Have u ever had a successful psychic reading or met a real clairvoyant who's helped/healed you?

I'm pretty scornful about this kind of stuff. One time though, I went along to see this psychic woman with a girl I know. The woman told me all kinds of stuff that was semi-accurate owing to its vagueness. One thing she got spot on, though. Someone (dead) wanted to say something to me, she said. My friend said "It could be Mark" (the name of my then recently deceased borther). The psychic said "He killed himself, didn't he?" which was true, and I was momentarily impressed. I'm assuming that the name Mark, together with the fact that my pal said a name rather than "yr dad" or "yr gran", let her know it was a young male. In which case, there would always be a good chance that it was either suicide or a car crash.

This information didn't heal/help me, mind you. Oh, but my brother did have a message for me. He said I should try to be less miserable (look who's talking) and that, seriously this is a direct quote, "there's nothing to fear but fear itself".

I don't want to die. It seems the experience turns you into an imbecile.

I had always thought my father was completely indestructible, and when he died (from throat cancer) a few years ago I was absolutely devastated and inconsolable.

A friend of mine suggested I should see a medium - something I was fairly sceptical about at the time.

I saw a woman in Reading. I gave no personal details about myself when I phoned to make the appointment, and gave very little away during the hour I sat with her (just the odd "yes" or "no", but not actually contributing anything). She suggested I tape the conversation to listen to again afterwards - which I did. I was stunned.

She told me all sorts of things which were very accurate but which could have been mere guesswork. And then she dropped the bombshell.

She told me that my father (who was apparently standing right beside me) was showing her a watch, and was quite insistent that she should mention it. He was pointing to an inscription on the back of it, and she was to tell me what it said.

She went to get a paper and pencil to write it down - because she said that although she could see it very clearly, she couldn't pronounce it and it made no sense to her at all. She scribbled something down, and then handed me the pad. She had written "Ni ddychwel doe", which is the Welsh for "Yesterday Never Returns" - my Dad's old school motto; I had had it engraved on the back of a watch I gave him the Christmas before he died.

Don't think she could have guessed that one.

i have been to a few 'psychics' in my time and oh boy have i wasted THAT money! usually i would be going with a friend who dragged me along " no no she/ he is REALLY good so-and-so told me " bla bla bla and all i would get is some easily discerned drivel about my current life, followed by absolutely ridiculous claims of my future wealth / fame / happiness.
if only at least some of it ever came about!

one thing, though, almost ALL of them have commented that there is a woman there with me stroking my hair, they always say "she is your grandmother? but not blood-related? " and they would be all confused but my mum was raised by a stepmother whos own mother would brush my hair and took particular interest in me, out of all the grandchildren. thats the only thing i get that makes sense, that she is around me.

It seems to me that there are two distinct issues with psychics: knowledge and wisdom. It is one thing to know the future, quite another to know what to make of that. No amount of knowledge can make up for a lack of wisdom.

It further seems to me that, even if psychics can claim some amount of clairvoyance about the future (a debatable claim at best) there are utterly no reasonable grounds for thinking a psychic is any wiser than you are. The same goes for mediums who claim to channel the spirits of ten thousand year old shamans and whatnot. Why believe a disembodied spirit is wiser than you are?

It's your life! When you bugger it up, you suffer, not the psychic or the spirit shaman. What do they care if they slip you some bad advice? So, I say knuckle down and master the challenges, don't pass the buck to somebody else. No good will ever come of that.

I am only impressed if they psychically know which playing card I chose.

no but this: http://www.colorquiz.com nailed some of my uglier personality traits so squarely that it kinda freaked me out

ok right so this is easy:

i. actual real passed-over people are only as smart as they were when alive and possibly less
ii. anyway psychics do not actually contact the "other side" obv
iii. successful frauds and con artists have good insight into human nature
iv. so a psychic reading will do you more good if the clairvoyant is a fake
v. this only applies if the faking is done with yr best interests at heart

I'm convinced I have some sort of clairvoyance. Oftentimes I'm struck with an incredible sense of deja vu, and on more than one occasion I've had clairvoyant dreams. Though to clarify on the deja vu, it's merely the sensation of it, and I can't remember what the reference point in the past is.

I was told by a fairground psychic at the age of 16 that I would be dead within five years. (I think my teenage punk rock scoffing ways pissed her off.) Every birthday I pass I laugh at her.

But I am a total tarot card addict, but that's got nothing to do with psychicism, it's archetypes and human nature.

I've always had lots of clairvoyant dreams, but never of anything useful, and only of things I later experiance myself. The freakiest was probably one I had as a teenager, when I dreamt that my maths teacher was demonstrating a card trick. A few weeks later, it all came true, right down to the card that the teacher was trying to find the name of.
