Sometimes Less Is More

In all the years I’ve been doing psychic readings the one question I am asked the most has always been: “What do you see and how do you know what message to relay to the client?”

Is it possible to give too much information to someone, and can it color the way an individual goes through their everyday life if you do? I believe so.

I can think of many readings where information came through that, had I told the person everything, would have only served to give them angst and grief. Had I relayed certain information, their life would not have been allowed to take its natural course. Lessons would not have been learned.

For example, one of my clients was going through a long drawn out, and very bitter, divorce that had sapped nearly all her strength and much of her faith. Her soon-to-be-ex husband had her believing that he was next to God – that he knew everything and she could not exist without him.

They were near the end of the divorce and she came to see me. It had been three long years since she had seen him, and she had received an email to say he was planning on coming to town, but he did not know when.

Of course, he knew very well when he was arriving and he was hoping to catch her off guard. I read for her and saw very clearly that he would be there in three days time. I did not tell her that it was only three days. I told her that he would be there in five.

You may be aghast, and even call me a liar! Why would I tell her this? She would have been unable to process that in just three short days her nemesis, the man who had taken everything she had, would be at her doorstep ringing her bell. She would have been a nervous wreck. So, I told her it would be five days.

She had time to relax and couldn’t plan things too much, and indeed had company over when he did arrive on the third day, namely her new and very protective boyfriend, who wasn’t intimidated by her ex. She didn’t look flustered and worried, in fact she looked gorgeous and she was in control of the situation.

Her ex husband didn’t stay, he didn’t make a nuisance of himself, and the next time she came for a session her energy was clear. She had seen her strength. She had seen his weakness. She was free.

This is just one example of how knowing too much too soon can wreak havoc if the psychic does not practice discretion. To be a reader is a sacred gift, one that a psychic must never use for ill, but only to help and benefit others. To help them on, and through their path. To shine light on dark situations, and give strength during dark times.

Discretion is always the better part of valor, and a reader has to always remember what their client’s psyche is able to absorb at that time. Otherwise there is no comprehension, no understanding.

Life is a school, a series of lessons, and you must be able to learn these lessons after one try, much less two or three or four. Free your mind, and the rest will follow.
