How To Be An Effective, Grounded, Practical Psychic

Psychics have a tarnished name because of the reputation that they are scammy fortune tellers who take advantage of desperate or curious people in order to make a profit. These people do exist — they come off as hokey, disingenuous, and prod clients to give up information that will help them seem real and insightful. They often make very vague claims and offer universal advice, all while making it seem like their help is truly unique and special to that particular client. It’s because of this reputation that you’re here today: to learn how to be an effective psychic who comes off as grounded, practical, and real and offers advice that truly helps people improve their lives.

In order to become an effective, grounded, and practical psychic, we must first talk about what we don’t want. Then, we’ll need to identify the traits you need to hone and perfect and follow best practices for opening, conducting, and closing sessions.

Let’s Talk About What We Don’t Want

Clients go to psychics because there are problems they’re facing that no one else seems to be able to help them with. Getting advice, insights, and support from someone who has the ability to pull knowledge intuitively from the Universe is a great way to get over these barriers and start rectifying problems. In other words, clients are not there to be a source of income, to be taken advantage of, or to pump up your ego.

Many terrible psychics, whether they truly have the gift or they don’t, operate with a giant ego. They let their desires, needs, emotions, opinions, and thoughts get in the way of a helpful reading. Instead of serving others, they’re just helping themselves.

Unfortunately, I’ve only seen this trend grow as the once well-intentioned light-seekers of the New Age turned to narcissism and commercialism. Divine rights and practices and helpful spiritual tools have become twisted, appropriated, and emptied of their purpose. In their place is a bunch of people who all claim to connect with their higher selves in their yoga pants at a studio on Saturdays and take selfies with their instructors who shout “Namaste” from the mountain tops. This goes for psychics as well.

Teenage girls across America call themselves Wickens, adorn themselves with Satanic symbols, carry crystals in their backpacks, and claim to connect with spirits over their toy-store brand Ouija boards. To be spiritual and psychic has become an aesthetic, not a sacred and revered role meant to help us connect with the Universe.

If you are serious about helping others with your psychic readings, you need to be serious about how you approach your role as medium. Be honest with yourself: is your ego playing any part in this? Are you pursuing this role for an honorable purpose? Do you have what it takes to completely empty of yourself to make way for genuine and practical messages for your clients?

Good Traits to Have As a Psychic

If you have the ability to connect with beings and messages beyond our human plane and limited knowledge, then it’s likely you feel a very strong calling to bring that connection and those messages to others who desperately need it. The Universe has chosen you to be a messenger, a channel, which means you have an extremely important job. People who don’t take this job seriously enough are one of the reasons why psychics get such a bad rep.

To have psychic abilities is a privilege, and it’s in your power to conduct yourself properly so that you can genuinely help others. Here are some traits that you should have if you want to be the most effective psychic you can be:

Tune into Empathy

Many psychics are empaths, if not a lot of things. Empaths can deeply connect to other people, places, times, and objects on a level that goes beyond normal human ability. This sense that a psychic empath has with these connections can manifest in many different ways. They might have full-body experiences where they have first-hand experience of what the other person feels. Or, they might have physical reactions to other people’s emotions like an upset stomach. It can take years to fully understand this gift, how it manifests, and practice it in a way that can prove helpful to you and others.

Having the gift of empathy can play a huge role in your sessions. Deeply understanding what the other is feeling will help guide you in the way you seek and communicate messages. You might also be able to receive messages from the other side this way and have a better grasp of the message that you need to convey. You might even be able to answer clients’ questions on a more detailed level than other non-empath psychics can.

If you don’t have the gift of empathy on a psychic level, it’s still important to practice it on an emotional level. It’s extremely important for a psychic to be able to stay in touch with the client’s emotions throughout the session. Picking up emotional cues and reactions to specific parts of the reading, for example, can help alert you to the parts of your message that are most valuable, helpful, or personal to the client. With that knowledge, you can try to pry more into that subject to glean more information.

Free Yourself of Ego

At the same time, empaths and psychics can be even more vulnerable than usual to expanding egos. If you know you have a powerful skill that others don’t, it might inflate your sense of self and make you feel extra important. Being able to feel others’ emotions as well can make things feel very personal – you could end up making their emotions and feelings about yourself rather than using the knowledge to help them. It’s very important to not get caught up in yourself and your own feelings. As a practical, grounded psychic, you must stay lowly, humble, and free of self-service.

As a psychic, you are literally a medium between the client and the message. In order to effectively communicate the message in the way it’s intended, you must yourself become nonexistent. You must rid your mind and feelings of any biases, prejudices, influences, tendencies, and quirks. Putting your own spin on the message, taking it personally, applying it to your own situation, and more can all end up hurting the client and ruining the session.

