Has anyone been to a psychic before?

I went to while I was pregnant with my DS. She predicted the date I would go into labour, which was nowhere near my due date.

Of course, she also predicted a hundred other things that never came true but I think they count on you remembering that one lucky guess amidst all the other crap.

My MIL went to Sylvia Brown (in the 80s) and had a tape of the reading. She would listen to it every once in awhile, most of what she said was true.

I had my tea leaves and palm read at a Halloween party once. She was 80% accurate with what she said. Funny she said she saw this big W in my life..and I tried to think it was wrong and she meant an M..because at that time I was dating my ex hubby and was thinking it was this other guy I loved or was my last name..low and behold I ended up marrying my current husband (for 26 yrs) and his last name starts with a W and he was ands still is a big impact in my life. Also told me I would have twin boy/girl..but not twins..just a boy and a girl.

Can psychics be known as those who can work with energy? If so then many of them are in the groups I participate on fb.
But just because one says they are psychic doesn't mean they have tapped into that ability. But I'm good at feeling if someone is tapping in or just faking it, cause I will feel more tapped into reading energy when I'm around those who can.
One of my friends who is clairvoyant does remote healings on the radio. So an experience I will share is when one of my friends called her about her arthritic and osteo knee and she was spot on with the emotional side to the cause. It had to do with her brother and her father and when she finished her 5 minute healing on her ( scraped the arthritis off and built back the bone) she told me she was able to squat when she couldn't before.
I love listening to her radio shows. I even called in once for a reading and she ended up balancing my vitamins, water, and hormones, some chakra work, grounding ( feeling more connected to the physical world ) and sheilding ( blocking your energy from those you don't choose to absorb) I posted a before and after photo of me on her page when I thanked her for the healing because you could tell a big difference.
My favorite parts are when she's doing a remote healing for someone and she tells them to do something like to put their finger on the painful spot of their knee and she says "no the other knee" or when she was teaching someone to do sheilding, she said to raise her hands up like she was grabbing onto a garage door and to slam it down. ( crazy I know but as someone who absorbs everyone's emotions it is very effective and much of it has to do with intention )
And so the person said "ok I did it"
and the clairvoyant said "no you have to do it harder than that" , or the time she was on the phone with someone who was at work and one of her coworkers was talking on the phone next to her. The clairvoyant said that his talking was hard to tune out and asked her if she could cup the phone with her hand. So she did and said that she was and the clairvoyant said "yeah but you are still looking at him" ... If she was a fake that would have been pretty risky things to "predict" especially the last one.
The girl at work could have easily said that she wasn't.
But she really was
I'm not sure if my clairvoyant friend is known as "psychic" though. She can do mediumship, remote connection/healings, telepathy, multi-dimension stuff ( yeah it gets way out there but I think it's so cool) , talk to one's spirit guides, higher self, and subconscious and relay their messages to that person. So I'm not sure if any of that falls under "psychic".
But on her last radio show she told someone that their higher self wanted to send them the message that was something like: "if you don't release this anger you have, then 5 years from now you are going to ask yourself why you waisted the last 5 years worrying about it"
Now to us we don't know what that exactly means but she sure did

So yeah I believe that there is an energy of "knowing" that others can tap into and share it with others, but you just have to be careful on who to trust with this. That's why I listen to my resonation whenever I get a reading,
I've tapped into some clairaudence before but it only happens when I'm on the verge of falling asleep but still alert.
I actually believe we all have the ability to tap into this energy of intuition it's just many of us don't believe in it.

My brother had a phone reading with Sylvia Browne's son, probably 10 years ago. Most of what he was told did, in fact, come to pass.

I had a phone reading with a psychic, too. It was less accurate but some of it was quite unique and did occur for me.

I personally know a lot of psychics. The key is finding a reputable one (not the $10 reading neon sign lady)...but one who has good word of mouth reviews. I have many family members who have passed and I find it very comforting and healing to "hear" from them. Future stuff is cool to hear about also but it's often more about life path stuff than about how many grandchidren I might have.
On the old board, I did angel card readings. I might start again!

