How Does a Psychic Reading Work - A Simple 3-Step Guide

Posted on 29th November, 2025

When you book a psychic reading with me, the session unfolds in three steps. Here is the simple, elegant structure that guides every reading.

  • grounding and intention and settling
  • intuitive communication through psychic, mediumship, and empathic channels
  • an integration phase where insights become practical guidance.

What Happens in a Psychic Reading?

Sessions offer clarity on relationships, purpose, loved ones, and life direction. Each reading session is personalized and recorded.

People often arrive for a psychic reading session with both curiosity and hope.

They want clarity, reassurance, or guidance on life decisions, but they also want to understand how the experience actually works.

Step 1: Grounding & Intention Setting

Before any intuitive work begins, there is a moment of settling. This is where the energy and the conscious shift from the fast pace of daily life into a calm place of connection.

What this includes:

  • A brief conversation about your intention
  • Aligning with Spirit and opening intuitive channels
  • A moment of grounding to create a receptive field

This phase ensures you feel comfortable and understood. It also aligns your energy with the frequency where true insight can come through.

Step 2: Receiving Messages & Insights

This is the heart of the reading. Depending on your intention, I may use:

  • Psychic Insight - information received intuitively about life decisions, relationships, career, health (non-medical), and purpose.
  • Mediumship - connection with loved ones who have passed, offering messages of love, confirmation, and healing.
  • Empathic Perception - feeling the emotional landscape of a situation to reveal more profound truths.
  • Spiritual Guidance: - brings messages from guides, angels, and the Holy Spirit that bring clarity and peace.

This phase is always gentle, loving, and deeply respectful.

Step 3: Integration & Making Insight Practical

A reading is valuable when the insight connects to real life. In the final section of the session, you will helped to:

  • Understand the deeper meaning of the messages
  • Identify next steps
  • Shift limiting patterns
  • Reconnect with your own intuitive knowing

Your reading is digitally recorded and emailed so you can listen again later.

Simple Preparation Tips

Arrive with an open heart. Spirit works best when you're relaxed. Bring a list of questions (written or in mind).

Avoid alcohol or heavy emotional situations right before. Set a quiet intention: "I'm open to what serves my highest good."

What Topics Can You Ask About

  • Life purpose and next steps
  • Career decisions
  • Relationships and compatibility
  • Healthful life direction (non-medical)
  • Passed over loved ones on the other side
  • Spiritual connection and intuition
