Cultivating your psychic self

My own journey to understanding myself as a psychic person could best be described as waves. Somewhat confident, but mostly inconsistent with feelings of confusion as to what was happening to me. What’s funny is that in retrospect, I recall years of praying that I would be of good use to people, but I had no conscious idea what my gifts were.

I flirted with becoming a pastor and possibly a social worker. Finally, I settled into a career as a graphic designer and art director after reflecting on the people around me and mimicking them. You would think my experience meeting and befriending Marge and the story of the little yellow house would have been a big clue. But I was in deep denial, I was putting forth my best effort to fit in and be normal. It worked for a while.

A pivotal moment came after the birth of my youngest child. It was spring and we packed up the kids to take them to Prospect Park in Brooklyn. As we were parking the car I had an overwhelming feeling of warmth and loving-kindness. It radiated out from my chest. My friend Daphne appeared in my mind's eye. I thought, well that’s curious.

Daphne is an incredible woman. She’s light, loving, funny and full of joy - no matter the challenges she faces. I’d met her in the late 90’s when I was volunteering and was her tutor for a bit. She attended my wedding and we remained friends but with me raising a family I didn’t get to connect with her beyond my annual Christmas cards.

We entered the park that day and it was gorgeous and packed full of people. The sky was brilliant blue and it was perfect t-shirt weather. I settled in on a blanket and commenced to feeding my new baby when out of the corner of my eye, I saw Daphne. Sitting there, feeding him I was able to integrate the loving kindness radiating from my chest and the vision I’d just had. Well I’ll be damned. I got up, we embraced like the long lost friends we were, she oohed and ahhed over my new baby. It was a picture perfect day. I’ve got so many stories like this, that helped me to actually see myself.

How about you? How many stories do you have? If you’d like to develop these skills, I’ve got a Psychic Development Masterclass coming up. Let me know if you’d like to be in on that.
