The Day Before
- Sum up, in a single line, what you hope the reading gives you.
- Note your key question plus a second one in reserve.
- Shortlist two psychics with strong recent reviews in your topic.
- Set a budget and a time limit.
Right Before
- Find a quiet, private space.
- Have your question ready to paste or say.
- Keep a notebook nearby.
- Take a few slow breaths and clear your mind.
During
- Share a sentence of context — not your whole story.
- Let the psychic finish before asking follow-ups.
- Say so kindly when an impression doesn't fit.
- Note names, cards and dates mentioned.
Afterwards
Give the reading a few days. Reread notes, reflect on what stood out and resist booking another reading on the same question immediately.
Mindset
Go in curious and open rather than demanding a specific answer. The best readings often reframe your question in a helpful way.
A Prep Template
Context (one sentence): 'I've been offered a job in another state.'
Main question: 'What do I need to know before deciding?'
Backup question: 'What would help me feel confident?'
Time limit: 15 minutes.
Budget: $15.
