About Being Psychic

Yes, there is a day when you realize you are a psychic channel, and it is very different from the day before. I can’t think of anything quite like it other than getting married.  But the thing is, now that you are psychic, you still have to learn how to be one. Which, come to think of it, happens when you get married, too.

I remember thinking in the beginning that I was receiving the most secrets of secrets and holding the information in the highest regard. And it is, but it’s also shaped by who you are as a person. That part I didn’t learn until a lot of time had passed.

That’s why psychics are all so different from each other.

I suppose you could call it maturity. It’s like somebody in their first party dress ever with a shiny pair of shoes on, twirling and tapping their way to school, so very proud of themselves, and the same person twenty years older who isn’t so concerned about what she is wearing.

The trappings don’t matter as much.

What matters is whether people can be helped by what the psychic says.

First of all, they are older, and most people do gain down-to-earth wisdom that really works as they get older.

But a psychic? Yes, they need to mature as individuals, but they also need to learn how to be psychic.

Here are some things I’ve learned to do as a psychic:

1.       1. I had to learn how to listen. I mean really listen. I had to learn how to hear my inner self. I had to learn how to be observant of myself when I’m feeling whiny, tired, irritated, or sick.

2.        2. I had to learn how to react without doing it dramatically and instead in a mature fashion.

3.        3. I had to realize that the tough spots in life were just as valuable as the good spots and that I could learn something valuable from them.

4.        4. I had to learn that just being ordinary was as exquisite as being a diamond.

5.        5. I had to learn that boundaries are important.

6.        6. I had to learn that sometimes allowing people who want something, who are needy, and who don’t listen aren’t in my best interest to be around.

7.        7. I had to learn that being holy isn’t the same as knowing God and having a spiritual relationship with whatever higher power you identify with.

8.        8. Basically, my job is to show other people they can be close to God whenever they want, and it’s all okay.

9.        9. Also, that there is no Hell. There just isn’t. It’s all Heaven. My Spirit Guide once told me there are hot spots in Heaven too. He was joking, but I understood that we are all here to learn stuff.

1        10. When a psychic says to you, “You must” or “You should,” just say thank you and take the information under advisement. They are merely interpreting whatever they see as absolute advice rather than guidelines you might follow. For instance, when I see difficulty ahead rather than have it come up as disappointment, I phrase it so that whatever it is will be seen as a challenge the person can learn from. This includes some rather difficult things, like, well, a disappointment in marriage or a job you lose.

Ten is enough. I could probably think of more, and seeing as I haven’t kicked the bucket yet, I haven’t gotten to the point where I’ve stopped learning. Ask me again in five years, and I’ll probably have more to say.

I also know that it’s important to have interests. My parents didn’t seem to have interests outside of work in my father’s case or family in my mother’s case. I can remember telling my father he needed to make some friends and to have a hobby when I was a teenager. He never listened to me, except for one morning when I woke early to find him sitting at the dining room table with a calculator. I asked him what he was doing, and he said he was playing with money we didn’t have. He seemed happy.

I am also a Baby Boomer, born shortly after World War II, and have for years been rejecting the establishment while trying to find my own dreams. I’m close, but you’re only one dream away from the future.

Have fun, I say. Have fun with it.

Thanks for reading.
