I had to call my pain specialist's office today. I was hurting, upset, and blubbering. The lady who answered the phone calmly listened to me for a few minutes, took notes, and passed the message on to the doctor.
I made a big mistake during this conversation; I forgot to calm down and ask questions. The right questions would have been the ones that armed me with information. Information that would empower me to make my next pain related decision a wise one.
Why is the current therapy making my pain worse? Will this recent bout get better? If so, when? What are my options for dealing with this current bout of increased pain?
The message got to the doctor via the receptionist, the doctor answered, gave his answer to his assistant, who called me back...what I heard her say was: "The doctor wants to stick a needle into your spine next week."
You can imagine what my reaction too this was. Me, I was hoping for something for the pain, NOW. Not too wait for another week and then - a needle in my spine.
But, that is not was she said. It is what I heard. No, what she said was "We will refer you to the big pain clinic in the city, or, the doctor can give you an injection in your spine next week. We have next Thursday open."
You see, I was already upset. So, when the message hit my ears, it sounded much worse than it would have if I had been calm. If I had been calm, I would have been more rational, more ready to accept and weigh my options, and ask questions so I know I am making the right choice for me.
Instead, I hung up the phone more upset then when I had started.
This happens all the time in phone readings. People reach out to us when they are upset. Of course, we want to reach a hand to them and help. But, when we are upset, we usually do not ask the right questions. And, when we are upset, we often are not ready for the real answers...we just want the pain too stop, NOW.
Reaching out too people when you are in pain, is good, and its healthy. Reaching out is what you are supposed to do. We are here to love and be loved. It is a very important part of life on Earth.
Our job as psychics is to relay information...if we are coming from a place of integrity, we try with all our might do it accurately. And in order to be accurate we must to be honest.
And, the old saying is true. The truth can hurt.
As readers, we do not want to hurt you, ever. That's not our intention at all.
Yet, we are bound by Spiritual Law. We must be honest.
If you reach for information before you are ready, receiving it can be a devastating experience. In a moment of pain and confusion, it may make things look worse than they are. The answer may sound more horrific than it really is.
When you are calm, centered and self-focused (because it is about you, not anyone else) you are ready. You have much better chances of walking away from your reading inspired, encouraged, enlightened....which is really what we want.
Gather your information when you are ready...and let it empower you.
