4 Signs of a “Real” Psychic or Healer

There has to be some complexity there.

When it comes to light workers, how can you tell whether you’re dealing with the “real deal” or with someone who is selling snake oil? There is a spectrum of talent in the spiritual community and there are many kinds of healers. They come in all shapes and sizes. But the bottom line is this: an authentic and quality psychic will have complexity.

What do I mean by ‘complexity’? It’s about self-awareness. Often, that requires some experience with the dark depression, acknowledging their own evolution, and setting aside the ego. A quality light worker will have a deep connection with their soul’s journey and draw on this experience to help others heal.

1. They’ve Been Into Darkness and Back

Someone who hasn’t endured loss, deep grief, and a dark night of the soul is of little use to others as a healer or psychic. To be an impactful healer, they need to have hit rock bottom before. Some may have the ability to see into the future or speak to spirits, but it does them little benefit unless they can also translate these abilities into something that can guide someone else out of the darkness.

For instance, there was an influential psychic who helped me a lot during my early spiritual awakening. She was so alluring because she told people about her own life and struggles. She supported others but at the same time, shared with us how she had to heal from a broken marriage and the challenges of becoming a single mom. This made her incredibly powerful to help others.

A healer must have healed before. A psychic must have known what it means to lose everything. They know the way out of the darkness and they can create a light from their souls that lead the way for others.

Without having journeyed deep into the territory of hopelessness, they won’t value faith and the purpose of life. How can they deliver a message that might bring you back to light if they’ve never experienced a dark night of the soul when blind faith saved their soul?