The last thing you want to read in a review is something like, “I really think she has the psychic ability, but she just always ends up making the session about herself!”

Be Observant and Present

Freeing yourself of your ego and tuning into the session deeply also requires being very observant. Instead of worrying about yourself and your life, you need to be as connected as possible to the present. Being concerned with how the message might form over the course of the session, getting distracted, or even trying too hard to connect to the client can cause you to lose focus of the task at hand. You must take every thought, feeling, emotion, image, and gut feeling that comes along during the session for what it is and at the very second it hits you. You will be continuously receiving all kinds of signals and images, and it’s critical that you don’t even blink, so to speak. Any missed element could end up being a huge deal for the success of the reading.

Stay Open-Minded

Humans are natural pattern-lovers. We are always consciously and subconsciously looking for ways to connect things together to form patterns. In these efforts, we also end up casting out things that don’t fit into those patterns. Because of these tendencies, psychics who aren’t careful might end up completely misreading a message and a client.

To be a truly effective psychic, it’s essential that you stay open-minded to every single part of the messages being communicated. To dismiss an image, word, phrase, number, feeling, or anything else that comes to mind during a reading just because it doesn’t fit your current understanding of the narrative is to be entirely irresponsible. You may not be able to make sense of that message, but you have no idea if it has significant meaning to your client.

Stay open-minded about whatever the message might be, don’t count anything out, and make sure to be as open, honest, and communicative with your client as possible. If you don’t understand something, its likely that discussing it with your client can lead to a conversation that helps string the points together and create something truly meaningful.

Be Specific

To be grounded and practical, you must be specific. Remember how we were just complaining about those hokey fortune-tellers who have given us such a bad reputation? They’re not effective because they keep their messages extremely vague and universal, too scared to delve into detail for fear of showing off just how much they don’t know or can’t know to clients. To build trust with your clients and help them fully, you’ll need to stay specific in your readings.

Instead of using phrases like “I sense some trouble in your romantic life,” which could be true of practically everyone, try to dial in on exactly what kind of trouble that is. Maybe you’re getting the sense that both partners are too stubborn, or one won’t communicate, or that there are too many secrets. Of course, you might not be able to tell them exactly what the secret is, but that’s not your job anyway. Your job is to be effective and practical – your client must be able to walk away with a plan to better their life thanks to the insights you’ve provided.

How to Improve Your Sessions

Every psychic is different with their types and levels of abilities as well as their preferred ways of getting ready for sessions. You’ll need to keep working at these things over time to become very good at your job, and you might also find that the methods that once helped you are beginning to lose their effectiveness, so it’s time for a little soul-searching for new methods. Here are some ways to keep improving your sessions.

Clear the Energy In and Around You

Starting off, though, you’ll want to clear out both your energy and the energy of the space. Regardless of whether your session is in-person or over a call, the energy of your environment can play a huge role in how effective your readings are. Before you even think about getting in touch with your client, you’ll need to prepare yourself.

Meditation is the best way to begin. You should already have a daily practice that helps you on your own self-development journey. In addition, you’ll need a meditation practice that prepares you to connect with messages coming in from the client and the Universe. Many psychics find it helpful to have specific spiritual guides that they call upon, as these guides are the beings that help them connect to their psychic abilities and receive messages. Empty yourself of all your worries, doubts, and problems, tuck away your ego, and find complete silence and peace.

Once you start centering yourself, you can begin using a few favorite mantras or chants to clear the space. I personally like to use the “Om Lokaha Somastaha Sukino Bhavantu” mantra 13 times. I’ve also sometimes relied on “Shiva, Shivani, Shiva, Shivani,” repeating the chant 7 times. You might also like burning sage, utilizing cleansing sounds, and calling upon your guides to help make space for your session.

Begin Opening Your Heart, Mind, and Soul to Messages

Psychics who fully prepare for sessions will begin allowing messages to come in before they begin the official session. They’ll want to begin connecting with their clients on a spiritual level, allowing them to make themselves known. You might begin using your empathic abilities to glean insights into their states of mind, emotions, and spiritual barriers. You might also start receiving images that will prove to be important to your reading.

Take time before each session after you’ve cleared your energy and the space to really sit with the session coming your way. Start speaking to your spirit guides and thanking the Universe and the beings that you’ll be connecting with the reading. You can keep these prayers short and sweet, such as “Thank you, Eternal Consciousness, for allowing me to connect with all the light beings, souls, and ancestors that have messages for us today.” Set your intentions to be merely a humble channel in service of your client.

As you prepare, do what feels right to you. Take note of the images and messages coming in, and formulate a practice that will help you stay connected in this space. Maybe you’ll find it helpful to mindlessly play with something in your hands, to shuffle your tarot cards, and roll your crystals. Then, you might choose to begin the reading without the client. You can pull a few Oracle cards from your deck to start pulling meaning about the upcoming session.

