ARE MANY PSYCHICS BETTER THAN ONE?

Question: "Over the last year I have tried out several different psychics. Each psychic has their strengths in different areas, some are annoying, some very accurate, some are removed. None of them are a good as you, though.

There is a part of me that questions - I do that with everything. Yesterday, I had the absolute worst reading I have ever had from anyone yet. There was a lot of drama from her, and very little of her being insightful. She changed some of her predictions for me based on my reactions.

I asked her to tune in with some people and she suggested that anyone that says they can do that are full of it. Isn't that what you do? I left feeling angry, ripped off, and a bit confused. Not the feeling I get after talking to you."

Before I address this topic fully, I want to start out by saying that I am truly sorry that I have not been able to be there for you in the past few months due to my sabbatical after my mother's sudden passing. I greatly appreciate the patience, understanding and support that I have received from all my clients during this time. It takes a great deal of psychic and emotional strength and power to properly and profoundly connect with another person in order to do a good reading for them, and I will only do my work for others when I am feeling strong enough and powerful enough to give 100% to each reading. This is why I am able to give such powerful readings, but unfortunately, it will probably be a few more weeks before I can commit myself to offering my services again.

Psychic Advice : There are many psychics out there who have different forms of psychic abilities, with varying degrees of psychic power. Psychic abilities fall into three main categories: clairvoyance (psychic vision), clairaudience (hearing psychic messages), and clairsentience (psychic feeling/sensing, or empathy). Some psychics are "clair-cognizant", which means "clear knowing", and refers to psychic knowing, divine intuition or channeling of psychic information.

Most psychics employ one form of these psychic abilities to receive information, and become specialists in that area. For example, psychics who are highly clairvoyant make good psychic detectives; psychics who are highly clairaudient make good mediums because they can communicate with spirits who have passed over; psychics who are highly clairsentient make excellent healers; and psychics who are highly clair-cognizant are very good at making predictions, or delivering divine wisdom and guidance.

Some psychics are able to use a combination of these psychic abilities to varying degrees. I employ all of these psychic gifts in my readings, which is why I am able to address each area of a person's life in a profound way in order to bring about true transformation and healing. My primary gift is clairsentience, so I am able to feel what other people need in order to fulfill their heart's desires, and also what they need to hear or do in order to heal their heart and soul, as well as their mind and body. I am also clairaudient and clairvoyant, so I receive psychic messages and see psychic visions (although I choose not to work with those who have passed over, because that level of the spirit realm - called the Lower Astral Plane - can contain a lot of negative energy). I am also able to receive clair-cognizant information in order to be a channel of divine guidance.

Different psychics will have a different perspective on things, often because they are viewing the information they receive through their own belief systems, judgments and opinions. When I do my work, I make sure that I get my own opinions, belief systems and judgments out of the way, so that I may deliver a pure and unbiased reading. There are times when I am called to say things that are uncomfortable for me personally, but the guides insist that I deliver the messages exactly as they are given for the benefit of the person I am reading. I learned right from the beginning that the best results come when I get myself out of the way and let the Universe speak through me.

I do my work from the heart with a great deal of compassion because I am clairsentient or empathic, so I feel what you feel, and I connect very deeply with you, even over the telephone. Those psychics you have been to who are "removed" may not have this psychic gift of clairsentience, and therefore tend to remain more detached from you and from their work. Being empathic has always made it easy for me to read others, and people have come to me for guidance starting in my early childhood. My family always called me "overly-sensitive", as if this was some kind of disease, but I have discovered that it is actually a great gift that allows me to help a lot of people, even though it can be somewhat painful for me at times. It is so easy for me to connect with others, even at a distance, that I have learned to shield myself from my psychic gifts when I am not doing readings in order to protect myself.

When you ask me about other people during the course of a psychic reading, I am able to receive information about them in severaI ways: I can feel them through your connection to them, therefore I can connect to them through you empathically. If you have their full name at birth and birth date, I can further connect to them through reading their Akashic Record, which is the record of each person's soul. This will give me a great deal of information about sacred contracts and karmic bonds that you have with that person. I can also clairvoyantly see past lives that you've shared together. Some people are more difficult to connect with than others, especially if they have strong walls or boundaries, but I am usually able to read other people at a distance quite easily.

The psychic that you most recently went to obviously had her own issues and limitations with her gifts. Different psychics resonate with different people, and I would venture to say that your energy was too advanced and powerful for her abilities. However, your own insecurities and doubts led you to a psychic who seems to have her own insecurities and doubts in her abilities, at least where you are concerned. My mentor and teacher, who was the Intuitive Consultant to the U.N., always told me that when seeking advice from another person, look for someone who already has what you want for yourself, because they know how to get there, and they are resonating on that frequency.

The part of you that questions everything is both healthy and unhealthy for you. Questioning is a good thing in life, because for every question you ask, the Universe provides an answer - you must simply be patient to wait for the answer, then be willing to hear it, even if it is not the answer you were hoping for. A question is a quest, and when you quest for knowledge, you can receive true wisdom, if you allow it. Doubt can also be a helpful thing, and there is a healthy form of skepticism. When you doubt what you are hearing or seeing externally, you must turn inward in order to find your truth. What is true for you always resides within you, and that is where you must seek to find your truth. When in doubt, go within; close your eyes, and feel what you feel in your heart. If something feels uncomfortable to you, you must listen to that, because it is telling you that something is not right for you (even if it seems right for others).

Sometimes it can be helpful to turn to some form of external guidance as a way of facilitating a connection with your own divine guidance. At such times, it may be helpful to have a psychic reading, but only from someone you feel truly comfortable with (you can usually tell within the first few minutes of talking with someone whether you feel comfortable with them and confident in their abilities and approach - you can get a sense of rapport even when calling to book a session before the reading itself). You can also use a divination tool to access and receive your own guidance for yourself, such as Tarot cards, divination cards, or a pendulum, but you must be willing to trust the answers that you are receiving. The first impression that you receive is usually the highest truth, after that you are simply "second guessing", which leads to confusion rather than clarity.

When you continually question everything, you create a sense of confusion for yourself that causes you to doubt and mistrust everything, including (perhaps especially) your own self. You must always trust yourself first, because only you can know what is true for you. By consulting many psychics over and over again, you are giving your own power away and becoming dependent on external guidance. This is very dangerous. Some psychics tend to foster dependence out of their own need for security, encouraging people to come back for more and more readings. I believe that a reading is supposed to empower you to discover who you truly are, what your gifts, talents, strengths and abilities are, and how you can best use them to create joy and win at the game of life. A good reading will give you the tools and the roadmap to transform your life so you can live your highest potential.
