Psychics- Real OR Fake?

It goes without saying that every girl asks herself why she’s so stressed or worried, and then dwells on what the future holds.  I’m pretty sure it’s the same for guys too. Recently, a lot of friends including myself have taken an interest in speaking to a psychic to know what our futures really have in store for us. Whether it is for religious purposes or not, a lot have been skeptical about whether or not anything we might be told may be, in fact, true or not. In certain religions, i.e. Sikhism and Hinduism they normally go to ‘Pandits’ who map out their lives according to their exact date and time of birth. They fortune tell according to astrology and can combine numerology with divine intuition. In every culture, even Middle Eastern cultures, there have been many methods of fortune telling including reading of the ‘finjan’ –cup.

The question arises, ‘is this in fact, fake?’ To be honest, judging from recent experiences and asking people about their experiences, the answer is not really. I believe that many psychics and fortune tellers can be frauds based on how they scam you with questions. If he or she asks a lot of questions and gives you vague statements that prompt you to say ‘Oh my gosh, yes!’ or even name a person with the letter they mention - i.e. ‘S’. These readings are referred to as cold readings and likeliness is that the psychic isn’t real. Real psychics look to empower you with information. They tap into your habits, issues and characteristics generally. They pin point what is going on with you at the time being, feeding off what energy you exude at the time. Hence, I like to think of it as a momentary reading. The real psychics don’t try to guess names of the people involved in your personal life, but ask you for that information to hone in on that person’s energy. Again, they go based on the energy you give out. The psychic acts as a mirror, providing you with a reflection of yourself and guiding you through the specific questions or situations you present to them.
 Judging on the experiences I’ve heard about, the reality is that no one really knows what the future holds. It is up to you, and whether or not you are spiritual, you are in control of your own fate. Every stress, worry, and decision is in your hands. A psychic or fortune teller is no different to family and friends guiding you and giving you advice for situations you already know how to handle. It’s almost like looking for affirmation but losing money along the way. A couple of friends have said that the whole beauty about life is the element of surprise and not knowing what will happen… It’s true, life is all about the journey and it is inevitable that we will all find our true happiness.
