Entering a psychic reading with an open mind and heart is crucial for receiving accurate information and guidance. However, approaching these sessions with a closed-off mindset can significantly affect the reading’s effectiveness. So, what happens when you are not fully open during a psychic reading?
Understanding Closed-Off Mindsets
People may come to psychic readings with a closed-off mindset for various reasons:
Skepticism: Some people may approach psychic readings with doubts about the legitimacy of psychic abilities or the effectiveness of the process itself. This skepticism can create a mental barrier that blocks the flow of energy and information between the client and the psychic.
Fear of Vulnerability: Opening up to a psychic requires sharing personal thoughts, emotions, and experiences. For some, this level of vulnerability can be intimidating or uncomfortable. The fear of being judged or misunderstood can lead to a guarded attitude, hindering the psychic’s ability to connect deeply and accurately read your energy.
Past Negative Experiences: Previous encounters with psychics that did not meet expectations or left the client feeling disappointed can create hesitancy or reluctance to fully engage in a new reading. Lingering doubts or skepticism from past experiences may prevent you from approaching the reading with an open mind.
Desire for Control: A lot of people prefer to maintain control over their lives and decisions. The idea of someone else offering insights or guidance can challenge this sense of control, leading to resistance or skepticism during the reading.
External Influences: Opinions and beliefs from friends, family, or societal norms about psychics and readings, can influence your mindset and approach. Negative comments or skepticism from others can plant seeds of doubt or hesitation, affecting your receptivity during the reading. Some clients feel pressured to act a certain way based on what their family or friends have said — which makes it hard for them to fully relax and be open during the session.
Dismissive or Testing Clients: I have had a few clients come into a reading acting dismissive and testing me or challenging me, which has made it very difficult for me to connect with them properly. This attitude can create a defensive atmosphere, making it hard for genuine and accurate information to emerge.
Impacts of Being Closed Off
Limited Information Exchange: Psychic readings rely on a reciprocal exchange of energy and information. When you approach the reading with a closed-off mindset, you create a barrier that restricts this flow of information. As a result, the psychic may receive limited information or insights, making it challenging to provide detailed or accurate guidance.
Incomplete Guidance: Psychic readings aim to provide holistic insights into various aspects of your life, such as relationships, career decisions, and personal growth. A closed-off mindset may prevent you from fully engaging with the reading’s potential benefits. This lack of openness can result in incomplete guidance and you may leave the reading feeling disappointed.
Blocking Important Messages: Information flows naturally in response to your energy and questions. When you are closed off, you might unintentionally block or dismiss important messages or insights that could provide significant guidance or clarity. This resistance can disrupt the flow of information, causing the psychic to pivot to other topics where the connection feels stronger, potentially leaving crucial insights unexplored.
Opening Up to the Experience
While it’s natural to approach psychic readings with caution or skepticism, maintaining an open and receptive mindset enhances the quality and effectiveness of the experience. Here are practical tips for opening up during a psychic reading:
Set Clear Intentions: Before the reading, take a moment to clarify your intentions and what you hope to gain from the session. Whether it’s seeking clarity on specific questions or gaining insight into certain areas of your life, setting clear intentions helps guide the reading.
Relax and Trust: Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing to calm your mind and body before the reading. Trust in the process and allow yourself to be open to receiving insights and guidance from the psychic.
Be Honest and Transparent: During the reading, be open and transparent with the psychic about your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Sharing relevant information helps build trust and enables the psychic to provide more accurate and meaningful guidance.
Release Expectations: Let go of any preconceived notions or expectations about how the reading should unfold. Stay open to unexpected insights and perspectives that may arise during the session. Fully embracing the session, allows the psychic to work with your energy and provide the most relevant guidance.
Understand the Psychic’s Methods: Every psychic works differently, and it’s important to respect their unique approach. Some may use tarot cards, others may rely on intuitive impressions, some may prefer to work with specific questions and intentions. Understanding and being open to their style can enhance the connection and the overall effectiveness of the reading. Most psychics include their psychic reading style on their website.
Conclusion
A psychic reading is a collaborative process that thrives on openness, trust, and mutual respect between you and the psychic. Being closed off can hinder this process, limiting the depth of insights and guidance available to you. By approaching readings with receptivity and a willingness to engage, you maximise the potential benefits and gain valuable clarity and understanding to navigate life’s challenges effectively.
Embracing the experience with an open heart and mind enriches the psychic reading, offering a fulfilling journey of self-discovery, healing, and guidance.
