The Psychic Do's and Don'ts

I was on keen.com and I was browsing profiles to see who I would like to get a reading from. I looked at probably a hundred profiles and one psychic
Jennifer Moran(http://www.keen.com/details/Jennifer-Moran/Life-Questions/502422) had this in her profile:

Do's

1. Do Be Open Minded and Honest with yourself. While you don't have to believe everything a Psychic says, You should be prepared to hear the truth.
2. Do Follow your own instincts. A reading should be a friendly, positive experience. If you feel uncomfortable for any reason you should end the call.
3. Do Expect Polite,Honest,Accurate Readings. No Psychic is 100% but you should feel some connection with what they are saying.
4. Do Be sure to Check Out any Available Feedback or Ratings. This is the best way to find out a Psychics Accuracy & Reading Style.
5. Do Be sure your Psychic focuses on Your Issues. If you are calling about money Don't let them side track to Love.
6. Do Feel Free to Ask Questions. Example: When did you realize you were psychic? Or How will I know if I'm psychic? A Good Psychic will be happy to answer questions about their ablities and any Lingo you may not understand. ie. Auras, Past Lives, Runes....(Keep Questions on a Professional Basis)

Don't's

1. Don't Allow Yourself to become Obsessed with a Psychic. You should never talk a Psychic more than you do normally with Friends & Family.
2. Don't Allow a Psychic to lead you by asking to many Questions While it is normal for a psychic to ask basic questions ie.names,birthdays,general area of interest. They should never ask questions like: Can you give me a brief relationship background?
3. Don't Give to much Information about Yourself. You should always be straight forward, but too much info. can cloud a Psychic. Or cause you to waste money on a bad psychic guessing.
4. Don't Allow a Psychic to waste your Time by speaking slowly or becoming to wordy about simple things. Immediately interrupt politely and ask them to simplify(this is your time) you should be satisfied.
5. Don't Let a Psychic Rattle on about themselves. This is your time,you and your issues should be the main focus.
6. Don't Put up with an Unprofessional Reading. If a Psychic puts you on hold, falls asleep or stops to speak to a child or pet you should end the call. It will usually get worst.

So thanks for the psychic Do's and Don'ts you can check out her keen.com profile by going to. http://www.keen.com/details/Jennifer-Moran/Life-Questions/502422

Haunted Objects

Every once in a while an item that has been passed down through the family or an item that was very close to a person in life will hold meaning with the person in the afterlife. The Egyptians believed in burying themselves with objects that we're not only close to them in life but objects that would help them in the afterlife. Here are a few examples and experiences of the type of objects that hold meaning to people after they die.

I was reading a client named Tim, he was concerned about his career and the direction it was going. I started to read his tarot and then I felt a strong connection from a woman named Kerri, I asked if he knew an older woman named Kerri that passed on he said "yes that's my grandmother". The woman explained to me that she had created a handmade quilt for him years ago as a present to his parents marking his birth. She explained that the quilt was being kept aside in a box in front of the bed and she was upset, the quilt wasn't hanging up and being treated properly. He said he wasn't sure about that and he would talk to his parents and get back to me later. So four days went by, he called me and explained that his mother had a hope chest in front of the bed that the quilt was laying in. She said she was so upset since the death of her mother she was too upset to bring it out and hang it up even though she had brought a rack for it weeks ago. He said that the message was comforting to his mother and they brought the quilt out and hung it up for her.

Nancy had always loved to wear these long elegant necklaces in life. She literally had boxes of them so she wore different ones everyday. There we're two necklaces that especially called out to her, one with seashells and one with blue and red beads. I was doing a reading for Marie and she was asking about her situation with her boyfriend. Suddenly I was receiving a message from Nancy so I said there is a woman coming through with a very proper elegant energy. She's extremely intelligent and she saying she's angry your not wearing the necklaces and treating them properly. I said one of the necklaces is made from shells, and instantly Marie thought of Nancy. Sure enough the necklaces we're misplaced in a kitchen draw Marie pulled them out and placed them in the cabinet next to the fine china so they could be on display for everyone to appreciate. Nancy was pleased and couldn't stop smiling that somebody had finally heard her and given jewelery the respect it deserved.

A few years ago Cindy was going through a bad divorce we had done a few readings off and on, but it was becoming increasingly harder for her to see hope in any situation because of the divorce. She was in the living room she had just gotten in from a friend's house and everything was completely dark. All of a sudden the doll on the book shelf which her aunt had given to her started to move and play music on it's own. She was scared and didn't know what to do. She said out loud "is this an angel?" and the doll started to play music again. She asked "are you here because I've been depressed lately and you want me to feel better?" the doll started playing music again. Off and on she would ask questions out loud and the doll would stop and start on it's own. Finally she took the doll off the shelf to see why it was making noises on it's own. She looked and even took the doll to friends and family to see if they could find a reason why. Until this day she hasn't found any reason why the doll would have gone off on it's own. She believes it was an angel helping her find light in a dark situation.

