The pandemic helped us realize we need to proactively take care care of ourselves — but, not just our physical bodies. Our mental and spiritual health are crucial components of our overall well-being.

If we want to cope with the stressors of modern-day life, much less from a global pandemic, we need to be able to strengthen our mental and emotional resilience.

More and more people looked to alternative therapies to help guide them through their anxiety, depression, relationship and work challenges, and family dynamics.

However, the increased need for support far outpaced availability of traditional therapists.

Psychic insight, intuitive coaching, and spiritual mentorship successfully filled in the gaps — much to the surprise of those who would not have considered these modalities previously.

Although millions of people seek the advice of psychics each year, it can be difficult to find someone you trust. Because there are no standards, a psychic’s competency can vary widely so it’s important to do your due diligence.

Here are some tips on how to find a good psychic whose work you will not only trust, but truly value:

What is a psychic?

A psychic is a person who uses extrasensory perception (ESP) to learn information not available through the common five senses. We all have psychic abilities, but society discourages us from focusing on them in favor of more traditional thinking skills.

A professional psychic would likely have trained under a mentor and studied voraciously. He or she would also have had extensive experience in the intuitive arts.

Why is it important to work with a psychic you trust?

If you are going to a psychic purely for entertainment, then it doesn’t matter which one you choose. But if you want helpful information for your life, it is important to work with someone qualified and who specializes in your particular needs.

When you trust your psychic, you will experience:

• Better Connection

When you feel more relaxed, the channel of communication between you and your psychic will flow more easily.

• Meaningful Insight

Your psychic will be more open to giving you deeper and insightful information.

• Greater Satisfaction

You'll get to enjoy the awe and wonder of being seen on the soul level. This experience alone can be incredibly life affirming.

What kinds of psychics are there?

A psychic does not read minds. Instead, a psychic receives impressions through a variety of channels. You can think of a psychic reading is as a soul-to-soul communication.

Psychics have existed since the beginning of mankind because we are all psychic. However, the term is a broad one and often used incorrectly. It's best to choose a psychic who offers the services that will best match your needs.

• Medium

Mediums specialize in communicating with souls who no longer have a physical body. They are often consulted by people who wish to make contact with a deceased loved one.

• Divination

Divination is the art of using tools to tune into psychic information. Tarot cards, palms, crystals, and other items are used to help diviners tune into information from you and the universe.

• Clairvoyant

Clairvoyance is one of several extrasensory perceptions, also known as clear “seeing”. Other claires include clairaudience (the ability to hear), clairsentience (to feel), and claircognizance (to know).

A clairvoyant psychic will use their ability to see things the human eye cannot. They will then share this information to help you decide your best path through challenges and opportunities for growth in your personal life, career, or spiritual path.

A clairvoyant can also read your aura and past lives.

• Animal Communicators

Some psychics specialize in animal communication. These psychics are often referred to as “pet psychics”, but their abilities can transfer to farm animals and other wildlife.

How to Find the Right Psychic For You

It is worthwhile to take the time to develop a relationship with a good psychic. Here are some ways to find the right psychic for your needs:

• Ask Around

The best way to find a good psychic is to ask your friends or family. Chances are, someone in your network can recommend a psychic they know and respect.

• Research Online

Since a good psychic can read your soul’s energy without you being in their same physical location, your options for finding someone trustworthy are greatly expanded.

You can research a psychic's quality and integrity by looking at his or her training and experience. Find how they share their knowledge via blogs, articles, newsletters, and podcasts. Notice if you can feel the level of passion they bring to their work. Check references.

• Be Persistent

One of the best ways to find a good psychic is to be persistent and keep looking until you find someone who resonates with you.

It may seem like a daunting task, but it’s worth the extra effort to find someone you like and trust.

Trust Your Own Intuition

If you are interested in getting a psychic reading, you may already be aware of your intuitive gifts. You probably even received a “psychic hit” to reach out for a reading in the first place. Just the fact that you are listening to this message from your higher self is a good sign.

Once you have found some good candidates for psychics, the last step is to trust your instincts. Listen to your own intuition!
