Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Cynthia answers some frequently asked questions.
 
What is a reading like?
 
"I am entertaining and yet serious. After all, who wants to read a boring book just for facts? I try to give the information sincerely, honestly and with wit. Life is too long not to see the humor in ourselves."
 
What religion is Cynthia?
 

"I was born into a Catholic family who practices Catholicism their way. My mother is a devout catholic to be sure. However if she does not agree with the Pope she calls him on it and says he has it wrong. As for as myself I gave up Catholicism in 9th grade when the nun teaching religion told me a bad Catholic would go to heaven before a good Jew. I was dating a Jewish boy at the time and was not having any of the exclusivity. All this said, we prayed to St. Joeseph to guide us to a new home. We knew we found the right place when we walked in and there was a three foot statue of St. Joeseph in the house. Nothing else, just the statue. Turns out there was one buried in the yard as well."
 
What are Cynthia's views on religion?
 

"I believe religions are beautiful and my husband and I have been blessed by Hindu preists and taken communion in the Duomo in Milan. We'll take God everyway God shows up, including a walk along the Potomac river in Great Falls park and helping a friend give birth to her fifth child. I feel people who use religion, or science for that matter, to exclude don't get the true message of their practice. In this case, we have taken doctrine and twisted it to fit our small minded egos. Religion of any kind when read with a broader vision unites and has a much more psychological meaning for developing the individual into a spiritual adult -- meaning a person with their own unique relationship to GOD. I believe most religious texts are road maps for development not "do and don't." People who condem other people for taking a certain path that is not the one they practice have a screw loose and this is the unfortunate root of much of the pain and suffering on the planet."
 
How does Cynthia read?
 
"I sit down and we have a conversation. Through the conversation comes the information. Picture Lionel with his dust cloud. Our personal story revolves around us in an energetic cloud. When I read, I read your energy, the story that surrounds you. Our conversation stirs this "cloud." It's similar to when you cook vegetable soup. When you stir the soup, the vegetables come to the top. Our conversation brings the more important information to the surface. From there your questions are answered and unsolicited information is delivered through me to you. I am not a clairvoyant, clairaudient or clair anything - I just know. And when we talk and stir your "cloud," it is this "just knowing" that comes through."
 
What is a psychic?
 
"We are all naturally psychic but just like everyone is not meant to be a doctor or a lawyer or a pro baseball player, not everyone is not meant to be a professional psychic. This is my natural proclivity just as some people have a natural talent to play the piano. And just as a pianist must practice to become the best they can be I have been working very hard to be the best I can be for nearly 15 years."
 
How do I know if someone is a good psychic?
 
"I believe a good psychic delivers you to your information as clearly and without judgment as possible, always empowering you with your information to make more informed choices. A good reading is never ever about the psychic. It's about you. They also will help you see your questions as well as your answers with a broader picture. They are the mirror from which you can see yourself. This bears repeating and emphasizing - a good psychic is a mirror which you can see yourself, your path, your opportunities clearly. A good psychic leads you to your own guidance, that which is your divine right, never their personal opinion."
 
Why does Cynthia tape her readings?
 

"I prefer taping my sessions for the exactness of the reading instead of the memory of the reader or the client. What is said is recorded and can be played back exactly without interpretation or recollection. As sometimes sensitive information ends up on tapes, it is wise to put those tapes in a private location. I strongly recommend listening to tapes six months or so later. People often find that the reading was 110% correct, but initial interpretations were incorrect. Not "right" or "wrong" -- just not correct. It lends certain perspective and things are often clearer after time.

A good example of why taping works is as follows. I'm paraphrasing here as this is a real story. A client wanted to start their own business but was currently employed. In the reading it came out that they would be paid until they opened their store. We both initially interpreted that as they would have a job until they opened their store. In reality, the job ended but they were paid severance until they opened their store. So the reading was spot on, but the initial interpretation was incorrect. This is why I tape, because on the tape it said clearly - "You will be paid until you open your store."

 
How do I tell if a psychic is the "right" one for me?
 

"It is always my suggestion to check the people out you invite into your world, anyone at all really, with your own spirit. A good way of doing this is to literally sleep on it. Here is one technique you can do in your sleep. Before you go to bed ask to get in touch with your higher self then place a simple suggestion for communication such as, "If I should call this person for a reading please shake my right hand for yes and my left hand for no." Write down the request and which hand means what. Do this every night before bed until you get an answer. It's a twitch that comes through, your arm or leg or hand will just voluntarily jump. You'll know it when it happens. The old saying "Ask and you shall receive" works."
