Psychic Impressions

One of the things you're going to love about this next cold reading language pattern is how effective it is.

It allows you to make statements that can be complete misses and yet will fly right by your client, often encouraging them to add the missing information.

This language pattern and its variations are part of every good psychic's repertoire.

• There's • I get • I'm getting • I'm picking up

an indication... an impression... a sense of...

You can mix and match the above since, for our purposes, they pretty much mean the same thing.

Here's an example:

READER: Looking at the cards, I'm getting an impression of a health concern.
CLIENT: Who? Me? I'm fine. (BLASTED! A MISS)
READER: Yes, that's right. And there's an indication of a health concern with an older member of your family.
CLIENT: Really? My parents are healthy.
READER: But I'm getting an impression of someone older than your parents.
CLIENT: Well, my grandparents have all passed away. Oh, wait, you know, my Uncle Jim had a heart attack two years ago.
READER: I thought so. The cards don't lie.
CLIENT: Wow.

What you tag on at the end is up to you: feelings, events, etc. Since what you're "seeing" isn't very clear and the language you're using suggests that, the client will fill in to help you out.

I'm getting an impression that in the days and weeks ahead, you'll find yourself using this pattern and others with ease and elegance.