Keep Engaging With the Client Throughout the Reading

All the traits we talked about earlier – being empathetic, staying observant and open-minded, freeing ourselves from ego, and being detailed – require that we keep in touch with the client at all times. Of course, there’s a lot going on during a session. It can be difficult to sort through all the feelings and messages, stay connected to our psychic abilities, and keep in touch with our clients all at the same time. This is a skill that is perfected with a lot of practice, commitment, and intention. But it is critical to being an effective psychic.

The key to a practical, grounded reading is to never lose ourselves to flighty, vague, and loose tendencies. We need to keep turning the messages we receive into information that is helpful, on target, and detailed. If we’re seeing repeated themes, we can’t just communicate those and move on. It’s our job to delve deep into those themes and help our clients explore them fully.

Make sure you get to understand your client’s intentions for their readings. Ask them to put forward any specific questions they have that they’re seeking answers to. Get used to being very articulate about the messages you’re channeling. Ensure that you’re always engaging the client with phrases like, “Does that have any significant meaning to you?” and “have you experienced something like what I’m describing?” Keeping the conversation open is what will keep it practical and effective for them.

Close With Practical Guidance

A session can be long and include a wide range of topics and messages. There might be a lot of light beings that were competing to speak that day! Ultimately, your goal with every session should be to wrap up with guidance that the client can use to move forward on their journey. Revisit those questions and intentions they had at the beginning of the session. Ask them if they feel that they’ve received helpful insights. Help them tie together the themes and messages in a way that offers answers and a way forward.

Don’t forget to end your session with gratitude to the client, encouragement, and an offer to further serve them whenever they need you. Make sure to also thank the Universe for allowing you to serve them today!

You are a beautiful Living Being filled with light and love, born from stardust. You are unlimited potential in every direction. With a focus on discipline, virtue, and your own goodness, you can become as expanded and liberated as you desire. Pray for others and the Universe prays for us.

I love to serve others and make the world lovelier. Learn about my services and let me know if I can help you. It’s always an honor to serve kind, honorable, and loving people like you.

LOTS OF BLESSINGS TO YOU!

There is no “Other.” There is only you experiencing yourself.

Celebrity Readings & Coaching

Working With Celebrities & Why They Pay More

Working with celebrities as their life or business coach is exciting and rewarding. The opportunity to help someone with such influence and reach transform their inner world and become a beacon of love and positivity is truly a gift.

The celebrities I’ve had the honor to coach have been remarkable souls. Some dive deeply into the work, allowing themselves to experience powerful inner shifts, leading to a radiant and inspiring rebirth. Their courage to embrace change is breathtaking, and watching them embody a renewed sense of self is a privilege beyond words.

Others, though busy and stretched thin, do what they can, yet may not reach the depths they long for. But I honor their efforts because every step forward matters. Even skimming the surface of self-discovery can plant seeds that will grow in time.

Some of the most well-known individuals I’ve worked with have been relentless in their pursuit of healing and peace, and they’ve dedicated themselves to giving back in extraordinary ways.

A few have transformed into purely philanthropic forces, using their success to uplift others. I’m in awe of their inner work and their incredible impact on the world. They are examples of how profound personal transformation can ripple outward to create immense good.

Some celebs are so broken, misguided, and paranoid that they struggle to believe anyone can love or encourage them without an agenda. Some come from controlling family systems where they play the puppet queen, manipulated by their own relatives. Sadly, they become entangled in personal drama and passive-aggressive theatrics. While I can help almost anyone, this type of person is tough to help because their egos and victim minds are too inflamed.

The most alienated among them often suffer from low self-esteem, a result of their families’ projections, leaving them unable to see their beauty or appreciate working with others. Their paranoia can lead to overreactions, where they break hearts, abandon agreements, and play the victim. At their worst, they can become dangerously aggressive, delusional, and entrenched in narcissism and self-denial, making healing seem almost impossible. It’s tragic.

I’ve seen it all!

The life of a celebrity is often glamorized, but the reality is far more complex. Fame and fortune may seem appealing, but the pressures, challenges, and unique sociopathologies of celebrity life can be overwhelming. That’s where my specialized coaching comes in.

The Celebrity Paradox:

Celebrities face the same struggles as everyone else, but their lives are magnified. Personal and business problems play out in public, relationships are scrutinized, and mistakes are amplified. This constant pressure often leads to emotional turmoil, strained relationships, and mental health issues, while their egos prevent self-reflection, responsibility, and growth.

Surrounded by teams who don’t always have their best interests at heart, they can feel isolated and distrustful, struggling to form genuine connections.

Many are so absorbed in validating themselves that they can’t listen or absorb valuable information. Caught up in their temporary selves and this brief life, they miss out on going deeper.

