. Personal information, such as past lovers, relationships with deceased loved ones, or information about traumatic experiences, is not always available on someone’s social media page.
Aside from a first name and phone number, psychics know very little about their clients beforehand. Furthermore, depending on where you book your psychic, they may not be the ones who receive your personal information in advance. Often, they will use an assistant or rely on a website to automate their schedule, and they will only receive your information a few minutes before the reading.
MYTH 3 – ‘Psychics can read your mind and most private thoughts.’
Psychics detect and receive energy through sound, sensations, imagery, and inner knowing. While some psychics can read thought forms, this isn’t usually how they get their information. A psychic’s mind is frequently as full as anyone else’s, if not more so. It would be nearly impossible for them to ‘read’ your mind.
Because psychics are more sensitive to other people’s energy than non-psychics, they must maintain a sense of preservation when interacting with it. Being psychic does not grant them the ability to be all-knowing; they don’t always know everyone’s thoughts, intentions, and motives. To use their abilities, they must concentrate on specific energy and then interpret it, which can be exhausting.
MYTH 4 – ‘You can’t get an accurate psychic reading over the phone or online.’
Thanks to modern technology, you can have a psychic reading from the comfort of your own home. Some people believe that phone or online readings are less effective than in-person readings. The truth is that all types of psychic readings are equally effective, the accuracy is determined primarily by the psychics themselves. Online or phone readings can also show you how skilled your psychic is and dispel the myth that psychics only read body language because they can’t see how you react to their suggestions.
MYTH 5 – ‘Psychics prey on vulnerable people.’
Since psychics became prevalent in modern media, there has been widespread suspicion that they prey on vulnerable people. Psychics can provide insight and clarity to life’s most difficult situations by accessing information beyond the five senses. Most people seek the assistance of a psychic because they’ve been unable to find answers through other means. Will you consult a psychic to find out what ingredients are in a product, which new mobile phone to purchase, or how to repair your computer? No, because these answers are easily accessible. You’ll hire the ability of a psychic if you want to communicate with a deceased loved one, gain insight into a relationship, or discover your life’s purpose.
MYTH 6: – ‘All Psychic Readings are Perfect.’
When looking for a psychic reader, look for one who has reviews, testimonials or recommendations. This ensures that your reader has been thoroughly vetted and that they have clients who have benefited from their services. Even the most genuine psychic reader will not be completely accurate.
Psychics can sense and read the energy that exists in the present moment. Even questions about the future are based on the energy that exists right now. As a result, the answer may appear inaccurate if you ask a question about the future, but then make a decision or take action that alters the course of your future. It is critical to ask questions that are not subject to change, or to ask them in a way that does not rely heavily on their outcome.
Psychics receive an incredible amount of information, and they’re only human. Their interpretation of the information they receive is from their point of view, and they may not fully comprehend how it manifests itself in your life. The accuracy of the reading may only reveal itself and make sense to you over time.
The psychic world is tarnished by many myths and objections, primarily from naysayers that lack their own firsthand experience. We’d be delighted to debunk these myths by demonstrating the value and insight a psychic reading can offer to you.
