What comes to mind when you think of the types of psychics you see in movies? A mystical, scarf-wearing woman with a crystal ball hiding in a dark tent lit by only one or two candles?
As humans advance technologically, our approach to interacting with each other naturally evolves with us. Where we once sent letters as a means of communication, this has largely been replaced by the telephone.
But how many people use landlines these days? Almost everyone can send emails, photos, videos and instant messaging with the small, portable phones they carry everywhere.
In this article we will explore some of the modern methods used in receiving a psychic reading and the pros and cons of each method.
Paranormal readings in modern times
So if you don’t have to attend bizarre-looking fairs or track down gypsy caravans to get a psychic reading, where can you get one?
If you have a smartphone or a laptop, you already have access to several options when it comes to paranormal readings.
We’re going to look at apps, phone calls and email, and finally we’ll look at the less common, but certainly the most traditional method: personal psychic readings.
Apps
When it comes to psychic readings, you may have forgotten how advanced some smartphone applications have become. Since apps like Skype, Facebook, WhatsApp and others seem to dominate the industry, you may have never considered receiving a psychic reading through an app. So, what are the pros and cons?
Pros: There are three main advantages to this form of communication. First of all, it’s safe. You don’t have to meet anyone in person, there’s no risk of downloading a virus to your phone (provided you use the Play Store or App Store), and there’s never any need to reveal personal information beyond where you are feels comfortable with.
Secondly, most of these types of apps will also contain other information available to more general groups (e.g. horoscopes or zodiac sign information). Third, you can take the information with you wherever you go.
Cons: Many people, especially older generations, find these forms of communication quite complex. However, this mainly depends on the service you use. There are apps that have a very clear design and are very easy to navigate.
Phone calls
Of course, we all know how to use a phone, and psychic reading using this method is not something new.
Some people will use a service that allows appointments to be made with specific psychics through assistants and operators, while others will be more direct between you and the psychic. So let’s explore the pros and cons.
Pros: In the same way as the app method, receiving psychic readings over the phone keeps you out of harm’s way. You can often call at a time that suits you and since most people have a cell phone, you can take that call on your way to work, while you’re sitting in the park, while you’re visiting family in another country, or even while you are at home. I’m on holiday again.
Where this method differs from the app is the personal approach: it can be reassuring to hear someone talking to you and communicating with you live.
Cons: However, the telephone approach is not without flaws. It’s rare for these types of readings to be free, which usually means giving your credit card information to an anonymous person over the phone.
Although many companies have good reputations, you can never be sure who you can trust. If the company is not reliable, there is no guarantee that you will see your money again.
The advantage of using an app is that any complaints can be filed with the Play/App Store and published publicly.
Emails
Email psychic readings are very popular. You can always have contact with the clairvoyant you consult, even when you are on holiday or on a business trip.
They are very accurate and you can receive information very relevant to your interest, for example when you request a priority quantum measurement.
Pros: Just like using an app or phone calls, receiving psychic readings via email can keep you safe. If you have a smartphone, you can access your measurements wherever you are and archive the measurements that are important to you.
Cons: Sometimes the email you expect ends up in the spam box and if you don’t notice, you may be under the impression that they haven’t sent you anything.
So if you’re waiting for some reading material, it’s best to check your spam box, just in case there’s nothing in your inbox. Or make sure you add the clairvoyant’s email address to your contact list immediately.
Personal
As we reach our final method of receiving psychic readings, we reach the most classic option: personal psychic readings. Nowadays these often take place at someone’s home (yours or the clairvoyant’s) or in an office building.
This approach stands out from the rest in terms of pros and cons.
Pros: Personal contact is a great advantage for a paranormal reading. When you talk to someone on the phone, through an app, or via email, they simply take information and run with it.
They can’t get a feel for your energy and they certainly can’t get a feel for your soul. Readings that take place in person also create a deeper relationship, leading to greater trust and better and more accurate readings.
Cons: Unless you know the person or company well, there is always some risk involved in meeting a stranger. But as long as you don’t take crazy risks, there’s no reason you can’t decide for yourself whether someone can be trusted or not. Some people also find meeting psychics a bit intimidating, which is why they may choose to receive readings over the phone.
