On Saturday, I tried something a little bit new for me.
I gave intuitive readings at a Psychic and Spiritual Boutique.
Though I was billed as “Your business intuitive,” people asked me a wide range of questions.
And what did I do?
I answered them.
I wasn’t sure quite what to expect going in. To prepare somewhat, I practiced in advance with a few close friends, and they enjoyed the experience, but this was the first time I’d be reading total strangers.
Here’s what it was like:
I sat on the couch with each person who had a question.
On the advice of a friend who is a shaman, I held hands with the person, and closed my eyes. Mostly this helped me to shut out distractions. But I’ve done phone readings before and the images that have come up have been no less vivid.
I’d focus on the person. Maybe they’d want to tell me a bit about themselves beforehand, maybe not.
I’d take three deep breaths and tune in to their energy.
(By the way, since I’ve “come out” as being highly intuitive, some people have seemed to think I automatically know what everybody is thinking or what their fate will be. Not true. Couple of things with this: I’m not tuning in to everybody around me. That would be overwhelming. Even simply being with a crowd can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. And I’m not a mind reader. I’m intuitive. Also, the info I get is often metaphorical. Meaning is teased out. And I have to find the right questions to ask to get meaningful information.)
I wait for a scene to develop.
The scenes I’ve been seeing are highly metaphorical. I focus in on someone and see them on a path. My attention is drawn to various things about the person or their surroundings.
Most people I’ve read so far show up on a path through the woods, though there have been a couple notable exceptions.
I ask what the person would benefit from knowing about their path. Different things draw my attention. Details jump out. Sometimes aspects of the person call out to me: “Notice this!” is what they seem to be saying. It might be a chakra or some detail about the person or their surroundings that is showing up on the metaphorical landscape.
If the person has a question, I ask the question to the landscape. The image shifts, or my attention is drawn to something else. If a challenge is showing up on the landscape for that person, I might ask for suggestions on dealing with the challenge, or what would happen if the challenge were dealt with, or what would happen if the person took a different path. Then new images show up.
I report on what I see. Since what I’m getting with this kind of reading is images, emotions, and kind of a movie, I have to translate it into words. Sometimes it takes me a couple seconds to find the right words for what I see.
Sometimes I hear words to say to the person. So I share those. The messages are generally very comforting. A few people have volunteered that they found the experience validating, or interesting, or peaceful.
For now, at least, I am offering these creative metaphorical visioning sessions via this web site. I have ten minute and thirty minute sessions available. For more information, go here. The packages you’ll want to look at for this sort of work are at the bottom: Creative Metaphorical Visioning, and my half-hour session. The ten-minute session will probably not be available via my web site for long, so if you want that one, grab it now.
