Psychic Addiction
This topic has come up for me many times over so I cannot ignore the
part of me that wants to write about it. Psychic addiction, like any
other addiction, is VERY real. Chemical dependencies are well defined
by our medical and psychiatric communities. I personally love my
coffee first thing in the morning and I'm such a beast without it LOL.
What about our desire for another person to consistently validate what
we are feeling? Or how about our addiction to hearing good news over
and over and over again? How can we define this?
Symptoms of Psychic Addiction most commonly include:
1.)
Getting readings on the same topic before any predictions come to pass.
This can be from the same reader or multiple readers.
2.) Feeling an urge to get a reading to give you that "rush".
3.) Realizing you spend more money on readings/month than you do on other true necessities.
4.) Having a need for a reading because you don't feel empowered enough to make decisions in life.
5.) A consistent desire to have other people in your life validate every move you make.
There
are many more symptoms of psychic addiction. Of course I want clients
to come back to me. However, it is an ethical advisor's job to bring a
client to a place where he/she is using his/her own intuition in making
decisions. Trust me, there will be a time when Spirit kicks you in the
butt by not providing accurate information to you through psychics.
You will begin to see inconsistencies in your readings because it is
your time to grow up and use your own intuitive abilities. I remember
when this happened to me. At first, it was scary but then I
remembered all the tools I had been given from my advisors which
allowed me to use my own judgement in making decisions that were in my
highest good.
Some ways to get over your Psychic addiction include:
1.) Ask yourself, "Why am I getting a reading?" Do you need a feel-good bandage to cover up old wounds? Are you unhappy about your life? Are you bored? Upset? Angry? Grieving? There is ALWAYS a reason we are in a place of needing another's validation.
2.) Find
an advisor or two and stick with them. Psychic surfing, especially on
the same topic, shows Spirit you don't have faith--faith in the
universe as well as faith in the information you receive from Spirit
through your advisor. Spirit DOES get upset
when he/she guides you and you provide him/her a quick slap in the face
by asking the same set of questions to another channel. Wouldn't you
feel upset if you spent time advising your friend on a matter and
he/she decided to ask everyone else the same question over and over
again? Spirit wants you to grow but you only get so many freebies.
3.) Figure
out what you can truly afford to spend on readings. Your bills and
other commiments come first. Stick to it. Each month diminish this
value by 10%. Rather than getting a "quick fix" ask questions that
will assist you in moving forward with your own development. Which
brings me to the next point....
4.) Find an advisor that
empowers you. By using readings as a source of consistent validation or
as a way to momentarily make you feel good, you are disempowering
yourself. Of course we want you to feel good after you speak to us,
but it is our job to provide you the tools and guidance to standing on
your own two feet. You need to be accountable for your own life. We
don't make you do anything and we certainly don't cause predictions to
happen. This is your work.
5.) If
you get the urge for that psychic reading fix, ask yourself how
important it is that you know the answer. Wait 24 hours and ask
yourself again. 99.9% of the time, you will either unconsciously or
consciously figure out what the answer is.
6.) Manifest you know answer to your query by saying, "I know
the answer to _______ and I feel so _____ (happy/successful)." and feel
it. Truly believe the universe will provide you an answer in the form
of a conversation, TV commercial, road sign...focus on the end result
of knowing the answer but do NOT speculate on the answer--it's all in
the hands of the Universe so just let it go.
With that being said, here are some good reasongs to get a reading:
1.) You want to double check your own intuition.
2.) You feel stuck in your life and growth and want guidance on how to move forward to that "next step".
3.) You are developing your own psychic abilities and need some one-on-one assistance.
4.) Enough time has gone by for predictions to have passed (or haven't passed) from a previous reading.
5.) You are entering a new phase in your life and want a good spiritual kick-start.
6.) You
enjoy readings for sheer entertainment and fun. It's perfectly fine to
ask if you should dye your hair red, if eating burritos is good for
you. I'm all business but I love silly questions--both asking and
answering them :)
In this life, our overall goals include
two things:. First, we are to come to a place where we are in
alignment with our Spirit and working towards fulfilling our soul's
purpose. This will be different for everyone and there are always
options in this arena. For me, I am a "teacher" and
I can do this in my scientific career as well as through readings and
advising. This is part of my soul's purpose. Second, Spirit would
like for us to come to a place of living in the moment. This means we
do not dwell on the past or the future and have faith that the Universe
will provide for us in everyway. No human will get here 100%, but with
each reading we have the ability to progress our Spirit self by asking
what work we can do to get closer to the place of loving life in the
moment. Allow a reading to empower you rather than make you feel like
an out of control victim.
