Being Psychic Is A Genetic Trait

I never thought of myself as being psychic. Never in my wildest dreams!

Often, hardcore skeptics discount psychic abilities as attention-seeking strategies or falsely devised methods used to manipulate others for a person’s own gain.

Then there are also ‘mentalists’.  As per the Mentalist series on TV, people who can read others very well and understand them deeply, even down to how a person arranges their thoughts.  That’s not being psychic, though, in my opinion.

It’s difficult to hear, yet I also have to acknowledge that there are people out there who are using their psychic skills for personal gain, even psychically gifted people who are carrying out morally questionable activities using their gifts – and there are people out there posing as psychics, too, without any true gifts – all for their own reasons.

There are also questionable lawyers, dentists, doctors, and celebrities. Add your profession or current occupation here____________________.

There Are Bad Apples In the Psychic Field, Just Like Any Other Profession

Yet all the above examples don’t get the same bad rap that is often applied liberally with a very wet brush to all of those with a psychic ability, for fair reasons or foul.

Those who have psychic abilities plus a moral compass learn that in order to live in peace with our gifts, we have to embrace them.

As part of that process comes the need to talk about them and share our experiences – even if we choose only one or two people who are open to listening for our own personal safety and peace of mind.

Explaining Being Psychic to My Mum

In my case, I noticed things about others that I assumed everyone else knew for many years. In my teens, I started talking about my experiences with my mum.

At the time (she was a shut-down spiritual medium and an energetic sensitive), she would look at me with fear and disapproval in her eyes.

That is pretty strong programming for a young girl, so I did what she was ‘telling’ me and stopped talking about it, with her or with anyone else.

It got worse when I went to see a Romany person on Portsmouth Pier, who read my palms. This lady was in her ’80s, and only knew my first name and age. What she read and predicted, however, was spookily accurate.

I went home relieved that I wasn’t the only one – and got shut down by my mum again!

It Didn’t Stop Me Being Psychic, Though

I wasn’t asking for the experiences I had or trying to seek attention – I was simply living my life – yet they still happened, and after a while I was able to make sense of them.

I now know how to make sense of my experiences – I needed to validate them with facts.

It’s a hard place to be when a person is having visions, clair-audient experiences, and sometimes premonitions that come true – yet that person has no one to talk to who is relatable and able to calm their fears and worries.

Being Psychic, We Don’t Ask for the Experiences; We Just Get Them

Once a person with psychic abilities starts to embrace their gift – even by simply recognizing their own abilities in their own mind…then synchronistic events start to become more noticeable.

I always hated a particular family friend and couldn’t put into words why this was so (I used to scream when he came near me as a baby and small child). My parents would shush me because I was being ‘rude’.

Later in life, my mum told me this family friend would engineer times to be alone with her and make sexual approaches when my dad was absent – she always pushed him away.

(Now that, in the psychic world, is what we call validation – a skeptic may just call it ‘good instincts’).  Either way, I had an internal knowing called clairsentience.

At Some Point, We Grow Our Own Moral Compass

Being psychic, should we ‘peek’ at somebody else’s energy without their permission?  I guess we could if we were purely attention-seeking or using our gifts for our own personal gain!

For example, just because I can see into my neighbor’s bathroom and they are unaware of it…should I look?   That’s where the moral compass comes in.

A Lesson to Teach Me Not to Abuse My Gift

When out on a celebratory dinner with my ex-husband a few years ago, we were eating in a restaurant, and I had a couple of strong drinks.  We were chatting about psychic ability, and he dared me to ‘look’ at somebody at the bar.

I did so and in my psychic eye saw these massive fish leaping around the guy’s head.  I thought it was pretty funny in my slightly inebriated state and told my husband.

I then headed out to our truck as my husband paid the check.  He came straight out of the restaurant and told me I was right about the guy I had peeked at.

My husband overheard his conversation whilst paying for our food at the bar – the man in question was a competitive bass fisherman and in the area (Branson, MS) to enter a competition the next day.

I was shocked and in that moment, hit my head really hard on the truck door.  Ouch!

A Reprimand For Privacy Invasion

As a physically gifted person, it was time for me to develop my own moral compass and avoid using my gift as a side show, party trick, or manipulative tool.

Also, the big message was coming through – do not mix spiritual work with alcohol!

These days, I drink very little alcohol since I work a lot more.

And the spiritual journey continues….
