Confessions of a Psychic

I must confess that when I work in psychic session, my most preferred way is by the telephone or computer vs. working with individuals in person. Many would be shocked to hear this; especially, psychics who love working within the energy of that person sitting in front of them. I am empathic which means that I am sensitive to other’s mental, emotional or physical states. Throughout my work as a psychic, I have learned how to ground and protect myself through a ritual that protects my own energy. There are times though when working with someone in person becomes uncomfortable. Their energy feels more like a brick wall slamming against my own. As strange as this sounds, it is an experience I have yet to become comfortable with. Don’t get me wrong, I love people, and I do see some in person when providing them with psychic insight, but I prefer to provide that information away from them. Whether I am working with many, traveling or just in public, I protect my energy.

Protecting my own energy is done prior to my work or even when I leave the comfort of my own space and go into the world. It is something I highly recommend others to do as well. One may not recognize just how vulnerable his or her energies are until our own energy fields take on that of another. To give you examples of how vulnerable our energies are, think about a time when you have experienced or have witnessed this happening:

You meet up with a friend for lunch and shortly thereafter you feel a headache coming on. Sometime during your conversation, your friend says, “I’ve had a bad headache since I woke up and I can’t get rid of it.” You respond by saying, “I have a headache, too.” Or you notice that everything one person complains about, the other complains about the same thing. Rather than assume that one person is merely trying to keep up with the other in the complaint department, know that what has happened is one person’s energy has now affected the others.

I’m sure we’ve all experienced this: A lively party is underway. Everyone is happy and engaging in conversation when you notice someone new has joined the party. At first glance, he or she appears to be down or withdrawn and you go back to the conversation you were just in. Within twenty minutes, you notice that the lively party has now taken on a different “feel.” The conversations among the party-goers has lessened or even you hear a bit of debate going on between two people and you don’t understand how the fun party now has turned to something different than before. What has occurred is what I like to refer to as an “energy spill.” The unhappy person that entered the party earlier was the cause for change. It only takes one person to ask, “What’s wrong?” in order for the energy to begin to shift. That person responds by letting others know exactly why he or she feels down and soon through one’s sympathetic and empathetic nature, the entire energy of something wrong has been taken on.

As sympathetic and empathetic individuals, we often want to help others; however, I suggest that we do some with regard to our own well-being. I always repeat the old saying, “You can’t help someone drowning in a well of water if you jump in yourself.” Staying on the outside and throwing in a rope is the only way to help that person. Keep in mind no matter how you wish to help others, you must help yourself first. By doing so will keep your energy intact and safe from any harm.
