Psychic Readings - An Accurate Definition

Many people associate psychic readings with anything that attempts to explore an individual's past, present or future without any other knowledge. This is correct to a degree, but it is important to remember which readings require genuine psychic ability, and which readings are based on learnable skills.

The first step in understanding which methods rely on clairvoyance and which do not is to understand what that clairvoyance actually is.

A reader with clairvoyance, or psychic ability, will use this extra-sensory perception to ascertain knowledge during a reading. This knowledge can be about a person, a group of people, an object, a place or an event. It is this ability which is made use of during Aura reading, Psychometry, and Distant Reading.

In Aura reading, the psychic's ability gives them awareness of a person's aura. They can observe an aura's size, the intensity or brightness of it, the colours which make up the aura, and the shape of the aura. Every factor says something about the individual's character, and by interpreting these signs the reader can learn things about the individual without any other input.

Distant readings are far simpler to explain. When presented with a question about the future, the psychic will use their ability to gain foresight of the outcome.

Psychometry is different to both Aura reading and Distant reading as it does not look to an individual or to the future, but to the past or the present. Utilising an object that is closely linked to the event in someway (for instance, a wedding ring from a husband suspected of cheating, or the favourite hat of a missing person), the psychic can read the residual energy that is imprinted on it from that person, and determine what they were doing at a specific point in the past, or what they are doing now.

Separate to these, there are readings which do not require the reader to possess psychic ability themselves, but instead rely on an outside force for answers. Examples of these are Tarot reading, Palmistry and Astrology, all of which are learnable and rely on the cards, a person's hands, or the movements of astral bodies for answers.

The difference between the two methods is marked, and getting the right reading for what you require is important. Choose wisely.
