It Doesn't Work That Way
Some people assume that my being intuitive means I’m a mind reader. When they call me and I ask for their name or that of the one whom they are inquiring about, they will say, “You’re the psychic, you tell me.” It doesn’t work that way.
The term “mind reading” is more of a myth. You can't see a thought or hold it in your hand. For me, it’s about tuning into one's energy, which is more to do with their frame of mind and feelings, not what they’re actually thinking verbatim.
Others assume that I am reading their thoughts when I am in their physical presence. So they will use caution when they’re around me or try to undermine me in an attempt to throw me off, so to speak, because they think I’m on to them. It doesn’t work way.
It’s not by reading their thoughts that I’m on to them; it’s my sensing their insecurity from feeling uncomfortable around me in the first place because they think I’m reading their mind.
Then there is, “Tell me what (s)he is doing right now,” meaning the one inquiring wants me to spy on someone... for example, (s)he is getting into their car; (s)he is sitting at her computer; (s)he is sleeping. It doesn’t work that way and it is unethical.
Some would call this remote viewing, which, according to Webster, is “the ability to gather information about a distant or unseen target using paranormal means or extra-sensory perception.” Remote viewing is well and good when used in the right context, such as when it is used in the military and CIA to locate people and places that may be a threat to national security. But that’s a whole other circumstance. It is not intended to be nor is it ethical to use it as a means of “spying” on someone.
Bottom line, being intuitive means reading or sensing one’s energy with the ability to see (clairvoyant), hear (clairvoyant) and feel (clairsentient) beyond what is physically visible and audible, aka supernatural or extra sensory.
And that’s how it works for me.
