Common questions about psychic readings

I’ve answered some questions here about what a psychic is and what we do, how a psychic reading works, and many other things that might be interesting for you.

If you have any other questions, I’d love to hear them! Leave a comment below or email me info@tarotwaze.com 

Getting
Started

What is a psychic?

Excellent question! 

Put simply, a psychic is someone who is highly sensitive to the energies around us. This sensitivity allows a psychic to receive and interpret messages that may be hidden from others.

Each psychic has their own abilities and style:

  • Some psychics hear voices or sounds. This ability is called “clairaudience”.

  • Some see visions or patterns or images (“clairvoyance”).

  • Some receive knowledge or sudden understandings (“clairsentience”).

  • Some are able to see your past reincarnations.

A good psychic should always use these abilities for your best interests. That means giving you advice and knowledge that can help you along your path.

 

 


What is a medium?

A medium is a person with the ability to communicate with souls of people who have died. Sometimes these souls have messages for those who remain here in this life.

 I have this ability. Souls are able to use me as a channel, a medium, to deliver messages. Note that I will not disturb a soul by calling him or her to appear. I am just open to channeling a soul’s presence if that soul chooses to come.

 This is a widely-accepted practice, though not all mediums follow it. If you are looking for a ‘guaranteed’ encounter with a passed loved one, you need to find another psychic to provide you that service.

When should I get a psychic reading?

Often, people seek help from a psychic when they are experiencing confusion, despair and feeling lost and helpless. But you don’t have to wait until things feel out of control!

A psychic can help you gain insight into important areas in your life:

  • Relationships (in all senses – family, romantic, business, friendships)

  • Career

  • Education

  • A new move

  • Buying property or investments

It’s not a good idea to get multiple readings on the same subject. This confuses the energy surrounding a person. You will just waste time and energy chasing the answer you want to hear, rather than using that energy to help yourself grow.

If new things come up in your life, then it is fine to seek help.

In general, I advise clients to have readings on the same subject not more than every two months. That’s because in order to make the best use of our sessions, you will need to go and spend some time considering the information and working hard on it.

Is it possible to get a good reading via computer? Don’t I need to be face to face?

You can absolutely get a good psychic reading through the phone, via video call or even by email. It does not require a face-to-face meeting. I regularly do readings and sessions with clients from all over the world.

The important thing is connection. If you are open to the experience, then it does not matter where you are. By the same token, if you are closed up then it does not matter if the person is right there in front of you.

 In order to help me connect with clients, I often ask for a recent photo and your birth date. This is not essential, but does help. Please note that all photos and birth dates will be deleted once the reading is complete.

How do I prepare for my reading?

Think about the areas of your life that you want to discuss. It can be a specific question, or a more general topic. 

 Before the reading, take some time to relax. Take a few deep breaths. Maybe listen to some music you enjoy or go outside for some fresh air.

 Have a glass of water beside you.

 You are welcome to take notes. In a full session, there is time for a lot of insights and discovery, so notes can help you not to forget.

What is healing?

Every mental and physical condition has its roots in past events. These may have occurred in this life or in previous lives. Think of them as wounds that have been patched over but never properly healed. You may not even be aware of them. However, they are there, and they shape our behaviour and emotions in ways that are often hidden from us. All these behaviours are the result of our past experiences: self-destructive behaviour, being in unhealthy relationships, feeling trapped by guilt, addictions, negative self-image. The list goes on and on.

 Sometimes, these behaviours become so unhealthy that you need professional help. Often though, these problems don’t reach that critical crisis level. So, they stay there, and we tell ourselves “That’s just the way things are”, or “That’s just how I am”.

I believe that if left unresolved, these issues eventually end up manifesting themselves as physical conditions. Search the internet for “metaphysical causes of [illness name]” or “spiritual causes of [illness]” and you can see examples of illnesses and diseases caused by unresolved emotional issues.

 My job as a healer is to find and fix the root causes. Firstly, I see the event and then guide a person back to it.

