I'm weird.. my gift is psychometry... but I am also sometimes clairvoyant over the internet.  But when I try over the phone, i have like 0% accuracy.

Why is this?

Have you guys noticed certain electronic teleconections working better or worse than others?

We all need an energy connection to be able to do readings through any media.  In person there is the whole body energy available and that, of course, is easiest of all.  

Holding an article (Psychometry) is a wonderful exercise to open yourself to the energies of all the senses and using touch (both tactile and emotional) you can form your message.  Again, it is about your ability to use the energies to form a psychic impression that works for you.  It is the attunement with your client that is important.

We are all talented in many ways - some more than others.  Use what works and practice to enhance that which is not as strong.

Phone readers don't have a very good reputation.  Having been involved with a particular groups I can certainly give some insights as to why - they want to keep you on the phone no matter what to run up the fees.  Doing a good job is not at all on the agenda.

Is this what cybermancy is all about?

Somebody told me just a while ago that sometimes it's even harder to read live, as the person might be on guard and put up a wall.

I have never heard that one Antigone!  In person they can not totally block their energy - they can make it difficult - but why come for a reading and not share?  That doesn't make sense - but do it some will!

I am not sure of that term you used.  But it is all about energy.  Some will work better with some energies, while others have their strong points.  We are all so individual.

^Ah. I just heard that term from a friend who reads tarot online.

Thanks for the clarification!=)
