PSYCHIC READINGS

Are given by someone (called a psychic) who is able to receive information through the development of expanded awareness, heightened perception and intuition. These spiritual abilities include clairvoyance (seeing), clairsentience (feeling), clairaudience (hearing), and mental telepathy (thought communication).

Psychics may, in accordance with universal and individual permission granted, and spiritual law, access levels of information that may be of practical and spiritual guidance for the recipient. This would possibly relate to one’s occupation or relationship concerns, and provide spiritual insight and understanding of an individual’s life path, and karmic issues.

Psychic readings may tell you about your past lives and what bearing they may have on the present. They can clarify the present and relate what might happen in the future. Remember, every psychic can only see the potential, as each and every one of us has free will at any given moment, to alter our reality anytime. Individual psychics reflect their own individual style and personality, which invariably are influenced by their own karmic path, training and spiritual beliefs.

Readings can be done in person, in a group, or over the phone. In the United Kingdom there is the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain, with affiliated centers all over the country, and similarly, there is such an organization in the United States of America.
