When you pay a psychic for a reading, what are you actually paying someone to do?  Before I had strong psychic awareness and could channel for myself, I assumed it was like any other kind of hearing and passive.

It’s not.  Or, not entirely.  Sometimes if the other side has a big message for me, they’ll yell and I hear them whether open to channeling or not.  For the most part though, it requires me to do some work.

I’m trying now to explain a sensory experience that I don’t know the actual physical application of.  My guess is I am opening my 7th chakra (at the top of the head) to allow something to come through.  It feels like lifting slightly up in the crown.  I then feel an energy inside my head, and I will “meet it” with my thoughts.  I akin it to giving a microphone to a guest so they have something to talk with.  I lend the energy that creates thoughts to the energy presence channeled through the top of my head.

The voice I hear usually sounds like my own thinking voice.  The biggest assurance it’s something other is not the reaction of my clients, who are usually stunned by the accuracy, but the sensation present.  I feel “in line”, like there’s a certain energy pattern pulling me and I can feel if something fits in it or doesn’t.  My own thoughts might sneak in, but I can feel an energetic resistance which tells me they aren’t accurate.  Like the tide is going a certain direction, and this thought isn’t in line with it.

Often during a reading I will sense beings present, guides who come forward for a specific purpose to do healing work.  It’s very difficult to describe this element, since I’m not “seeing” them, either with my eyes or in my mind.  I just know they’re there, and what they are doing.  I “feel” it might be a more accurate description.

All of this occurs only when I open into the channel (lifting at the 7th chakra and meeting the energy with my ‘thoughts’).  Otherwise, I’m not especially cognizant of other dimensions/forces.  The only thing that is a constant is the physical sensation of energy, which I’ve talked about before and will probably mention again because it is something of a disruption in my life.

And lastly, I’d like to emphasize that all of this is only to speak to my subjective experience.  Other psychics may channel or sense things in different ways, and I suspect all methods are specific to the person.  Essentially, we’re all born with talents unique to us, and just as no two people sound alike in singing, I don’t believe any two people are alike in the expression of psychic awareness.
