Becoming Spiritually Mature as a Psychic Reader
Psychic Mind or Physical Brain?
Your mind is activated by the energy of spirit. That, in turn energizes the brain. The only reason you retain memory is this: your brain is activated to be the vehicle of the mind. When my physical body dies, Melissa’s brain can’t recall any information. But the spirit of Melissa has every bit of information she experienced, sent during her life through the link between her brain and her mind.
That is the main reason intuitives and mediums can contact spiritual information. It is now in the Universal Mind. Many believe mediums talk only to the dead. Well, a medium is a connection between the physical and the spirit, also known as the “go-between”. Yes, mediums do contact the spirits of people who have died, but they also can contact the spirit of someone still living. It’s the energy field or aura of the spirit around the physical body that is tapped.
Thoughts on Psychic Mediums and Readings
When you consider getting a psychic reading, be sure you keep these thoughts in mind. Just as people are all different, so are readers. There is no "one-size-fits-all" when it comes to psychic readers.
Some readers are upbeat, some are strong and forward in their presentation, some are humorous, others very serious. One is not better than the other. However, you may prefer a certain style. If the reader seems too aggressive for your emotional sensitivity, you are not expected to stay. Say so early in the session and make other arrangements for a different reader.
You have the right to end a reading if you are not comfortable. But it is advisable to do so after five to ten minutes, as soon as you realize it. To take up the time and energy of a full reading and then say you don’t think it’s a good match is not good etiquette. This would be a complete waste of your time and the reader’s energy.
In fact, the reader may even suggest the reading is not proceeding in a good way, and suggest you reschedule, or even see another reader, depending on what is happening. I’m usually able to recognize when I am not getting a good connection, or the session just doesn’t feel right. I will either ask for another scheduled time or offer the names of different readers that fit better with the style or substance needed for that client.
Sometimes the reader does not connect with the loved one you request. In fact, sometimes, if a client is so intent on speaking with only one special spirit, the connection might not happen at all. Spirit connection is not always receptive to pressure. As much as you may want it, and as much as the loved one’s spirit may want it, it may not always happen.
Once in a while, the client really doesn’t have any specific questions, but wants a general reading. I may suggest they go to a tarot reader or palmist I know for this type of session. If you are getting a palm reading, understand that the reader will hold your hand at least part of the time. If you have an aversion to being touched by a stranger, then palm readings may not be your cup of tea. A tarot reader will be able to give you a full reading by using a spread of cards. You may not have to ask questions during this session, but I feel it is important to do so. Then you are more likely to get the information you need.
Astrology readings will be different. You’ll need to provide the date, time, and location (city) of your birth. Then there usually is a section of the session requiring the reader to calculate your specific chart. (Sometimes the astrologer asks for this ahead of time.)
As you can see, there are many types of readings and many types of readers. So be flexible in your expectations. However, the purpose of the reading is your betterment, and to provide information for you to make life decisions. This should be the reader’s main focus for your session. The reader will help you find the source of concerns or challenges, and will give you possibilities to strive for, or will suggest changes for positive life growth.
After having a psychic reading of any type, you should feel empowered and good about the choices you are making and about the directions you are moving in your life.
Becoming Spiritually Mature as a Psychic Reader
Becoming spiritually mature requires a giant leap of faith. Along with that faith comes the realization that you are capable of making good, sound decisions. Having a responsible attitude is to know you are ready for spirit to move you toward the right decisions.
Growing in spirituality and psychic abilities requires the same learning process as growing from childhood to the teen years and on to adulthood. By the time you have matured to adulthood (spiritually speaking), you have learned how to trust in your own abilities.
With knowledge comes responsibility. Being spiritually mature involves great responsibility. Psychic readers are responsible for the information they share with their clients. To assist their clients properly, they need to be educated and mature enough in their spirituality to be a responsible source of information and service.
There is no excuse for wrong action. You aren’t the child you used to be. You have been given access to wisdom; you must use it correctly. Now is the time to adopt the attitude of responsibility. By your attitude, you assume a position. An attitude of responsibility implies that you are capable of adult action. As you grow in spirituality and develop your intuition and psychic ability, you realize the importance of your gift. This gift is meant to be used in love and to uplift everyone with whom you are connected.
