Before you have a reading . . .

Let’s talk about black and white.

During every reading, I receive both positive and negative sights, energies
and thoughts.  This is not a contradiction but pieces to a puzzle.  The
puzzle is called life and the pieces, different aspects of this life.  

Each and every matter in life has positive and negative factors.  Even the
death of a
terminally ill person relieves the constant earthly pain and suffering of that
person.  
Hence, the positive side.  

So please understand, in terms of your reading, that everything works in
balance.  And the constant positive would become a bit boring without a
little bit of negative every now and then.  Also bear in mind that chaos and
confusion are not necessarily dark energies.  They can be helpful and useful
in finding a resolve.


Let's talk about . . .

Honesty and openness.

First rule of thumb is to never go into a reading with an angry attitude
towards your advisor, a bitterness pertaining to psychics or a skeptical
mind.  It's OK to be curious, of course.  But if you disbelieve in the process
at hand or you do not trust your psychic, your energy will be tensed and
blocked.  You will not have an accurate reading.  In the past (even fairly
recently), I've read clients with this attitude.  The results were average, not
outstanding.  And I refuse to read in that position again.  Unless the client
is fully open to the experience, it's a waste of time and money.

How many times have I heard, “if she’s so psychic, why do I have to tell
her my name?”  That’s almost as bad as, “why should psychics be paid?”  
Well, I'm sure many seasoned psychics could sit there and connect to
determine your name and come up with it or something similar.  I have
done that countless times during my learning period, before I started
earning my living as an Advisor.  But with so many drastically important
client issues that need to be dealt with, what’s the honest point of expelling
energy to tell someone their own first name?  Testing?  And how many
professional psychics have the time to be tested?  I hardly have time to fit
in all my scheduled readings, enchantments and writing.  Senseless test
questions have no place with a full-time, professional psychic and this is
simply due to time restrictions.  

I’ll go a step further.  Not only do I have no time to tell you your own
name (although I will tell you the names of others if necessary during your
reading), I welcome background information if the client is willing to
provide it.  I do NOT require it, and I never ask for it, but I do welcome it
for two reasons.  The first reason is because it saves me time in the reading
process.  If a client doesn't provide background information, I discover it
through the reading.  But I must do that first before addressing their issues
or questions, so the entire process takes more time and more money for the
client.  The second reason is because I do not wish to invade the privacy of
a client.  Perhaps he wants me to read on one issue, but he'd rather I not
know of something that happened five years ago that was very private to
him.  When I must open all doors to see through, I may see some things
that the client would prefer I didn't see.  When a client provides
background information on the matter at hand, I concentrate on that alone
and nothing else about the client.  It’s a more focused, concentrated type of
reading and one which is preferred.*

I believe we all have psychic ability to some degree.  Some may be able to
enhance  a low degree of ability to a medium degree of ability.  Some, who
are naturally gifted are able to lift a natural medium degree of ability to a
very high degree of ability by openness and practice.  It’s like intelligence.  
Everyone has a certain degree of intelligence.  But some are naturally
smarter than others.  So it’s there for all of us.  So if you have the same
ability, perhaps you could tell me my name.  Oh I took the time to enhance
and concentrate on my gift, starting my lessons with learning tarot cards,
crystal ball imaging and studying dream interpretation.  And perhaps I
had interest enough to develop my clairvoyant ‘powers’ better than some.  
However, we all are blessed with the gift of intuition.  What do you think
animal instinct is?  It’s intuition.   How does a bird know to build a nest?  
How do mama bears know to protect their cubs?  How do animals sense
when they’re being quietly stalked in the dark?  Instinct . . . which in turn
is intuition.  Think of our brains for a moment.  We’re obviously more
intelligent than animals, aren’t we?  So we have not only instinct but sense
as well.  And that’s our psychic down fall.  Logic tells us intuition is non-
existent, but it actually is.  God blessed the animals with intuition for
survival purposes.  He gave us so much more.  Why would he leave out
intuition?  We need to survive, too.  God didn't leave us in this cold world
without instinct and intuition.   We all have it.  But by having sense
and logic as well, our intuition sometimes fades.  By logic, it fades.  Only
those open to the gift can receive it well and use it.  But I’m a firm believer
that a bit of it is in all of us.  

Well, back to my original question.  Why do you have to tell me your
name? Well, you would not walk into a doctor's office and because that
doctor has enhanced his
intelligence in the field of medicine expect him to diagnosis just by the
expression on your face . . . or by taking your blood pressure . . . or
checking your pulse?  No, he would need to ask questions, fully examine
you and perhaps run medical tests.  This is how he assesses things.  
Trained professionals in any profession would be inadequate if they didn't
fully comply with the necessary measures of servicing you.  Doctors, lawyers
AND psychic advisors.

Clairvoyance is measured in images and some times symbols.  Remote
viewing may show you flashes of a place or a person.  And even empathy
(reading the emotions of another) requires a degree of our own perception
as to what the subject is thinking and feeling.  We interpret what we see
and feel.  That’s how many psychics wouldn’t know your name per se but
may know the letter it begins with or how many letters are in it.  (However,
I’m known for dead-on accuracy with regards to names and full
descriptions.) It’s extremely important to be honest with your Reader.  
Symbols found in a reading require interpretation.  They mean different
things depending on your situation.  For example, seeing you walk out a
door could signify ending an unhealthy relationship if you're having
problems in your love life.  It could mean a job promotion in the area of
career.  It could mean moving from your home to another.  However, if you
lie to your Reader, you won't get the most out of your reading, because the
interpretation of the symbols will be misread.  I might see a correct image.  
But if you tell me it’s wrong to ‘test’ me, I’ll have to take your word for it.  
By doing so, you’ll receive the wrong advice as a result.   Honesty is always
the best policy.  

Don't assume because someone is psychic they know or should know
everything.  We are all psychic, and nobody knows everything.  That’s why
God has an edge over us.   Don't lie to your Reader or try to trick her.  Your
reading will turn
into a disaster if you do.

*One thing to note – NO MATTER WHAT I learn as a result of a
reading, it’s kept in the very strictest of confidence.  Everything I learn
stays strictly between the client and me.
