You don’t have to be a chosen one.
I wasn’t raised in a woo-woo household. In my teenage years I became obsessed with Tarot and Astrology, but I had little in the way of a mystical role model to encourage or guide me. I was also sick A LOT. I suffered from insomnia because I was shit-scared to go to sleep, and I often felt (and saw) ghosts. When I look back now, it’s obvious to me that I was an undiagnosed ‘sensitive kid’.
When I moved out of home, travelled the world, went to university and into a graduate job, all my interest in the occult arts fell by the wayside. When I worked in corporate, I used to read the daily horoscopes in our team meetings, but I was quickly dragged into an office by my manager and reprimanded for being so unprofessional.
Many years later, I was finishing a Kinesiology session with a lovely woman who was a Reiki Master and Tarot Reader. She gave me a huge hug, thanked me profusely, and then commented “You’re so intuitive!”
Truthfully, I nearly turned to look behind me to see who she was talking to.
I had never identified or labelled myself in this way. Me? Intuitive? You’ve got me mixed up with someone else.
And this is how it goes.
If ANY quality, whether it is intuition, intelligence, or ingenuity, has never truly been witnessed or acknowledged – you’re going to have a hard time believing that you have it.
Interestingly, many clients come to me to reclaim their intuitive gifts and psychic powers. I’ve come to discover that the difficulty in owning these gifts is not only due to a lack of encouragement, support or guidance. The obvious problem is the fear that expressing these gifts will lead to unwanted consequences – such as rejection, ostracism, humiliation, persecution or being burned at a stake (you know, all the fun things).
While I love to help clear these fears, there’s another more subtle block that holds clients back.
There seems to be a prevailing assumption that intuitive or psychic powers are somehow ‘special’ or reserved for the ‘chosen ones.’ This is followed by a raft of assumptions and generalisations about what being psychic means. i.e. that you talk to dead people or predict the future.
Ultimately, this assumption that psychic gifts are ‘special’ prevents you from owning your psychic gifts.
When you’re led to believe that psychic powers are ‘special’ belonging only to a ‘gifted few’, you can get into the habit of unknowingly disqualifying yourself from having access to your own unique and God-given psychic faculties. 'Little old me' surely couldn't have such miraculous powers!
Your psychic sensitivity is part of your innate bio-circuitry and is your Divine birthright. Like any of your other senses, your psychic senses have a role to play. Your body, as a frequency reader, connects to the timeless ‘field’ and attunes to your environment and takes in mind-boggling amounts of data. This information provides the basis for insights you can use for decision-making and action – to ensure your survival, enhance your vitality, and preserve ease and flow.
Your psychic abilities are also vital to your ability to hear the guidance of your Superconscious and navigate your life’s path. They are to be used first and foremost for yourself. They’re to be honoured and recognised in you, not paraded as a part of a magic show. In short, your psychic senses are a fundamental part of your connected and integrated energy system.
If you don’t ‘feel very psychic’ (a comment I often hear) – it’s time to realise that this is not because you don’t have these gifts, it is because you have lost access to them. They have gone ‘offline’, been interfered with, disconnected or dismantled. They are not fully or effectively integrated into your energy system.
When your psychic abilities are dis-integrated, you become the PSYCHIC SPONGE. You’re constantly taking in multitudes of data and hoarding it. And if this data is toxic, it will make you unwell. Mental confusion, brain fog, anxiety, depression, looping thoughts, fatigue, any ailment you can name. Your energy system has become a dumping ground. The data is not being filtered and connected to any form of executive function, it’s not being used for guidance, insight or decision-making that can enhance your life or anyone else's. Consider for a moment all that ‘boundary work’ you’re doing. Without full ownership and sovereignty of your psychic sensitivities, it is near impossible. 😫
If you’re a self-proclaimed ‘psychic sponge’ who has felt overwhelmed by your sensitivities, take a moment to ask yourself: are you scared of owning your psychic gifts? What are you afraid of? It’s time to take back your power from this fear, remembering that you can let them express in the way that feels right for you. But please stop self-excluding yourself from the ‘Psychic Powers Club,’ you’re a worthy member.
