Just because you see an advert in a magazine or online that says someone has been a successful psychic for twenty years and they can help you, this does not necessarily mean they are the real deal. Don't Believe Their Hype.
I've seen ads where psychics say they've read for Presidents and charge $300 for 20 minutes and yet their ability does not reflect their financial rate. The most expensive psychics are not always the best.
"Preying on Vulnerable People"
Having done over 1,000 psychic readings, Approximately 80% of my clients are going through some type of challenge. The other 20% are looking to deepen their relationships, create more success and deepen spiritual awareness.
When people are vulnerable, they can be desperate for answers and will go to any psychic to alleviate their pain. I have heard of situations where the person has left the reading more distraught than when they arrived for their session.
If you are in an emotional state and have any doubt about the psychic, do not commit to a session with them.
"A Psychic is not God"
A psychic reads your energy field and accesses information from your past, present or future. Do not let any psychic have power over your decision making process.
A psychic's role is to support you as a guide and a counselor so you can make the best choice. A psychic reading is meant to be preventative medicine.
It is poor conduct and irresponsible when a psychic says something like "You are going to die in the next two years." "You're husband will have an affair." "You're going to loose money."
I remember being at a New Age event and this guy comes up to me. He tells me he's a professional palm reader, before I could respond, he'd grabbed my hand, turned it over and said "Oh, you're going to die in a year and there's nothing you can do about it."
I was horrified. I knew his energy was off and I dismissed him however for someone susceptible to this information, it would have been quite traumatic.
Listen to information however come to your own conclusions. If you are uncomfortable in a reading and the psychic is abusing your boundaries, leave.
"Manipulation and Power-play"
Watch out for psychics and healers that claim to be channeling extra-terrestrial beings. I have seen their egos get in the way. They will give incorrect or hurtful information to get what they want. Most of the time their actions come from their unconscious mind. They are not aware that their ego is giving misleading guidance.
If what you are being told feels hurtful towards you rather than showing the truth of a situation, the reading is not serving the purpose of helping you.
Do not be frightened to explain that the information is not true for you. Ultimately the most important person to trust is you.
"Why is the Psychic Behaving Like The Spanish Inquisition?"
It's a bad sign when you go for a reading and the psychic starts asking you lots of questions to extract information from you.
For example "Are you married? Do you have children? Are you going through a divorce? I've got a dead relative coming through for you. Is it your Dad, brother, ex-boyfriend?"
I find the best readings are when I don't know the client because it gives them confirmation about the guidance they are receiving. A good psychic will be able to tune straight in.
5 Tips to Help You Pick The Best Psychic For You
1.Get a referral from a friend or reputable metaphysical bookstore.
2.Trust your gut. Just because someone said they had an amazing reading with a psychic, doesn't mean they are the right psychic for you. It depends on their vibration being a match with yours.
3. Be open when going for a reading. If you put up a wall and try to test the psychic, you'll be wasting your time and money.
4. Are they friendly? Professional? Supportive?
5. Psychic Checklist: Questions to Ask
How long have you been psychic reading?
How will you tune in to get the information I need?
How many readings have you done?
What percentage of your clients return? If yes, how often?
Do you honor client confidentiality?
Do you teach workshops?
I strongly recommend carrying out a little research before committing to the reading. This will maximize your connection with the psychic, confirm that the psychic is authentic and set you up for a positive experience.

What is your favorite sex scene in a movie?
By: relationshipGuru | 19-11-2007
Sex in movies is often reduced to mood lighting, soft pop music, a bed, partial disrobing and some hazy camera work. (On the other hand, of course, there's porn.) But when a movie gets a sex scene RIGHT, the result isn't just titillating; it can be tender, awkward, kinky or passionate, and frequently all of those things at once. With that in mind, what is your favorite sex scene in a movie?

Follow up thread, is it time to touch mi gf?
By: omgitistotallymatt | 18-11-2007
Orion, this is the same thread i started earleier, i just want to covey that i believe it is the parents causing this to make her feel "dirty", and how she thinks tht if other people know she will be dirtty. how can i subtly tell her this is not so, and (i will be seeing her soon with mostly alone time) how can I do these things to her so she will become comfertable (the whole touching thing). I feel that she believes that we dont need to do this. We dont, but i feel it would add a whole new level to our relationship. Also, she says she is very mature, and i kno she is, but the thing is, i dont want to hurt her doing this. is there a way to get the point across to her that doing this is perfectly natural, and at the same time getting her to believe me, and me doing it to her to show her that it can be enjoyable., do you catch my drit. I dont want sex, b/c marriage is the only time id do tht. I kno we dont have to do this, but is there a way to get her to believe me. the first time i did it, i kno she enjoyed it, is there a way i kan show her that is ok, so i kan do it again (mayb making her feel aroused in a sense, and if so, how do i go abt doing tht). Just any ideas so i can continue this practice, i feel that we are far enough into our relationship that we should be doing this. Also, we talked about the first insident after it happened, and she was telling me abt how she felt "dirty" and tht it just wasnt right. Hope this helps.Plus, i dont know if this would help, but the first day i tried this, i noticed that wht she was wearing was not the norm, like she wore it to make me feel...well you know. I noticed the stuff she was wearing underneath her pants wasnt boxers, but underware, b/c her pants were basically clear (long story on hwo i kno that, but i sware it is NOT cuz i am a perv) . it is lik she is sending me a mixed message, that she wants me stimulated, but she doesnt wanna be Thank you for yorur help so far. :)