The Paradox of Celebrity Vulnerability:

Despite their outward confidence, celebrities are often deeply vulnerable. The pressure to maintain an image, fear of failure, and isolation can breed insecurity. This vulnerability, often masked by bravado, drives many celebrities to seek coaching. They crave a safe space to confront fears and connect with their true selves.

The High Cost of Transformation:

Celebrities pay a premium for coaching because they understand personal growth is key to success. It’s about talent, mindset, resilience, and emotional intelligence. Investing in coaching helps them navigate the complexities of fame.

The Importance of Confidentiality:

Confidentiality is crucial. Celebrities need to trust that their struggles remain private. This trust fosters vulnerability and allows them to engage in meaningful self-reflection. Coaches must uphold strict ethical standards to create a safe, supportive environment.

Impact of Coaching on Celebrities:

Effective coaching transforms lives and careers by building self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and resilience. It empowers celebrities to make better decisions, overcome obstacles, and achieve fulfillment beyond fame.

Why Celebrities Pay Higher Coaching Fees:

My coaching services for celebrities are tailored to their unique needs, requiring deeper engagement and sensitivity. Here’s why my services come at a premium:

  • Intense Pressure: Celebrities face constant scrutiny. My coaching helps them develop resilience to manage this stress.
  • Complex Relationships: Fame strains relationships. My coaching helps celebrities navigate these dynamics and build healthier connections.
  • Unique Challenges: Celebrities deal with issues like stalkers and paparazzi. I offer strategies for handling these pressures.
  • High Stakes: With much on the line, my coaching guides celebrities in making sound decisions and avoiding career-damaging mistakes.
  • Intrusive Security: Security measures can create paranoia and stress. I help celebrities set boundaries and manage these issues.
  • Unrealistic Expectations: Some celebrities struggle with entitlement and broken agreements. My coaching helps them take responsibility and develop healthier behavior patterns.

Ultimately, my coaching addresses their complex lives, helping them find growth and balance.

One deeply troubled celebrity client couldn’t handle introspection or feedback. She was too consumed with hating her sisters, neglecting her marriage, constantly hiring and firing people, and failing to pay a young pregnant woman she agreed to hire—all while presenting herself as a holy, mystical figure.

Her ego became so entangled in this fabricated new-age persona that she lost touch with reality and couldn’t discern her real friends. She behaved like a runaway teenager, rigid in her identity and resistant to healing. Reaching the core of this broken identity would take enormous work. It broke my heart, and I prayed for her daily, but I took it as a learning experience. I truly hope she finds healing, self-love, and integrity.

As you can imagine, I no longer take on these types of clients—they’re too damaging and simply not worth it. I focus on those genuinely ready for growth, transformation, and self-awareness. My role as a coach is to guide individuals toward deeper self-reflection and healing, helping them shed illusions and embrace their authentic selves. I offer a compassionate, grounded approach that nurtures real change, leading to lives of clarity, purpose, and integrity.

How I Can Help:

I offer a tailored coaching program that dives deep into celebrities’ unique challenges, addressing more than just fame and fortune. My approach is holistic and practical, focusing on:

  • Ego Release & Self-Awareness: I help celebrities stay grounded by recognizing and releasing ego-driven patterns, fostering genuine self-awareness, and cultivating more authentic relationships beyond the pressures of fame.
  • Emotional Mastery & Resilience: I provide powerful tools to navigate emotional highs and lows, enabling celebrities to build inner strength, maintain balance, and cultivate lasting peace amid the chaos.
  • Strategic Decision-Making: In high-stakes environments, I help celebrities sharpen their decision-making skills, ensuring they make thoughtful, values-aligned choices that protect their personal and professional lives.
  • Empowered Relationships: I guide celebrities in establishing clear boundaries, enhancing communication, and navigating complex relationships with confidence, integrity, and authenticity.
  • Deep Spiritual Connection: I help celebrities bridge the gap between external success and internal fulfillment, guiding them toward self-discovery, spiritual depth, and a more meaningful existence.

While self-reflection can feel uncomfortable or even intimidating, I approach every client with deep compassion, understanding, and unwavering commitment. I’ve witnessed the incredible transformation of a celebrity who once struggled with overwhelming jealousy and resentment. Together, we gently confronted her shadow side, and through loving guidance and spiritual practices, she blossomed into a more empowered, self-aware individual. Her courage and dedication allowed her to step into her truth, and today, her integrity and contributions are truly remarkable.

My role isn’t to change who you are, but to lovingly help you rediscover the brilliance already within you, aligning your actions and gifts with the deepest parts of your heart and soul.

If you’re ready to embrace this journey of self-discovery and transformation, I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way. With the right support, you can not only thrive in the spotlight but live a life that resonates with the fullness of who you truly are.
