Psychic readings have been around for years, and psychics have been divining since ancient times. This often intrigues people, but there are many skeptics. People who believe in psychics desire ethics to be involved, and when ethics aren’t, this is often what causes people not to believe.
What is a Psychic Reading?
A psychic reading is when a person who is thought to have intuition or ESP (extrasensory perception) is able to access information that cannot be seen in the physical world. This person can pick up the feelings and thoughts of someone else, read minds, or bring healing to energies. There are many different kinds of psychics.
Tools Used in Psychic Readings:
- Crystal balls
- Tarot cards
- Oracle cards
- More
Many psychics are able to do readings, and some will use palmistry, which is palm reading, while others will use their own natural gifts, such as their clairvoyant gifts. It is important thought that a person realizes that a psychic reading is not scientific, and this causes there to be many skeptics. Some skeptics believe that psychic readings aren’t accurate because they use predictions that are obvious, or they use statements that are suggestive or vague. Though there are skeptics, other people hope that they can get the guidance they need when times are hard for them.
Ethics and Psychic Readings
One of the problems with psychics is ethics. Those who follow ethics, are honest, and have integrity are sometimes looked down upon because of the ones who don’t follow ethics. When you are a psychic, and you are giving guidance or information to someone, and you are showing love and compassion to a client, then you are following ethical behaviors that all psychics need. Psychics should be trusted by their clients.
Psychics also need to ensure they protect their clients’ privacy. They should never try to scare them, use fear tactics, or do anything for financial gain. Following a code of ethics is necessary to prevent psychic work from being abused.
Understanding Skepticism
It can be easy to be skeptical of a psychic reading because of the science behind it. Some believe that psychics always conduct cold readings, which means that they make accurate predictions based on the cues they receive from the client or on what is happening in the world around them.
This can cause psychics to look fraudulent and to be seen in a suspicious manner. Skeptics don’t believe that you should trust someone who isn’t able to prove their powers scientifically, and they feel that people should use critical thinking and questions when evaluating if their psychic reading is true or not.
Believing with Skepticism
It is important to be skeptical to protect yourself from being exploited, but if you are going to try a psychic reading, you need to go in with an open heart and an open mind. Look at yourself, meditate, and see if the reading aligns with your beliefs and what is going on in your life.
Believing in psychics can cause people to believe in readings and feel that they are more accurate than objective readings. This can often be called a placebo effect. It shows us that how a person sees things, believes, and interacts with the world around them will decide whether they believe in psychic gifts or not.
Using Ethics in Psychic Readings
Here are some ways that you can protect yourself from getting false readings:
-
Do Your Research
The first thing you should do is make sure that you are choosing a psychic with good customer reviews and testimonials. Before choosing a psychic, find a valid and well-known site.
-
Listen to Your Gut
Next, listen to your gut and make sure that if you choose a psychic, you feel a connection with them.
-
Have Boundaries
Don’t give away personal information and if you have limits or expectations, tell your psychic and make sure that they respect your boundaries.
-
Accountability
A real psychic wants to be accountable for what they say to you, and they are open to what they can and cannot do. If a psychic tells you that they have unlimited powers and they know or can do everything and anything, they are probably fake.
-
Be Skeptical
Even if you believe and you have an open mind, be skeptical of who you choose to do your reading. Make sure that you find a psychic that is able to give you answers that guide you. If the psychic is using vague statements or words, don’t believe that they are using their gifts but that they are giving you a cold reading.
How to Spot a Fake Psychic
Here are some tips to avoid hiring a fake psychic:
- Look at the client reviews.
- Even if a review is negative, it doesn’t mean a psychic is fake.
- Use a website that is known.
- Look at the platform of the website.
- Avoid vague readings or ambiguous statements.
- Look at the psychics profile, if it isn’t well written it is probably a scam.
- They focus on everything that they can do and claim to be able to use any gift.
- They ask for more than just basic information, such as your name or your date of birth.
- They use fear tactics to scare you to spend more money.
- They demand extra money to remove curses.
- They don’t offer a refund for a bad reading.
- They have no respect or are rude.