The way I understand it is for energy readers to be able to read energy have to open their own energy up.
Therefore in order for them to keep from being overwhelmed with all the energy they are reading (some even allow themselves to feel someone too ) they sheild themselves.
The energy readers/healers I know deal with all sorts of people with the so called bad juju in order to cleanse them from it.

I'm feeling that the reason the psychic didn't read you was because she felt you weren't ready. Unless you are open to someone talking about multidimensional and other out there stuff, then I may be wrong.
I just felt that it wasn't about bad juju cause that tensed me up so I came to the first alternative that released my tension. Of course it depends on what type of psychic it was ( whether they had multi-dimensional awareness or not)

I did once. She predicted stuff that didn't come true, but she talked about past things that were true. She said I had my grandmas chair. And descirbed it. No one knows about this chair, it is under a shelf in my basement. And she talked about animals I had growing up. I am not one to share my past, so it was weird having someone who knew.

I'm not a fan of the future prediction stuff cause I believe that creates expectations that can effect the unfolding of the moments ahead. Bad news can cause dread that will effect the process of the moment unfolding and good need can cause eagerness that will effect the process of the moment unfolding. One energy will slow it down, the other will speed it up. But in order to be present I believe you need to let go of the control of it's speed and happenings.
And I believe being present is the key to peace.

The future stuff that I am into is like when someone suggests the person they are reading to start focusing on their life path "mission" cause they felt the person was feeling bored at what they were doing for a living at the time cause that person was feeling like their job they are doing wasn't meant to be. ( or at least not as long as they were doing it for )

I had my tea leaves read when I was 18 or 19. The only thing I remember from that is I was told I would have twins one day. Didn't happen.

A couple of years after that a girlfriend and I saw someone that gave you a choice of 2 from Tarot cards, aura, personal item or palm reading. I choose the Tarot cards and aura and it was eerily accurate with some things. He was really specific including the name, profession (gemologist) and timeframe I would meet my DH. The timeline didn't pan out, but the name is accurate and at the time of the reading DH was working in a closely related business. I kept a cassette recording of the reading for a few decades & many moves but never listened to it again.

I've never wanted to have another reading done.

I love this thread!
I am way into conscious expansion stuff.
Anyway some were talking about life paths and I wanted to share with you a numerology exploration activity you can do for kicks to see if your birthday adds up to a number of life path you can relate to .

All you do is add up your month number , day, and year.
So for example today is 9-22-2015 so that would be:

9+22+2015 = 2046

Next step is you condense it till it is a 2 digit number that the same number ( like 11,22,33...etc ) or a single digit number.

So 2046 would be 2+0+4+6 is 12
Then you condense it again which would be 1 + 2 = 3
So the lifepath is 3.
(Which is actually my life path )
Then you google life path 3 and read the interpretations that come up.

I used to see a little old British lady that read tea leaves, and a regular deck of playing cards. She was always very accurate. The first time I saw her she knew I had married my HS sweetheart, and had 6 miscarriages. She told me the next time I got pregnant it would be a boy, and I would have a girl 4 years later. I never had another miscarriage. I got pregnant with DS about 3 months later, and DD was born 4 years and 25 days after DS. We had planned on DS being an only child, and DD was a total wonderful oops. I used to see her once a year. She had a 3+ month waiting list for appointments.

One time, I took one of my BFFs to see her. She asked him if he was a famous singer, because she saw people listening to him on the radio, and him being around a lot famous singers. He was a DJ and the programming director of our hard rock radio station. She was in her early 80's with no children or grandchildren, and he sounded nothing like his on air persona in person. The appointment was in my name. There was no way she knew who he was. She wasn't one to hold back (she worked out of her home), and told him he would not live a long life. He was a 25 year vegan, teetotaler, fitness buff, and died of a heart attack 3 months before he turned 50. She passed shorty after he did. I've never been to anyone else.

One of the things that she told me was , and she did this with great difficulty, that I would only have two living children , a boy and a girl.
Son came so easy, but daughter not so much. I had a couple of misses before her and then a couple of more after.
