Always Keep An Open Mind

Every psychic has told a client something that has made the client doubt the psychic’s ability, and perhaps even sanity. I remember predicting that a high school friend was going to lose something valuable to him, and shortly after he would get into a car accident. I told him I knew he wasn’t using a seat belt and the loss of the something valuable would be the universe’s warning to start doing so. He looked at me like I was crazy.

A few months later he told me he lost his wallet, and he remembered what I said and it scared him enough to start using his seat belt. A few days later he and friend went over a cliff in his car. The police officer told him that he would have died, had he not been wearing his seat belt.

He mentioned this story again at our ten year high school reunion, praising me as the person who had saved his life. Of course, I never mentioned the eye rolling and the “you’re crazy” look he gave me when we were kids. As a psychic, that is part of the path and you learn to suck it up and deal with skepticism. Plus, I have never felt that saying ”I told you” is dignified.

As a client myself, I remember a medium telling me I would one day also work as a medium. I was successful in the performing arts for most of my life, and in my mind there was no way she was right. And, here  I am today. You really don’t know where life is going lead you.

I don’t know any person who says that their life turned out exactly like they planned. Most people I know married someone who did not fit their description of the perfect mate, or divorced the person they thought they would spend the rest of their lives with. Some had more, or less children than they had planned, or had moved to a place where they never imagined they would live in. We just don’t know our life contract. How many things  in your life have been complete surprise, good or bad? What if a psychic had told you that would happen ten years prior? Would you have thought they were a fake, inaccurate, or not properly tuning into you? Most likely you would.

That is why it is important to keep an open mind when getting psychic readings. You are calling a psychic because you don’t know your own future. You shouldn’t blindly believe or trust what any psychic says, but at least keep an open mind.

I once told a client she would give birth to baby girl. She simply could not believe it possible. She had been traumatized at age five, when watching her baby brother being born, and swore she would never give birth. In fact, she was using three kinds of birth control to ensure it. A few months later she became pregnant with baby girl and gave birth with the aid of an epidural. Always keep an open mind.

I have had to be the bearer of bad news for many clients in telling them the person they are currently dating, or hoping will come back into their life, is not the person they will marry. Some get very sad, some angry, some hang up. Some say they know I am wrong and I am just not reading them properly. Many call back later to tell me they are now engaged to someone else. Someone much better for them and much more emotionally available came along after all. Attachment to an outcome can only bring you pain. You don’t know what is for your greater good, or what or who will truly make you happy. Always keep an open mind.

I have done a few mediumship readings where the information came in very subtly, and incompletely. If the client is patient and kind, I am usually able to get the message clear and help them connect with their loved ones. If they become skeptical or impatient, the information becomes blocked and I lose my focus. Sometimes I completely lose the connection. I have even had a person from the other side apologize on behalf of their loved one’s behavior and impatience with me! I don’t’ like being treated unkindly any more than anyone else.

I remember one client who called me. I kept seeing a white rabbit. I said did the person who crossed like magic tricks? No. Did she have a pet rabbit? No. I wish the information always came in full sentences and complete novels, but it doesn’t. Finally, working patiently together, the client remembered that her loved one’s favorite song was White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane! After that was cleared, the information flooded in and I was able to see how she passed, why she passed when she did, and was able to give profound messages of healing to my client.

With modern technology, cellphones and social media, we have become a very impatient society. Patience is one of the greatest virtues. Always keep an open mind.

I told a friend she would eventually move to California after all her children also moved there. They all lived on the East coast at the time. She told me none of her kids liked California and she really didn’t see them moving there. She also knew for sure her husband would never consider moving to California. That was several years ago. Currently two of the three children live in California, and the third wants to move there as soon as it becomes financially viable. My friend has since gotten divorced – another thing she never thought would happen after 30 years of marriage. Now that she is no longer with her ex-husband, there is nothing to keep her on the East coast and she is increasingly considering moving closer to her kids. Always keep an open mind.

No psychic is 100% accurate and things do change over time. People choose to go down the wrong path, or take their time going down the right path. But you are calling a psychic for a reason. We do not always understand what we cannot imagine at the time. Just take a deep breath, with some healthy skepticism, and always keep an open mind.
