Whispered Desires: A Psychic’s Vision Inspires Erotic Ink

Don’t read this unless you believe in channeling or spirit guides.

“It’s only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we evolve.”

— J.Cleese

After what felt like years being stuck in a place of indecision in both my love life and career, I did the one thing I said I wouldn’t ever do.

I contacted a psychic medium.

Sure, you could say I was desperate for answers. I wanted to know what to do with my life. Perhaps I was looking for someone to tell me exactly what to do so I could stop overthinking it all — or someone to take charge and point me in the direction of where to go next.

Or maybe I was simply lacking the confidence to trust my own inner-voice, which screamed at me to focus on my writing career. Do what you love, never work a day in your life, j.j.

And there I was.

Me, sitting on the floor of a stale old hotel room that smelled like years of sex mixed with orange air freshener — my back against a cold white plastered wall and my legs bent into a seemingly uncomfortable yoga pose.

With my MacBook resting on my lap, I impatiently waited for Zoom to connect, while asking myself what the f*&k I was doing asking a psychic for job and love advice.

Then she appeared. She explained that she was a psychic medium, who long had a knack for channeling spirit guides to pass along knowledge to others about their own spiritual journeys.

Some say what I do is woo-woo, she whispered. But consider staying open and hold off on making a judgment until the end…

She asked me to ask a question that I wanted answered in the session, but to keep it to myself.

She then asked me to close my eyes and breathe deeply. She gently instructed: Inhale. Exhale. After several rounds of breathing, I opened my eyes to witness her hips rhythmically swaying in circles on my screen. Her hands floated and danced in the air. And she hummed.

I mustered every bit of strength within me to keep a smile or laugh from bursting out of me. I couldn’t take any of it, or her, seriously.

After a number of minutes of this spiritual magic, the psychic medium announced that it was time to deliver her message from the spirit guides.

Her message: the journey has infinite love for you. You are floating through a time and space of love. Allow yourself to flow toward love. Feel it. Let love fill you. Allow yourself to keep floating past love and relationships that restrain you from floating freely. Trust yourself. Evolve. Welcome change.

And write erotica.

Have you ever considered writing erotica? she softly asked.

Yes! That’s exactly what I’ve secretly wanted to do for years — write erotic fiction and poetry. Thinking about writing steamy, passionate words sets me on fire. Writing makes me feel alive.

She smiled an inviting half-smile. You’ve held the answers all this time.

It’s your time to work your magic.