 Then, I guide a client to process the event in a healthy way and come out the other side, with the event now integrated into their lives.

 This can be a challenging and confronting process. It is not a quick-fix and we do not use shortcuts. And it takes a brave person to confront their past, look at their experiences and flaws and mistakes and own them.

 However, each and every person has the power to do it. It is your choice. You can make the choice to be free. It is hard work, but you have the power to be successful.

 

I would be honoured to help you take that journey.

 

 

Here is a short example of what may happen in such a session: Catherine’s story

Catherine spent many years stuck in relationships with men who ultimately let her down and abandoned her. This was a regular pattern in her life, until her one day her ex left her and their young child in crippling financial debt and disappeared.

 

Catherine turned to a healer for help. The healer identified a critical experience from Catherine’s past life:

 

In that life, Catherine was a witch who was burned at the stake. Her man, who could have rescued her, stood by and did nothing.

 

In the moments before the flames consumed her, she cursed herself for being born the way she was, and vowed never again would she rely on a man for her safety and needs.

So, that’s just what she got in this life; Catherine’s choice of partner was always the same: weak, unreliable men with no strong values.

 

To make matters worse, she carried deep inside her an absolutely solid conviction that that was exactly what she deserved. Not that she would ever have admitted it, but it was definitely there.

 

During the healing session, Catherine went back to that event and had a conversation with her past life persona. Catherine told her that it was not fair, that she had every right to be angry. That she did not deserve to be betrayed by the man she loved. She told her that it was not her fault for being born the way she was. They both cried and hugged each other.

The result was a kind of ‘rewriting’ of her story. The witch did not end up cursing herself.

This meant that in this life, Catherine was no longer stuck with those damaging beliefs stuck deep inside her. It made room for her to build a new set of beliefs about herself and men in her life.

 

This took her plenty of hard work. She developed affirmations about what she wanted in her life, such as “My man is committed to standing up for our relationship.” She hung them all over the house, put them on her phone and reminded herself of them dozens of times per day.

 

She also examined her previous relationships; saw the patterns that existed there. She wrote imaginary letters to these men who had been in her life, now seeing the events from her new perspective. She made the decision to put herself in the centre of each event, but as an actor rather than a victim.

 

Now, a year later, she is in a caring and loving relationship in which she is receiving everything she wrote that she wanted.

Is it against my religion to have psychic readings?

I do not preach religion or anything that I believe to be inconsistent with the teachings of major religions. I do not discriminate and in no way attempt to convert you or draw you away from whatever spiritual beliefs you hold.

 

Of course, your comfort and piece of mind are the most important. So, if you have specific questions , please feel free to ask. It can also be helpful to consult a knowledgeable person from your spiritual community.

During the session

Are the any questions that I cannot ask you?

A conscientious psychic (which I am) will not discuss:

  • Questions about the death of a client or anyone else– when/where/how etc. This is a big no-no. Death is a matter that is entirely in God’s hands. Any psychic that offers to give you information about your death or anyone else’s is messing about with dark energies that you do not want around you.
  •  Matters relating to third parties that do not affect you directly. For example: the question “Is he cheating on me?” relates directly to you, so we can discuss it. But “Will my ex marry my best friend?” is not appropriate.

Some psychics will not answer questions about health or pregnancy. I do, but I also always refer clients to a doctor or medical professional.

In relation to health questions, my readings must be understood to be for entertainment purposes only. They are not intended as a substitute to professional medical advice.

Is there anything to be afraid of?

There is a lot of misinformation about psychics and their work, so it is totally natural to have reservations about this experience.

I guarantee that

  • I do not engage in black magic or coercion, or making anyone do anything at all that they are not comfortable doing.
  • I do not deal with questions of death or sickness. I will not offer information about death in order to scare you.
  • I will never claim you are ill or cursed and suggest that I can provide a unique cure.
  • Your identity and all information you share with me is held in the strictest confidence and will only be shared with your explicit consent or as may be required by law.
  • I will not use any information to harm you or third parties.
  • I do not keep notes about the contents of readings.
  • I will not swindle or cheat you. I am not trying to scam you out of your money or get the better of you in any way. I promise to provide an honest and genuine service.

