What to Expect from Your First Psychic Reading

Whether you’re feeling lost, curious, or simply in need of guidance, your first psychic reading can be a deeply moving and insightful experience. But if you’ve never had one before, you might be wondering… What actually happens during a reading? What should I ask? Will the psychic know everything about me?

Take a deep breath - we’re here to guide you.

At Ask The Answer, our gifted readers connect with your energy through phone, email, or instant message, offering spiritual insight that’s both gentle and empowering. Here’s what to expect on your journey.

Step 1: Choose the Right Type of Reading for You

There are many ways to connect with a psychic, and each one offers its own kind of magic:

• Phone readings are perfect for open, flowing conversations where you can dive deep into life’s questions.
• Instant message (IM) readings offer quick, convenient guidance - great if you're on the go or feel more comfortable typing.
• Email readings are thoughtful, written insights you can revisit whenever you need clarity.

Top Tip: First-time? Try a short phone or IM reading to see what resonates with you most.

Step 2: Prepare Yourself Energetically

Before your reading, take a moment to get grounded. You don’t need to "do" anything special, but centring yourself helps you open up to the guidance coming your way.

You might:

• Light a candle or incense
• Take a few calming breaths
• Write down any questions you want to ask

Your energy is sacred. The more relaxed you feel, the more insightful your session will be.

Step 3: Ask Questions That Open the Door to Deeper Insight

Your reader won’t tell you what to do, but they will shine light on your path, helping you see more clearly. You’re welcome to ask about love, career, spiritual growth, or anything else on your heart.

Try:

• “What’s blocking me from moving forward right now?”
• “What do I need to know about my relationship?”
• “Where is my current energy guiding me next?”

Top Tip: Avoid yes/no questions if you want a fuller, richer reading. Think: energy, patterns, possibilities.

Step 4: Stay Open, Not Afraid

Psychic readings aren’t about predicting doom or telling you what’s “right or wrong.” They’re about connecting to your own truth through a compassionate, spiritual lens.

Most people feel:

• Seen
• Uplifted
• Emotionally lighter

Even if something surprising comes through, it’s shared with love. Our readers hold space for whatever you’re going through without judgement.

After Your Reading: Reflect, Don’t Obsess

Once your session ends, give yourself a moment to reflect. Maybe journal what stood out or sit quietly with the guidance you received. You don’t need to make big decisions immediately. Trust that the insight will unfold in your own time.

And if you feel drawn to deepen your journey, you’re welcome to come back anytime to the same or different reader.

FAQs About Your First Psychic Reading

Not at all. An open mind is helpful, but belief isn’t a requirement. Many first timers come to a reading curious or even sceptical and still walk away with powerful insights. It’s about receiving guidance that resonates with you.

How do I know which psychic reader to choose?

At Ask The Answer, every reader has a detailed profile with reviews, specialties, and spiritual tools they use (like tarot, clairvoyance, or astrology). Browse until you feel drawn to someone and trust that pull. It’s often your intuition guiding you.

What if I get nervous during the reading?

That’s completely normal, especially if it’s your first time. Our readers are kind, non-judgemental, and experienced in helping people feel at ease. You’re in a safe space where you can be yourself.

Can I ask about love, career, or life decisions?

Yes, absolutely. Love, career, relationships, spiritual direction - these are some of the most common topics. Just know that psychics won’t make decisions for you, but they’ll offer insight that can help you feel more confident in your own choices.

How long does a psychic reading last?

That’s up to you. Some clients book short 20-minute readings, while others choose longer sessions. On our site, you only pay for the time you use, so you can stay in control of the experience.

Will my psychic tell me something scary or bad?

Psychic readings aren’t about fear, they’re about clarity. Our readers don’t predict doom or misfortune. Even when tough topics arise, they’re shared with care, love, and a focus on healing and empowerment.

Can I get a reading instantly, or do I have to book?

Many of our readers are available right now for phone or instant message readings. Just look for “Available” on their profile, and you can connect immediately. If you prefer email readings, those are typically delivered within 24 hours.
