Before getting a reading it is important to have a relaxed, open mind so real knowledge can emerge. The more open, the better.

Having an open mind does not mean that you have to take on every bit of information that is shared with you. You need to openly discern what feels right for you. But if you go in with a suspicious mind and heart, you will restrict not only the flow of real knowledge but also what you gain from the reading. For example, if you have been hurt in your relationships with other people, you may have developed a protective barrier around your heart and mind. Be conscious of this so as not to let it limit your reading.

Below is a list of steps to follow to ensure you get the most out of your reading.

To do list
Step 1. Choose a time in the day when you will be least likely to be interrupted.

Step 2. Light a candle and sit upright in a chair in front of it. The light of the candle acts as a symbol of clarity and focus. It can help you during your reading to remain focussed on the flow between yourself and the psychic

Step 3. Breathe in the light of the candle and breathe out any anxieties you might feel. Repeat this twice.

Step 4. Write down on a piece of paper what you want to get from the reading. eg. I want the knowledge to heal my relationship hurt. Writing down your intention is very important because the psychic will pick up on this and tend to feed it back to you. If your intention is unclear then the psychic's message may be unclear to you.

Step 5. Focus on the candle and imagine it burning away all the preconceived thoughts you might have about your situation or what you are likely to hear.
There is a difference between having an intention and an expectation. An intention is flexible whereas an expectation if not met creates disturbance and frustration for the client. You may have an intention to understand how to heal your relationship problems but having an expectation that the psychic will do that by telling you the date you will get married to your partner may not be the way in which the psychic helps you to do this.

Step 6. Plant your feet firmly on the ground and begin.
In a psychic reading it is important that a client is grounded and aware. Too many airy thoughts and struggles in your mind wil not allow the psychic knoweldge to take shape in a way that is practical for you.

Following this guide will assist you to getting the most out of your reading.
