Text Box: Natural Listening Through the Love of Spirit helping you to connect. Text Box: Are You Psychic? Are you psychic? Raise your hand the answer is— YES. I have a very dear lady friend in her late 70’s who refers to psychic by it’s old terminology as ESP. Same thing just another name for it. She used to tell me in a semi hiding tone of how she felt of her abilities. Family members would speak of things in a semi hushed voice. It often makes me think now that they were afraid someone was going to be looking over their shoulder any minute. Long sleeved white coats awaiting any one who dared say ESP aloud, let alone admit to such things! Oh my!!! Living here in East Tennessee as I have for nearly 20 years, the same sentiment I can still feel from others. I usually tell people I do grief counseling. Sometimes I say that I do all sorts of things which is very true. I fixed the commode yesterday, have been working painting the rooms of the house from ceiling to floor, I have been stripping furniture and repainting or staining it, the minor electrical work I have been doing as well. Chief cook and bottle washer extraordinaire, that’s me. Those are all parts of me too, just like the psychic part of me. You may believe it or not you have a psychic side or part, too. Every human being is in some way psychic. Does that mean you should go out and hang up a shingle tomorrow as a psychic? No, not unless you want a huge metaphysical butt kicking. (More on that next month) But it does mean that you can start listening to your intuition more and more. An example: Were you right about who was calling even though you couldn’t see the “caller ID?” Have you ever cooked a dish that just came to you? Have you ever changed your regular driving route because you felt an uneasiness or a push you could not explain? Have you ever felt weird in a room and had no explanation? Have you ever seen things out of the corner of your eye only to turn your head and it was gone? Well if any of that has happened, you have been using your intuition. You, yes, are psychic. You can build upon that ability or just let it sit. Please remember, though, not everyone is a Rembrandt or a Chopin or a Shakespeare, so too is this ability. Some people have better antennae naturally than others and can build upon it more than others. Please understand THAT IS OK!!!! It is also very OK for you to be exactly where you are in your thinking and development right now. This is something you cannot push or make more advanced than it is supposed to be at any given time. I was asked recently “When did I know….?” As I told that lady, I was in my mid 30’s when my abilities started to naturally heighten again but it took a few years for me to do the OMAGOSH NOT ME!!!!????? WHAT???!!! Then to change my britches because of a first we say it then we do it kinda thing. This time frame actually took a long time, many months into years to even start to be as close to 100% as any person can be with these types of abilities. One woman said “You must have been elated?...” The answer to that was a clear NO. At that time I was not a happy camper with seeing, hearing or whatever, to dead people and it really did scare me. My life had been a malaise of teachings to the opposite of this being a “good thing.” That being said, I learned what a wonderful blessing, these psychic abilities, as well as the other “regular” gifts I have are in actual fact. How many women or men do you know who can put in a fill line and change out the flow valve on a toilet without help? The psychic side is just a part of who I am, not the whole enchilada of me. So too with you the psychic side is just part of you. It is up to you to decide if you want to develop and the when and how of it. Ask for Spirit/God to guide you every step. You’ll get it, just maybe not the way YOU wanted. My best advice for those in our area is to find books and read, read, read on this material as well as websites with REAL help. I mean this, not the $19.95 version or the higher version of “You can be a trained psychic in just 10 days with our certificate program.” Frankly to me you have to be certifiable in some ways to do this any way! But you can find GOOD teachers, programs and books through the web, or if you are lucky enough, in person. Spirit will provide. Being psychic isn’t getting messages 24/7 for people, or showing how great your abilities are, or a number of things I could mention. To me, being psychic and a medium is all about helping one another. It is a way for me to help others work with and through their grief in order to allow them to move forward. It is a way to let those who have passed have a little better communication with their people here on this side to help them as well as those they love to get the information through. Being psychic is about the little things, most. I can have a WOW of a reading or a reading that is OK, but time and again, the little things always give me the WOW of it. They so often find a ways to get their meaning through my limited receiver (Hey I’m not Arecibo) (look it up!!!!) and it is so very interesting the ways they do get through, songs, pictures, movies, animal pictures, you name it if it is in this cranial mass they will attempt to use it to convey the message. It is something I will forever be learning. One way I suggest you start to tune in your psychic antenna, is prayer, and then listen for the answer that is given, not just what YOU want. Look at the answers that come. Say your request however and whenever you need to say it. Then Listen. More next time around. BLESSINGS to you and yours, Ada A corollary to the above I have had a slight mental push to make sure this was put out into “webosphere.” We all need to give back in whatever ways we can. It is part of the gratitude and moving forward I feel very strongly about. One way I would like to help and give back is to those who have lost loved ones on active duty in the military through war. If you are a surviving widow, widower, mother, father, grandparent or child (over 18) of a soldier, I will gladly give you a reading to try and help contact your loved one who was lost to conflict. It is not solely for those in the USA, if you are able to speak English or can make these arrangements, I will donate one hour of my time to help you as best as I can, contact your loved ones. I cannot guarantee I can contact your lost loved one, but we can at least give it a try and with a little luck and a lot of love, we might be able to do so. To do this it must be at least 6 months since the passing, NO LESS!!!, they must have passed as a result of active duty even if it was during maneuvers, you must be a widow, widower, child (over 18), sister, brother or grandparent.
