subject: How Do Psychics Help Us? [print this page] How exactly do psychic readings help us? Well that is a question that many who have never consulted a psychic might be asking themselves right now. So, here is my take on why people consult psychics. Psychic readings, for many, are a means of: closure, anxiety relief, and general information, about the unknown.
For example, the passage of a loved one, the loss of a spouse, the infidelity that is akin to a great loss... The list goes on, but it is human nature, and imperative to our psychical wellness, to come to terms with loss. Moving on, to a new chapter in our lives, requires us to accept the past, and present. Psychic readings provide a venue to do just that. Either by reaffirming the truth thereby promoting acceptance, or by helping to heal the wounds left in the wake of a tragedy. It's important to understand that not everyone processes grief, and loss in exactly the same way. And, by allowing oneself to open up, in a spiritual way, to a psychic many individuals are able to: cope, come to terms, and heal from the pain of their loss.
In some instances psychics act as a sounding board for people to vent, or work out their issues. They offer an attentive ear and reaffirm the validity of the advice seekers innermost needs, wants, and feelings. In this instance psychics truly have an opportunity to offer spiritual guidance. This guidance may really help the advice seeker in resolving issues, that may otherwise cause undo spiritual pain, and suffering.
Others seek psychics to find out about future events. Clairvoyants and seers throughout the ages have provided many people advice regarding: relationships', catastrophic events, agricultural events, political events, and financial events. One of the most famous seers Nostradamus still has prophecies' that go on into the 21st century.
While many seek psychic advice with a healthy psyche, or out of curiosity; some seek out psychic advice for unhealthy reasons. Sometimes the mentally ill, or maladjusted seek a psychic's advice out of delusion, severe neurosis, or depression. These people often become addicted to a psychics guidance; which they require just to live their everyday lives. It is unfortunate when this happens, and any self respecting spiritual adviser, with morals and ethics, should curtail relationships with these types of people, lest they do more harm than good. Instead, directing them to a mental health professional or counselor for the help they need.
Still others seek out a psychic's advice because of the social stigma we still attach, as a society, to psychiatry, and psychology. Others seek the spiritual guidance that the aforementioned, entrenched in science, often do not afford them. Overall psychics have helped many a person to get through a tough patch, in their lives. So, whether you believe in: psychics, psychic abilities, or the paranormal; I hope that this article sheds some light into why we, as human beings, seek out psychic advice. And, why it's unfair to prejudge all spiritual advisers as: charlatans, con artists, and loons.
