Psychic readings

[zianuray]

I've had readings done several times, usually by strangers, once by an acquaintance (someone I'd met a time or two, we recognized each other "on the street" but hadn't _talked_).

The most recent one was the least believable.

My mother had nothing to do with my red bicycle, I don't know why she'd be showing it to anyone as a connection with me.

My grandmother would not have used the phrasing "of an ample lap." That's just so NOT her.

MAYbe they have, since passing over, found out that my chosen path is not a horror afer all....

Mother had cats the last few years, even housecats (living on a working farm, you can't avoid cats!), so why would she be averse to _my_ little b/w domestic shorthairs who were "ankling" her according to this person?

(Though I am glad to hear that The Varmint and Bandita de Corazon are getting along well.)

EEhhhh, whatever.

What got to me about the first three readings I ever got was that as far as I know, the readers were not known to each other, all readings were on an impulse (i.e., not planned, no appointment), and not even in the same county, but ++there was overlapping information and what did not overlap did not contradict anything the others had said.++

Also, most of what was said the first three times I had either figured out on my own and this just reinforced it, or it brought back bits of dreams and fit them together.

Coincidence? People skilled at cold-reading a mark? Possible. I took care to keep a poker-face as well as I could, but I'm sure there were clues that I didn't know about to control. I also tried to not give verbal clues/cues.

The one that most impressed me had me shuffle a deck of tarot cards while thinking of the questions, then NOT ASK. He read "my aura" and and "Akashic Recors" or some such, according to him, when I mentioned at the end that he had hardly even LOOKED at the cards. Also had his eyes closed a good percentage of the time. "If, at the end of the reading, I didn't cover something, let me know and I'll try for it" he said.
He covered the three points I'd had, and filled in a few other things as well.

Sometime I want to work with a reader from behind a screen, or in a separate room with an intercom locked on one-way.

Your thoughts?

i've done the readings over the phone once. that person was baiting me and way off the mark. so i hung up on her.

I don't think I wa "baiting" anyone....I just wasn't giving information they could use to hang stuff on. I _can_ do a fake reading that will scare someone's socks off, so I try to make sure I'm not being "taken." Same way, IF someone asks for a reading and they WANT it, I don't cheat--I tell them what I get from the cards, and that's it.

i don't mean that i was baiting her and trying to get her to give me false info, she was baiting me and trying to get me to answer questions for her.
things like, you are married...right? etc...
like i said, this person was way off mark and i hung up on her. i called her service.

right. this gal just didn't have it going on for my family. she was trying so hard i felt sorry for her, actually. i don't think she was trying to cheat, just maybe had her wires crossed.

it could have been that she was having a bad day or maybe even second guessing herself. i tend to do that a lot.
