Alexander,
Thanks for your reply. That goes along the lines of what I think as well. The person who did my reading was picking up things at such velocity and
with such accuracy, it was breathtaking. I thought *I* was good at body language! His perifereal vision was quite good as well, I could see him
looking at me without looking at me if you get my drift. I think this allowed him to see and note that I tended to be on the skeptical, cautious side
of things. Every blink, every eye movement that I made was being picked up by him, whether intentionally or just as a matter of course. He calls
himself a psychic healer and has been doing it for years. I assume this has given him the ability to read people before they even sit at his table.
Anyway, thanks again as I had some inkling that it was perception and the study of people that along with the basic hand reading is what provides the
ability to do an accurate 'reading'.
Just as a little test, I was with two other people that day and we all agreed (giggling all the while) to get 'read'. We didn't hide this from him,
we circled around each other and were polite - afterward we sat together and discussed his findings.
Some of the things seemed to be general things he told everyone - some were a blatant sell of his 'reiki' classes and some were unique to each one
of us.
One of my friends for example was told she had a lot of nervous energy and stress, but I watched as she sat with him and not one emotion passed that I
could pick up. She was keeping it bottled to not give anything away. Her hand was as steady as her face was unreadable. My other friend is very
lively, very vivacious - secretly she is demanding, manipulative and stubborn as anything - the reader also picked it up.
As for me - well I'll just keep that one quiet for now.
