Receiving a Reading 
by L. Sabrina DeVaney

The Basics -- Applicable to All Readings 
  • When receiving a reading it is very important to be aware of a few factors:
    • No psychic is 100% accurate.
    • An average psychic's accuracy is between 60% and 65%.
    • A good psychic, between 66% and 76%.
    • A very good psychic generally maintains between 77% and 80% accuracy.
    • An exceptional psychic generally maintains between 80% and 85% accuracy.
  • Psychic do make mistakes! (And Sabrina is no exception.)
  • An honest psychic will tell you what s/he receives, which may or may not be what (or from whom) you want to hear.
  • Come with an open mind -- a closed mind can block the flow and accuracy of a reading.
  • Come drug- and alcohol-free -- these substances almost always block the flow and accuracy.
  • Give the reader little initial information (varies depending on type of reading being received) -- during the reading answer questions only with a simple Yes or No. If you wish, you can expand on your answers after the reading portion of the session has been completed.
  • If you have recently lost a loved one, it is best to wait at least six months before seeking an after-death communication session. This is best for your mental and emotional welfare. Most honest After-Death Communicators (mediums, psychic mediums, spirit mediums, etc) will not see you if the loss is recent.
  • Please respect the professional's time. Once you have been notified the reading time is over, politely thank the reader and take your leave.
  • Most readers have some type of soft alarm to indicate the reading is over; others will let you know verbally that time is up.

Remember: a psychic / after-death communicator will give you the information s/he receives in his/her frame of reference. It is best, if the information you receive does not automatically make sense, for you to follow your own translation that comes from your own spirit / heart.
If you receive a reading that indicates a possible unpleasant future, consider it a learning opportunity, and use it as a guide rather than something predestined that you cannot change. You can always shift your course, rearrange plans, alter your thinking, and change your mind.

Remember: it is not polite to shake your head "no" all the time, even if the reader is telling you things that you do not agree with or understand at the time. Be open to the information, write it down, and see what manifests in the future. After all, you are hear to see what lies ahead.

Very important: please do not play "Test the Psychic". This is demeaning and very rude behavior and can end a session very quickly. A psychic usually cannot tell you what you ate for breakfast or what you wore yesterday. It defeats the purpose of a reading and wastes your time and psychics. If you do intend on playing "Test the Psychic" you can expect ...
  • a very inaccurate reading
  • being escorted out of the Gallery / office
  • being completely ignored
  • to be held legally liable for paying the full amount of your scheduled reading time.
