Things You'll Need:

  • Tarot cards Crystal ball Rune stones
  1. Step 1

    Set the mood in the area to be used for the psychic reading. Dim main lighting. Add candles and soft meditative music to the background. This is great for entertaining and also helps boost concentration and focus. Remember that a psychic reading will be different for each person.

  2. Step 2

    Prepare any supplies you will be using for the psychic reading before the reading begins. This may include properly cleaning a crystal ball, charging tarot cards or setting out crystals, stones or runes. It is important to have these tools ready for when the psychic reading takes place. Also only use tools that you are familiar with. If you cannot read tarot cards, do not use them as this will only make you look foolish.

  3. Step 3

    Brush up on basic body language understanding. Many books and other resources can tell you a lot about what is said in a stance, posture or gesture. Slumped shoulders can be a sign of sadness. Wide eyes can be a sign of alertness. The rubbing of two hands together may be a sign of nerves. All of these things get transferred to you as you proceed with the psychic reading. This is a very important aspect of a psychic reading because body language says a lot about how a person deals with life in general. It also helps determine what advice the psychic should give them to answer their questions.

  4. Step 4

    Ask the person whom you are giving the psychic reading to close her eyes and concentrate on what she wishes to know. If you choose to use tarot cards or stones in your reading, they should hold them in their hands while concentrating. Give them a minute or two to grow calm as they meditate on what they would like answers too. Have them pass the cards or stones back to you. At this time, it is important for the psychic to explain what process they are using to determine the answer. This could mean explaining why a steady gaze is needed into a crystal ball and what images the ball shows the psychic. The psychic doing the reading will determine how the images are interpreted as they pertain to the question asked.

  5. Step 5

    Lay out whatever tools you are using in the forms set for doing a psychic reading. Allow the person to ask a question. Tarot cards have many spreads that can be used from just laying three cards out to the classic Celtic cross. A psychic will interpret the meaning of the cards depending on the spread used as well as the question asked by the person receiving the reading. Use whatever tool is most comfortable to you. Stones are sometimes scattered on a table and read by which way certain stones landed. An example of this would be if the client asked about financial security in the future and threw the stones so that a green stone landed between north and east. A psychic may interpret this to mean that there will be struggles, but financial security would be accessible in the near or far future.

  6. Step 6

    Use the tools, body language and the questions asked to guide the psychic reading. During this time, your mind should be in tune with the person you are reading, and you should be open to hearing the answers. A psychic reading should be used as a guide that one can use to overcome hurdles and obstacles in his life or just to provide information about himself.
