How often should I get a reading?

One of the more popular questions that a spiritual medium receives is “How often should I actually get a reading?”

While every situation is different and there really is no right answer,generally every six months to a year is ideal. Things change in our lives though, sometimes more rapidly than we would like. You can always get a reading sooner if you are seeking guidance but for most people, six months to a year is sufficient.

If you keep coming back and getting the same message time after time however, it is because you aren’t listening to what spirit are trying to share with you. If you find that happening, step back and take a look at yourself. Ask yourself “why” you wanted to venture down this road to begin with. What did you hope to gain? The spirit coming through is there to help guide you but if you aren’t making yourself receptive to what they are sharing with you, then maybe the fact is that you just aren’t ready to listen at that time. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try again once you feel ready. We all have those moments when someone is trying to give us direction or advice and we think that we know better than they do.

Sometimes a reading might not make sense at that moment and that is okay! By spacing your readings out, it allows you the time to really reflect on the message you have received. It may take days, weeks, maybe even months for the message to sink in. You may be driving home one day after work and ta-da– you have a light bulb moment and suddenly get it.

The best piece of advice that I can give you is to just do what feels right. Trust your gut. If your gut is telling you to go and get a reading, then maybe there is something important that needs to be shared with you. As always, go in with an open mind and an open heart.
