How I Became Psychic

Seriously, if I can do it anyone can

You know how psychics say they were born that way? That they always could see dead people, have prophetic dreams, or know where the body was buried? I grew up with none of these abilities. Zilch. I couldn't sense anything unusual about anyone. I was just an ordinary kid for the most part.

I was very sensitive, or some use the term empath. I did feel the happiness or sadness of my parents as if it was happening to me. That didn't make me psychic though, it just made me slightly more open.

My early days

I had an interest as far back as I can remember in past lifetimes. I knew with all my heart and soul that we have lived before. I had strange draws to cultures that had nothing to do with my San Francisco, California upbringing. I often felt that I belonged in a different time period and longed for it.

I remember getting a psychic reading one time with a friend. It cost us $5 but she had a two-for-one sale. $5 was my entire allowance for the week. I was so curious I went ahead with it. The woman got us to come into her house off the street. We were 15, super smart, I know.

She made us go to separate rooms as she did the readings and she made us promise not to tell anyone what she said. Everything was super positive, yes you will be a famous singer and whatever else I asked.

Later, that night we broke, we told each other what she said, and my heart was dashed when I realized she had said the same exact thing to my friend. I knew it was fake and it made me resent psychics for a long time. I mean really, she couldn't have tried to vary her content a little?

Putting it together

Fast forward a decade. My sister and I purchased a book by Edgar Cayce on the topic of past lives. He had a meditation technique in it for visiting the Akashic Records. I found I had the ability to read past lives. They would jump out at me as clear as day when I was in meditation. They played like movies in my mind’s eye.

It fascinated me. I started doing readings for friends and soon it became a moderate business.

I learned that the ability I had, what I call intuitive abilities (I still don't like the word psychic), would get stronger and sharper with more use. The more readings I did the easier it got.

I often felt like I was walking out farther and farther on a limb. I worried that people would say how wildly inaccurate I was, I doubted myself during the first years. Yet, the information I would get came in strong, and fast, and as long as I kept my mind out of the way it was accurate.

People never did say anything negative, in fact, it was the opposite. They said I was the most accurate reader they had ever been to and would only go to me. I read for many years part-time and then went full-time, for six years I did full-time readings and it was quite the ride. I got so confident in my abilities that I branched out into readings on love, careers, life purposes, soul contracts, and twin flames.

I eventually had to slow down, but I still do readings. I love them but I rarely use the term psychic to describe myself.

While I do readings for people that have crossed over, I’m not a medium. I rarely have prophetic dreams and I don't involve myself in any criminal cases. These are not my strong suits.

Learn your abilities. Some people are mediums, they can talk to the dead. Some have prophetic dreams. Many mediums can talk to the dead and get information on crimes.

Others are like me, they are able to know things, sense them, or hear them. I have a friend who gets smells when her relatives visit from the other side. Don't be like me and think because your abilities don't look a certain way, they aren't real. Intuitive abilities are with us all, they are merely muscles we either exercise or we don't. That’s it.

If I can do it, anyone can.
