Many years ago, visited a new intuitive reader for a psychic reading. She was down-to-earth, sweet, and accurate.
We were about 10 minutes into the session when I asked for guidance about a family situation. I was ready to kick off my shoes, curl up on her couch, and listen to some spiritual advice while I sipped my latte.
But it didn’t go as I had hoped…
Instead of giving me the divine guidance I was seeking, the new intuitive reader got excited (understandably!) and said, “Oh I know exactly what you mean!”
Then, she began telling me that she had been in a similar family situation.
Okay, that’s cool, but for the next 20 minutes of my 45-minute reading, it wasn’t about me at all. Instead, she was telling me about her family and how she handled a similar situation.
I didn’t feel like the conversation was divinely guided, and I didn’t feel that she was guided to open her heart and share her story with me, either.
I felt like she had disconnected from my energy and wanted to talk about what had happened to her.
I felt sad, but learned a lesson that day:
Don’t talk about yourself when you are giving an intuitive, tarot, or mediumship reading.
New Intuitive Reader Tip
There will be times when clients come to you with problems you can relate to or are experiencing something similar to what you’ve been through. This can happen because:
- Like attracts like
- We all come from the same creator
- We are all on this planet having human experiences
It’s natural to be compassionate, feel a connection with another person, and want to share from our hearts. But when you start talking about yourself during a reading, you shift away from the energy of your client.
So, remember:
Always set the intention to serve your client’s highest and best good before giving an intuitive reading, or any other type of reading (mediumship, Akashic Records, tarot, numerology, past life, etc.)
If you feel divinely guided to share, do so briefly so you stay connected with your client’s energy.
Psychic ability and mediumship work in all sorts of magical and subtle ways. Just remember to keep connected to your heart and work for the highest and best good of others.
As a new intuitive reader, this will help you give a meaningful reading, keep a high vibe, and support your client’s journey.