My psychic readings are intended to be an uplifting and fulfilling experience.

That said, there is always the chance of painful truths emerging. As humans, all of us have the tendency to ignore and suppress so-called ‘negative’ emotions. We like to skip over these discomforting feelings, pretend that they don’t exist, deny that that’s how we really feel because it may be ugly or painful.

Personal growth requires admitting and facing these negative aspects of ourselves. The purpose is not to sink into misery and depression, but when we face these feelings and our fears, our insecurities and mistakes, we grow.

Try to re-frame your fear and nerves into excitement – excitement that you are going to get to know yourself better, and be a more complete person as a result.

Is this therapy?

The insights that can be revealed during our readings is certainly therapeutic, in the sense that I hope it will help you to review old belief patterns, examine yourself , and consider what options will truly work best for you.

However, a psychic reading or healing session is not a substitute for therapy.

I like to integrate knowledge and techniques from many places, and believe that each method has its uses and value. So, if I feel it would help you, I will absolutely recommend you to therapy or other healing techniques.

I can personally recommend the online platform www.betterhelp.com to find a counselor or therapist to help you. I have personal experience using this site and wholeheartedly recommend it.

What are Tarot Cards?

 

Tarot Cards are a tool that some psychics (including me) use. They are (normally) illustrated cards. The deck is larger than a normal playing card deck. Cards are divided into two main parts. The first is the major arcana, which is a set of 21 Cards each portraying a specific unique image. These cards represent the major lessons in our lives. Each tells a part of big story.

The remainder of the cards are called the minor arcana. They are divided into four suits: wands, cups, swords and pentacles. Cards are numbered from Ace to 10, with Court cards as well.

 The images on the cards have rich symbolism. These images help connect to our intuition. It is here that we can get insights into what’s really going on deep down when we ask a question.

 

There are hundreds of different decks out there, each with its own theme and use (literally everything from Ancient Greece to Zombies). It is up to the personal preference of the psychic or intuitive reader as to which cards they use, if any.

What other tools/techniques do you use?

I use a wide range of other decks in our readings. Each one has a specific use and meaning, so I like to combine them depending on the particular issues at hand.

 

I also use pendulums. These are made from gemstones on the end of a wire. These are used to get yes/no answers. Note that one never asks a question to the pendulum itself; it is simply a tool. We ask the guides around us to send us the answer through the pendulum.

How do I find a psychic that is best for me?

A psychic is like a hairdresser or a therapist: there are all kinds out there. Each has their own style, their own strengths and quirks. With some you will just click, while with others you don’t.  

The most important thing is to find someone with whom you feel comfortable and trust.

Remember, it is not about finding someone that says what you want to hear. Sometimes, the messages may be hard. That’s why it is so important to have someone that you trust.

That’s why my sessions are always at least half an hour. This gives us the chance to get to know each other and spend some time opening up. 

Unfortunately, there are some psychics out there that do a bad job. If you have an experience like this, please remember that in any industry there are some people who just care about themselves and don’t take responsibility for the damage that they do to clients and to the industry as a whole.

 

Do you guarantee that what you say will happen?
In a reading, I see likely outcomes.  However, what appears likely (or even inevitable) today may change tomorrow.
Why? Because each of us has power over our lives.
That does not mean that things will just change without any action or input. Making changes is definitely not easy. But remember, there is always a choice!
That is your real power: to change your future into something better.
So, I do not promise that what I say in a session is set in stone. If you take action (which I will help you do) then you have the power to change your future.

After a reading

Do you offer money-back guarantees?

