I’ll admit there have been few times in my life where I’ve felt LOST. What I mean by LOST: feeling like there are too many things coming at me, seemingly impossible to decipher which next path to take; or even what each path looks like to make the choice on what to do next.
Those are the times where I’ve sought outside help. And it’s made all the difference.
There are many different approaches. I’m a huge advocate for employer assistance programs. They’re an easy avenue to short term support for a variety of issues you might be facing. And when they’re offered as a part of your benefits, it makes complete sense to make use of it a part of your personal health routine.
But this post is actually about the times I’ve been to a Psychic.
Different strokes for different folks as they say.
I’ll start by saying that I’ve only been to a Psychic twice in my life. Technically 3 times, but one was a group session that didn’t allow me to feel a connection and get in the zone.
One time was with my friend, who took me to the Russian Tea Room in Edmonton. She didn’t know it at the time, but I was seriously considering starting my own business.
Another time was even more impactful for me. Terri lived in Fort Saskatchewan and conducted readings out of her home. I was going through a difficult time in my life, and since a friend of mine was heading out to see her, I tagged along.
The Experience
What do you envision when you think Psychic? for me, it’s the neon sign hanging in a city street window.
The Russian Tea Room in Edmonton was different than I imagined – more of a social set up where you can order food, sit and relax with some tea (or in my case a glass of wine) and when it’s your turn, you go and sit with your Psychic of choice.
With Terri it was all business. No tea, no wine, just her cards, and my energy.
I don’t know what it is about sitting across from a Psychic in a dimly lit room, but I’m down for it. It’s a bit uncomfortable, but what do you have to lose?
They talk about Psychics hearing a different frequency, having the gift of intuitiveness. They can just feel the energy from you, which we often have a hard time doing on our own.
Of course for every good Psychic, there can be Practitioners that aren’t in it for your best interests. Which is why researching, reading reviews and word of mouth is so critical.
What Should You Expect?
Having a reading can help you understand what’s happening in your current life position, gain better insight into potential upcoming challenges or ways you are blocking your own progress, and help guide you toward making choices that can lead to greater accomplishment and fulfillment.
In other words:
Psychic’s claim to use extrasensory perception (ESP) to identify information hidden from the normal senses, which can be defined as telepathy (the supposed communication of thoughts or ideas by means other than the known senses) or clairvoyance (the supposed faculty of perceiving things or events in the future or beyond normal sensory contact)

The sheer force of intuitiveness should make your Psychic take charge of the session. They should be doing most of the explaining as they receive specific insights. My suggestion is to sit back, listen and ride the journey.
Both times I didn’t go with specific questions. I felt that if they could truly read me, they would read my energy and tell me what was necessary for me to know.
Ask to record it. I know that there was no way I could remember everything that was said, so it was nice to have the opportunity to listen back to the experience when needed.
Oh yeah, and what about all that ‘seeing your future stuff’? It’s more about assessing the situation you’re currently in, allowing you to see the choices you may have and how they might affect you in the future. A reading might help give you a little hope and confidence that there are good things coming your way, regardless of the choice you make.
What if they tell you something you don’t want to hear?
My advice is review it and ask if it serves you. Remember – it’s only knowledge. You have the power to act on it or not. The choice is ultimately yours.
Psychics are not there to tell you the end of your story. If you go in understanding that, with an open mind, it could become a really amazing experience.
So What Happened?
The Psychic at the Russian Tea Room spread out the tarot cards, and asked me to pick. He asked if there were any specific questions I had. I said no.
During our session, he confirmed to me that I was a natural entrepreneur and that I should explore that in my life.
Terri told me that there were good things for me, regardless of which path I chose. Both paths involved work, but both paths would be successful.
She saw a big move in my future – like different Province move, she said.
Well, what do you know?
Why Do I Consider This A Life Lesson?
It was the affirmation I wanted and needed. And I was all for trying out new methods to hear it.
My philosophy is, if you don’t know what to do, try something new. I said yes to something I had never done before and it provided me with confidence. Both sessions helped affirm the life decisions I was faced with at the time.
Only YOU can make decisions that are best for YOU. But it’s our responsibility to gather the information we need from the resources available to us.
What We Seek Is What We Know.
I chose to use those sessions and their insight to help me figure out where I should focus my energy.
It was a way to adjust my viewpoint. It wasn’t that they told me something I didn’t already know. I just needed the kick in the pants to see it.
Do you believe in psychic abilities? Have you gone to a Psychic? I’d love to hear your stories and maybe the insights that were manifested for you during your session!
