How to Prepare for an Online Psychic Reading

Whether it’s your first session or your fiftieth, preparing for an online psychic reading is essential to get the most meaningful and accurate insights. Online readings, whether by phone, instant message, video, or email, offer flexibility and convenience, but your mindset, environment, and energy still matter.

This guide will show you how to prepare for an online psychic reading with clarity and confidence so you can receive the guidance you're truly seeking.

Quick Answer: How Do You Prepare for an Online Psychic Reading?

To prepare for an online psychic reading:

• Choose the right platform and reader for your needs

• Get clear on your intentions and top questions

• Ground yourself emotionally and mentally

• Minimise distractions in your environment

• Keep an open mind and heart to receive insight

Why Preparation Is Key - Even Online

Psychic energy transcends time and space, but your readiness and energy still shape the session. The more present and intentional you are, the more your reader can tune into your vibration and deliver meaningful messages.

Whether you're using Ask The Answer’s IM readings, phone, email, or app, a little preparation ensures your session flows with clarity, focus, and deeper connection.

1. Decide Which Type of Online Reading Is Right for You

At Ask The Answer, we offer multiple online reading formats:

• Phone Readings – Great for real-time, verbal connection

• Instant Message (Chat) Readings – Ideal for quick, private sessions you can save and reread

• Email Readings – Best for in-depth questions and thoughtful responses

Choose the format that matches your communication style, time availability, and comfort level.

2. Set a Clear Intention

Before your session, take a few minutes to reflect:

• What do I truly want guidance on right now?

• Are there areas of life I feel stuck, curious, or hopeful about?

• What’s my emotional state going into this reading?

Write down 2–3 key questions or themes you'd like to explore. Examples:

• “Am I on the right career path?”

• “What’s blocking me from finding love?”

• “How can I heal from this breakup?”

3. Ground Your Energy

You don’t need to be spiritual or experienced to benefit from a psychic reading but you do need to be present.

Before your reading:

• Sit quietly for a few minutes

• Take 3–5 deep, slow breaths

• Release distractions or emotional overwhelm

• Open your heart to receive, without attachment to the outcome

Tip: Some people like to light a candle, hold a crystal, or say a short affirmation such as: “I’m open to receiving clear and loving guidance.”

4. Create a Quiet, Private Environment

Even though it’s online, your space affects the session. Make sure to:

• Turn off notifications and silence your phone (if using IM or email)

• Find a quiet, private place where you feel safe to speak or write freely

• Have headphones handy if using a phone or video reading

• Keep a notebook nearby to jot down insights

This ensures you, and your reader, can stay fully focused and connected.

5. Keep an Open Mind

Psychics work with your energy, intuition, spirit guides, or tools like tarot, astrology, or mediumship. They may:

• Answer your questions directly

• Pick up on something unexpected

• Deliver messages that come from a higher source, not just your conscious concerns

Even if the message surprises you, trust that it’s meant to support your highest good.

6. After Your Session: Reflect and Integrate

Once your reading ends, take time to process what came through:

• Reread any messages (if via IM or email)

• Journal your thoughts and feelings

• Consider how you’ll apply the guidance

• Don’t rush to make big decisions - sit with the energy

Many people find that the full meaning of a reading unfolds over time.