Maecenas eu placerat ante. Fusce ut neque justo, et aliquet enim. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Nullam commodo neque erat, vitae facilisis erat. Cras at mauris ut tortor vestibulum fringilla vel sed metus. Donec interdum purus a justo feugiat rutrum. Sed ac neque ut neque dictum accumsan. Cras lacinia rutrum risus, id viverra metus dictum sit amet.

Fusce venenatis, urna eget cursus placerat, dui nisl fringilla purus, nec tincidunt sapien justo ut nisl. Curabitur lobortis semper neque et varius. Etiam eget lectus risus, a varius orci. Nam placerat mauris at dolor imperdiet at aliquet lectus ultricies.

Duis tincidunt mi at quam condimentum lobortis.

What if I'm unhappy with my reading or healing session?
Your concerns and feedback are very important to me. If you are unsatisfied with any of my services, please please let me know. I will do my best to address your concerns and find a suitable solution.
Please do remember that due to the nature of psychic readings, sometimes it is not so much the service that clients are not satisfied with, but the answers. That is something I cannot control. Sometimes, hard truths come out in a reading. In such cases, please try to remember that I am a messenger and that my goal is to pass on messages to you that you can use to make your life better. I deliver these messages out of love and with conviction that by helping you know yourself better, you will be empowered to make positive changes in your life.


Can you prove your abilities before I commit to a reading?

The short answer is no. 

Having psychic ability is not a parlour trick. It is a gift that needs to be used for the right purpose. In my case, I use my abilities to help people deal with personal issues.

Answering questions requires plenty of energy, plus openness on the part of the person asking the question.

I do not perform these tricks in order to get people to believe in my abilities.

I understand that there is sceptism about psychic abilities, and some people may have unforunately had bad experiences with psychics (or so-called psychics) in the past.

Here are two ways that you can check to see if I’m the right psychic for you:

1. On my Facebook page, I have a selection of videos of psychic readings held in a public forum. Those videos are free to watch if you’d like to see how I work.

2. On that same Facebook page, there are reviews and recommendations from past clients. 

 

Can you accommodate a reading internationally?

Yes. We can schedule a session from anywhere in the world. All you need is a good internet connection.

Payment

Why should I pay for a psychic reading? Shouldn't you do this for free?

ple that I have spoken to over years either believe that a session with a psychic should either be dirt cheap, or that psychics should provide their services free of charge.

It’s an interesting point. Should psychics even charge for their services?

My answer is yes. Here’s why:

 

Compare the cost of a psychic to other service professions. What does a therapist cost for a session? A psychologist? A counselor?

How many sessions does one of these professionals require to get to the heart of the issue? It may take weeks. And that is fine.

However, psychics are often expected to immediately discover exactly what’s going on, find (and fix) patterns that have been going on for years or decades. And they are supposed to do all this for the cost of a cup of coffee! (I’m exaggerating, but only a little)

My prices are very competitive in the industry. Compare them to psychic phone lines or to sessions with other psychics, and you will see. I have chosen a model that does not cost clients per minute, because I believe that it is impossible to really relax and make the most of a session when a client is looking at their watch and counting the seconds.

I am very experienced and skillful. I have over 30 years’ experience providing these services for people all over the world. I receive positive feedback and have clients return to me many times. My services are, I believe, of exceptional quality.

 

How do I go about making payment?

At present, I only accept PayPal and transfers to my New Zealand bank account.

Please let me know if you have any other preferences and I will try to accommodate them.

 

What is your cancellation/changing schedule policy?

Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours prior to our scheduled appointment in order to be eligible for a refund.

Cancellations made within 12 hours will be be refunded 50% of the fee.

Changes can be made free of charge up until 12 hours before the scheduled appointment. 

Of course, if you have an emergency, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you.

 

Returns

If I don't like my reading, can I get a refund?
No, I don’t offer refunds. I stand by the content of my readings. 

 

There are some instances that during the reading, I can sense such resistance or even hostility towards me that I may terminate the session. In such cases (which are very rare), I will determine at my discretion whether and to what degree a refund will be offered.
