One of the many pet peeves that I have about my profession is how some will write in their disclaimer: “Psychic readings are for entertainment purposes only.” I used to work in the legal field, so I totally understand this is to cover your butt. I prefer the following: “Psychic readings are for personal insight purposes only.”
Seriously, you’re an adult, so I trust you not to take my word as gospel truth. No psychic is 100% accurate. I’m not the only source of information out there either! Besides, the Universe gave you free will, so even if you don’t like what a highly accurate psychic tells you about the future, choose to change it instead. Sometimes, you can’t change things, especially if others are involved. But, chances are, you can change the course of action you take in order to change your fate or destiny, whatever you like to call it.
My personal philosophy about psychic readings is that they are a healing modality, since I use them to help people. I have studied healing since 1998 when I became a massage therapist and energy worker. I switched gears in 2005 to do readings professionally. But, when I changed career paths, I didn’t just hang up my healer’s hat. I still wear it, often joking to clients, “I can’t help myself ’cause I’m a healer.” So, I tend to bring in information that is about how you can heal your stuff. Of course, I’m not here to fix you or give you a magic bullet. I’m just a messenger or facilitator. It’s up to you to make changes.
Psychic readings are a serious thing to me. I don’t approach working with you as though I were an entertainer. I do like to make people laugh (when appropriate). I just don’t intend or try to impress you. In the beginning of our session, I might relay information as confirmation for you. This helps to foster a connection between us in the client/psychic relationship and this helps spirit to give us more exact information. But, I’m not into the flash or the glamor of this work. I’m more into the practical side. Psychic stuff is useful for our modern lives. It’s not meant to be magical, mystical, or esoteric. It might have been back in the day.
In modern times, it feels like our world is embracing the psychic more. It’s becoming more common to see books, classes, authors, teachers, and events related to intuition. Intuition and the psychic world are more mainstream. I tend to think of readings (the ones I give at least) as spiritual coaching mixed with the psychic stuff. Again, I like the practical side. I am not going to be woo-woo and tell you, “Oh, your aura is purple.” I’m going to tell you something, well, more useful. Information like how to move forward past blocks comes through in readings. Or, guidance about how to start an important project. Messages from your divine team will come through about small life changes you might need to make in order to create the life you desire. Stuff like that.
No flash. No sparkles. No glitter. I mean, I might be wearing red, glittery nail polish in our session–but, that’s it as far as the dazzle goes.
(P.S. I know there’s a song by American Idol Adam Lambert that is similar to the title of this blog post. I know I will get emails about this, so that is why I mentioned it. Please, don’t send me any links to it. Hee hee!)
Off to play guitar. Perhaps, this will entertain a few squirrels and birds in my backyard that hear it through the walls?
Blessings,
