Psychic Messages: If You Will Them, They Will Come
Psychic Messages
If You Will Them, They Will Come
by Lisa Shaw
“When did you know you had the gift?” is a common question clients pose to intuitive counselors when they’re impressed with a reading. Actually, some clients ask the question before a reading, hoping to gauge the experience of the psychic from whom they seek advice. It’s true that many people are aware of their intuitive abilities at very young ages, having conversations with guides and spirit teachers whom their parents dismiss as harmless imaginary friends. Some intuitives grow up exceptionally centered, possessing a wisdom beyond their years, setting them apart from their peers, and others are shocked into their gifts through some type of accident or illness, as traditional shamans are. But not all psychic abilities emerge naturally; many of us require preparation, the same way we learn any skill or trade, and the results are just as miraculous as those coming from people we praise as especially gifted.
We can awaken our intuitive abilities through will and commitment. Abilities might be a more appropriate term than “gifts,” as gifts can denote privilege and selectivity whereas innate abilities, like the natural senses, are accessible to all with intention, instruction, and plenty of practice. If we devote ourselves to our own spiritual journey, these abilities will not only emerge but continue to strengthen.
Take, for example, the “gut feeling” you might have entering a room. You may not be able to put your finger on the precise cause of your discomfort, but the gnawing is compelling enough to move you to another place. We’ve read many stories of people who had that feeling when they were about to step into an elevator or board a plane that soon met with disaster but “something” very consciously diverted them before the elevator shaft gave way or the plane crashed. How many 9/11 stories did we read about people who for some reason – nothing they could specify– felt steered away from their offices at the World Trade Center on that horrific day? They attribute their being safely delivered elsewhere to an external force when, in fact, it could have been their own intuitive knowing that kept them home. Our first lesson in becoming psychic is to pay heed to that inner pull, however illogical it seems at the time.
