“…because evil exists.”

I just finished a session with a young woman, I’ll call her Melanie, who came to me for a Clairvoyant session. She’s been struggling with her life lately, and a friend of hers told her that she should talk to me. She had been to see four readers before and the readings “weren’t that impressive. They went from bad to worse.”

In fact, one of the readers she saw did the reading in her robe and told her that if she didn’t pay her more money, then her problems would continue to worsen. Here’s a tip. If any “psychic” tells you that … put your money or your credit card back in your wallet or pocketbook, and put your wallet back in your purse or pocket. Then leave.

So she talked to another friend who has seen me as well. “You’ll love him. He won’t tell you what you want to hear, but he’ll tell you what you need to hear at the time you see him.” With that she decided to take a chance and book an appointment with me.

When I do a Clairvoyant session, either in person or over the phone, I ask the person to tell me their first, middle and last name. I do this for two reasons. The first is that it’s a way to get permission from them to read their energy. The second, and sometimes more important reason … it helps me to remember their name!

After they say their name I then start to receive impressions much the same way I do during a medium session, so I won’t go into that. The primary difference is that during a Clairvoyant session, I see what looks like a “film” to me, sort of a movie of their life. Oh, and the energy I expend is much less than during a Medium discernment; kind of like running a 10k as opposed to a marathon race (neither of which I do!).

While Melanie was saying her name I immediately felt that she was living her life filled with fear, confusion and a great deal of uncried tears. When I looked for the reason why, I picked up that she had been sexually abused.

Normally during the first ten to fifteen minutes of a session I do what I call a “book flap reading. ” In other words, it’s a short and concise summation of where their life is now. It gives me an idea as to what  the “book” (their life) is about. During this time I can also see where they might be stuck, and need help moving on.

In Melanie’s case, my initial impressions were all about the sexual abuse she endured. The focus of her life so to speak began, and ended there. Before she could move on with her life, I had to help her heal this part of her life. I was about to say that “everything happens for a reason so that some good can come out of it,” when I heard a voice in my head say, “STOP! Don’t say that!”

“Well, I want to know what the reason is that this happened to her,” I replied silently back to the voice I hear during these readings – a voice I believe comes from God. I’ll be honest, I had to contain my anger at what happened to her when I asked this. “What good is supposed to come from this?”

“There was no reason that this had to happen.” I sat there stunned. “Everything happens for a reason,” I thought.

“The reason this happened is because evil exists. That’s all.”

I told Melanie what I heard. Finally, after all the years of keeping it in, she let the tears start to flow. She didn’t have to try a “higher good” that would come from what happened to her. All she had to do was grieve. I could feel from the energy coming from her heart that it was what she needed to hear. She didn’t have to justify what happened to her, all she had to do was feel her anger at what happened to her, and know that it was okay to be angry.

Whether someone comes to see me, or I’m talking to them on the phone, my first task is to see them as God sees them – as perfect; and beautiful. I wanted Melanie to see herself as beautiful despite what happened to her. I was happy to see that she began to do just that by the time the session was over. She still has a lot of tears to cry, but she also sees that she has a lot of life to live.

I like to end my face to face sessions with a hug. A lot of times painful, even embarrassing issues come up, and this is my way of letting the person know there’s no judgment on my part as to what I heard. I asked her if I could give her one.

“I’m not normally someone who hugs,” she said, “but I’ve been wanting to give you one for a while now.” As we hugged each other I thought, “Well, that’s a step forward in the right direction!”

Melanie, you’re a very brave woman in my eyes, and in the eyes of God too.

I feel your peace.

“What is a good psychic?” by Donna West

I first posted this last October, and I thought it was worth posting again. I want thank Donna West for writing this article.

What Is a Good Psychic?

A good psychic is, first of all, a good person. A psychic is someone you feel comfortable opening yourself up to and discussing your concerns with. A good psychic is some who has worked on their own self-development and spiritual unfoldment – and continues to do so.

A good psychic isn’t perfect. No one is. If you’re looking to find a good psychic for a live reading, do your homework before baring your soul. A psychic might claim to be clairvoyant or possess ESP, but too many people feign their psychic ability to con unsuspecting clients.

How do you find a psychic? Finding a good psychic can be difficult. But a good psychic is real and professional. A good psychic is someone who is authentic and uses his or her real name and real likeness. Anyone who fears using their real name or picture publicly  is in the psychic closet. What are they afraid of?  How can you be sure they are even doing their own work if you don’t know who they really are?  Aren’t they proud of who they are and what they do?

A good psychic isn’t focused on the income derived from their work – but neither is a good doctor, a good accountant, or a good hairstylist. Just like other professionals, good psychics charge for their time and services. But they also give back.

Just as doctors might volunteer their services at a local health fair, professional psychics are willing to share their gifts. Whether donating proceeds of a psychic fundraiser to charity or taking calls on a call-in show, good psychics understand the power of service to others.

Good psychics have a strong personal code of ethics. Good psychics don’t allow you to consult them too often. They don’t ask you for gifts. They don’t tell you that you have a curse, or negative energy that only they can remove. And they definitely don’t cross personal boundaries or become sexually involved with their clients. They use their psychic ability for good causes.

A good psychic also respects your confidentiality. Anyone who “name drops” about their clientele is someone to watch very carefully. While it’s entirely possible that celebrities have given their permission or perhaps received a free reading in exchange for their name to be used, you probably wouldn’t want your name to be mentioned publicly. A good psychic respects the confidentiality of all clients – including well known ones.

Good psychics know their limits. They refer clients to the appropriate professionals, including mental health practitioners, attorneys, physicians and others when necessary.

Good psychics don’t impose themselves on others. They step in when their services are requested in an appropriate setting – which is probably not the grocery store, gym, or the airport. If they feel a very important message must be imparted, it will be done compassionately, gently, and with no mention of the fact that the message is from a psychic or a medium.

Good psychics focus on the message, not themselves as the messenger. They have their egos in check. They don’t take themselves too seriously. They are aware that they don’t know everything, that they aren’t better than others, and that they might be mistaken at times – they are just like every other human being.

The really good psychics, the best psychics are spiritual coaches and teachers, who encourage you to learn to access your own inner wisdom and spiritual gifts.