Has anyone ever had a similar experience with a "haunted object"? Can you find a plausible explanation for the doll moving on it's own?

About Past Lives

Have you ever thought about what you were in a past life? I've had many readings done by my husband informing me of who I was and what I did though I had my own feelings and idea of what was going on in past lives before then. Normally I read past lives using my tarot, because it can show me in detail the different lives people have had. A gentleman I read pursued business in his life, he specializes in marketing . It was no surprise to me that he lived a life prior to this one producing consumer goods in the Second Industrial Revolution, it was my opinion that he managed the production or started one of the major companies that mass produced items in America. I suggested he research different companies that we're popular at the time. What lesson did he learn in that life? Aside from the skills he gained in marketing and sales. It was clear to me he learned how to manage his professional and personal life, in that life he had learned to balance the two and had become very good at it. It was also clear someone he was currently working with in this life, had worked with him in past business endeavours.

Do fears carry over to your current life? Ever had a fear of drowning or a fear of heights? It could be possible you met an end to one of your past lives this way. Personally I don't feel I have carried over any fears from my previous lives. Ever felt mysteriously drawn to Egyptian times or Western times? Similar interests and hobbies carry over into your next life. For example, I've always been drawn to the Tarot, and it's rumored that Tarot has roots in Egypt. I've been told I've lived a life as an Egyptian. My tarot deck, is Egyptian themed with ancient symbols and pictures. It's been my belief people who have felt drawn to certain time periods might have come from that time period, this isn't always the case but it's a good place to start.

A friend of mine is constantly planning her meals out ahead of time, she has to have everything planned for the week or she feels very uneasy. Could she have starved in a past life? Could this be the roots to her uneasy feelings? Some people might watch TV or read a book and find something in history they're especially drawn to. Finding the roots in your past lives can help you learn from them and benefit in your current life. After all, your stay in the mundane world is a learning experience. If you haven't learned your lessons the first time, it might be a good idea to try it again in this life. Otherwise you could be coming back again.

Could the reason you've been so drawn to your current affair is because you've met or connected with the person in a previous life? This isn't always the case, but sometimes this explains the motivation and connection from the start of relationships with people. I feel people who continuously follow you into the next life, are looking to connect with you again or teach you a lesson, weather it be a good friend, a soul mate, a teacher, or somebody you could learn a lesson from.

Gifts From The Dead

The following article is based on true stories, that have happened to people I know. For confidentiality purposes the names have been changed but the story remains the same.

Tiffany was very young when her father died, only nine and she was very devastated about it. As the year moved on it was getting closer and closer to her birthday. The day before her birthday she found a gold ring in the sand on the beach she was playing at with her mother. She brought the ring over to her mother and her mother looked at her in shock. She said, your father was going to buy you a ring for your birthday, one that looked similar to that one. They tried to find somebody who the ring belonged to, but nobody could be found. So since they had tried their best to find the owner at the end of the day her mother said she should keep the ring. It was probably a gift from her father. The next year it was getting closer to her birthday again, this year she was turning 10. She was walking home from school, and she looked down at the sidewalk to find a beautiful necklace made of small river stones with a shining silver letter T dangling from the middle. She picked up the necklace and showed it to her mother. Her mother smiled and said it's probably another gift from your father. Every year after that until she turned 18 she found a small gift where ever she was around the time of her birthday. She always considered it a sign from her father.

Maryann was married to a man for 20+ years and she loved him very much. They're relationship was up and down just like any married couple they had their tiffs, but when it came down to their relationship and how they cared for each other they we're very happy together. Maryann was at home folding clothes and thinking about the errands she had to run for the day. Earlier she had said goodbye and sent her husband Mike to work. She heard a knock on the door and received news there had been an accident, and that her husband had passed about 30 minutes after he had left. She was devastated. Months later when valentines day came around she was especially upset seeing everyone together and in love. She went over to her mother's house to spend time with her and talk about how work was going. There was a knock on her mother's door, somebody was delivering a dozen red roses. She said "Oh this must be a mistake." She looked at the card to see who the flowers we're from. The card said "Love always. - Michael" The delivery man said, just to keep the flowers and apologized for the mistake. Until this day, she believes the flowers we're from him to her, in her mind it was no accident. She has never been with anyone else in her life. She waits for the day she can see him again, but until then she feels he still loves her.

Everything happens for a reason, I know not everyone believes this, it's not a realistic point of view to have. When it comes down to it, I believe in fate. Has anyone else ever had a similar experience they would like to share?
