How To Handle Negative Psychic Predictions
A client was learning to use her intuition, but was concerned with the fact that sometimes she got predictions that weren’t happy or light.
“What do you do when you get future events that you wouldn’t want to happen yourself? If you believe in your own powers based on your predictions coming true in the past, and you predict negative happenings that may go against something you’d want to happen, then how do you go on? How do you take any action in the world or get involved in activities that you may want to but feel very strongly won’t happen by simply having faith in your own super-sensitive psychic feelings-power?
Oh, did my client need a Clue Brick upside the head on this!
I make it a point not to assume my predictions are set in stone and absolute. Is it true that there is nothing anyone can do to change a potentially negative situation? Not at all.
My philosophy of life? “Here are your opportunities and here’s how to run with them. Here are your challenges and here’s how to get through them or around them. He’s your tool box — go rock your life.”
And while I believe in my own abilities, I still hold to my “even the best psychics aren’t 100% accurate” rule.
I always make sure that the person I’m reading for knows they have free will in handling any situation — from failing tests to car crashes.
As someone who has faced breast cancer three times, I know that the best way to deal with any tough situation or negative happening is to viscerally “get” the lesson involved, have NO self-pity, and always ask “what’s next?”
Back to my intuitive rookie: I told her she’d just waved a BIG red flag: when you think you have “a personal history inundated with possible psychic predictions that came true out of your own powers,” then you’re in trouble.
It’s time to completely give up the idea that they are “your” powers! You’re just the metaphysical garden hose through which information comes for those who seek your help. When you accept that, you feel far less responsible for a client’s actions. That’s when you can help them be more open to possibilities on how to deal with what’s ahead.
Reading over a thousand people a year the way I do, I had to learn that lesson fast, or I would have collapsed. Ego — whether it comes with pride or concern around being “right” enough for people — will short-circuit your abilities and you won’t be nearly as open to potentials.
And finally, remember: what you may feel is “negative” may be precisely the event, the wake-up call, the catalyst that can catapult someone from an ordinary life to an extraordinary one. Who would Theodore Roosevelt have become had he been without childhood ailments to conquer?
In my own life, had I not experienced the challenging childhood and young adult life I did, would I have been moved to do the work I have chosen, with compassion and understanding? It’s doubtful.
If I hadn’t gone through three bouts of breast cancer and come out scarred but emotionally whole on the other side, would I be able to teach about The Examined Life as deeply as I do? Probably not.
So even what looks to be a negative prediction on the surface may be a clarion call for something greater ahead, once the initial challenge is met.
Don’t be afraid of psychic readings that aren’t all sunshine and unicorns. They could be holding the most amazing Life Lessons and gifts that make your future bright on the other side.
