Why Choose to Work as a Psychic?
As long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated by the paranormal. I have always loved a good ghost story. I have always been entertained by scary movies and Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I have really enjoyed pretending to be someone or something else if only for a little while. Is this because the Sun was in Scorpio when I was born? Is it because I was born on a Wednesday? (“Wednesday’s child is full of woe”) Maybe. But most likely it’s because I lived many past lives as either a witch and/or someone with psychic abilities. I believe that my soul brought these abilities and interests with it when I was born into this life.
In my late twenties and early thirties, I finally realized that there were other avenues for exploring the paranormal. I never before realized that there were haunted tours available. I guess I never thought to look into them. But, I do thoroughly enjoy attending and participating in these tours. It wasn’t until I really immersed myself into paranormal activities, that I realized I have psychic abilities. My first experience was at a séance. In the middle of the table there was a table top gazebo with windchimes suspended inside for spirit to move. I was very intently staring at the windchimes. I really wanted to see them move! In my mind, I heard We don’t want to move your damned bell! I know I didn’t think that, because I wanted to see proof of ghosts. Afterwards, I spoke with the mediums conducting the séance. They confirmed that the foreign thought sounded like an angry ghost that inhabits that space. That experience was certainly mind blowing for me.
It wasn’t until 3 years later when I took a community class on the paranormal, that I had a super mind blowing experience. In the class, we were practicing psychometry. The teacher passed around objects and photographs for us to gain impressions. I never got a chance to inspect the objects, but the photos gave me information I would not have known. The first picture was of a lady probably in her fifties. She was wearing a business suit with a pill box hat and cat eye glasses. Secretary and Army Nurse are what I heard in my mind. The next picture was of a man in a white button up shirt and tie, He was holding an acoustic guitar as if he was playing. Doctor is what I heard in my mind. When it was time to discuss what impressions we got, I waited for everyone else to talk about theirs. Then I asked the teacher if either of the people in the pictures worked in the medical field. She confirmed that they did and asked for me to elaborate. I asked if the woman was an Army Nurse. She corrected that the woman was a nurse. Then I asked if the man was a doctor. She confirmed that he was. These people were her grandparents.
I was so excited that I had this experience. While waiting for my husband to pick me up, I called my sister and ecstatically told her what had happened. I also related this experience to my husband. I always thought it would be cool to be psychic, but I never really thought I was. . . until this night. After this experience, I continued to take classes of this nature. In fact, I took a tarot class. A few years later, I took spirit communication and past life reading classes. I learned that I can also see past lives.
I’m going to back up a bit to explain why I really want to be of service to spirit and provide readings for people. Between the ages of 21 and 31, I lost my brother, father, step-father, aunts, uncles and my mother. This is a lot of grief and loss for someone trying to figure out who she is. After my mom died, my sister and I booked a reading with a medium. This lady gave us such comfort that I thought it would be really awesome to be able to do the same for other people experiencing grief and loss. At this point, I still hadn’t figured out that I had any psychic gifts. I just thought it would be so cool.
Once I realized that I did, in fact, have psychic abilities, it just took a lot for me to trust the information I receive. I have heard so much that practice is the only way to get the confidence you need to trust what you are getting. It is very true. The hard part for me was finding people to practice on. I did practice readings for friends of friends, family members of friends, my family members. It wasn’t until I became a vendor at a psychic fair and got validation, from complete strangers, of what information was coming through, that I realized that I can do this!
I have always wanted to help others. I started out as a caregiver for my brother who lived with cerebral palsy. I then became a nurse. After 20 years of being a nurse, I realized that it no longer resonated with me. This was also the time that I figured out I was psychic and realized that I can help people with my psychic abilities. It would be a great honor if I could give you the comfort that a medium once gave me. Thank you for reading this. Brightest blessings to you!
