Working as a psychic medium i come across many people who say, i would love to  be able to do what you do, it must be such an amazing job. Well its definitely different i can say that. Over the years when asked what i did for a living i would always say i was a therapist & try to change the conversation, never really owning my power & being confident in myself & what i do. But these days i quite enjoy saying  ‘yes i work as a psychic medium’ it can be a real conversation killer. 

I remember being invited to a drinks party & unbeknown to me there were a few Christians present, as usual everyone wants to know what everyone does for a living & when asked i replied ‘ i give readings’ ‘Oh how wonderful’ the lady remarked, ‘& what passages from the Bible do you read from’.  Well like a red flag to a bull  i just couldn’t resist saying, ‘no actually i speak to dead people’. In hindsight i think i should have waited for her to finish her sausage on a stick before giving my reply, lets just say it didn’t go down to well, a bit like the sausage. 

This job is a vocation not just something you wake up one morning & decide to do. I hear stories about people who have gone on a few workshops or courses & then proceed to chuck in their jobs & set themselves up as readers. I always ask when people say i want to be able to do what you do & earn a living as a psychic or medium, why? & the only answer i want to hear is, i wish to be of service to others, but sadly that’s not always the case. Working in this field brings great responsibility & as you know words are very powerful & can plant  seeds  in the sub-conscious both positive & negative.

A few years back i sat in a development circle & a fellow student who was also a working medium & teacher gave me a message that someone close to me would die within the next six months, but don’t worry she said, spirit will gather round & support me. It was all said in a very casual way & then she rambled on about other things which were going on in my life which made no sense what so ever. I remember feeling very angry & wanting to lean across & slap her for being so irresponsible in what she was  saying, even though i work with spirit it still planted a little seed of worry in my mind about those close to me. As it transpired an older cousin of mine i had met a few times & didn’t know very well did pass away, even so it taught me how important it is when given a clairvoyant reading to be fully aware of the impact our messages can have & to be mindful of what to say or not to say.
 
I’ve just finished reading a book about the life of a well know psychic who now works mostly abroad, this lady is a very gifted psychic & medium but has never sat in a development circle. Before she begins her readings she offers the client the option as to whether they wish to know everything she see’s or not. If they choose to know everything she will tell them if someone close is going to die or if she see’s an accident or even a murder. Even though her client has asked to be told everything that does not mean they can handle the information when given, which brings me back to the need for responsibility in the messages that are given out by clairvoyants.

As any genuine psychic will tell you, we can & do get things wrong were not perfect. So if you want to walk this path or more importantly spirit wish to use you as a channel know that it will not always be easy, spirit will test you many times. It can be a rollercoaster ride of emotions doing a job that relies souley on your intuition, trusting what you either see, hear or feel connecting to the person sat opposite you. There will be good days & bad days but if you keep your feet firmly on the ground & know that the message is more important than the messenger you’ll do ok.
