I will never forget the first time I heard the word “clairvoyant.”
In my 20’s, I was intensely studying dream work and learning how to understand the deep messages in my dreams by interpreting the symbols. At the time, I was experiencing a tremendous amount of turmoil in my life and the information that my dreams provided was so therapeutic. I was working very hard with my dream teacher to find balance in my life and soul.
During our sessions, she would ask me to squat in this one particular position because it was a grounding technique. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t do it. I would just fall over.
I was exploring so many things to try and heal the pain in my heart. One of my explorations led me to a psychic I heard people raving about. Prior to that, I’d only had one reading before from a palm reader in Coney Island, so I was intrigued.
After waiting weeks for the appointment, the day finally arrived. I went to the bookstore where the reading was being held and was escorted into a back room. I sat down across from Roger – I can’t believe I just remembered his name! – and waited eagerly to be told all the wonderful things I was wishing for.
Well, that did not happen.
Everything he told me I pushed away because they felt like untruths to my heart. Then he looked at me and said, “You are clairvoyant.”
Ding, ding, ding! I’d never heard this word but this sounded real. I said, “What does that mean?” He explained and as I listened to him something sang out in my soul. I felt like I had finally come home.
A few days later, I went to another bookstore to buy books on this topic of clairvoyancy and developing your psychic ability, excited to learn everything I could. This was before the internet and before bookshelves upon bookshelves were devoted to this very topic. All I found was a small shelf of books about psychic ability. I pulled one of them off the shelf and the minute I opened it up, it was like I was pulled into a secret chamber and I was totally engrossed. It was amazing. It was as if I could finally breathe.
When I eventually pulled my nose from the book and looked down, I noticed I was squatting in the exact position my dream teacher had recommended and was, at long last, completely balanced. I knew I had found my center. I knew I found my truth. I had no idea where it was going to take me but I wanted more.
I’m so grateful for that psychic who shared that piece of wisdom with me. I don’t remember much about the rest of the reading except he said I would be a director. I’m not, but that’s okay…I didn’t want to be. I do know, he was one of those people that changed my life that day.
Ten years later, I began to study my psychic gifts more intensely and I noticed that my own guides were teaching me how to hone my abilities. The famous mediums I was studying with did not hold the wisdom my guides were imparting on me. Some of it was found in books but not all of it. I was exhilarated by how I was able to take what I learned and turn it into a kick-ass ability to use my clairvoyancy for my every day life and readings.
Connecting to Spirit clairvoyantly is an amazing gift!
