Move Forward With Faith, Not Fear!

“Should I be wary or worried about anything in my future?” is a question I often get when I do psychic readings.

This question reflects a pervasive sense of anxiety that seems to be spreading in recent years, driven not only by personal concerns in a fast-paced world, but also by our constant exposure to negativity in the media and on social platforms. We are inundated these days with information that promotes a fearful outlook on life.

Another source of anxiety I have found with some of my first-time clients over the years is the disturbing “readings” they have had with unethical charlatans. These clients then call me and my colleagues at PsychicAccess.com carrying the weight of dire warnings or ominous predictions they have received elsewhere.

Some of these people really struggle to find hope or peace. They often need reassurance that their lives are not destined for suffering or disaster, and many of them also don’t realize that they have the personal power to choose their path with their intentions, beliefs and actions.

I recall a particularly extreme case of a young woman and her mother who contacted me for a reading shortly after suffering a tragic loss. Their loved one, the young woman’s father, had ended his own life just two weeks earlier. Their healing journey was complicated by a disturbing message they had received from a “spirit medium” who claimed to have communicated with the deceased.

The medium’s message was anything but comforting, let alone spiritual. He told them that the father’s spirit was very angry and restless, and that another family member might be in physical danger. He even suggested that a special banishment and energy cleansing ritual was urgently needed to prevent this ominous outcome, leaving some members of the family in fear. Although this was an exceptional case, it illustrates the potential harm of negative, inaccurate messages, especially when delivered by those who are mistakenly believed to be gifted experts or spiritual authority figures.

This is why it is so important to only consult with reputable psychics when you are seeking a reading. Ethical psychics and mediums adhere to professional standards and a moral code of conduct, provide a safe and supportive environment for their clients, and prioritize the well-being of their clients. By working with an ethical psychic or medium, you can be confident in the authenticity and integrity of your reading experience.

To find a trustworthy psychic or medium online, research their background, experience, and reputation. Look for client testimonials or reviews that speak to their professionalism and the quality of their readings. Ethical practitioners are transparent about their methods and will never guarantee miracle results, as true psychic work is based on insight and guidance, not certainty.

Reputable psychics will also avoid instilling fear or creating dependency, instead empowering you to make informed decisions. Credible practitioners emphasize honesty, compassion, and respect for privacy. Finally, beware of those who pressure you into frequent sessions or promise unrealistic results; ethical psychics respect your free will and autonomy and provide guidance and support without manipulation or fear-mongering.

The Toxic Effects Of Fear

Fear is a powerful emotion that can disturb our souls, control our minds, and poison our bodies. The phrase “False Evidence Appearing Real” (F.E.A.R.) is often used by motivational speakers and self-help gurus to describe how our minds can create a sense of fear or anxiety based on imagined or distorted evidence. Negative thinking and false beliefs can cause us to perceive threats or dangers as real or imminent, even when there is no concrete evidence, or when the evidence is exaggerated or misinterpreted.

Often the things we fear are merely projections created by our minds that never actually happen. When we imagine negative scenarios or adopt fearful beliefs, our mind accepts them as reality. We form mental images that our subconscious mind interprets as real events, and these thoughts begin to affect our physical and mental health.

Scientific studies have shown that anxiety and chronic stress can contribute to a number of diseases, including autoimmune disorders, heart disease, and mental disorders. Anxiety triggers a chain reaction in the body that activates the fight-or-flight response, which over time takes a toll on our immune system, digestive system, and even brain function.

Breaking Free From F.E.A.R.

Our minds are powerful, and how we choose to interpret our experiences largely determines our emotional and physical well-being. When we live in the past, we replay old experiences, sometimes reliving negative events that only reinforce current fears. When we project these fears into the future, we risk creating a self-fulfilling prophecy in which our fearful thoughts become reality.

This is where a shift in focus can be transformative. When we let go of what we can’t control, we free ourselves from the burden of trying to manage the unknown. By focusing on the present moment and aligning ourselves with positive intentions, we can redirect our energy away from fear and anxiety. A critical part of the journey to overcoming fear is recognizing that peace and fear cannot coexist. When we approach life from a place of inner peace, it becomes much easier to manage our thoughts, emotions, and even our physical well-being.

Here are some guidelines to help you let go of fear and cultivate a mindset rooted in peace and positivity:

Focus on your desires, not your fears: Our thoughts create our reality. When we focus on what we want rather than what we fear, we create a mental landscape of positivity and possibility. Instead of asking, “What if something goes wrong?” try asking, “What could go right?” This shift not only creates a sense of optimism, but also sets the stage for more positive experiences.

Celebrate your blessings: It’s easy to overlook the small moments of gratitude and self-esteem when we’re overwhelmed by anxiety. Take time each day to acknowledge the positive aspects of your life, no matter how small. Celebrating these moments shifts your perspective from one of scarcity to one of abundance, reducing the power that fear holds.

Focus on what you can control: Trying to control everything is impossible, and when we try, we often become more anxious. Instead, focus on the aspects of life that you can control, such as your reactions to situations, your self-care, and your personal goals. By letting go of the rest, you can reclaim energy that would otherwise be drained by worry.

Be patient with yourself: Anxious thoughts can be persistent, especially if they have been part of your mindset for a long time. Replacing them with positive thoughts may take time, and that’s okay. Give yourself the space to grow, knowing that every step, no matter how small, brings you closer to a life free of unnecessary anxiety.

Adopt a spiritual routine: Spirituality is profoundly effective in reducing fear and anxiety because it fosters a deep sense of inner strength, hope, and peace. When we engage in daily spiritual practices such as meditation, prayer, mindful breathing, or chanting, we become much more grounded and centered, allowing us to observe our fears from a place of inner calm and strength, rather than reacting to them with distress or anxiety.

Make the divine connection: Spirituality connects us to something greater than ourselves, to our ancestors, guides, and angels, to a higher power, to the universal source that provides comfort, protection, and perspective during the most difficult of times. Regular spiritual practice also encourages self-reflection and personal growth, helping us to recognize and release patterns of fear and worry, replacing them with trust and acceptance. By consistently nurturing this connection, we cultivate a more positive outlook, improve our emotional well-being, and develop the inner strength and resilience to face fears with a sense of confidence and purpose.

Remember, no matter what the situation, the power to overcome fear and find peace is within you. As a spiritual counselor, it is my job to guide others to this understanding so that they can move forward with courage and grace. Ultimately, when we choose faith over fear, we align ourselves with a higher energy – a sacred force that brings us not only peace, but the strength to meet life’s challenges with resilience, grace and lots of enthusiasm!
